Good morning sugar fans....did I tell you I am on holiday from work for a week so might get the chance to do some extra cards.

It's the Procession on Saturday so there's lots of activities happening on the lead up...just need it to be a nice day!! Today we have a new challenge over at The Sugar Bowl and all you need to do is follow the sketch below...



the challenge this fortnight is the optional theme of "shades of violet" and one lucky winner picked at random will receive 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits..

...if there is more than 100 entries then the prize increases to 6 Sugar Nellie stamps.

for my card I have used papers that were in my stash, Utopia collection from Kaisercraft, the stamp has been coloured with copics and then glittered up to give her a bit of bling. The flowers have been with 3 different sized MFT royal roses. I finished with a Craftwork cards message.

peek- a - boo....

Thought I would post this quick card while I am waiting on Michael phoning to say what's happening...i could be up a while. He is heading home early from T in the park as the gigantic wig wam him and his friends took has been wrecked and their sleeping bags are soaked...they are not happy bunnys!! Now as most of you know T in the Park is not really near anywhere and no train station and the nearest one being in Perth and the first train is at 5am to Edinburgh...oh the worries, no wonder I have grey hair!!

So when I say a quick card, I started colouring last night but put it all together tonight!!

The stamp is new from Sugar Nellie and is called Peek a Boo...isn't she purty?? I have coloured her with DI's. The papers used is from Kaisercraft - Utopia and First Edition - Up, Up & Away which I have stitched around. I punched 3 circle out and cut a spiral and rolled them into flowers...I did have a die but it seems to have gone AWOL. I added little pearls to the centres and layered them onto a section of a flourish die cut. I added the message and a little glitter to the pressie and balloons...hope you likey!!

Sweet Stampin DT card..

Good morning sweet stampers and my Saturday morning scheduled post. The challenge this week at Sweet Stampin is "Something Unusual" now that means you have to use something on your creation that you wouldn't necessarily use for cardmaking/crafts.

Now I was a bit baffled and was raking the house trying to find something but then I got some inspiration from Jenny and hey presto.....a little bandage in place of ribbon and the flowers have been cut from absorbant lint....they were tricky little blighters!!

We are sponsored this week by Tiffany Doodles...

I have used Echo Paper - Country Drive papers...very yummy. The stamp is Flower Girl from Sugar Nellie and I have coloured her with Distress Inks. I cut the flowers with my MFT flower trio die and stuck a pearl in the centre and a message to finish.

I have entered the challenges below....
