Scrap the Girls October challenge

http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/october-challenge.html
The challenge this month at Scrap the Girls is a photo inspiration

I have used the colours and the butterflies as my inspiration

It was my youngest grand daughter Brianna's first ballet exam with her class.  Her friend Natalia is one day older than Brianna.  Natalia is tiny and Brianna is big for her age.

I have used paper and elements from Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

I have a bad headache today so have taken a couple hours to make this.   I have headaches most day due to the Fibromyalgia but it is worse today as they have been jack hammering all day down the street where they pulled a house down and are now digging down.  They have had a noisy digger going every morning from 7 am and the jack hammer started yesterday.  Crafting helps me take my mind off the pain.

I have layered the new Scrapper's Delight silhouette digi stamp Beauty in all Things onto paper from Mother Nature set
I have lightened the paper so you can read the sentiment.
I missed out getting the silhouette stamp for free on the facebook group but I loved it and it is on special at the moment.  There are a lot of specials in the Scrapper's Delight store at the moment.

World Card Making Day - Pick your pal - Tic Tac Toe

http://www.deedeesdigis.com/2015/10/pick-your-pal-world-card-making-day.html
After posting my card for line 3 yesterday I realised that I had used a digi stamp that Deedee gives away free on her shop
 http://shop.deedeesdigis.com/store/p189/Think_Pink.html

So I have made another card this time using another Deedee digi which is for sale on her shop.
I have followed line 2 and line 3 for this card.

Line 2 use ribbon, twine, hand colour image and send to someone for encouragement. (am going to send to a bear lover friend in the USA)
Line 3 use a non freebie image, use a button and a scripture verse.

I have used Deedee digi from Spring Blessings set, coloured with markers. Layered onto paper from same set and then layered onto pink card I embossed with buttons embossing folder.  Added sentiments from same set,  ribbon, twine and button.  Added punched butterflies.

You still have seven days to join in.
