Simply Betty Stamps - April Facebook Challenge

My entry to the Simply Betty Facebook Challenge. Got this image free as long as I made something for the challenge. Well here it is. They wanted to see ribbon and swirls too. Well I have used both, just. Don't know why I used gold, but I'm liking it anyway. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Here without you by Krystal Hartley. These seem to be my new favourites. A couple of MFT die flowers and a Cheery Lyn die mini flourish and a few wee pearls in the centre of the flowers.

The Sugar Bowl 102

I'm a bit slow in putting this on my Blog. I entered it into the Sugar Nellie Facebook challenge the other week. But here is is anyway. My entry into this months Sugar Bowl Challenge, another Anything Goes. I just love this Leeann Ellis stamp, but as usual don't use it nearly as much as I should. Maybe I just have too many now. Nooo, I didn't just say that did I. The papers are proper papers - Ella Blue by GCD Studios. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the corner is a Whimsy die with a wee pearl added to the middle. I also die cut a few shells using a Marianne Design D (I think) and added a bit of ribbon.

Another Sugar Bowl 101

Yes, another Sugar Bowl entry from me. Am I on a role or what. This time I have used a newbie - Mia from Sugar Nellie. The papers are again downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - C'est la vie by Zoe Pearn. The sentiment is a stamp set from Whimsy Stamps and the die is Memory Box. The matting is actually navy blue, but my photography skills are letting me down there. I am also entering this into Sugar Nellie's Facebook Challenge - which is spots and stripes, but there will be another challenge starting tomorrow.

The Sugar Bowl 101 again Easter

I'm on a role with my cards for The Sugar Bowl Challenge. This is No 3. I have gone with Easter for their Facebook Challenge which is Spring colours. I have used a Sugar Nellie Digi image - Bunny Pip. For a change I have used real papers, they are Forever Friends by Docrafts that I have had for, like, forever. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. And a bit of ribbon from Hobbycraft.

The Sugar Bowl 101 again

Man this has been hard work. Blogger (or my Internet) is playing up mega. Anyway, onto my card. My second entry into The Sugar Bowl Challenge which is a simple one of Anything goes. I have gone rather pink with this one. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Sweet 16 by Melissa Bennett. The sentiment is Personal Impressions and a Martha Stewart punched Butterfly with 2 wee gems. And that's about it from me - still keeping it simple.

The Sugar Bowl 101

My entry into this Months Sugar Bowl Challenge. Another clean and simple card from me. I just can't seem to put embellishments on just now. Well I have used this cute image - Custard. I have got myself the Spellbinders A4 embossing folder with the dots, but have used the other side to it. I could be liking that side too. The clouds are Memory Box and the fence is Magnolia. And a bit of Menzies Tartan ribbon and that's me. I am also entering it into the Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge which is embossing.

Grey High Hopes

Another Challenge card from me, shocking isn't it. This time for the High Hopes Challenge where they want you to use silver/grey/metal on your card. So I decided to go grey with a bit of colour. Remind me next time that I don't do black and white colouring. The matting is actually grey, but kinda looks black. The image is an older one from High Hopes, can't remember the name of it. Papers are Pink Petticoat and I printed the sentiment. Added a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and some pearls and button. Added a bit of twine too for a change.

The Sugar Bowl 100 again

My second entry into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where they have an anything goes theme. I am also entering it into their Facebook Challenge where they have a colour challenge going on. The papers are First Edition - New Leaf, and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. The flower die is Marianne Design and the flourish is Cheery Lynn. And of course the image is from Sugar Nellie -Lei La.

The Sugar Bowl 100

My card for the 100th Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. A little red for me, but chose red for the Sugary Sunday Facebook Challenge, although you only needed to use a little bit of red. And I really must play about with my new camera, I just don't seem to be quite right with my pictures. I coloured an older digi image Poppy from the Homegrown range, with my polychromos pencils and blended with sansador. The papers are from the Me To You range by Do Crafts. And added a bit of ribbon.  I think it could do with something else, but nothing else looked right, so I left it alone.

The Sugar Bowl 99 entry 2

My second entry into The Sugar Bowl Challenge and first into the Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge where they want to see you using charms. I decided to go with this cutie and make non specific Baby card. The papers are downloads from Pink Petticoat and I printed the sentiment out. Added a strip of ribbon and a wee pram charm from the bow.

The Sugar Bowl 99

Thought I had better get my card on here. I have made her up for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. They have changed the challenge slightly. They don't have a sketch and the theme is anything goes. And it now lasts the whole month. What's the chances of me getting another card in then, eh. So I thought I would get this wee girlie made into a card. The papers are downloads from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Alphabet Soup - Girl by Zoe Pearn. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, and of course the image is from Sugar Nellie - a digi image. I also want to enter it on The Sugar Nellie Blog where they want to see projects made using the new digi images. I've also entered it into the challenge over at The Official Sugar Nellie Facebook challenge - which is Girlie this week.

