High Hopes #247

I've had this card finished for a while now, so thought I had better get it posted. It can be my first card in the pile for 2015. Yay - go me. The stamp is an older one from High Hopes. I love these older one, but as with most of my stash, don't use them anywhere near enough. I have made a DL card using papers from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Forecast Flurries by Eva Kipler. The sentiment I think is from Crafters Companion from one of the Popcorn the bear range of stamps. I am entering this card into the challenge over at High Hopes where the theme is Anything Christmas.

The Sugar Bowl 119 again

Another entry for me into the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. And another non Chrsitmas card too. Thought I had better get Big Sis's Birthday card made. Her Birthday was yesterday, so all good. It's really not my usual colours, but I am liking them. The papers are from Lili of the Valley. I think Big Sis probably chose the pad too. I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. I thought I had missed it, but they are leaving the challenge open for 2 weeks. Wahey - result. The flower is from an MFT Blueprint die set. I thought I would add a few sequins, just because I could. The Sentiment is from a Kanban clear set. Oh and the image is a digi image from Sugar Nellie - Oriental Ladies #4.

The Sugar Bowl 119

Decided to go with a non Christmas card for this one. Maybe then I can get back into the swing of all things Christmas again. I have used a cute new digi image from Sugar Nellie. This one is called Floral Ladies #2. There is a butterfly under the diecut butterfly, but I didn't know what colour to colour it, so I covered it up. I have coloured her with Polychromos. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Here without you by Krystal Hartley. The sentiment is a stamp from Kanban. I am entering her into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is anything Goes. I am also entering it into the Sketch Saturday Challenge. I have used sketch #258.

The Sugar Bowl 118 #2



Thought I had better get this card posted. I've missed the Remembrance Challenges that it was originally made for. But hey - I can still enter her into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. It's a nice and easy Anything goes challenge. I have used a Gorgeous Girl stamp. Coloured with Polychromos and blended with Sansador with paper stumps. A couple bits of washi tape and a few sequins. Even more simple than my usual style.

High Hopes #245

As I won the challenge over at High Hopes the other week, I was asked if I wanted to be a Guest this week. Er, of course. They have a photo inspiration this week. I went with the colours, but still kept it a winter card. I am going back to my older stamps now that my colouring is improving, and I am loving them even more. This stamp is called Birdies Friend Snowlady. OK, so I have so many new images to play with, but I guess it just has to be done. The papers are Papermania (from last year I think). The Holly die is Spellbinders and I printed out the text.

High Hopes #243

I've had this High Hopes image coloured up forever. I think it has been coloured using watercolour pencils (cheap one from the supermarket). and I haven't used them for a while. So I thought if I didn't get it on a card then it probably never will make it. I still love this stamp. I'm still trying to use up my papers - not that that is gonna happen any time soon. I thin these were a freebie with a magazine. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. The snowflakes are X cut, with a wee button added to the larger one. The theme over at the High Hopes Challenge is button up - use at least one button. So I think that covers that one.

Papertake Weekly

Still in Christmas card mode. I bought this Magnolia stamp recently from Bunny Zoes (can't link just yet, as my internet seems to be playing up). I just had to use her before putting her away in a drawer. So here she is. I have followed sketch 95 from Papertake Weekly. I so need sketches at the moment. The papers are proper papers (not digital) and are by Dovecraft. The backing card is actually dark green, but my great photography skills aren't showing it. The snowflake is a Whimsy die and the sentiment is Crafty Impressions.

Saturday 1 November 2014

The Sugar Bowl 118

I'm now on Christmas card mode. And I couldn't resist using this All Dressed up stamp that is exclusive to Funky Kits. Isn't she adorable. I don't think she is actually a Christmas image, but think she works just fine. The papers are from Michele R Designs - Santa's coming. I've only just started using papers from Michele Roo, and boy, I'm lovin them, especially this set. Not much to say about this card really, nice and simple. The poinsettia die is Marianne design, the snowflake a punch from Hobbycraft and the dies square is Lil' inker. the othe dies are MFT. I printed the sentiment out, made up several to use on my Christmas cards. I am entering this card into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is anything goes.

