This little cutie is called Valentine Cupcakes.... she's truly gorgeous to colour - and I tried a little colour blending on her pigtails!  Of course, I'm back to my lovely pinks too - well she suits them so much!

MAGICAL WORLD

 

Hi Lovely Bloggers....

Happy New Year!!!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and celebrated the New Year in style...  here's to a happy, crafty 2017!  

Sorry I've not been around in blogland since before the holidays - I decided to be brave and step away from my computer...  it took a bit of doing because I always want to see who's made what...  but I managed to stay away!  I think sometimes we do need that bit of time having a break from the usual - then we don't get tired and look at things afresh!

Now...  onto my card today.  It's new challenge time on the All Dressed Up Facebook page...  and our theme this time is..

MAGICAL WORLD

Well.... my magical world is filled with fairies and glitter - so that's what I decided on!  I also wanted to go as far from Christmas images as I could - but still managed to use lots of red and green.  I chose the paper before I coloured the image.... getting good, aren't I?? hehe!  It's usually the opposite way around!

I stamped around the edge of the arch with a tiny stamp which gives the impression of a climber plant with flowers..  kinda like you're looking through a window at this magical woodland... yes???  Well it does in MY head! LOL!

Hope you'll pop over to our Facebook page HERE and check out what the other lovely DT ladies have come up with, before you join in this fab challenge!

Big hugs

Happy Christmas To You All!!!

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Buddies.....

I'm sharing what I hope will be my last Christmas card of the year...  barring anything last minute, I think I've got all my Christmas card making done!

I've used one of my favourite Tiddlyinks images for this one - he's called 'Something Warm' - I think you can see why!  His layer does look a bit crooked though... it's not IRL... I think it's one of those 'camera playing tricks' times!

The Nice List!!

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Pals...

Well...... it's getting close!!!  In fact I've mailed or hand delivered most of my Christmas cards.... I hate to say I'm organised because I know pride comes before a fall...  but hey.... it's looking good!

I'm here to share another fun card today, made for my eldest daughter - and she received it last night so it's safe to blog.  She was delighted with it as her favourite colour is turquoise - and she loved the sky on something I did a little while back... so this one was custom made for her - and she's definitely on the 'nice list'!

Big hugs to all...

Hi Lovely Blogging Peeps....

I'm here to share a 'just for fun' card I made in around 15 mins last night..  I had been inspired by the lovely Annette who makes such fabulous CAS cards..  and I wanted to give this style a go!