The Sugar Bowl 98

 First up I have my entry into the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the optional extra is Let it Snow. I made this card quite quick, but this is the first chance to get it posted here. I love this stamp, and have coloured a few, so will still have to be in Christmas mode I think. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - A joyous Christmas by Julie Billingsley. The Sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

And my next card is for the Challenge over at The Official Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge where they have a colour challenge. Blues and Greens ish. The papers are again from Sweet Shoppe Designs - A Frosty Christmas by Julie Billingsley (again). The Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

Saturated Canary #32 - Cocoa

The challenge over at the Saturated Canary Challenge this week is Hot chocolate and marshmallows. So I used this wee cutie, coloured in pinks and browns. But I have made her into a tag for a wee bag of hot chocolate and marshmallows. I found a box of mini mini marshmallows, but can I find them again - oh no. The little bits of paper are from Pink Petticoat and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley.

And a sidey ways view, just to see the choccie and mallows a bit better.

Sketch Saturday #236

Yay - another card from me. Still on the Christmas rush, but this time following the sketch over at Sketch Saturday I've had this cute Sassy Cheryl Snowman coloured for a while, so thought it was about time I used him. The papers are Dovecraft and the sentiment is an old Magnolia stamp I found in all my stuff - stamped on white card and coloured in with distress ink. The matting is actually green card, but looks rather black here. I would also like to enter this card into the Sketchy Colours challenge - colour - red, green and white. And the Cute Card Thursday challenge - colour - red and green.

The Sugar Bowl and Saturated Canary

 First up I have Big Sis's Birthday card. She loves green and any Saturated Canary image, so I should be OK with this one. I have followed the sketch over at The Saturated Canary Challenge, so would like to enter it over there. The papers are downloads from Pink Petticoat. Have used nesties for the ovals and Marianne Designs dies for the shells and starfish. Printed the sentiment and the 40 is from a Sizzix sizzlet set. A bit of seam binding, a ribbon slider and a few gems to finish.

And next up is my card for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. There they have the optional extra of A Winters Tale. I can do that. So I have used this cutie Crystal Snowflakes, and I hear she may be coming out as a digi - oh, maybe I might just have to get her in digi too. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Forecast Flurries by Eva Kipler. The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley. Some snowflakes and button to finish. I would also like to enter it into the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Snowflakes.

The Sugar Bowl 94

High Hopes Guest

I was asked to be a guest over at the High Hopes Challenge. It's a sketch this week, so I thought it would be nice and easy for me. I quite like how it turned out, and no design paper - I know, it shocked me too. I used Kitty's Christmas Fun in a circle cut out with a larger Go Kreate die. Printed out the sentiment and cut it out with an MFT die. A bit of doodling, couple of snowflakes, glitter, button and rhinestones and that's me. Simple but pretty effective I think.

High Hopes Halloween

Blogger isn't playing well at all just now. It's taken forever to get this picture on here. Anyway, the challenge over at High Hopes is to use Halloween colours. I've been into making tags just now, so thought I would make a Halloween tag to go on a bag of treats. I've got the bags, but not the treats, so we just look like a tag at the mo. I've got a few High Hopes Halloween stamps, but these are quite smallish for cards. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Spooky Ooky by Fee Jardine. Not that I've used much paper (great for using scraps up). The Ticket is from Whimsy, a digital set. Added a bit of doodling, a bit of ribbon and 3 wee rhinestones and that's me. 

The Sugar Bowl #92

My entry to The Sugar Bowl challenge this week. The image is an older Sugar Nellie and is a set. I just love this one. The optional extra is Turquoise/Brown. I can do that, so why did I have to have a nosy round Nitwits site and come up with some new papers. Yes these papers are a download from Nitwits - Winter Wishes. The sentiment is Craftwork cards and the snowflakes are a Hobbycraft punch. The swirly bits round the edge of the image are from a freebie stamp set from a magazine. I am also entering it into the Sugar Nellie Facebook Challenge which is 3 of something. There are new challenges over there on Sundays at 12pm.

Het Canary #1

Man that was hard work - Blogger wasn't wanting to play there. Finally got a picture to upload, not the one I wanted, but hey it's this card. So anyway, I have made this card for the Dutch Saturated Canary Challenge, using an image that was a freebie (I think it is in the Saturated Canary Shop now). The papers are Papermania - Portabello Road and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I have coloured her with Polychromos and blended with sansador and paper stumps.