Mo's Amanda

I decided to enter the challenge over at Mo's Digital Pencil. It's a special one this time where you have to use this image - But it is for a good cause. One of Mo's DT members - Amanda Reed - passed away unexpectedly, so this image is in her memory, so you can purchase this Amanda digi for the special price of $1.00 til 16th Oct and all proceeds will be given to a charity near to where Amanda lived. So I just had to give her a home. Anyway, I have used papers by MME and some washi tape, also by MME.The flower is a Marianne D die (I think) and a few punched butterflies. I have followed the sketch from over at Sketch Saturday.

Sunday 12 October 2014

Kraftin Kimmie Bingo

I made a tag for the Kraftin' Kimmie Bingo Challenge. Although I don't really know if it fits, but I'll give it a go. I used the row I - down. Purple accent (does a purple tag count), stitching, 2 buttons, lace and tag. I also did a booboo colouring. I was supposed to give her white socks. But I must have got carried away colouring the skin - haha. The little bit of paper used is from Papermania. I have had it years, so have now put it handy. My image is Kraftin' Kimmie Oh snap.

Boo - It's Halloween

 I decided to do a wee Halloween project for a change. I had some Activia yoghart things and the pots just made me think of a Witches Cauldron. So I got Hubby to spray paint it black for me. Then I wanted to make a stand of some sort, so got out the chipboard and made a wee stand thingie, and covered it in black pearlecent paper. Then I added some DP, downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Spooky Ooky by Fee Jardine. I stood them up with a bit of acetate stuck to the back of her and the cat. The ghosts are also stuck onto acetate to make them look like they are flying. The Wee Witch is coloured using Polychromos and blended with Sansador and paper stumps. She comes in digi or rubber from Sugar Nellie. The ghosts are a die from Memory Box. The cat (yes, if you look closely there is a cat in the front) is a GoKreate die. The bats are Tim Holtz Sizzix and an old Sizzix Paddle punch thing. The sentiment is from Whimsy stamps. I want to enter this into the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Anything but a card. And I am also going to enter it into the Challenge over at Papertake Weekly where there is an anything goes theme, with an optional of a Halloween treat or gift. I have put some wee treat inside. I got a packet of millions in a wee cellophane bag. And I will leave you with a side view so you can see them standing there.

Sketch Saturday Week 330

Whoohoo - another Christmas card from me. This time a lil Kitty Kat from Whiff of Joy, and a digi too. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. The papers are from Papermania from last year. The sentiment is Magnolia from many years ago - I am finally starting to use it. The holly leaves are a Spellbinders die.

Friday 3 October 2014

The Sugar Bowl 117

Yay the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl is back. I did miss it, but hey, we are now back and playing along. The theme is an easy Anything Goes. So I decided that I really must get into Christmas mode. So I coloured this wee cutie Titania. The papers are from MicheleRDesigns. I have only just got myself some of these digi papers and boy do I love them. I guess they wont be the last - haha. The snowflake was a freebie die with a magazine - I think it is X cut. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I did try to stamp on purple with white ink, but it didn't work out, so I stamped on white and coloured with distress ink. I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. A nice simple card as usual for me.

Wednesday 3 September 2014

Christmas riding

Thought I had better start some Christmas card making. So thought I would start with the Challenge over at Winter Wonderland where the theme is gingham or check. This so didn't quite go the way I planned, but there is still gingham. I thought I had gingham in another paper pack, but couldn't find any. But hey, I bought this pack at the weekend (so maybe shouldn't quite be using it yet - haha). The paper is by Dovecraft. The stamp is Bilmalarna and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I have also followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday #248.

