M.I.A

Hello Bloggers

I wanted to do this post so you won't think I've been abducted by Santa's elves.

I've a few health issue's at the moment & can't craft so you won't see much happening here for a while. Hopefully I will be back in my craft room in the new year.

I want to wish you all a

Merry Christmas

&

Happy New Year

See you all in 2014

Fasten Your Seatbelts

Thats the name of the new release at

this week

I coloured her with pro markers and decided to keep her quite simple. I used plain blue, red and white card and did faux stitching. 

Having never flown I asked my daughter what airline crew say to you, she told me they point out where the important things are. So thats how I got the 'here' greeting :)

Happy Crafting

Merry Mistletoe

Hiya Bloggers

I'm back with this weeks New Release from

The Stamping Chef

I love this image and I think she is just perfect for those special male cards

Don't Pout, Just Kiss

I coloured her with skin with copics and the rest with pro markers, added glossy accents to her lips and icicle stickles on her shoes and the pompoms on her leg warmers

The red backing paper is from DoCrafts 12 days of Christmas collection, backed on pine green card. The present paper is from my stash along with the gold ribbon and flat back pearls. The 'Joy' sentiment stamp is from the Whimsy 'Holiday Mini Postage Stamps' set and the 'Christmas Kisses' stamp was from a magazine freebie set

If you head over to TSC store this weekend you can get this fab digi with 20% off

Bella Fairy

'Bella Fairy'

is the name of this beautiful digi from

Kith & Kin Digital Stamp Co.

and I would like to share my take on her with you

Again she was one of the images I took on holiday with me to colour, I decided to keep her very simple and pastel. I coloured her with my pro markers and then once home I found some pretty pink backing paper with a daisy/doily pattern on. I coloured a plain white doily with pastel coloured chalks to match the images and the flowers I had picked out to use. I added flat backed pearls to the flower centres and the corners of the card. The wings I made super sparkly with Smooch Glitz.

Sparkle & Shine

Hello Bloggers

I have to apologize that my post today is late, I've been in bed on and off for the past 4 weeks not feeling great and didn't manage to get my post scheduled for today, sorry

BUT

Its another challenge at

Creative Creations Challenges

and this time the challenge is

SPARKLE & SHINE

and we are sponsored by the brilliant

Saturated Canary

I used 'Maxine the Florist' and coloured her with pro markers. I added glossy accents to her lips, glasses and the flower jug. The backing papers were from my stash, as were the flowers which I used brads and flat back gems as their centres. I layered the flowers over 2 'Marianne Design Creatables Branch Forest' die cuts that i cut from floral and spotty papers

I cant wait to see all you interpretations of the challenge

Happy Crafting

Mirror Mirror .......

....... on the wall

This weeks New Release at The Stamping Chef is just brilliant

I coloured her with pro markers and white gel pen, added clear glitz glam to the mirror and used a black glitter sakura on the mirror frame. I used a quite detailed paper so just used black co-dinations to matt it onto. The leaves & swirls are cut from purple mulberry & black linen paper using Marianne Design Branch Forrest die

You can get 20% off Mirror Mirror for this weekend only here

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Screw You!

Noooooooooooo I'm not being nasty or abusive, that's the name on this weeks New Release at The Stamping Chef

As soon as I saw her I knew she would be perfect for the dreaded male card, why do I struggle making men's cards, it does my head in

So she was coloured with pro markers and I used papers from my stash. The sentiment I stamped using some small wooden alphabet stamps, and yes I wanted it to look wonky. I added some buttons and a spanner charm to give a bit of embellishment but not too OTT

If you buy her this weekend you will get a fantastic 20% off the price but only for the weekend, so what are you waiting for

Happy Crafting
