Fairy Wishes

Hi all,

We have a new release over at Inky Impressions today - April's Wish Big release features some fabby Digi images and sentiments.

Now we have decided to change things up a little from this release, normally as you know we do a little Blog Hop whenever we have a new release but, we know how precious crafting time is and not every one has time for (can be bothered lol) to do a Blog Hop.

So from now on you will find all the teams fabby creations in one place over on the Inspiration Blog.

For my card I was given the lovely Wishing Well & Wishing Well Fairy images to work with and came up with this.

I teamed the images with some pretty papers from LOTV, a few flowers and some lovely polka dot organza ribbon.

Thanks for popping by my blog today, I hope you do pop over to the Inspiration Blog to check out my team mates fabby creations

A sweet Hello!!!

Hi all,

Its time for a new challenge over at Inky Impressions today and this week the theme is

Paper piecing

I have to admit this is not one of my favorite things to do, but in the end am pretty pleased with how my card came out.

I used the adorable image - Lili's Secret and paper pieced her jeans & top, the rest of the image was coloured in using Promarkers. I teamed Lili with some gorgeous flowery papers from the MME Howdy Doody pad, added lots of flowers and some pretty polka do ribbon. The sentiment was stamped on a cute little cloud from Memory Box.

Please do pop on over to the challenge blog and check out my team mates fabby creations.

Hi all,

Its time for a new challenge over at Inky Impressions today and this week our theme is

Spring/Easter

Well I tell you, you wouldn't think it was Spring or Easter here at the moment with all the bloomin snow & ice on the ground. I went a right cropper on Monday whilst on the way home on the school run, hurt all my leg, arm/elbow & back - have some right whopping bruises now and was very stiff and sore yesterday. So was feeling very sorry for myself yesterday lol!!

Anyway back onto the challenge -  I have used the adorable Flower Lili for my card today and coloured her up using my promarkers in some bright and spring like colours.

I teamed Lili with some gorgeous papers from MME, added lots of spring flowers, some pretty polka dot ribbon and my new little heart dies. All matted onto Kraft - love how this card came out in the end, looks really bright and cheerful.

Hi all,

Back again as promised with my card for Inky Impressions - thanks to all who joined in last weeks challenge we had lots of lovely entries.

Anyway the theme this week is

Splash of Red

So we would like to see Red somewhere on your card - a little splash of it or a big splash its up to you but it has to be there.

For my card I used the fabby Spunky Scooter Lili - I love her she is so adorable and just so reminds me of  Abbie hers lol. 

You can see from my card I have gone with lots of red, I also wanted to keep the card quite simple and funky to tie in with the image. These papers from Echo Park were just perfect and make the card seem bright and cheery. I added a little fish tail sentiment and a few gems to finish, wanted to keep a nice clean look.

Thanks for popping by today, will be back tomorrow with my Milkcoffee Card.

Sweet Lilli

Hi all,

Its time for a new challenge over at Inky Impressions today and our theme this week is :

Bingo

So pick a line, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally or if your feeling adventurous why not go for the full house!!!!

So for my creation I used the top horizontal row and chose Flowers, Ribbon & Pink - no surprise there then really lol!!!

I made a cute little wall hanging to sit my adorable image - Fashionista Lilli - on to.

Bet you can't guess who has already stolen this for her room!!!!!!

I started with a chipboard heart (Craftwork Cards) and covered it with some pretty pink argyle paper and carefully cut around it. The flowers & ribbon are from WOC and the pretty little metal flowers are upside down spacers with a gem glued into the middle. Everything has been glued down with my favourite new toy - my hot glue gun (thanks Maggie) seriously I love it!!!! - so much better than having to wait for silicone to dry

Please do pop on over to the Challenge Blog and check out my team mates fabulous creations, join in the fun and you could win a fabulous sticker maker from this weeks sponser - very useful - I use mine when I want to add sticky onto the back of fiddly/intricate die cuts.
