For a Special Little Girl

Good Afternoon - how chilly is it today? brrr - so I'm having a day in the warm catching up with the horrid house stuff and will be getting crafty later on - have so much to do now but I thought I had to pop in and share with you my latest creation!  I have finally pulled out the rubber stamps and after a few bad attempts I hit it! 

This is Wish Upon A Star from Sugar Nellie available here - she is so cute and so lovely to colour.  Now it has been a long time since I have done an 8x8 but I was asked for one - it did take me a while to think and plan but I got there in the end,  I coloured the image with copics.  I also used lots of different die on the card! Im quite happy with how it has turned out! I hope you like it - I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

2 Sisters - Favourite Christmas Stamp (I LOVE this girl!)

hope you like my card! I would love to know what you think if you have a moment - look forward to seeing you soon

Mr and Mrs

Quack Quack, yes I'm learning duck as I feel its only appropriate for this weather, at least if I were a duck I would enjoy this dam rain! I was hoping to take Nancy out today to celebrate the last day before she starts nursery tomorrow but I'm going nowhere in this weather! so I think I will have to try and get crafty and get her involved today! 

Anyway I'm here with a commission on a wedding card, I couldn't believe it when my friend asked me to make another Cadburys purple wedding card just like the one I did a few weeks ago.  I said I would make it but it would be different to her one.  Then I stumped my-self, how was I going to do this on? I had to spend some time searching the internet for sketch ideas as I wanted this to be different... and then I cam across this sketch at Mojo Monday 

It took me a while to think about it as the design looks more 6x4 or 5x7 and I was working on an 8x8... but I did it!

Yes I think I managed to do it - It took me a few hours of moving stuff and thinking but I did It! (Slightly annoyed that i have missed linking this up :( Oh well!) The image is from Mo Manning - I love this one for weddings - so elegant!  The image was coloured using copics, the flourish is from the hobby house and the circular sentiment is from Lili of The Valley. 

Well I hope you like my creation, I would like to enter this card to the following challenges; 

The Ribbon Girl - Use Ribbon or Lace

Craft Punked - Celebrations

Fathers Day - Teddy Golf

Afternoon! Well that was a long weekend, with typical british weather... Rain.  Our party was cancelled yesterday due to the weather and I had spent my afternoon cooking and decorating cupcakes!! Not a happy bunny! Oh well can't change it! Well lots of changes happened yesterday, my little Nancy decided that she no longer wanted to be in baby jail at night, so we have taken the side of her cot off.. it was a nightmare getting her into bed last night , followed by a 6am wake up with a smack on the face and mumbled through her dummy 'wakey up time now mummy daddy!' Oh well - maybe she will sleep better tonight!

Anyway I have been crafty and quite impressed with myself for this one, A friend asked me to make a Fathers Day card for her kids - she left it pretty open to anything but she did tell me that he like golf at the moment - so what better image that 'Seven... I mean FOUR' from Teddy Bo. 

This was my first ever attempt at colouring a Teddy Bo image, I ave often seen them about and looked the other way as I don't feel I colour fur very well, but on this occasion I was quite impressed with myself! 

the image was coloured using copics, I haven't got what colours I used, it has taken me a few days to colour and so I have had to be clueing up in-between it all. The papers were all from my stash and I mounted it on Kraft too, just to fill in on the layers! 

I used a new die I have, purchased it from a friend on Facebook, It worked really well on the 8x8 card blank.  The letters were from my Quickutz alphabet, again not quiet sure what one - I forgot I had that till the other day when I tripped over it, Im not quite sure how it made itself to the middle of the room - it was like it was asking to be used!

From a small piece of paper I die up the smallest circle from my spellbinders and embossed it using a cuttlebug embossing folder, just so it looked like a golf ball! Well I hope you like my card - all in all I'm quite impressed! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;
