And then another comes along.... (like buses)

Hi Girls

And I'm back again with another card.... this time for The Sugar Bowl Challenge.  I decided this time to use a Leanne Ellis Design from Sugar Nellie.... she is called 'Poise'.... and she has that in bucketfuls!!

I coloured her with Copics and Promarkers, then I chose some gorgeous vintage papers to match her... and used some vintage seam binding also for the bow with some pearls to complete.  The word die is from Simon Says Stamp.

Why not enter this fabulous challenge..... the prize on offer is FOUR Sugar Nellie gorgeous pieces of rubber of your choice.....  and all you have to do is enter USING A SUGAR NELLIE IMAGE on your creation.  Simples!

Big hugs and Happy Crafting..

A little lacey...

Hi All

Hope you're all well and crafting happily...  think it's going to be a bit of a cold day today (perfect crafting weather huh?)... but I had a lovely day out with my OH yesterday... We went over to one of our favourite places for lunch... Skipton - they do the best fish and chips that I know of... , then of course, we just had to call at Sammy Taylors at Embsay..  just to check out if anything was new... (yeah of course, I hear you say), and there was, and..... etc...... etc.... !!  LOL!  Then we went off up to Grassington to have a cream tea... but unfortunately the shop had just closed... ah well, probably for the best!

Sooo today's card which is my DT card for the Totally Gorjuss Challenge...  the theme is Anything Goes + Lace.

I chose to use one of my Sugar Nellie digi images..  and had a fab time colouring her to match the lace I'd chosen.  And.....  then there's the bling!!!

Challenge:  Sugar Bowl - Anything Goes

It's nearly time for Santa!! Anything Goes Challenge - Traditional Christmas Colours

Hi All

Time is flying by and it's nearly time for the big man's visit!!  Our theme at Anything Goes this time is 'Traditional Christmas Colours'...  An easy one for me where Santa is concerned!

I used a gorgeous stamp that I've used before, from Sugar Nellie... called Old Saint Nick...  and he's such a pleasure to colour... although you do have to watch that the deep red colour doesn't run into what should be white - it has a habit of doing so!

I used a mix of Copics and Promarkers to colour him...  a lot of fab Glamour Dust on his hat and coat...  and a bit of shading creating his shadow.

The DP is by Scenic Route and is called Brighton Blizzard... (don't think it's made any more), and I've added some dotty grosgrain ribbon.  A PC generated sentiment (as it's for an order), finishes the card.

Don't forget to pop over to Anything Goes - to see my fab teamies gorgeous creations... and also to see if you were a winner on our last challenge.  Lots of lovely craft goodies can be purchased online at the Craft Den - why not pop over and take a look?!

Looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations for this challenge!

Big hugs and Happy Crafting..

A time for turquoise...

Morning all..

Here's another card just for the fun of it!!  I finished my dining room curtains last night and put them up, so felt in the need to go sit in my craft room for a little while... and here's the result!

Let me introduce Blossom Annie from Sugar Nellie (she looks like she likes to be introduced... she looks so proper!)...  and I decided turquoise may be her colour (copics of course)..   Well of course, with the addition of some pink flowers.... well, I couldn't NOT could I???

I used DP's from my favourite Lucy Cromwell Papermania pad at the moment... just cut into squares and put onto Bazzill...  I thought it would have a nice effect.  She has glitter on her skirt and flowers btw, and a touch of Cosmic Shimmer pink PVA in the centre of her flowers...  There's also a few punched flowers here and there, and a punched butterfly.  And lastly, a Memory Box Corner Bow flourish to finish her off!  Oooh and the sentiment is a Pebbles rub on...  oooh and a few pearl dots around the image too..

Sideways view...

Have a lovely day girls whatever you're up to...  it's a nice bright day here and my lovely OH is off today, so who knows what we'll get up to?  In the fresh air I mean!

Thank you all for your lovely comments lately...  and welcome to my new followers...  I look forward always to hearing from you.... it really makes me happy to know that people like what I make!

Big hugs to all
