Seeing double

Good morning bloggers. I haven't been around much over the last week or so and for that I am very sorry. I have had a really stubborn flu bug that just will not go away. It's still lingering a little now but I m trying to ignore it.

Right enough moaning because it's time for another challenge over at Sketch N Stash. The optional theme this time is Girly and Blingy but you must follow the sketch below. Our fabulous sponsor is the
 Stamp Fairy who are offering a $10 gift certificate to spend in their store.



I have kept it quite simple and used a single sheet of first edition papers on a craftwork cards base. The scalloped edge has been attached using pop dots for dimension but you can see it in the photo. The gorgeous images are by Stamp Fairy and called Mimi stars. The sentiment was a free download from the Stamp Fairy store.




Thanks for stopping by and please do visit my talented team mate at Sketch N Stash they really do have some fab inspiration for you

Love and Romance

Good morning everyone. Its time for another challenge over at Diva's  by Design. The theme this time is Love and Romance. Our kind sponsor is Craftie Charlie.

 I cut my card shape with a new Cricut Cartridge called fancy edges. I have used my new favourite papers by Whimsy called romance. The gorgeous Mo Manning image is called With love and I have coloured her using Copics. I have used a variety of dies which are Nesties for the ovals, Memory box for the heart border and Die Namics for the little banner with the sentiment.
Dont forget to go visit my talented teamies at the Diva's blog and spread the love.

Love Grows

Good morning everyone I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I'm decorating at the moment so most of my time has been spent running back and forth to DIY shops and I still need to go back and get more paper I hope they don't run out. Wallpaper shopping is way more stressful than craft paper shopping!

Any way enough waffle and on to the real reason that I am here this morning.......................

It's time for another challenge over at Sketch N Stash and the theme this week is LOVE (what else could it be with valentines just round the corner!) 
Our fabulous sponsor is LOTV. All you have to do is follow the sketch below. How easy could that be?

For my card i have used Love grows by Lili of the Valley coloured with Copics. The papers are Romance by Whimsy. The cute little hearts have been cut using Die namics.

Crafty individuals




I have used Wryn Grow a Little love for my card and she has been coloured using Copic markers. The gorgeous spotty paper is First Edition Blank canvas. I really when to town with the punching and die cuts. The flower spray has been cut using a Memory Box Die. The base has been cut using a Martha Stewart punch around the page set Floral Crochet  To get the coordinating flowers I used the same Martha Stewart punch on some scraps of paper and then just cut out the individual flowers and blinged them up with some pearls. The sentiment was a free digi down load from Tiddly Inks.

I do hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

A Fairy Tail

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?

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)
