Teddy Christmas....

Next post today is this little creation I made following Dena's tutorial on Facebook on the Lili of the Valley Virtual Christmas party page.  I did get lost a bit however when I saw Dena's finished card i knew where I was going and finished the card today.

I have used papers from Carta Bella - winter Fun, edged with lace, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics and glittered a bit, I punched some snowflakes and glittered them up and I cut out the tree and glittered that up too.  I added pearls to the centres of the snowflakes to finish off.

This is what the inside looks like although it's not a brill photo but can get the gist of it and you can get full instructions from Dena here.

ooh...snowflakes galore!!

Good morning Sunday bloggers....yes I know it's early for me however I have lots to do today so better crack on.

I pottered away with this last nigh and I hear you say...oh no not that stamp again but I love it and there will be more...lol...not sure if it's just too much but I have seen lots of beautiful cards using the TH snow flurries die so  thought I would try it.

I have used papers from Echo Park - Winter Park, the snowflakes are TH snowflurries and MS snowflake punch.  The trees are cut from my new Distinctively Dee's snow covered trees...this comes in layers so you can make them which ever size you want really....I covered the snowflakes and trees with silver stickles and I added some pearls made with ice white pearl pen to the centres of the snowflakes. The image is Festive Friends from Sugar Nellie which I have coloured with copics....added some glamour dust to the furry bits of Santa and finally the message is from LOTV.

Friends Forever...

Howdy folks and another sunny but cold day here in Scotland. I thought I would get a wee bit crafting done today before I go back to work tomorrow...oh and I need to do the usual chores!!
I actually bought this stamp a few weeks ago but only inked it up last night. The stamp is from Stampavie - Fishing Fun which I coloured with copics, I also cut the image out to give it a 3D effect. The papers are a mix from various MME collections. The cloud is a MFT die-namic and the sun is a daisy die but I snipped the ends off. I added some twine and buttons to finish.

How Charming at Paper Sundaes

Godd afternoon all you Sundae bloggers and my second scheduled post today. Here we are with another challenge over at Paper Sundaes. The cghallenge this week is "how charming"....which means use a charm on your project.

This week we are sponsored by Wags 'n' Whiskers.

The lovely Lacey is giving one lucky winner a $20 gift certificate to spend in her online store.


For my card I have used "Snuzzle Love" from Wags 'n' Whiskers...isn't she so cute?? I have coloured her with copics aswell. TYhe papers ate a mixture of MME Fine & Dandy - Tickled Pink and Quite Contrary. Now I did have a cherry charm but had a bit of a mishap with the pliers and the charm...so I have added a Making Memories charmed word. I ruffled some ribbon to layer underneath the green strip and also added a bow. I really fancied joining the Colour Create challenge and you have to choose 3 fruits from the photo provided so the I have chosen...cherry red, watermelon and golden delicious apple green...those are more yellow/green than a dark green and the paper has cherries too. I have entered the challenges below.

Colour Create - 3 fruits
