Here's a chance for you to win the latest, totally gorgeous CD rom for your crafting - Cherryblossom Lane by Nikky Hall of Polkadoodles. This is an inspired collection based around fanciful flowers and sweet little rabbits. I can honestly say that this is probably my favourite of all the Polkadoodles CD - I will give you a sneek peek tomorrow of some of the lovely stuff all ready for you to print out. All you have to do is leave a comment under this post, and I will randomly draw a winner on Sunday (3rd February) and announce the winner next Monday. As usual, you can enter wherever you live, I will mail worldwide. In the meantime, go to the Polkadoodles gallery to see some of the gorgeous samples that the design team have made. Good luck
Here's my first card, I loved this little Grandad rabbit,and used him to make a retirement card. It's a simple easel, made by folding and scoring the front of a scallop edge card in half.......I printed him out already coloured, although I could have printed him out as a black and white digi image ready to colour if I'd had more time. I printed a matching background paper, it all came together so quickly...
love these ticket sentiments.........I liked the 'here's to new beginnings' sentiment as well. The last thing people need on retirement is to be told 'take it easy' or 'put your feet up' when they are wondering what to do with the rest of their lives!
the clear domed gems add just a touch of restrained sparkle, without making it too 'blingy' to give to a male.......I printed two images out, cut out the rabbit head, and the two front flower pots, and popped them on with foam pads....
I'll be back tomorrow with a couple more Cherryblossom cards for you to look at. See you then x
Enfys,
ReplyDeleteCannot believe I am number one to comment. I love this cd and the bunny card is so cute. I am trying to make cards each special day of the year for 4 little girls. I have my 4 Valentines made and next is Easter. This bunny would be so cute. Hope all is better. I did a comment but it did not show up. What are the changes of winning when you are the first to comment. Thanks for a chance to win..
Adorable card...worth retiring for. Love the colours too. Have to agree with you, Cherry Blossom Lane is totally fab!
