and for those that enter with non SBDS  creations

I followed an online tutorial by Pam on how to make this clever card which you can find HERE. The centre panel opens and shuts like a camera shutter when the card is opened and closed to reveal the image underneath.

The papers I have used are from digi downloads from Nitwit Collections. I have also used Silver mirri card, Martha Stewart snowflake punches, my Whale of a punch deckled edge tag punch, bakers twine in blue and white, Spellbinders circle die and decorative circle die, octagon and scalloped octagon dies and a Spellbinders label die. I have also added some blue and white card Candi in the centre of the large snowflakes on the front of the card.

Sorry for being MIA - What a nightmare week away

Hi to all my lovely followers

I am so sorry I have not got on your blogs this last week, we came out to see my Dad in France last Wednesday and left the kids with my Dad so hubby and I could enjoy a few days away in Paris. 

 Within an hour of arriving in Paris my Iphone was stolen by two eastern european 10-12 year olds so we spent the whole afternoon in the police station reporting it. After that I felt very unsafe, there were lots of people trying to scam tourists, I have had no way to cheaply contact my son at home in UK or to keep in touch with the kids at my Dads in the Cognac region or to get on my blog or read emails.

 We are now back at my Dads minus my Iphone :-( absolutely devastated! I am even looking forward to getting back into the UK, can you believe it! I promise I will be visiting all your blogs as soon as I have caught up with my emails - I had to cancel my sim and change all my passwords etc so my newest emails would not be able to be read, so have not had online access until this evening.

My DT card for challenge 42 over at Forever Friends

 

Here is my DT card for our new challenge over at Forever Friends Challenge blog.

our theme for this fortnight is

Something New
we are sponsored by Ribbon Girl

 and we would love you to come over and join in the fun HERE.

As you can see I went down the new baby route and tried this technique for the first time.

Firstly I made two blank cards measuring 5.5 x 5.5 inches. I added some Forever Friends patterned paper on the front of both of them and some flowery patterned paper on the inside, I then cut some more of the patterned paper I used on the front, to size but before sticking to the inside I cut a large oval out of the centre so I could add a dangly bear on each side using invisable thread and added a pink bow just above the ovals.

I hope you can see the dangling bears ok, you might need to enlarge the photo.

I cut the pretty border on the front with a Dizzy Border die from Die-namics and added to the front of each card tucking over the excess onto the back before sticking both cards onto a piece of pink 5.5 x 11 inch card.

I then made a card slightly smaller to go in the centre so your message is hidden when the card is first opened, and decorated it the same as the main card. I cut the images out with circle nesties and matted onto scalloped circles before sticking to the central card and the front of the 2 cards that were joined together, adding a bow just above the image.

I have also added some pretty pink corners cut using a Cheery Lynn corner die on the very front of the card.
