Time for some doodling...

Good morning folks...well I am so glad I didn't leave the washing until today as it's pouring down, typical Scottish weather!!
I made this card last night so I thought I would share it with you all today.
I followed the Sketch on the MFT blog, the image is from Saturated Canary - Belle and Becki which I coloured with copics. The papers are MME - Be Amazing which I layered onto kraft and bazill card. I added my doodles around the edges, the flowers, clouds and panel I have all be cut with MFT dies, the tiny tags have been cut a SU jewellery tag punch and then finally some twine, ribbon and a button....hope you like!!

Butterfly Girl....

Good morning Sassy fans and welcome to one of my 2 scheduled posts today. I was delighted when Maria Therese asked me if I would like to take part in the final Simply Sassy spotlight of the year...so I would have been rude to say no!! I have used one of my favourite Sassy's, butterfly girl. As you know the lovely Elaine is so fabulous at colouring with DI's and SU inks and she has totally inspired and encouraged me to make the effort so here we are...a combination of SU inks and DI's.

Thank you Maria for allowing me to take part in your final Spotlight of the year. x

hey blogging fans...I am up late so thought I would quickly post this card before I head to bed and I didn't want to miss the Papertake deadline as I thought this was a fab sketch!! I might need to retake the photo in daylight but here it is for now. The papers are from MME - 12 Days of christmas, the stamp is from Sugar Nellie - Warm winter Wishes, which you can buy here from Funky Kits, the message is from LOTV. I coloured the image with pencils...not sure about them yet!! I added a ribbon bow, button and charm, also a piece of pom pom ribbony stuff. The snowflake is punched witha Martha Stewart snowflake punch and then I glittered it up and I also added some white glitter to the penguins hat.

Hello Little Friend

Another quickie before lunch...I coloured this little cutie the other night and now I have added it to a card. The stamp is called " Hello Little Friend" which is from Sugar Nellie. I coloured this one with DI's which did take me ages because of all those fine lines. The papers are from MME - Hattie collection. Oh and did you see...that's right I found my MFT rolled flower die...I hate to admit but I found it at the bottom of my pile of ironing, how on earth it got there I will never know!! i have entered the challenges bwlow.

Anything but a card....

Hi all...second scheduled post of the day....thought I would wait til lunch time so I can do the linky thing on my lunch break!! When I saw Faye's lovely work of art I thought..I am going to make one of those...I need one for my desk anyway!! So here we are...a little bit out of my comfort zone and it didn't quite go according to plan!! So I used an old tub, then I sanded it and rubbed it and primed it and rubbed it and painted it but then I thought I could add some tissue papers around the lip on the top but that's where it all went wrong!! Looking at it now though, I did manage to fix it up a bit and it's not as bad a sit was!! I covered the tub in MME - So Sophie papers, there is also a band all the way around with matching buttons on, maybe should have taken a photo from the side, oh well, I cut the felt flowers out using my MFT rolled daisy die...I think this die works perfectly on felt, I am not so keen on it with papers. I then added a bow and a couple of punched butterflies.....hope it's not too naff!!

If only me legs were...well you know...

Good Evening an almost good night but before that I just had to ink up one of my new stamps, so for quickness it has been copiced!! Oh i do wish I had long legs like this....but I'm afraid they are the opposite....lol!! anyway......
The stamp is of course City Girl from Simply Sassy at Sugar Nellie which I have coloured with cpoics. The papers are from Kaisercraft - Pink Gelato which are really soft and subtle. I inked the edges with DI's and added stitching, added some stickles to the image and of course I have used my favourite MFT flower die to punch out those flowers which have a little pearl in the centre....right off to switch off the slow cooker for tomorrow's dinner.

I have used "Pinky Pudding" from Tiddly Inks and coloured her with copics...these images are just fab to work with. The papers are MME - Colourful Christmas....I love thes papers, they are so bright and colourful and go with pretty much everything. I punched 3 snowflakes with Martha Stewart snowflake punches and finished with some gems and glitter...

Paper Sundaes DT card

Hi all and here we are all back to normal...other than the weather. I am back to normal and my scheduled post cos I am working today. The challenge this week over at Paper Sundaes is "circles".



Our sponsor this week is Lili of the Valley...so exciting. They are releasing the next batch of stamps on Tuesday but you can get a sneaky peek at them here. So one lucky winner will be jumping for joy.

For my card I have used "It's my Party" and message stamp both from LOTV....she is such a stroppy little minx but sooooo cute!! I have also coloured her with copics. I have used Crate Paper - Paper Doll Collection papers as they fitted well with our challenge this week....circles. I cut the flowers with one of my favourite dies...yes that's right the 3d flower die...I love this!! The image has been cut out and layered onto a die cut circle. I still don't have a scallop die yet so I manually cut the scallops using the Stampin Up slit punch...I am getting to be dab hand at that but one day I will buy a scallop die!! Oh yes and some glitter to finish off!!