Monday 1 September 2014

High Hopes Fall

I think I might just about make it for the High Hopes Challenge where the theme is Fall colours. Not my usual colours I have to admit, but I'm likin them. And as usual, I have kept it simple. I actually followed an older sketch from Papertake Weekly. I think it is sketch 24, but can't find it on the site. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs by Dani Mogstad I think. The sentiment is a stamp by Kanban. And of course the stamp is a rather old High Hopes stamp - Danni Dress Up.

The Sugar Bowl DT call

Yay - The Sugar Bowl Challenge is coming back on the 25th Sept. And they are looking for some new DT members. So I thought I would give it a go. I don't normally put myself out there (Ok , so I've never done it before), but I really do love my Sugar Nellie Stamps. So here goes - my entry for the DT call for The Sugar Bowl Challenge. I have used a new digi stamp - Furry Friends Parachute Jump. These new stamps are super cute. The clouds are Memory Box - fluffy clouds. And the papers are proper papers - yay, go me. Angelica and Adam by Crafters Companion. The Sentiment is a Personal Impressions stamp which I guess I have had for a while (a long while). And as usual for me, three wee rhinestones in the corner. I don't seem to be able to get passed the simple cards at the moment. Not that I have ever done real fussy ones. I also want to enter it into the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Anything goes.

Thursday 21 August 2014

Sketch Saturday

Another of my new Sugar Nellie Digis. This wee Guy is from the Furry Friends range and is called Waiting for you. I have coloured him with Polychromos pencils. I tried to give him some furry fur, not too sure if it worked that well. And I even used proper papers (not digi), shocking I know. I really should use more and get rid of some of the huge pile. Well anyway, the papers are First Edition - J'adore. I have cut the square with Lil Inkers stitched square. The heart is a sissix framelit die and the sentiment is from Whimsy stamps. I am entering this into the Competition over at Sugar Nellie which has some awesome prizes.


Other Challenges I am entering it into are:-
Papertake Weekly - To die for
Sketch Saturday - Sketch

Sugar Nellie Biking

Had another play with my new digi's from Sugar Nellie. They are all cute, so was a hard choice, but this wee chappie won - Furry Friends Easy Rider. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs (again) - Something Wicked by Lauren Grier. The sentiment is Personal Impressions. Added a bit of twine and a few die cuts. MFT buttons and the tab is from MFT Blueprints. Coloured with Polychromos pencils and blended with sansador and paper stumps. I am entering him into the competition over at Sugar Nellie where you can win a chance to be a Guest Designer or even a chance to win a class over at Kit and Clowder. I haven't gotten any of the classes yet, but even just being around their Facebook page, I have seen an improvement in my colouring.

Simply Betty - July Bettina

Oh Man, I'm struggling with Blogger at the mo. I can get onto my Blog, but when I try to open someone else's Blog, more often and not I get unable to display notices. Just when I think it is sorted and can get on others it then starts all over again. It gets so frustrating. Anyway, back to my card. This is my final card for the Challenge over at Simply Betty Facebook Challenge. You don't have to use all four images, but if you enter the challenge with all four, then you can get back credit for the next challenge images. So, my final card is of Bettina Mermaid. The extra for Bettina is to use heat embossing. I think I might have gone a little overboard with the frantage, but hey - I have used heat embossing. The papers are downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Here without you by Krystal Hartley. The shells are again Marianne D dies. I added a bit of kraft card cut into wee strips just to make it slightly different from the other cards. Haha.

And a final picture of all four cards/gift bag together. I loved these Mermaids and working with them.

