Breakfast Time!

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Pals...

Glad to see you here!

I can't believe how fast the months are going just lately - it's time again for another wonderful new release from CC Designs - and I loved this little cutie so couldn't wait to colour her up.

Reindeer Games...

Hi Lovely Blogging Pals...

I have a 'just for fun' card to share with you today...  I coloured some little reindeer from Mama Elephant a week or so ago - then got some fabulous inspiration from a lovely crafty friend - Sue - who had used this image on some fabulous tags.  So thanks Sue...   I turned mine into a little 4" x 4" card - hope you like!

I was hoping that it would resemble a Christmas bauble...  and if you squint your eyes together a bit, I think it does!! hehe!  

(And not a touch of pink anywhere!)

Happy weekend all...

Snow Couple

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

Today I'm here with another of the fabulous images from the November release at CC Designs...  This is called Snow Couple for obvious reasons!

I tried to shade it to give the impression of the snow - it's helped by the shading outside of the image too.

Hi Lovely Blogging Pals...

Can you ever have enough PINK????  My answer to that question would be NEVER!  And because of that, I've used one of the fabulous November release images from All Dressed Up - and coloured with my favourite pink colour combo for all three outfits... it's a bit like the Pink Ladies having a night out!

We've not long got home from a cinema trip - we went to the new Everyman Cinema in Harrogate to see Arrival with Amy Adams.  It's the first time we've been to that cinema and really enjoyed the experience...  such friendly staff and then there's a bar so you can take drinks into the film...  and there's two seater sofas and cushions for extra comfort!!  We'll definitely be going again!  As for the film....  I enjoyed it - but it left me slightly confused!!  If anyone has seen it and understands the ending - please let me know!

Big hugs

A robin's song is soo sweet......

 

Hi Peeps...

Happy Monday!

Today I have a card to share using one of the sweet Roberto's Rascals Snowies images from CC Designs...  this little guy is just SO cute listening to that robin sing!  Their song is one of the sweetest songs we hear in the garden..  up their with the blackbirds and the thrushes.

There are four images in this fab set - I know I'll be using more very soon as they are all so gorgeous!  I gave this little guy extra red cheeks as he's out in the cold.... brrrrr!!

Santa is STUCK!

Hey Lovely Blogging Buddies....

I'm back yet again!!  This time I have a lovely little Santa to share with you!  But he's in a bit of a difficult situation to say the least...  he's got himself stuck!!  I hope no-one lights a fire in the hearth - or he'll jump out fast!!

I tried another snowy sky - this time I used Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, with a little Scattered Straw around the chimney.  Again, I tried the splatter technique with my white paint - but I'm still not happy with the result.... one day I'll get it right!  He looks like he's in a bit of a blizzard this time!  I've tried to make the glittery base of the card look like a roof full of snow so the chimney is sticking up from it...  not sure that's succeeded either!  But it's all sparkly and that makes me happy....

Back to my reds...

Hi Peeps...

Well as the title says, it's back to using my reds today..  for this gorgeous little Wryn from Tiddlyinks!  

As I'm taking part in the 30 day colouring challenge run by the lovely Kathy Racoosin..  I'm getting lots of images coloured and am trying to keep up with putting them on cards!  Not as easy as it looks because I always find the designing the difficult bit!

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends....

I'm back in my pink zone today as it's time for another challenge at In The Pink... and this time our theme is 

WINTER

Now that could also mean anything that happens in Winter.... like Christmas..  or at least that's how I interpreted it!  I came up with these fabulous shoes...  wouldn't we all love to wear them?  I know I'd fall flat on my face if I tried though!

Good Morning Lovely Peeps....

How're you all doing??  I'm trying to keep up with The 30-day Colouring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin - I made this one yesterday for Day 7 and managed to get it on Instagram last night, but was too sleepy to put it on my blog......... sooooo here it is!!

I received this fabulous stamp from a lovely friend as a gift a little while back - and this is it's first outing...  I'm sure there'll be more as these chicks are tooooo cute!!

Santa!!!!!!!!

 

Hi Peeps...

Yes, I think it's true to say that I'm getting carried away with these little Santas....  colouring them makes me feel happy!!

Today I have made a tag - and I'm ever so carefully trying the splatter technique for the snowy background...  but I'm not wonderful at it yet, I think I'm being TOO careful!  Ah well... I'm trying!  I blended a little Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks for the background and used a little bit of glitter card for the hill.

Hi Lovely Peeps...
