Guest DT Spot

Hello Bloggers

Ive been so excited waiting to do this post :)

The fab Treasured Times Stamps are running lots of different monthly comps on their Face Book group and I was lucky enough to be voted to be Guest Designer for November

If getting a Guest DT spot for the company wast enough I got to choose which one of their rubber stamps I wanted as my prize. That's where it got a bit tricky, all their stamps are gorgeous, but I picked 'Reindeer Friendship' by the amazingly talented Mi Ran Jung. I loved this stamp the minute I saw it and couldn't wait to get started on my project

Isn't this just the sweetest image ever

I coloured the image with Pro Markers and added glossy accents to the snowfall, reindeer's nose and their eyes to make them sparkle a little. I used Centura Pearl with a hint of Silver card from Crafters Companion to layer everything onto. The brown snowflake paper if from Marianne Design Arctic Winter pad and the blue snowflake one if from the Marianne Design Wintertime paper pad which I brought from Cuddly Buddly. The other beautiful paper is a 12x12 double sided Maja Design paper called '10th of December' and available at Live & Love Crafts which is also where I got the fabulous bark heart and the frantage I covered the white tree in (frantage is my new fave thing). The wooden snowflakes and paper reindeer were from my stash and I heat embossed them with clear cosmic shimmer powder. I used some die cuts from my stash to add some swirls and another of my new toys, the Embellishment Attic Bow Maker, to make the white organza double bow with a pearl buckle. The final touch was a string of white pearls along the bottom of the image.

I am so please with this project and even more please that Jody from Treasured Times Stamps likes it. I will definitely be making more cards using this sweet stamp

Fairy Magic

Hello Bloggers

I am sharing a card I made today using a gorgeous cute image from

All Dressed Up Stamps

She is called

Fairy Magic

and is one of the sweetest digi images I have seen 

I coloured her with my Pro Markers and having printed the image twice, I added the 2nd set of butterflies on top of the base ones and bent their wing to simulate them flying. The butterflies and her wings we glittered using clear Wink of Stella pen. The backing papers were from my stash and I added ultra fine glitter in red,green & blue to the trails from the butterflies. I used mini cream coloured flat back pearls on her bow, belt and the butterflies bodies and used a matching ribbon buckle on white organza ribbon to finish my card.

I hope you like my project today

CAS

Hi Bloggers

It's time to share my 2nd make for Digi Choosday and the challenge this week is

Clean And Simple 

I love CAS cards but it was very weird trying not to add too much when at the minute I am trying to get my head around making off-the-page cards :)

I don't think I did too bad a job

I used the so cute Ralph with Hat and coloured him with my Pro Markers. I added glossy accents to his beak and little black gems to his eyes. For some texture I used a spotty embossing folder and layered it onto burgundy card.

Pop over to the Digi Choosday blog and check out the fab makes from the rest of the DT

Cutie Christmas

Hi Bloggers

I'm sharing another of my DT makes for Cuddly Buddly and this one uses the cutest little reindeer stamp from the 'Cuddly Christmas Buddies' clear stamp set

I coloured the images with Pro Markers, used the gorgeous snowflake paper from the 'Pere Noel' pad along with the checked from the same pad. the sentiment is from a digi download sheet available here. I added some pearls and thin twine to finish my card off

Don't forget about the Cuddly Buddly Face Book page too where you can find loads of info on products, offers, sales and inspiration from all the DT

ooops I did it again!

Good Morning Bloggers

I'M NOW ON THE DESIGN TEAM FOR DIGI CHOOSDAY!!!!!

OK if the caps didn't tell you, I'm sooooo excited about this, never in my life did I think I would be posting this. I'm going to crack straight on and tell you about the challenge as the more I sit here and waffle on, the more excited I get again.

The theme for the challenge this week is

THANK YOU using WINTER COLOURS

When I saw it was a 'Thank You' challenge I immediately thought cute teddy bear or flowers so Etty Shy from the Winston collection was a perfect match for me.

I went with icy blues and silvers for my winter colours, and coloured with Pro Markers, added glossy accents to her nose and the flower centres. The flowers are also from the Winston collection and I added buttons & pearls from my stash

I shall be sharing a new Digi Choosday project with you every week featuring fabulous characters & images from Polka Doodles

Thank you for sharing my great news with me

Bling Baby Bling

Good Morning Bloggers

It's time for the next challenge at

PPinkydolls

As always its 'Anything Goes' and the twist this time is

ADD SOME BLING

OK before I show you my project I need to tell you something. In our little DT group I asked Chrishanthi if us girls could have a nickname, something like Ppinkies ....... and she said YES :D (wonder how the rest would feel about a Ppinkies tattoo)

So on with my make for this challenge

I used the super cute 'Kawaii Candy' for my card this week and coloured her with Pro Markers. The papers are from my stash, the sentiment I printed off and the stars are from my drawer of die cuts. Now onto my BLING, I added gems in a random pattern amongst the stars, the orange backing paper behind Kawaii Candy is so glittery its uber bling and the arrow I made myself by stamping onto orange card and covering with glossy accents

I hope you will come along and join in our fab challenge this time at Ppinkydolls and don't forget the Face Book page here where you will find out all the latest news and be able to share your makes

Bunny Christmas

Hi Bloggers

I'm sharing another Christmas card I've made with the cute stamps from

'Cuddly Buddly' 

This is one of the sweet stamps in the 'Toby Tumble & Robins' set and I coloured this with my Derwent Inktense pencils, love the soft effect the pencils have given. the papers are from my stash as is the velvet scalloped ribbon. I used 'Frosted Lace Stickles' on the snow and gems round the sentiment circle which is from a fab Cuddly Buddly digi sentiment sheet available here and only 99p for 24 circle sentiments.

Don't forget to pop over to the Cuddly Buddly Face Book page to keep up with the latest news and new products available
