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!!

Sugar Bowl Challenge #72

Good morning sugar addicts......brrrr isn't it baltic?? So nothing better than an icy challenge over at The Sugar Bowl this week. All you need to do is follow Gayle's sketch below using a Sugar Nellie stamp, which you can buy from Funky Kits.

Of course as always the optional theme is "ice and snow" and for one lucky winner chosen at random...4 Sugar Nellie stamps but if we get more than 100 entries that prize goes up to 6 Sugar Nellie stamps...so what are you waiting for...pop over to The Sugar Bowl and check out the inspiration from the rest of the sweeties!

For my card I have used papers from MME - 12 Days of Christmas, the stamp is of course from Sugar Nellie which you can buy here from Funky Kits. I coloured these little cuties with copics, punched a couple of snowflakes, added glitter and added a message...oh and I flipped the sketch around.

Before I go...remember the Simply Sassy blog Hop on Saturday at 8am....you don't want to miss it!!

It's Bella...

Happy Friday....it's almost the weekend but I am working!! I haven't really done much blogging or crafting this week. We got bad news on Tuesday that my auntie who lives in Italy died. Some of the family are flying over but my dad can't go due to his health problems, he can't fly so it's kind of hit him a bit hard I think because he can't go and because he is 15 years older that my auntie...a bit of a nightmare waiting on information coming from Italy. Anyway ....I felt like a bit of crafting this afternoon and I thought since it is baltic outside, what better than a card with that frosty feel so here we have Snowboardabella, I think that's her name!! I have used Fancy pants - wintertime papers and I have coloured Bella with copics.

Be Happy....

Good morning Sunday bloggers and a wee scheduled post before work this morning. I hope you were all safe last night with the fireworks. our poor pooch was petrified and was hiding in my little craft room away from it all.

Don't you just love Pippi Longsocks...she is one of my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps. I coloured her with copics. The papers are from MME - Blush collection. I did lots of stitching on this card, added some TH ribbon and flowers and a cute little charm although it's kinda hard to see it but you can.
