A quickie Christmas card

Morning Peeps from a bitterly cold Worcester!  Isn't it freezing this morning?  Winter is definately upon us brrrrr.  At least the sun is shining though so that's one consolation lol!

Just wanted to share with you a very quick card I put together.  The gorgeous little girl is a digi from Make It Crafty called "Elise gift".  Isn't she a sweetie?   The dp I have used is by Magnolia and the pearls and poinsettia are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have coloured her in with Copics and again used Spray & Sparkle by Crafters Companion over the whole image (big addiction, but I'm sure you already knew that hehe).  Thanks for stopping by!  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Playing with another Saturated Canary

Evening my pals!  Made another card just for fun and yes it's another Saturated Canary image lol.

After following Linda's fab tutorial over on the Spectrum Noir blog I decided to make a card with her and this was the result.  Thanks for sharing your talent with us Linda!  The dps I have used are from Nitwits, matted onto coredinations cardstock.  The die I used for the image is a Diesire by Crafters Companion.  Sentiment and ribbon from my stash and the flowers and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

As mentioned previously the image has been coloured in with Spectrum Noirs and covered with Spray & Sparkle.  Think I'm slightly addicted to the stuff lol.  I will be entering my card into the Saturated Canary challenge as I followed their sketch and the Wild Orchid Challenge who are wanting to see a card for a child's Christmas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Another one for fun!

Morning Folks!!  I seem to be on a roll this week, long may it last lol!  I have another card to share with you that I've made just for fun.

The gorgeous image I have used is a relatively new one from Make it Crafty and she is called "Lisa Snowman".  The backing papers are from the SWALK Winter Cheer cd rom, the snowflake is a Marianne die, ribbon from my stash and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The image has been coloured in with Copics and again I have used Spray & Sparkle from Crafters Companion over the whole image.  I'm just loving the effect it gives to the card especially for Christmas with the cold, frosty days.  Thanks for stopping by!  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Happy Birthday!

Good Morning!!  Today sees a brand new challenge theme over at The Paper Shelter and this week our theme is a nice and easy one - Happy Birthday.

For my card I have used the gorgeous little "Balloon Ride".  He's quite an oldy and sadly often overlooked but isn't he a cutie?!  The backing paper I have used is from the "Lovely Bugs" paper pack which I've matted onto coredinations cardstock.  The border is a doohickey die, the sentiment is by Personal Impressions, the swirl is a Marianne die, ribbon from my stash and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have coloured the little fella in with my Copics and added some Crafters Companion spray & sparkle to the balloon.  Thanks for stopping by, hope you'll join in the fun with us this week over at The Paper Shelter for a chance to win an awesome $30 voucher.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Let's Chill!!

Morning Luvlies!!  Just a quick post from me this morning to share with you my latest creation using the gorgeous "Winter Fairy Halla" by Mo Manning.

I wanted to play along with the DP2 challenge and this week their theme is "Let's Chill" and it was an excuse to get another Christmas card done lol.  The dps I have used are the Snowfall collection by Bo Bunny.  The sentiment is from LOTV, The snowflakes and tree are Marianne dies and the gorgeous leaf is from La-la Land Crafts.  The blooms are a combo from Papirloftet and Wild Orchid Crafts.

As always I have coloured the image in using Copics and then a good spray of Crafters Companion's Spray & Sparkle over the whole image for a gorgeous sheen and sparkle like no other!  I'll be entering my card into the following challenges :

Bunny Zoes - Winter

Wild Orchid Crafts - A traditional Christmas

Crafters Companion DT - SWALK sneak peek

Good Morning!  I have another SWALK card to share with you this morning.  Crafters Companion are launching a new Pick of the Week on Create and Craft TV on Friday at midday.  You'll not wanna miss this one as there are three cds and stamps too.

For my sample I decided to make a "Peek a Boo" card following the fab tutorial by the uber talented Norma which you can find HERE.   The images, sentiments and backing papers are printed off the cds and I've sprayed the images with Pink spray and sparkle.

When the card is open it reveals another image which I found rather fab and couldn't wait to try out Norma's great tutorial, thanks Hun! 

Another view so that you can see the two images 

And a front view.  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to catch the show on Telly on Friday or set your recorder.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxxx

Saturated Canary

Evening Folks!  I was just on my way to bed and realised I hadn't blogged my tag which I made especially to enter the Little Darlings Challenge.  

I decided to use this cutie called "(Ugly) Christmas Sweater".   The dps I have used are from Nitwits, the trees are a Marianne Designs die.  The doily, ribbons and lace are all from my stash.

As usual I have coloured my image in with Copics and have also added glossy accents to her eyes for more definition.  The sentiment came with the image and I used some di's around the edges.  Thanks for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Crafters Companion DT - SNEAK PEEK : NEW SWALK PICK OF THE WEEK

Morning Peeps!  I have an exciting post to share with you this morning!!  Crafters Companion have done it again and are launching a fabulous new Pick of the week over on Create and Craft on Friday.  Thought I would share with you a little sneak peek. 

They will be launching three new cd roms in the SWALK range and guess what??  One of the fabulous cds is all digi images, isn't that fab?!

For my card I have used one of the Card Companions off the paper crafting cd and printed paper from the SWALK 2 cd all backed onto coredinations cardstock.  I've also used a MS punch around the page.

The sentiment and little image are from the same page as the card companion.  Hope you're enjoying the sneak peeks from the rest of the design team and don't forget to tune in to Create and Craft on Friday at midday for the launch.  Thanks for stopping by!  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Fairies and Elves

Hi Folks!  WOW it's Wednesday again and that means time for a new challenge theme over at The Paper Shelter woohoo!  This week the theme is all about fairies and/or elves, isn't that fab?!

For my card I chose to use "The fairy of the cookies" which has to be just one of my faves.  The fab thing about most of The Paper Shelter's digis is that they come with a backing paper as this one did.  All I did was add the swirls which are a doohickey die, the sentiment is from Whimsy stamps and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  

As always I have coloured her in with my Copics and I've added some Crafters Companion "Spray and Sparkle" to her wings.  Have a mentioned how much I luv this stuff, I just wanna spray everything so it glitters and shines lol.  Thanks for stopping by, I do hope you'll be able to play along with us this week over at The Paper Shelter.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxxx
