{Father} and a challenge....

It's time for Little Paper Shop's new release blog hog and if you are coming to my blog from Tasha's blog you are on the right track!

If you are jut popping in to say hi - thank you for stopping by!! If you would like to join in our hop (and why wouldn't you?!) you should start at the beginning at the Little Paper Shop blog because you don't miss a sweet thing along the way!

Our new stamp set that we are showcasing today is called {Father} - a sweet stamp set full of masculine sentiments for the man in your life!



I used October Afternoon paper called Fly a Kite for my card today and the BIG Grandpa sentiment - I made a sort of medal because all Grandpa's are #1 winners don't you think?


My second card is for the colour challenge that Little Paper Shop has on today -you are all invited to play along- these are the colours we are using this week






and here is my card




I used one of the stamps from Little Paper Shop's backgrounder stamp set {Behind the Scenes} and stamped it in Spring Moss ink. Then I used various patterned papers to make up the rest of the base of the card.

The butterfly was made by stamping the star from {Little One} on white cardstock and then using my Sizzix butterfly die to cut out the shape.

I tried to do the ruffly ribbon thing -  kind of easy - kind of not.....I'm all thumbs when it comes to things like that lol!

Anyway, thanks for coming around and your next stop is the wonderful Allison!!
