Love & Hugs

Evening...  Its been one of those days, after going away for the night something decided that I was rather yummy and decided to take a total of 15 chunks out of me.  I now have an infection, swollen ankles and very swollen feet.... not what I need at the moment!

Anyway I wanted to post this before I went away but time was not on my side and so I am sat here at a strange angle typing! LOL!!! Last week I brought some stamps from a friend, I'm so in love with LOTV any way but when I saw this beauty I just had to have her!!! Meet 'Summer - My best Friend'.

She is just so adorable! Now I apologise for the photo, I don't have the energy to pull out the big camera and so I have used the picture I posted on facebook! The image was coloured with copics and die cut using a new nellie snedden die I have.  

The butterflies were punched using my MS Butterfly punch and then coloured using my copics, the flowers are from WOC and the lace was from my stash! 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

Make It Monday - Anything Goes

Paper Pretties - Anything Goes

Tammy Scrapping Corner - Add some flowers

Great Impressions - Anything With Animals

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon!

Im A.....

Morning all, well what a few weeks so far, been so busy and still so much to do - Cant wait to show you the 'big' thing I'm working on... ohhh so exciting.  Anyway it has been a strange few weeks - a few big decisions were made and  at first I didn't know if they were right, then I realised that it was the right thing to do!  A while back I applied for a DT, after a while I had a reply telling me that I wasn't successful, I thought nothing more of it and got on with day to day life when a few weeks ago I had an e-mail asking me to join the team! Of course I had a think and accepted.... So I can now officially say



OK so yes I was dancing round the room when I saw it.....Whoop! Oh it feels so good to finally be able to say it! Anyway best get back to the real reason i'm here to share this weeks challenge of course!  So this week over at Charisma Cardz were looking for creations with

Flora and Fauna

Our sponsors this week are

PRIZE ONE

The Stamping Boutique are offering 5 digis of the winners choice! From there online boutique store Full of wonderful images! 

PRIZE TWO

A Crafty Prize from Carlyann

Now this was a bit of a toughie for me... I googled this quite a few times to get some ideas and even then had to sleep on it.  I finally decided to use the lovely Fluffy on The Lily from Wee Stamps.

I had to watch about 5 You Tube videos to get the nerve to colour him up.... I never colour animals... they are a bit scary! But I took the challenge and feel I did quite well.  

The image was coloured with copics, I also coloured the background with copics just to break it up a bit.  The image was cut out using my nesties as well as the scalloped edge. The papers were from my stash and the sentiment from LOTV.

 I added rhinestones just to add some sparkle, the flowers are all from WOC.  I hope you will pop over and take a look at what the rest of the DT have created, some wonderful creations! I hope I may have inspired you to join us this week, can't wait to see your creations! before I go I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Thank you Mum and Dad....

Afternoon, how are we all today? 

Well been busy here getting orders finished and started and swimming lessons with my big girl! So proud of her! She swam the length of the pool today (hubby thinks 20-25m)- not that I didn't think she could but she did so so well!!! 

Anyway I'm here to share a card I have made for a friend, she wanted something to say thank you to her mum and dad for all their help and support with her wedding thats coming up in a few weeks time.  Now she wanted to keep it in with the theme of the wedding and so I came up with this

I love this couple from Tiddly Inks called You and me available here, they are just so adorable and wonderful to colour.  The papers my fried helped me purchase from Karens Scraps, absolute bargain price! and downloaded strait away making life so easy! 

The image was coloured with copics;

E0000, E00, E02, R20

C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, 100

E40, E41, E43