Wednesday 6 August 2014

Happy Birthday Kitty

I had a wee play with one of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie. They are all super cute. And are Digi Stamps, so you get the straight away - Awesome. So I made a wee bag for my first attempt. I bought loads of these bags years ago. I did use them, but it was only when I started chopping off the handles that I really started liking the end results. I normally add ribbon for the handles, but couldn't find any to go, so I added some raffia (another old buy haha). The wee tag is a MFT Die-namics die - Pet Charms. Bought for the doggy bits, but knew the cat ones would come in handy sometime.  I have also used some elements from the MFT Blueprints 14 dies. The papers are downloads from Pink Petticoat, Washed out and gingham. 
I am entering this into the challenge over at Papertake Weekly where the theme is Anything Goes. I did start this for their challenge last week, but didn't get the image coloured in time. The sketch is from Papertake Weekly sketch #63.
I am also entering it into the challenge over at Sugar nellie. They have a super prize on offer over there. They want you to make anything using any of the new Digis and you could win a Guest Design spot or even some colouring classes. Now how cool would either of these be.

Friday 1 August 2014

Simply Betty - July Sheri

Card number 3 for the Simply Betty Facebook Challenge and this time I'm using Sheri Mermaid. The extra for this one is twine or ribbon, so I dug out the twine. The papers are again Sweet Shoppe Designs - Carolina Coast by Melissa Bennett. I decided to add a wee charm on the twine. The starfish is a Marianne Design die. That's about all for this one.

Wednesday 30 July 2014

Simply Betty - July Betty

 And for my next Simply Betty Mermaid I am using Betty. How could I refuse that wee Dolphin. I just love Dolphins. I decided to make a gift bag this time. The extra for Betty is to use gems/rhinestones - I can do that. Although I think I went a bit mad with them. I see other people dotting gems around and think it looks cool, but I just didn't know when to stop. I kept thinking, just another one here. But I did manage to force myself to stop. And my wee Dolphin die cut - how cute is he. It's an old quickutz die that I've had for years. See I knew he would come back in (no not really, I'm just a hoarder and can't part with anything). The papers are downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Carolina coast by Melissa Bennett. I cut the bag down to size and added some ribbon for handles and dotted some rhinestones about.
I am entering this into the Simply Betty Facebook Challenge. This is my second Mermaid. I have got another one finished and have one more to do. Hopefully I will manage to get it finished.
I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

Thursday 24 July 2014

Simply Betty - July Corinne

The July challenge over at Simply Betty's Facebook Challenge is to use these cute mermaids. I have used Corinne Mermaid first, but have managed to colour all four up. Just got to make the rest into something.  You can get all the images over here. And for this challenge if you enter using all four then you can get credit back for the price you paid to buy the next set. How cool is that. But - hey, I'm going with the one I have finished for now, but hopefully I will manage to finish the rest. For this one I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. And the added extra for Corinne mermaid is to add glitter. I have added some, just don't think you can see it very well. I have added it to the water and the sand/stone she is sitting on to look like shiny water. Can you tell I have bought a new white pen, I had to add white dots to the tail. I would have had a glittery tail if I hadn't added them. Haha. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Vignette by Krystal Hartley. The dies are Marianne Design, think I will have to invest in some more nautical dies to go with the mermaids. I'll be getting fed up with these soon.

Monday 23 June 2014

Another ScrapBerry's

I managed to sneak in another little play with my new ScrapBerry's Stamps. These are gorgeous and easy to colour. The stamps come with accessory stamps, and the wee budgie is actually an accessory. I just had to add him. We used to breed and show budgies many moons ago. The papers are downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Dear Diary by Kristen Cronin Barrow. The flowers are MFT dies, coloured with Stormy Skies Distress ink. Coloured with polychromos and blended with sansador and paper stumps. All that was needed was a few wee pearls.

Challenges I am entering this card into
The Sugar Bowl #116 - Anything goes

My first ScrapBerry

I had to have a play when my new ScrapBerry Stamps arrived. How cute are these. I didn't know what colour to go with, so decided to go with black and white. The papers are old Papermania papers. I have decided I really have to use some papers up, so it's a start. I was looking for the flowers in a box, and came up with the long forgotten about doilies. I had to use the diecut filmstrip. It's from a Tim Holtz sizzlet strip - mini filmstrip and tickets. A few craftwork card candies and that's it. Still simple cards from me. Haha. I am entering this card into The Sugar Bowl Challenge, where the theme is anything goes. I know this isn't a Sugar Nellie stamp, but as they are being sold by them, we are allowed to use them for this final challenge.

