A Fairy Tail

Good morning it's freezing cold outside, our park still looks like something from the Swiss Alps and the local toy shop is doing a roaring trade in sledges!. Infact even our dog Bailey has taken a turn down the hill in the sledge and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. So if you dont feel like venturing out into the cold Diva's by Design have a new challenge starting today and our fantastic theme is Fairy Tales. Our  kind sponsor this time is Bunny Zoes Crafts.

My DT Card

I have used a Saturated Canary image coloured with Copics for my card called Fancy. Dont you thing that she looks every inch the Fairy Tale princess?
The papers are Prima Fairy Belle. I cut the circular card base and chandelier on my Cricut. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley  and the brass key is from Creative Expressions. All of the other bits and bobs are from my stash

Thanks for stopping by

SFTW DT Something Girlie

Good morning it's time for another challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend. Our theme this time is Something Girlie so plenty of opportunity to use lots of pretty embellishments. Our kind sponsor this time is Live and Love Craft.

I have used this gorgeous image by Mo Manning called Bye Bye Girl and coloured her with Copic's. The red polka dot paper is My Minds Eye and the black polka dot is DCWV. Well you have to use polka dots for a lady but don't your?

The frame has been punched using a Matha Stewart punch around the page set called Cherish. I managed to get this set on sale for £19.99. The small flower I make using the Tim Holtz Tattered florals die. The ribbon and lace I found at the bottom of my trimmings draw (who know what else could be lurking in there! I really must try and organise it one of these days.) 

To finish it all off I attached the cute metal lady bug (I have no idea where this came from but iseem to have several of these and some butterflys in my collection)

Thanks for Stopping By

Some exciting news!

Good morning everyone. I have some really exciting news that I have been bursting to tell you for the last few weeks but have had to hold on until now. The lovely ladies and gentlemen over at Sketch N Stash have kindly asked me to join their team and I simply had to say yes. I would like to say a big thank you to my new teamies for having me.

Enough gushing and onto the challenge.

Sketch N Stash Challenge
Challenge 105 with and optional Vintage theme. This challenge is being sponsored by Live & Love Craft who are offering the lucky winner a £10 gift voucher.

 For my card I have chosen to flip the sketch and use Prima papers from the Almanac collection. I distressed the edges and then used a little picket fence crackle paint for an ages effect. I cut the frame using my trusty Cricut set at 5.25 inches. the cartridge used was sentimentals. The pretty butterfly and the tape I simple cut out of some scraps of paper I had left after making the base card. You cant quite see from the photograph but my wooden sentiment at the top says delightful and this too is from Prima. The lace is from my ever growing stash and the flower is Kaiser crafts. The image in the frame is a stamp by Stampers Anonymous from the Tim Holtz collection.

I do hope that you like it.

SFTW DT Card

Good morning every one and a very happy new year to you all.
Its time for our first challenge of 2013 over at SFTW and the theme is Anything goes. Our lovely sponsor for this challenge is The Stamp Fairy Shop, who are offering a $10 gift certificate for our winner.

The papers used this time are GCD Studios Ella Blue. The cute image was kindly donated by The Stamp Fairy and is called Mimi Teddy 2 ....i'snt she cute? I have coloured her with colics in my new favourite color combination. The rosette was my first attempt at one of these and I must say that it tried to get away from me a few times. I ended up having to have help holding it down while the glue dried!
The ribbons and sentiment are from my stash and the shaped card is a blank from Craftwork Cards

Any way thanks for stopping by and it would be great if you could pay a visit to my talented teamies over at SFTW

SFTW DT Card

Good morning  fellow bloggers. Now I know that you are all very busy what with Christmas being only 4 days away (where did the year go!) but it's time for another challenge over at SFTW. It's nice and simply because we have gone with everyone's favourite anything goes. Our generous sponsors the time are The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and Bugaboo. You have until the 3rd of January 2013 to submit a project so once that Turkey has gone down why not have a little me time and enter the SFTW challenge

So here is what I produced for this challenge and I am sorry to say it is another Christma Card but I had so many to make this year that it seemed a shame not to show them!

I have used the very last of my Christmas lost and found pad for this one. Once again I have used my cricut to cut the card base from the sentimental s cartridge. The flower which I have used a lot lately was cut from the flower shoppe cartridge. The gorgeous image is Lilli of the Valley coloured in Copic's.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.

It's challenge time again over at Diva's by Design. As this will be our last challenge before Christmas it is only fitting that our theme this time is Merry Christmas/anything goes. The Challenge will run for three weeks giving you plenty of time to join in over the festive season. Or wonderful sponsors this time are Mulberry crafts who have generously donated some beautiful flowers and Gingersnap Scraps online store......

For my offering this time I have used a fab Mo manning image called Winter fairy Halla. I have used copics to colour and a touch of stickles to give a frosty look. the papers are lost and found Christmas. I have used my Cricut again for this card . The base card was cut at 5.5 inches using the sentimentals cartridge. The flower was cut using the flower shoppe cartridge and the bauble from a third cartridge called winter frolics. the lace and the twine are from my stash and the sentiment is by rose studios cut with a circular nestie.

Have a merry Christmas everyone 

and dont forget to visit my talented team mates they have created so fabulous cards.

let it snow

I am so sorry scheduled post just did not happen and I have only just got in. It should have posted 9am this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Good morning everyone and welcome to another Stampin for the weekend challenge. This time the challenge is Let is Snow. Simply use a snowy image or create a snow scene on your project. Our sponsors this time is Simon Says Stamp.

For my DT card I have used a Lili of the Valley image. Isn't he cute?

I have really kept it very simple as this card was commissioned for a little boy called Oscar by his grandma.

The papers are from my stash and I have had them so long that I dont remember who they are by, which is a shame because I love them so much. The stamp is delivering the present by Lili of the valley and I have coloured him using copics. The gorgeous snow flake I got in a pack of 6 for 50p and the sentiment is computer generated.

Do pop over to see my team mates and spread the love

Any way thanks for stopping by

Hugs
