May the Force be with You

 Morning and my first DT post today is for the May the Force be With You" challenge at 

Dragonfly Dreams chosen by Deanne.

Now I was completely thrown by this challenge as had nothing suitable and still no printer working-had a root through an oddments box and found this background and little images recycled from an old calendar so hope it works and added part of a sentiment from a craft mag freebie set from years ago-thought it was quite apt.

Cheers!

 Morning and my 3rd card today is for the Emerald/Pearl challenge at Birthstone Challenges.

The B.paper is from The Works sentiments from  a craft mag freebie set from years ago,and I found the die-cut image already coloured in an oddments box and was perfect so just had to add some glossy accents-I think the die-cut was from Gummiapan which I no longer have and as I lost all my digi images I can't remember where this one was from sorry-so if anyone can help?

EDIT-image from Sparkle and Sprinkle but sadly now closed!
