Card by Dale

As my tutorial this month I have created a quick and easy card.

Start with a piece of blue cardstock. On the inside use a rectangle of yellow paper and a scrap piece of blue cardstock. It creates a nice focus point for your sentiment and message to go on.

Next I have used a wavy 12" trimmer to cute 5 x 1cm strips of the Indigo Bleu paper. I have then cut them in half and used 5 strips of one side and woven the 5 strips of the other side through them. Adhere these to your card.

Use a piece of the Fancy Pants paper across the bottom.
Mount your lilybee sentiment sticker on to the lilybee double dutch paper and add two mini brads.
Adhere to card.

Done.


Products used from the Mystical shop:

Pink Paislee Indigo Bleu/Jacquard paper - both sides
blue cardstock
Fancy Pants What a Wonderful Day pp
lilybee Double Dutch croquet pp
Ki Memories mini brads - red
lilybee double dutch sticker

Gallery Pick

Hi Jane here,  It's my turn for a Gallery pick (or two).  I'm hopeful since I was unable to access the Gallery last month I might be able to sneak in a couple of my favourites this month.  Shhhh don't tell Donna!

I've got to tell you I am rather partial to this gorgeous little number from Mel from our Sleeping Beauty challenge in our Fairy Tale Competition ...

isn't she and the page she is on just delightful.

And not to let the boys miss out, how about this equally wonderful page from Toni in Challenge 4 - The Ugly Duckling ...

no ugly duckling this one - just a sensational boy page.

Wonderful work ladies.

I hope you are enjoying our challenges in the Cyber Crop this month - remember you have until midnight Friday, 21st to get your creations into the gallery.

We are now working on Challenge 6 - The Emperor's New Clothes in our Fairy Tale competition.  We'd love to see some more entries for your chance to win some terrific prizes.  As the saying goes .. you have to be in it to win it!

Gallery Pick

If you are like me, you have a ton of photos, but for some reason only create single page layouts....well for my gallery pick I wanted to draw your attention to this lovely double page layout. It is a layout from our May Double Up Cybercrop where Mel71hortin created a beautiful design across the two pages to share her wonderful photos of her busy toddler.

The use of the pink and yellow together is a wonderful combination that reminds me of spring and the butterflies enhance that feeling. Such a stunning page, thanks for sharing Mel.



February Cyber Crop

Next weekend we will have 3 challenges for you and you have all week to do them!  Come and join in, you could win some Mystical shopping vouchers :)

Dale's gallery pick

Check out this bright and fun layout by Toni for Challenge 1 of Mystical's Fairytale competition - Hansel and Gretel.
I love layouts that use multiple photos to tell a story. Aren't they great action shots?
