"V" for Very Cute

I am guesting again at ABC Christmas Challenge and the letter this time is

"V" for Very Cute

Here is what I came up with 

The sponsor is Zlatoena and as I have some of her images in stamp form decided to use one of them. This guy is Define Good and he was coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Lawn Fawn Snow Day. There was a liberal sprinkling of glamour dust for a snowy effect too.

Winter wishes

Hello folks. Hopefully you have had an enjoyable weekend. We were given an "Afternoon Tea" for a gift last Christmas and finally got around to enjoying the experience yesterday...yum...after which we walked it off around Clark's Village and managed not to spend any money, except in the Lindt shop!!

Mucking out burned off those calories this morning!!

Anyway, I am here to share an easel card with a difference, as on first glance it's a gatefold card.

However, when you open it up, it does this!!

 Now, I was one of the very lucky winners of Darnell's most recent NBUS Challenge and this is the first outing for one of the stamp sets I chose from Bunny Zoes. I love this TGF set which has lots of components (and will think of you whenever I use it Darnell!!) . I coloured the polar bear with SN pencils for a change to contrast the pretty LOTV papers. The snowflakes were made using Tonic Studios Forever Moments clay and a push out cutter that I picked up in the cake decorating section in Hobbycraft. When they were dry I used dries clear glue and sprinkled tons of glamour dust on the top.

I think I could have put a few more snowflakes inside but thought perhaps it wouldn't tie quite so neatly. Anyway there are some challenges that suit this card so I am off to play at

Have a lovely evening xx

Pastel or bright??

Hello crafty peeps, me again with a DT card for 

As You Like It Challenge

and the question this time is

BRIGHT or PASTEL

It will come as no surprise that it's largely brights for me. Why? Because they suit the style of images that I enjoy colouring. Like this one!!

The image is a digi from Pollycraft (now closed) coloured with Promarkers. The paper is from Doodlebug Designs and that's it!!

I'm off to join in at these challenges

Swinging Friends

A while back I was lucky enough to win a challenge at Little Miss Muffet and chose this little darling as part of my prize.

My blogging buddy Annette has a love of cats so this digi was the perfect choice for her Birthday card this year. I used LOTV Perfect Pair for the card base and, as usual, coloured the image to match.

Tag...you're it!!

Hello blogging buddies, me again!! This time to share some gift tags that I made using the brilliant Mama elephant stamp set called No Peeking.

They were really quick to do so I made rather a lot of them in the hope that they will sell at the next local Craft Fair. If they don't then at least I will have my own Christmas tags done and dusted!! 

The cute animals were coloured with Promarkers to coordinate with the cardstock and twine and I stickled the edges for a bit of Christmas bling!!
