A posse of Pippis'....

It's the last day of the year...yay the end of another one so I thought I would do something a wee bit different and share one of the best loved stamps from Sugar Nellie...PIPPI.

Now we all love Pippi...well I certainly hope you all do!!  Now Pippi has to be one of my favourites amongst others and I have made several cards using her, she is just so cute to colour including that little froggy friend of hers. So what I want you to do is make a new post with your Posse of Pippis for all to see.  Once you have done that come back and leave a link to your post in the comments box below and I will pull out a lucky Pippi for a wee surprise.

You have until 8th January (Elvis's birthday) to share your posse of Pippis!!

So here is my wee posse below!!

Happy New Year!!

Well how hard was this....eventually I have decided and hope you like which 5 I have chosen as my favourites.  You will see that I have not included any Pippi's....it was far too difficult cos I have made loads with Pippi and she would taken up all 5 spots...lol!!  I might do a separate Pippi posting in the next few days so watch this space.

Sweet 16....

Happy Sunday everybody....another miserable day here although it was snowing earlier but now it's raining!!

I made this card for Holly's friend who is 16 next week...hope she likes it!!

I have used a mixture of MME papers from different collections, I have used the MFT rolled royal rose die and again and cut out 2 die cuts and rolled them together to give a two tone effect, the swirly corner die is from Magnolia and the numbers have been cut by hand ...goodness knows what I have done with my numbers!! The stamp is from Sugar Nellie - Fabulous Darling which has been coloured with copics.  I added some pearls and some doodling to finish.

Not a Christmas card.....

Hey beautiful people on this very miserable day!!  At least I am off work for 2 days but back on Monday, so before I get on with the less important stuff like housework, I thought I would have a little play and here is what I've created.

The stamp is from LOTV which I have coloured with copics (new ones on order), the papers are from MME - lost and Found 3 - Oliver collection...yummy!!  The flowers have been cut using my die-namics rolled royal rose die but I did something a bit different...I layered 2 different coloured die cuts and rolled them together...it gives a two tone look and it does actually look quite good IRL!!  i added lots of glitter and pearls.

Now this has to be my favouritest stamp ever....from Sugar Nellie of course.  I have used a Distinctively Dee's tree die and that fab snow flurries die from TH....loads of glitter all over!!

Next is this little cutie....this stamp from Sugar Nellie  is just so pretty and I was so chuffed with my shading on this one....loads of glitter again!!

next is this one...now this isn't a Christmas stamp but it looks good in red and green!!

Oh it's my favourite stamp again and those papers too..Hot Chocolate from Fancy pants....yummy!!

Now for those of you who know me, you will know I like to doodle so I couldn't not show a card with doodling on it!!  I love this one...it really pops out I think!!

Well that's my 5 and I hope you like my choice and I will be back soon with some new cards.

Good evening folks....and a wee quickie tonight.  the photo is a bit rubbish but it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home which is a bit naff but never mind!!

The image is Latte from Saturated Canary which I coloured with copics, the papers and little embellishments are from Fancy Pants - Hot chocolate collection, i punched the snowflakes and glittered them up, I then added pearls to the centres.  The tag is from LOTV and the charm is from The Hobby House.

Santa Claus is coming to town....

It's snowing...yay!!

I wanted to try something a bit different, so instead of layering up my papers, I inked the edges with Distress Ink...not sure about it though....

So the papers are from MME - Winter Wonderland, the snowflakes are punched with a Martha Stewart punch and a TH snow flurries die which i glittered up and then added pearls to the centres.  The tags are from LOTV.  The stamp is from sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics.

Be sure to pop back tomorrow for a brand new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'.
