Valentines Day is fast approaching and if you are looking for cute images for your cards you shouldn't look any further than Digital Delights!

I went with Baking Bear on DVD III and I just love how it turned out.
Card Recipe:
Image - Baking Bear on DVD III
Sentiment - Baked with Love
Paper - Bo Bunny Love Letters
Medium - Copic Markers
Liquid Pearls - Ranger in Petal Pink
Heart Doily - Wilton
Ribbon, Felt Hearts and Heart Brad - Hobby Lobby
I added some (well lots) of Liquid Pearls around the image, there is no such thing as too much glitz on a Valentines Day card is there? :)
Plenty of hearts too, from the paper, the felt hearts, the ribbon, the doily and the brad, it sure will show someone how much you care.
I hope you liked this and be sure to get creating, you only have 2 weeks to get those Valentines completed and ready to give to that special person in your life.

This week we are sponsored by A Day for Daisies and our challenge is "Wood".

I found some gorgeous wooden butterflies in my stash and the whole card is designed around them.

Another week has gone by and it's time for another card featuring the wonderful images from Digital Delights!
I decided to move onto Valentines as it is less than a month away and it will be here before we know it.
This cute little bunny was so much fun to work with and instead of the regular fur colors I thought he'd look great in Aqua :)
It is so long since I crafted, especially something without a deadline, that when I sat down to this my Mojo took a walk!
But after stepping away for a while, trying a few different things, not rushing myself, it did eventually come together.
This card was inspired by the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room and also I needed to get this little cutie inked up and the two just worked well together.
This gorgeous Prima Ballerina Tilda from The Little Moscow Collection has been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks and so she is the "Something New" on this card and I'm so glad she has finally made her way onto a card.
Card Recipe:

Liquid Pearls - Ranger
After finishing the card I decided it needed a little extra sparkle and so I added Liquid Pearls to the image and a little homemade spritz to the flowers.
I inked the edges a little to add to the Shabby Chic feel and now it was all done I feel pretty pleased with the results and I hope you do too :)

It's the start of a new year of challenges at The Paper Nest Dolls and we are starting with a favorite....Anything Goes!
There have been changes in the way the stamps are sold, no longer will the same image be available in more than one format and I got to be on the digital team which is perfect for me as I am a digi addict, love how quick and easy they are to use and my fingers don't get messy with the ink!
So for this first challenge I decided to go with the adorable Lil Miss Hollywood and I hope you like her as much as I do.
