"It's a BIT PINK...."

 

Hi Peeps.....

"It's a BIT pink........ " were the first words out of my lovely man's mouth when I showed him this card..... hmmmm I wonder what he expected?  He knows me well enough!!  And yes, OK, I probably do need to get away from my fav colour for a little while...  (maybe one or two cards)...  just so I can come back to it with fresh enjoyment!

Anyways.....  this little lady is from Whimsie Doodles - she's my DT Inspiration Card for this month.....  isn't she lovely???  And I was delighted to find that heart shape in my scrap box (from when I did a shaker card the other day), so I put it to good use!

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Today it's my turn again for a DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps..  and I chose to use Jr Hatter Starlight.  And..... (and here's the BIG 'AND').... - I thought I'd give my Copic Airbrush another go!  I think the jury is still out on whether I'm any good with it or not... LOL!  I'm relatively happy - but I don't ever seem to get it without being patchy!   However, the photograph again isn't showing the true colours I've used...  it IS less patchy in real life than you see here.  And I'm happy with it.... so that's OK! LOL

ANYWAYS....  It's here now.  And I have to admit to my love and adoration of these fabulous little guys from Roberts's Rascals!  They are a real joy to colour... like colouring the snuggliest of cute little babies...  and you get THREE!! OK, I'm rattling on now...

Hi Lovely Friends.......

It's Happy New Year time over at In The Pink today...... and our first challenge of the year is an easy one.... it's ANYTHING GOES!

And because I've been so miserable lately, and to brighten our lives, I've used a lovely summery lady that I've been wanting to get at for a while!  Trouble was, that dang thing starting with a C took over my life until the end of last month and I couldn't get around to doing any proper pink stuff...  but I'm back firmly in my comfy zone now!

CC Designs Preview Time!

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends.....

Firstly, I'd love to wish you all a very happy new year - may 2016 bring you all the things you wish for.  

And secondly - my apologies to all for not being around for the last couple of weeks - I've had one or two health problems that I won't bore you with - but they've left me with little impetus to actually get on with my crafting - so I've not been doing my commenting, and this is the first card I've made in a while!

 

But I couldn't miss the first preview day of the brand new release from CC Designs.... this is Marieta - she's very cute with her little love note in her hand...
