Hi lovely blogging friends....

Happy Sunday!

Just here sharing my DT card for Whimsie Doodles - this ballerina has been sitting on my desk for a little while waiting patiently to be coloured.... so it was her turn today.  I think she turned out vaguely oriental with that black hair...  don't you think?  And as all little ballerinas would like to be stars....  I gave her a starry background.

Sooooooooo Cute!

 

Hi Blogging Friends...

Today it's the turn of In The Pink - we have a new challenge starting and the theme is 

SO CUTE

Now - when I DON'T want my cards to be cute.... (when I think they're possibly a bit arty.... ok - I know it's not often!)  I get lots of lovely comments saying 'how cute' etc...  Sooooo you'd think it'd have been easy for me to find what I thought was a 'cute' image or stamp in my mahoosive stash.... NOT SO!  

But I did look though my collection (ok - more of a library!) of LOTV stamps and came up with this one that I knew fit the 'cute' bill completely!  And I decided to go less CAS and more shabby chic...  I kinda managed it I think as I ended up quite pleased with how it turned out...

Materials:

Image - LOTV Baby Girl

Papers - Maja Design

Dies - Spellbinders Square, Spellbinders Captivating Squares, 
Tim Holtz Alphabet

Colouring - Copics

Skin - E000/00/11/70, R20

NO HAIR - YES!!!

Pinks - Rv91/93/95

Socks and Pram Wheels C0/1

Teddies E30, W1/2

Shading W0/1/3/5

Uni Posca Pen for White Dots

Stickles Icicles (round the distressed edge and on pram hood - difficult to see)

Lace

If you'd like to enter our SO CUTE challenge - pop over to In The Pink HERE.  You could win a fab $10 from Paper Nest Dolls if your entry is chosen as a Perfect Pinkie and then randomly picked!  Hope to see you there...

We're off out today to meet up with a lovely friend who I've known since our children were young...  I can't wait to have a good natter and a catch up - though I think I'll have to take some throat sweets with me to keep the voice-box well lubricated.... this cold has left me a bit husky!

Big hugs....

Easter Funnies (Part 1!)

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends

I'm here today to share one of my DT cards for CC Designs.....  isn't this guy THE cutest little bunny you ever did see??

To start with, I coloured him light brown and gave him/her pink shorts...  hmmmm...  I had to have a rethink as IT looked far too feminine!  So that bunny sits on my desk looking sorry for itself... while this new grey/white bunny has taken it's place on the tag!  I don't know why we automatically think bunnies like this are male... I'm sure there are just as many female bunnies, but maybe they don't get into mischief like the boys - as this one certainly has a mischievous gleam in his eye!

Materials:

Image and Sentiment - CC Designs Roberto's Rascals Easter Funnies

Dies: CC Designs Scalloped Circles, CC Designs Circle,

With Love....

Morning Lovely Blogging Friends....

Today I have to hang my head in shame, as my card is so very CAS - not a colouring pen in sight......  and it's all because I didn't organise myself properly and get ahead when I should have.  Hmmmmmmmmf - when have I EVER been organised?? LOL!  I'm a proper last-minute-Lizzy!

My card is my DT card for In The Pink - our new challenge theme is 'WITH LOVE' - and as this wonderful die has been sitting patiently waiting to be used, I decided it's turn had come!  Now, with it being such a fancy flourish, there isn't really a lot I could add - and certainly not a sentiment - so it is how it is and the 'with love' sentiment is inside.  I did do a little broderie anglais type border using a die - and threaded some ribbon through that..  and believe me, by the time I'd used my pokey tool to get all those little holes clear, I could have coloured an image!!

Materials used:

Impression Obsession Heart Flourish Die

Memory Box Border Die

Gems and Ribbon from Stash

Hope you like what I did and that you'll join us over at In The Pink for a play!  You could win a fabulous gift voucher from our generous sponsor this time - Little Miss Muffet Stamps - who have a fabulous range of both stamps and digis (including a wonderful new release today!) - take a look by clicking on the logo below...

Hello Chicky...

 

Hi all....

Hope you're all in one piece after the gale force winds yesterday...  that wind nearly blew me off my feet..... and believe me, that takes some doing! LOL!

Now, it's that exciting time again - it's preview time for CC Designs for their February release........  and oh my goodness.... such cuties all ready for spring!

I chose to use Chicky Henry...  isn't he just adorable?  Although I'm still getting colour problems with my camera...  the chick outfit in real life is less bright than is shown in the photo..  methinks a new camera may be called for soon...  And I've tried to give a feather impression too - hope you like.

Morning Lovely Friends...

Hope you're all well.... and here in the UK, that you're prepared for our next storm due today...  this time it's Henry!  We seem to be getting through the alphabet pretty quickly at the moment..  I really hope it doesn't cause much damage this time and that you all stay safe and not too wet!

Today my DT card is for Little Miss Muffet Stamps - in fact it's my last card for them as I'm standing down this week as my term has come to an end.  Even though I do like moving on, I've very much enjoyed being part of a lovely team and being allowed to play with all the superb images!  An today's is no exception - this one is from a new release of Valentines' images that are fantastic!