Thursday 19 June 2014

Beside the Seaside

Got another card finished tonight. And luckily it fits into several challenges. I have used the cute Mermaid from Simply Betty Stamps. Coloured her with Polychromos pencils and blended with sansador and paper stumps. The papers are downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Carolina Coast by Melissa Bennett. A wee MFT die cut button and Marianne Designs Anchor. Added a bit of ribbon and pearls and that's me.

Christmas Fairies

I seem to be in Christmas mode just now. Hmmm, wonder how long that will last. Anyway, I have made a couple of wee gift card holders using the sweet Sugar Nellie Fairies. These are digi images, which helps when I want to make something that bit smaller. I want to enter these into the challenge over at Christmas at sweet stampin where the theme is Christmas Fairies. Both are made using digi papers from Sweet Shoppe Designs. The pink one is Happy Holidays by Zoe Pearn and the grey is Christmas Spirit - Silent Night, again by Zoe Pearn. I added a wee die cut poinsettia by Marianne Designs. Pretty simple really. Although I am really tempted to add something at the bottom of the pink one. But Hubby says to leave it alone. So I've left it alone (for now anyway). I am also entering them into the final challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is anything goes.

Dreaming of a white Christmas

Thought I would try and get some Christmas cards made. So when I saw the theme over at Winter Wonderland was white on white, I decided why not. So here we are. The image is from the Mulberry Wood CD from Crafters Companion. I have used embossing folders, which I think you can just about see. The very back is also from Crafters Companion called Let it snow and is an A4 folder. The dots are from Cuttlebug I think - swiss dots. The postmark (I just had to add) is from Lili of the Valley, and I printed the sentiment. I needed a bit of help, so followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. I also want to enter this card into the Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge where the theme is - For a child.

Friday 6 June 2014

The Sugar Bowl 116

Well here is my entry for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is Anything Goes. As this is gonna be their final challenge (how sad is that), I went with a farewell card. Although I am sure their will be plenty of new things planned for the future of Sugar Nellie. Anyway, I used a Gorgeous Girl by Suzanne Woolcott, but there doesn't seem to be many stamps there. (But they do have the Personal Impression Gorjuss Girl stamps). The papers are Sweet Shoppe Designs - Vignette by Krystal Hartley. And I printed out the text.

Monday 26 May 2014

The Sugar Bowl 115 again

My second entry into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is April showers bring May flowers. I went with the flowers this time. I used the cute Charlotte by Sugar Nellie. I am also entering it into the Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge where the theme is anything goes. The papers are MME (I think) which were a freebie in a magazine a while ago. Thought I had better start using some of my papers up. I have a long way to go. The die cuts are from MFT dinamics Blueprints.

Thursday 15 May 2014

The Sugar Bowl 115

My entry into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is April showers bring May flowers. As you can see I went with the showers part (or downpours more like). My image is by Mary Hall. I can't find this actual stamp, there are many more by this artist still available. The Gingham paper is a download from Pink Petticoat. The sentiment is by Personal Impressions and I have added several die cuts. The button is MFT, the fence Magnolia and the cloud Memory Box. Coloured with Copics a while ago. And I have no idea why I coloured it these colours, but it turned out OK in the end.

Tuesday 22 April 2014

The Sugar Bowl 114

Whoo hoo, hopefully I can get  this posted and entered into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl in time. It did say 5 hours left, so surely it wont take me that long. Haha, famous last words could spring to mind there. Anyway, my card. I have made an Easter card, but not quite used the usual spring colours. The image is a digi image, of course by Sugar Nellie. A cute wee Homegrown Pip called Barrow Pip. The papers are Sweet Shoppe Designs - A Mothers Love by Kristen Kronin Barrow (and I think there may be another designer there too). The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. And various dies - MFT buttons, Spellbinders matt on the sentiment and I think the flower and swirl are possibly Marianne D.

