Hark the herald angels sing...

Well in between the housework I have been playing too.  I coloured this image last night and finished it off this morning.

I followed the sketch below.

The papers are from Echo Park - Winter Wishes, the snowflakes are from Martha Stewart although I punched them myself and glittered them up.  The ribbon and charm was in my stash forever.  The stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics and shaded with polychromos....and I added some doodling around the edges.

There is also some awesome candy on offer on Nicole's blog...here.

When you Wish upon a Star....

...makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires, will come to you....yes we all know that song very well..don't we??

Since I tidied my my wee craft room last night, I came across some rubber that needed a bit of love and re-inking ( I don't want to talk about the ones that have gone walkabout) so here we have "Wish upon a Star" from Sugar Nellie. I coloured this little cutie with copics, the papers are from Bo Bunny(not sure of the name, it says back to basics on the thingy but not sure that is the correct name of this collection). I added some snowflakes punched with my MS snowflake punches...then added lots of glitter and pearls....hope you likey!!

A blossom for you....

Happy Bank Holiday weekend....not that we get this Bank holiday here in Scotland..or do we?? Perhaps it's just at work we don't get it.

Well I received some goodies yesterday from Bunny Zoe so I had a wee play and came up with this one. The stamp is Belles & Whistles - A Blossom Fo You which I have coloured with copics, the papers are from MME - On the sunny side...they are so yummy I think I might need to order more just to look at!! The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the little buttons and flowers have been cut with MFT dies...love those buttons!

Papertake Weekly GDT card..

Good morning bloggers and another scheduled post, now I'm not sure which one will be first as they are both scheduled for the same time. I was delighted when I got an email from Dawny asking if I would like to be Guest Designer over at Papertake Weekly for the month of December...I was so chuffed as I do try to take part in their challenges most weeks when I can. so the challenge this week over at Papertake Weekly is "anything christmas" with the optional extra of something dangly, which I completely forgot about...so a good start!!

Their sponsor is Lili of the Valley....so you don't want to miss this!!

For my card I have used Fishing buddies from LOTV which I coloured with copics, the papers were in my stash and I really can't remember where they are from. I added a punched snowflake(cos i love snowflakes) and some matching ribbon...it isn't actually as dark IRL. I finished off glittering it all up...hope you like.

Sugar Bowl Challenge #72

Good morning sugar addicts......brrrr isn't it baltic?? So nothing better than an icy challenge over at The Sugar Bowl this week. All you need to do is follow Gayle's sketch below using a Sugar Nellie stamp, which you can buy from Funky Kits.

Of course as always the optional theme is "ice and snow" and for one lucky winner chosen at random...4 Sugar Nellie stamps but if we get more than 100 entries that prize goes up to 6 Sugar Nellie stamps...so what are you waiting for...pop over to The Sugar Bowl and check out the inspiration from the rest of the sweeties!

For my card I have used papers from MME - 12 Days of Christmas, the stamp is of course from Sugar Nellie which you can buy here from Funky Kits. I coloured these little cuties with copics, punched a couple of snowflakes, added glitter and added a message...oh and I flipped the sketch around.

Before I go...remember the Simply Sassy blog Hop on Saturday at 8am....you don't want to miss it!!
