Challenge 5 at Lemon Shortbread

Hi Bloggers

It's time for a new challenge at

and this time I used the super sweet image

Star Field Fairy - Butterfly Pixie

I coloured most of her with my ProMarkers as usual but I did her skin with Copics, trying to get back into them again. The papers are from my stash, the butterflies are made with an Xcut punch, lace from an amazing lady on FaceBook who sells the most gorgeous lace & ribbons. I finished the card off with a LOTV round sentiment stamp and some small gems

I can't wait to see all your fabulous creations in this times challenge, and don't forget to join the fun in our FaceBook group which you can find here

Christmas Pressie

Hi Bloggers

I'm sharing a project I made as a Guest Designer for 

BarneMix

using a great digi from Faery Ink called

The Artista

The theme was to make a gift for a friend, and its not a gift as such but I decorated a kraft bag for my crafty best friends Christmas pressies to go in

I coloured the image with my ProMarkers before fussy cutting her out. The papers were all from my stash and I hand sewed a border round them. I decided to attach some candy canes to the gift tag I stamped with a sentiment stamp so she would have a sweet treat too. I finished off with some Tattered Lace and Marianne die cuts

I hope you like my gift bag and that its inspired you on ideas of how to personalise your gift wrapping

Hello Bloggers

This is not a usual post for me as it's a mid challenge reminder for you all for Challenge 4 at Lemon Shortbread. Why a reminder post? Well I forgot to do my blog post for the start of the challenge, won't bore you with the details of why, so I thought I would do a reminder post instead

So here is my make, a non-traditional Christmas colours card using the cute

Christmas Kitty Cat Stocking

I coloured using my Spectrum Noir Pencils and added SnowTex and chunky glitter to the hat & stocking. The papers are from my stash and I finished off with a ticket sentiment & gems

You can still enter Challenge 4 here until 21.12.15 and be in with a chance of winning 3 fabulous Lemon Shortbread digi images

Non-Traditional Christmas Colours with SLS Lines

Hi Bloggers

Not long to go now, have you all got you shopping done and presents wrapped? Nope me neither lol

But I do have all my Christmas cards made & written on, and a lot of them fell into the theme of this times challenge at SLS Lines

Christmas - Non Traditional

For this card I went with kraft, grey & blue for my colours and used the beautiful Snow Queen image, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers were from my stash and I highlighted some areas using a blue foil and quickie glue pen. I added some clear glitter pen to her lips, necklace and snowflake tattoo

Again I used kraft card and went with brown and mint papers on this card, and coloured the image with ProMarkers in yellows,browns & mint greens. After tearing the paper edges I distressed with Bundled Twigs distress ink and did some hand sewing along the straight edges and around the stars. I added a tiny bit of sparkle by using a clear glitter pen on the zombies red eye, well you gotta have sparkle at Christmas

I hope you can join our challenge this time and look forward to seeing all your fab creations

More Sweet Treats

Hi Bloggers

It's time for the 3rd challenge from Lemon Shortbread and when I saw this cute image I knew I had to use it to make another chocolate gift

The super cute image is

Christmas Wreath Mouse

and I coloured it with ProMarkers and added gold Liquid Pearls to the sparkles. I put some of the chocolates into a bag, secured with blue & white twine and simply stuck the wreath onto the bag

If you pop over to the challenge blog here you will be able to check out the other makes from my fab DT teamies, and also enter the challenge with a chance to win 3 Lemon Shortbread images or an extra image of you win using one of our images

Christmas Sweetie

Hi Bloggers

So I expect a lot if not all of you are well on your way to being finished with all your Christmas makes and buys, well not me. Why is it kids get harder to buy for the older they get, and not only harder to buy for but more expensive. 

I always struggle for stocking fillers for my son, he is 19, but I still like to try and get some bits and some Christmas treats of some kind. When I saw these chocolate lollipops I thought they would be OK as a stocking filler and then I decided to jazz them up a bit with one of the new release images from SLSLines

Isn't she just fabulous! She is called Sugar Plum Fairy and I just love her. I love the fact she's not your normal cute & sparkly Christmas fairy and is actually really life-like

I coloured her with my ProMarkers and added clear Wink of Stella to her wings. I stuck a piece of ribbon to a strip of card and made a sleeve to go round the chocolate lollipops, then I stuck the fairy on top. A really simple way to make some plain-ish treats into something a it more special

I hope you like my make and will join us in our challenge this time which you can find here

Another Guest DT Spot :)

Hi Bloggers

My wonderful FaceBook friend asked me if I would like to do another Guest DT spot for her, this time using a Rick StDennis image called 

Morning on Valhalla

and the theme is Mixed Media

I decided to use my Smash! Book and do a layout using the fab image, which I coloured with my ProMarkers. I used 'love' related die cuts and some music note tissue paper, which then sparked the idea of doing some song titles that would match the image. I really enjoyed having fun with this image

You can find all the details of the challenge here and I hope you will all come and play along
