My favourite....

Good morning folks....this will be short and sweet this morning as it's the Gala Day...woo hoo...so just getting ready. First I have to share Pippi with you...The challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week is "your favourite stamp". What a hard decision this was as I have many stamps that I really love and I have a bestest favourite which is a Christmas one but I didn't feel like making a Christmas card so I decided to use Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie...she is well up there in my top few!

I used papers from Papermania - Portobello Road and Making Memories, I stitched each of the layers and distressed the edges, the flowers and buttons are cut from MFT dies, I added a twine bows through the buttons, the flourish is cut from a do hickey die, the message is from LOTV and the stamp is Pippi from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics....went with the red, white and blue theme since it was the Jubilee next week.

Pop over to the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog...this week we are sponsored by Letraset, who are giving away a set of pens and we also have our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen who is giving a £10 voucher.

It's orange...

Good morning my fellow bloggers....now the storms have calmed down, it's now white outside!! I will be glad when this winter is over, perhaps that means we will have a good summer... Well I have been doodling away colouring with my new polychromos, and I think they do take a bit of practising. I haven't quite mastered the blending to get the same effect you get with copics or promarkers but I am not giving up as I really like them!

So, I have used Peek a Boo birthday from Sugar Nellie and coloured her with my new polychromos as I said, the papers are scraps that I have left from Echo Park - Country Drive, I must order more as I really like these papers. I also added some stitching and distressed the edges of the layers to cove up my wonky cutting...think I pulled that one off!!

Will be back shortly with Pippi!!

Thank You....

Well hi Bloggers and something a bit different from me...no characters!! As some of you know I hosted a SU party a couple of weeks ago and we did brilliantly and I managed to get quite a lot of hostess pounds...woo hoo!! This stamp is from one of the sets and I have to say I am so chuffed with it especially as it's not my normal kind of stamp but i am loving this little set, it's called Faith in Nature. I coloured the image with DI's and then edged the edged the card with DI too, then I ran it through the Bigshot in a dotty embossing folder, then scuffed some of the raised dots just to lift off some of the ink. I then layered it onto the papers from Jillybean Soup - Apple Cheddar, added a couple of buttons and the message,which is from the same set....hope you like!!

Remember to pop back tomorrow for the birthday celebrations at Sweet Stampin' and the Simply Sassy blog hop...so looks like you are going to be busy tomorrow!!

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.
