Paper Nest Dolls - US Team

Morning all, so sorry its been so quiet, we still on the 'lead up' to the wedding!! Not long now!

Anyway I'm here today with the next challenge over at The Paper Nest Dolls US, I can't quite believe how the weeks are flying by! We had some wonderful entries last week, thank you to everyone that joined us, please pop to the blog to see the winner and top three, I know the team had a tough time choosing!!! 

So this week we have the new challenge staring and its the theme you all love….  

'Anything Goes' 

This week I have a card I have made for Miss A to take to a party next week - the little one that its going to is very very in love with her Disney Princesses, and so this image was just perfect.  please allow me to introduce to you Genie Avery available here in the store 

Now I coloured her up a few days ago and in all the 'wedding stuff' I appear to have 'disposed' of my notes from colouring her.  The 'Just for You' is a stamp from LOTV and the Name is cut on the cameo. The roses are from a die I have, I have rolled them very tightly.  The swirls are also a Die,  All in all I do love the finish on this card! 

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

Special day

Good Morning! I can't believe how terribly quiet my blog has been from me this year - I think its somewhat embarrassing!!! BUT I have so much to do in a very short space of time and all I want to do is all I shouldn't be doing - thats about typical!!! 

So Im here today to share with you a card I made for a commission a while back - I just LOVE this image from Lala Land - she is so adorable and she was lovely to colour!

Once again this is another that I thought I had shared but I didn't and so here she is now - The image was coloured with copics

E000, E00, E)2, R20

B95, B95

R25

E31, E33

T3, T5

E33, E35, E37

The papers were all from my stash - and the bow was cut using a dynamics die I have stashed away! I used my quickutz alphabet to cut the name in Silver miri card! 

Well I hope you like her! I think she came out pretty cute, I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

New Challenge Blog!

Morning all - I do apologise for how quiet it has been over here - I have not stopped if its not been trying to catch up with getting things ready for Christmas its been school events then poor Miss A had Chicken Pox and today Miss N has started too :( - but I think I'm finally getting back on the ball now… so I'm here to share with you today something that has been in the pipeline since Novemeber - 

A good friend of mine and I were chatting and we decided that we wanted to take the plunge and open a new challenge blog - we have worked very hard behind the scenes trying to get it all together - I know there are still a few bits that need tweaking but I think they are all bits that need to be done along the way!  We have a fabulous team of talented crafters to join us so I hope you will stop by and see them all!!! 

So here we are today with our first challenge over at Creative Creations Challenges! 

We have a wonderful sponsor for our first challenge and that is

The wonderful Lisa is offering the winner a surprise gift from the store…..

Ohhh so wish I could be in with a change - Lisa is fab for products and delivery! Anyway onto the challenge  - we have kept this one nice and easy for you all - 

Anything Goes! 

So onto my creation, OK I admit i did make this a while back and so I'm not going to be able to list too many products that I used :)

The image is from Saturated canary - This is the first time I have coloured this little lady up and I loved every minute of it! She was coloured with copics and I used some of my lovely papers from my stash, 

I also used a few of my lovely dies cuts - one thats got to be the favourite of 2013 so far and thats the Dienamics I purchased this set from That Craft place and I LOVE them! The papers are all ones from my forever mounting stash! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Get Well Soon

Morning! Yes I have been so quiet this last week - still in pain with my teeth, they are not as bad but I am still having problems with one side - and they have now told me that I will need to have my wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthetic - SO not looking forward to that - all I know is that it 'should' be in the next 18 weeks :(  

Anyway I'm not here to talk about me! As you can imagine I have found it hard to find time to craft partly due to lack of sleep - but also as it hurts to look down.  I have been doing little bits here and there as that is all I have been able to do - so things have been very simple! 

Anyway one thing that I have managed to do is to make a get well card for a friend of mine - she was rather poorly and we were all worried about her.  So I made her a card - I didn't want it to scream 'Get Well Soon' as sometimes I don't think its what people want.  So I went rather plain and simple

The image is Sarah Kay 'Spring is Back' available here.  I completely forgot that I had this stamp stashed away - it was only because I purchased one a few weeks back that I started looking in my stash and came across her!  She was coloured with copics - due to 'the teeth' I haven't been taking many notes of what I'm using!  

I die cut the image using a spellbinders Lacey Ovals available here.  I have to say that I think this set of dies was one of the best purchases of 2012! I LOVE them and they just make such a difference to any creation!   

The butterfly is die cut from Die-namics Butterfly Die available here.  Again this is another of my favourite dies at the moment, I have boxes with these pre cut so I they are ready when I want them! 

Well I hope you like my card! while I remember I still have candy running and would love for as many of you as possible to join in, please take a look here.  There are more bits added - just not had time to take the photo - there are now two rubber stamps as well as an ink pad and all that you see - and if I make it to 250 followers a gift voucher will also be included!!! So please take a look! 

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

Love

Morning! what a shocking morning, after being in winter socks yesterday I am shocked to say that today I am wearing a summer dress... yes the sun has come out! I can't quite believe it myself! I thought I had been abducted this morning when I got up! 

Anyway I have been on a bit of a roll recently! Quite enjoying trying new things when colouring and colouring images that I never thought I could or would - and I have actually used a rubber stamp! Yes, another shock! I was quite scared as its been so long since I have used a clear stamp and well... it turned out kinda well! 

This is a beautiful new stamp from Sarah Kay, I have always loved her images but never been confident enough to colour them... in the past i have had her stamps and sold them on without even using them... but this one is different...

They are just the cutest couple ever! I struggled to find a nestie to fit them, I seem to have more square than round, must change that! The image was coloured using copics and the papers are from Prima Sun Kissed 6x6 stack.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - (I'm slightly obsessed at the moment) the butterflies are cut using Die-namics Butterflies die.  The lace and rhinestones are just from my stash, the edges of the image were bruised with Tim Holtz Old Paper DI. 

Just had to share a close up of the image, so happy with her dress and his trousers, I can't wait to colour this image again! I hope you like it as much as I do, I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;
