Snow Mouse

Hello crafters hope you are well today and if not then I hope tomorrow will be better. I have been adding to my Christmas card pile this week and have an easel card to share with you today.

Snow Mouse was coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut to sit in front of the mirri snowflake. The papers were free with a magazine (last autumn I suspect!) and the icicles are in fact a grass die!! The sentiment is included in the set among others too.

I am joining in here

Hello crafters, 'tis me again with a card, that I have forgotten to share, showcasing another Buddly Crafts digi image. 

I decided on a CAS style for this little puss coloured with Promarkers. The Just Because is from a set and was just right for sending some love to a dear friend.

I'm trying my luck at these challenges

Top Tip GDT

Hello lovely people of blogland. Thank you for coming to see me today.

 I can't lie, I am super excited to have been invited to be Guest Designer at Top Tip Tuesday so a HUGE thank you to Samantha for asking me!! A new challenge is starting today and

It's all about the hair colour.

 Those of you who have been visiting for a while will know that I don't "do" hair very often or should I say hair that needs definition. Anyway not one to buckle under the stress I chose the beautiful, yet challenging, Aurora Floral Kiss  and this is the result.

Using Promarkers I coloured her and the seam binding to match the paper .

 I used Diamond stickles and my Stardust Gelly roll pen to add a little bling to her pretty floral headdress

Part of my duties are to include a tip and here is one that I use every time I colour.

Whenever I buy a new paper pad/digi collection I get out my Promarkers and make a swatch and write the names of the colours that are the best match and stick it to the cover. In the case of a digi collection I write it in a little note book that I have for the purpose. I  then prepare a couple of card layouts so that when the time comes all I have to do is colour up the chosen stamped image using my colour guide. It means that there is no hunting around for suitable papers or colour matches after colouring your image and you will always have a perfect match.

I would like to enter these challenges

I just could not resist this little darling from Digistamp Boutique and used Promarkers to colour her.

Your favourite time

Hello, hello!! The weekend is within touching distance and today

As You Like It 

have a new challenge starting and the theme is......

Your favourite Decade/Time in your life, a project that reflects a memorable event or time in your life  and don't forget to tell us why when you link up

It's the 60's for me!! I don't advertise the fact but I was born in the 1960's and have a real love for the music of that time including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Bee Gees and the like and I am lucky enough to have lots of old 45's in my record collection.
The fashion of that time also interests me hugely and I have vivid memories of certain outfits that my Mum used to wear when I was a littley!! 

As you can see I used my fabulous stepper die (again!!) this time layering the mats in a different way. The groovy little lady is Faye who was coloured with Promarkers. The papers are VERY old Creative Expressions Foundations.

This shows the layers and dimension. The speech bubbles are "Say what" and the stamps from Paper Smooches.

Lashings of stickles and a beautiful aqua bow to finish it off.

Hope you will take the time and join us!!
