So Long Whimsie Doodles.....

Hi Lovely Blogging Peeps....

Today I'm a little sad, as I have decided it's time for me to step down from the Whimsie Doodles Design Team...  

I've enjoyed being part of the team and using the fabulous images for a couple of years now - but it's about time I started to be able to use all the other wonderful stamps and images that I buy and that just sit on my desk and wait........ and wait!  

I chose to use Spring Lizzie for my card - and yes... there's very little pink..... I don't know if I'm happy or not with this!  Her hat is sort of peachy - not quite the nice pink I love - so not counted!  And I used yellow!  That's a colour I generally save that to only use on chicks! LOL!

It's a bit warmer here today than the cold 4/5 deg C conditions we had yesterday...  My lovely OH and I walked to the end of our road where the Tour De Yorkshire was passing by......  they'd had rain and snow on their way - I have every respect for those cyclists!!

An amazing sight!

Big hugs to all and Happy Crafting...

For a Child/Baby.....

Hi Lovely Blogging Pals...

Another fortnight has (oh so quickly) gone by , and it's time again for another lovely challenge at In The Pink.

This time, our theme is: 

FOR A CHILD/BABY

and believe it or not, I did struggle to come up with an image out of all the stamps/digis that I have - that was most suitable for a child!  I think most of my collection are pretty childish anyways...  I just wanted to choose the most apt!  And this is what I came up with...

Materials Used:

Image - Make It Crafty Wishful Asha

Die - Lil' Inkers Stitched Squares

Paper - MFT Smitten Paper Pad

Colouring - Copics

Skin - E000/00/11/70, R20

Eyes B12/14

Dress - R81/83/85/89

Fluffball - W0/1

Dragronfly - BV000

Yes....... that hair scared me.......  but I just took it a little at a time and was really pleased with the result!  But it's one of those things though that you could keep on adding to....... and adding to........ LOL! x

Hope we'll see you over at In The Pink joining in the fun and checking out what the lovely Pink Ladies came up with - there is a fabulous $6 voucher from Little Miss Muffet Stamps for the randomly picked Perfect Pinkie!

Big hugs

Edna Blows a Kiss...

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

I can't believe how fast these fortnights are going - here we are again so quickly with another challenge at In The Pink!  Today's theme is

PEARLS

so it's another nice easy one.... yes?

I decided to use one of the lovely Stamping Bella rubber stamps that have been waiting for my attention.....  meet Edna!  She's special to me, as that was my Mum's name - and I still miss my Mum even though she passed away in 1989.  So, I wanted Edna to look like she was perching on a ledge, blowing her kisses off to the clouds...  I think I managed it...

I fussy cut around Edna - and around the clouds that come in the set also - I do like my fussy cutting - it's a bit of an addiction!  Her hair was a something of a challenge... but I'm happy how it turned out!

Materials used:

Paper - Digi from Etsy

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

OK.......  I have to say, first off, that I'm not going to be held responsible if you just 'have to have' this little girlie and her friend.........  she is truly irresistible and comes with another little girlie and her cupcake!  So... don't blame me if you 'have to have' a little spend - it's not my fault!   She's from the fabulous April release at CC Designs.......  and to be quite honest, you'll be spoiled for choice if you go take a look-see at the whole release... here...
