James...

Good morning campers and my scheduled post...I almost forgot about it though!!

So today's challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin is "winter animals"....another easy peasy one so I had to have James...how adorable is he??

So I have went for the quite CAS look for this one as I wanted to use my new dies from die-namics...the snowflake doily and the pierced circle...a perfect combination don't you think??  so I have used James from LOTV and coloured him with copics.  I only inked up the top section so he would fit in the circle, I also stamped an extra scarf and stuck it on top so that it hung below the circle...finished with lots of glitter!!

Lots of Layers...

Good morning folks....oh my what is this weather like...it's so baltic!!  Anyway I am a bit late this morning and that is because somebody had been mucking around with the settings on my camera and I couldn't get it fixed...the photos were all blurry but hey ho now it's fixed....wonder who was tampering...I can give you 2 guesses!!

So the challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week is "lots of layers"...I so love lots of layers...gives you the chance to show all those fabby papers!!

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous My Mum's Craft Shop...

...who will be giving one lucky winner a £10 voucher to their store.

We also have our monthly sponsor The Ribbon Girl...

...who is also giving a £10 voucher to one winner.

So for my card I have used papers from MME - Lost and Found Two which I layered onto kraft card, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with promarkers, I bought this stamp at the SECC as I had ordered a sunflower die online and thought they would both be a perfect match however 3 and a half weeks later still no die...I am having problems with the online company which I won't order from ever again...best to stick to the ones you know...so since there was no die I added a few little flowers.

Warm Winter Wishes

Another post from me today but not scheduled...I coloured this little cutie the other night so thought I would quickly make it into a card. The stamp is Warm Winter Wishes from Sugar Nellie which is unfortunately out of stock at the moment however it is available in digi format here.

The papers are Echo Park - Winter Park, which I layered up and doodled around the edges of each layer, I like layers!! I coloured the stamp with promarkers. punched a snowflake and added a message and ribbon...then glittered the whole thing up...you can never have too much glitter!! Hope you like.

There's a Halloween thing going on...

Good morning Saturday bloggers and my scheduled post...back at work!! Today's challenge over at Sweet Stampin' is "Halloween".

Our sponsor this week is the fabby Bugaboo and are giving 7 digs to one lucky winner.

For my card I have used Stella Calendar month - October from Bugaboo and I coloured her with copics. The papers are from MME - Mischievous collection and are perfect for those Halloween projects. I cut the pumkins with a sizzix die however I had to cut the them down to size as they were just too big for the card...

The Sugar Bowl Challenge #67

Good morning sugar fans and welcome to another challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. I hope you have all been tempted with the new sugar that went on sale last week over at Funky Kits.


This weeks challenge is Erika's fabulous sketch below and the option of using your scraps.



....of course the prize is 4 Sugar Nellie stamps but wait for it.....over 100 entries and that goes up to 6 stamps...woo hoo!!


For my card I have used Gorjuss Bumble Bee from Sugar Nellie, which you can buy here from Funky Kits, and I coloured with copics. I have also used a scrap of DP which I think is from Doodlebug. The ribbon was a scrap which I had left over and was extremely difficult to make into a bow, first because it was so small and secondly because of my big sausage fingers!! I also added a couple of heart pins I had in my stash. I finished with some doodled lines too...hope you likey!!
