Good morning folks...I am on a day off today as I worked last weekend and I am knacked as was also on a late shift yesterday however hopefully the rain will stay away long enough for me to get my washing hung out!!
So sugar fans we have another challenge over at the Sugar Bowl. This week's challenge is the fab sketch below...


...with the optional theme of "one for the boys"...easy peasy!!

As normal one lucky winner picked at random will receive 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits...

The Sugar Bowl Challenge #68

Good morning sugar fans and I hope you are all raring to go with our new challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. This fortnight's challenge is Kiki's sketch below....



....and of course the optional theme which is "autumn". As normal there is the fabby prize of 4 Sugar Nellie stamps but if we get over 100 entries then the prize will be 6 stamps...woo hoo!!

For my card I have used papers from Jillybean Soup - Apple Cheddar Soup collection...they are yummy!! The base layer is kraft card which I am loving at the minute and I have stitched each of the layers and also distressed each layer with my TH distressing tool. The stamp is called "Apple of my Eye" from Simply Sassy at Sugar Nellie which you can buy here from Funky Kits. I coloured this little Sassy with Distress Inks....I reckon this one took me about 4 hours in total to colour as I did it over a few days but I am well chuffed with this one. I added a couple of flowers that have been cut with my MFT flower trio die and then I added a button ans a little itsy silver apple charm!!

I have used MME - Fly a Kite papers collection. The stamp is one of my favourite boy stamps from LOTV and I coloured him with copics. I added a couple of clouds which were cut using a MFT die-namics cloud die and I made the sun with a sizzix daisy and chopped off the ends of the petals, I added a little sizzix star.

Paper Sundaes DT card

Welcome back my Sundae bloggers and my next scheduled post...The challenge this week over at Paper Sundaes is "magical and mythical worlds".

Our sponsor this week is Pink Cat Studio

This was a bit of a rush job card and wasn't what I had in mind but I think it still looks ok. The image is Mermaid Lily from Pink Cat Studio which I coloured with copics and then glittered her up for a bit of sparkle. The papers are from Imaginisce - Splash Dance which I think match perfectly with this image.

Don't forget you still have until 11th May to enter the DT Call.....check out the details here.

Little light...

Good morning my fellow bloggers on this lovely Sunny day...and did I tell you I am on holiday this week...woo hoo!! I will be making something to post every day this week..I have decided. As you know I love these Sassy stamps and I have been in two minds whether to apply for the Guest Design Call that they are having over at the Simply Sassy blog. I did apply way back at the beginning to be on the team and made the final 12 but was pipped at the post. They have had a couple of GDT calls but I didn't apply as I knew I didn't have the time then however this one is for 8 weeks and will starting in a couple of weeks time so I thought I would give it a go....I have lots of holidays from work in May and June and I will be making cards anyway so her goes...
I have used Simply Sassy - Little Light of Mine which has been coloured with copics and took me nearly 2 hours!! I added a touch of glitter to the candle and the little bunny. The papers are from MME - So Sophie collection. I stitched all the layers to give more texture and.... finally I can't have a card these days without one of those fab MFT die-namics flowers!! Hope you like it.
