Aifactory Freebie

I ussually check out the AiFactory site each day just to see whats new over there.  I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see this set of free digital papers on the site!  I am slowly increasing my collections of papers and I really like how vibrant these ones look.  I especially like the leaf pattern!    Anyway pop over to the Vault , CLICK here for the direct link to the free papers.  Also dont forget that Aifactory is offering a freebie digital image offer once they hit 50 followers over at SNR Card Universe, I just checked and its up to 41 members.  Nearly there!

My Nestabilities solution!

For some time now I have been having 'issues" with how to store my nestabilities.  I started with the original packaging, then someone said magnets in cd cases..tried that and got sick of not being able to see into the CD cases without opening them (i could of made labels for them.. but only just thought of that right about now!)  I then decided on a4 folders that I was using for my stamps.. that was a pain also.  So today I thought OK... think Penny.  I went and got a clear case from the newsagency and used clear A4 transperancies and strong double sided tape (3D brand) and off I went.  This is what I have come up with.. there is a bonus of using this system and that is, everything is in the one case (easy transport) but also if the tape fails and nests fall.. the case is sealed.  I wont lose anything.  How do others store their nests?

Aifactory Challenge 26 - blue, ribbon and bling

How lucky are we over at the Aifactory, we were given the most beautiful image to play with this week and then we were asked to use blue ( alot of a little) ribbon and bling.
The image is available at the vault, "She is like the wind!"

Whats not to like about this week's challenge, a few of my favourite things ..blue, ribbon and bling... this equals fun!

We would love to see as many creations as possible, you dont have to use an AiFactory image but we would like to see as many as possible used.  You can find Aifactory freebies to play with over at the Vault.
When uploading your creations to SNR The Card Universe, Aifactory or Papercraft planet  please tag them with AIF026.


For my project this week I dug into my stash of
 kaiser paper and found this lovely design.  I then used my newly aquired SU sentiment (thanks Deby), my heart punch with some white stitching added with a gel marker and my nestabilities for the tag.  I felt the image needed to be highlighted a little more so I made some photo corners and added some more flowers and bling...

So who is going to play along this week?  Its always a fun challenge over at the AIFactory challenge blog, and its a bright part of the day if you get picked as the weeks winner, you could even win a prize!   With all those positives ... you just have to play along!

Come Dazzle us with your bling... im off to grab my sunglasses!

I used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious (that ended Wednesday night)  and The secret crafter, saturday challenge wants stiching.. faux or real!.

Finally a little bit of ME time to craft!

Designed to Delight has their freebie up on site, all people participating get next weeks image via email!
Creative card crew is celebrating their one year anniversary this week.. and would like to see any sort of celebration themed card.  While over at Cupcake Craft Challenges they want circles, i have used lots of embossed circles and the sketch has circles too..and Cooking it up with Katie wants some decoupage and a challenge from your favourite blog.  Delightful sketches provided the inspiration with the sketch.  Bee Crafty would like embossing and a digi image.

Crazy 4 Challenges would like 3 different texture mediums (ive used three embossing folders),
Dareu2digistamp would like Pearls, I must admit I was happy about this as I really don't use them often.  Inky Impressions want us to think green.. I am sure i could of added more... but there is still plenty to be found!

I believe that may be it for this little card, I am not sure who is going to get this card.. I don't really send Easter cards to people.. perhaps my children can leave it out for the Easter bunny this year!
