Now I don't know why I LOVE this theme so much, I kinda feel its a bit no thinking - specially when you keep it simple like Black and White ;) 

I just love xxx available here from the store :) she is so amazing to colour and so cute at the same time! She was coloured with copics 

W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, W8, W9

The star border has been cut on my cameo - the first time I tried this whole boarder thing and I have to say somewhat impressed with it! I think it will be used more and more :)

Please allow me to introduce 

'Toadstool Taylor' 

Now can you see why?!?! Yes the wings for a start - she has butterfly wings!! (Amelia sure is following in Mummys footsteps with fluttering!) and the ballet shoes!  She just makes me think of what Miss A would do all the time given half the chance!! 

I coloured the image with copics; 

E000, E00, E02,

E50, E51, E53

R20, R22

I added liquid pearls around the edge of her leotard and to the spots on her wings.   The pearl flourish is from That Craft Place - I just love the TCP line! The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - I'm slowly ploughing through my stash!

Sparkler Ellie

Morning all - busy busy times at the moment, all is happening so fast!

Anyway hope your all well! Im so excited to be here today to be sharing this project with you - its something a bit different for me.  I just fell head over heals for Sparkler Ellie when I saw her on the new release at The Paper Nest Dolls - you can purchase her here in the shop - You will see why I love her - her face is just SOOOO cute!!

Then I had this idea of making something special for my certain little lady who will turn 6 in just a few days time - she loves to sit and draw - you should see some of the notes we get at the moment!!! So what would be better than her own personalised notebook! 

I just LOVE how she has turned out - Im so in love with her hair! The image was coloured with copics

E000, E00, E02, R20

E31, E33, E35

R81, R83, R85

YG03, YG17, YG67

Y04

I also used some of the beautiful MME Collections 'Memories' 6x6 paper stack, Im so head over heals for this set - once I had cut it to size I distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Tea Dye ink pad - I seem to be using that lots at the moment!  The ruffled ribbon is from my stash - I seem to have a stack of it at the moment!  I also had to use some of the lovely Swirly Pearls from Prima, They are just so gorgous, just wish I could locate them in the UK!  You may have also noticed the additional A - yep cut using the cameo - just felt it made it more personal for Miss A!

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

Crafty Sentiments - Girl Power
Inky Chicks - Anything Goes
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Well thank you for stopping by, I do hope if you have a moment you will let me know what you think! See you again soon

Just words....

This is one of todays creations... I couldn't think of a sentiment for it, and so a rather boring title.... I think this is one that Amelia wants to send for valentines day... she needs three cards so she tells me (yes my daughter has three boyfriends?!?)... Well I have news for her, I will make one and she can make the rest! 

Well I'm making cards just cause I can't do much else at the moment, were still having a lot of work done on the house, and I can't have the kids here when we have the men in, and so I'm making the most of the time and 'practising' as I'm calling it! Im loving it, I can clutter the whole lounge up at the moment!! I can't wait to get the craft room done! It now has had the walls skimmed and it has a light switch! So much still to be done in there before I can plan how I want it! 

This is the beautiful Nevaeh from Saturated Canary, isn't she just stunning, I love colouring her... the detail on her dress is amazing!! I have used a new colour combo today for colouring her dress R29, R27, R22, R20.  So happy with how she has turned out! 

 Her hair was coloured using E35, E33 and E31.  Her skin was the usual suspects E02, E00, E000 and R20 for her cheeks, I used R02 for her lips.  The bottoms of her shoes were coloured using C-7.   Im not sure if you can see in the above phot but I have tried adding some 'dots' around her rather than shading.  I just used a mix of the pens that had been used to colour her.  Quite impressed for a first attempt! 

Im still trying to give my idea of 'collaging' my pictures down, just feel it makes the post a bit lighter for you?! If you have any opinions on it let me know! Would love to hear what you think! 

As you can see from the picture of her dress (Top Left) I have added some liquid pearls to her dress, the picture doesn't do it justice - It looks better on the real thing! You can also see the dots around her a bit more, I added some liquid pearls there too!! I used E35 to colour her eyes! The ribbon and papers are just rom my stash.  Oh how i 'dislike' tying ribbons! 

Well I hope you like her! I would like to enter her into the following challenges; 

 Belli Challenge - Hearts/ Valentines

Divas By Design - Anything goes

Inky Impression - Pearls or Bling (her skirt has liquid pearls on)

More Than Favors - Love
Saturated Canary - Pink, Red and White
Make It Crafty - Shading Red

Well I hope you will come back soon! Thanks for stopping by!