Friday 7 March 2014

Sketch Saturday week 299

I thought I would give the sketch over on Sketch Saturday a go. I thought it would make a nice A6 size card. I had some ribbed card, so I wanted to keep some of that showing. I added some paper to the middle and then a wee bit of gingham. I embossed the white panel with a spellbinder A4 double sided embossing folder. I die cut a Memory Box Precious Heart because I thought it looked a bit bare. The button is an MFT die cut with a bit of twine to make a bow. I have loads of peel offs from many moons ago, so I thought I would dig them out. And the cute wee rabbit is from Sugar Nellie's Little Cotton Rabbit range and is here, but is out of stock at the mo. I am also entering it into Sugar Nellie's Facebook Challenge which is buttons and bows.

Sunday 2 March 2014

The Sugar Bowl 113

My entry for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl, where they want to see something for Mothers Day or a Special Lady. So I thought Sister can be Special - right. (But shh, don't tell her that part). Anyway, for my card I have used a stamp from the Leanne Ellis Range, she isn't there at the mo, but there are plenty more to chose from. The papers are Pink Petticoat downloads from two sets - Washed out and Gingham. I have used Cuttlebug embossing folders on the white card, swiss dots and roses. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the flower and button are MFT dies. Oh and the butterflies are a punch I got from Hobbycraft many moons ago. I also want to enter it into the challenge over at Papertake Weekly, since I have used their sketch.

Thursday 30 January 2014

Leanne Ellis Sugar


I thought I would go with an older Leanne Ellis stamp from Sugar Nellie for this card. I have used the sweet Faraway Thoughts for this card.
There is a colour challenge going on over at The Sugar Bowl for this fortnight. I'll let you pop over and have a nosey at the colours. You can use all of them if you want but you must use at least two colours. And while you are there, have a look at the wonderful work from the DT - Super don't you think.
Anyway, back to my card. Along side my Leanne Ellis stamp I have used a Personal Impressions sentiment. The papers are yet again a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Breelyn by Krystal Hartley. I have also added a Marianne D diecut and a few gems to finish off.

Monday 27 January 2014

Sketch Saturday wk 294

I have made a card following the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. Although looking at all the other entries, not sure if this really counts. The shell diecuts are in place of the other circle bit (hope this counts). Anyway, I'm liking it so it's OK if it doesn't count. The image is a Gorjuss Girl by Personal Impressions - Awashed. I'm lovin all the Gorjuss girls at the mo, by any company. The papers are GCD Studio - Ella Blue. I have also added Marianne D diecut shells and a MFT button diecut tied with a bit of twine. The with love is a peel off - shh, don't tell everyone. Yes I admit, I have loads from when I first started Crafting. I added a bit of faux stitching around the image. I just can't leave alone these days, adding doodling of some sort. I also want to enter it into the challenge over at Sweet Stampin where the theme is stitches, real or faux. I haven't yet braved real sewing on my cards.

Monday 13 January 2014

Sweet Stampin

Another card from me. This one I am entering into the challenge over at Sweet Stampin where they want to see Girly but no pink. I think this card covers that. I have used a Krista Smith image from Sugar Nellie. The papers are Ella Blue by GSD Studios. I have added a few flowers (punches/dies) and a few pearls. I decided not to add a sentiment, but think something isn't right. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm leaving it alone so I don't make things worse. I am also entering it into the Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge where the theme is Flowers.

Saturday 11 January 2014

The Sugar Bowl Fairy

Another entry into the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is Fairies. This wee Fairy was made before Christmas, but I have just finished off the inside. But isnt she adorable. She is a digital image from Sugar Nellie, so instant sugar - yay, and is called Hey Little Birdie. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Forecast Flurries by Eva Kippler. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley and the snowflake dies are Whimsy stamps. And finished off with three wee rhinestone and button diecuts (MFT dies).
