AYLI - Favourite Occasion

Hello Friends, not long until the weekend now (although mine has already started!!).

It being Thursday I am here with my DT card for

where our new challenge for you is to share a project for a favourite occasion.

Mine happens to be a cute card for a female Birthday, particularly if it's to fulfill an order as it means that  a) I can stretch my creativity and b) use up some of my ever growing stash.

I won this adorable Little Miss Muffet digi in a LMM challenge a while back and coloured her with Promarkers to match the (quite delicious 15 x 30cm) paper pad that I picked up in The Range. Her lolly was stickled for a bit of texture and a little bit of spotted ribbon to finish off.

I am entering these challenges

Allsorts #351 - Birthday Wishes
Creative Fingers #103 - Anything Goes
Graph It colour challenge #7 - Spring Greens
The Ribbon Girl - February Use any image
Little Miss Muffet #132 - Anything Goes

Thanks for your visit xx

Leila and Teddy

A week or two ago I "had" to buy an image from a new digital stamp shop, Sasayaki Glitter that was showcased by the fabulous Aussie Annie. Well, what do you know...I am now the newest member of the Inspiration Design Team, so a huge thank you to Annie for championing my creative skills and a huge thank you to Naz and Kel for listening to her and inviting me along for the journey, I shall much enjoy colouring these cuties and sharing them with blog land!!

Anyway here is my debut card, the super cute Leila and Teddy. 

I used one of Jules' sketches as my starting point and wanted bright colours so the Pebbles paper pad was perfect. Little Leila and her teddy were coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment was cut from one of the papers.

If you pop over to the blog you will find not only is the first monthly challenge, Valentine's Day/Love is still open until 3rd March, but  that there are also some fantastic inspiration posts and links to the Facebook Group, you are sure to get a warm welcome!!

I am playing here

Ellibelles Liky Party #3 - Anything Goes + something coloured

A heart full of joy

Happy Sunday everyone. Well, the Birthday celebrations are over, as my waistband can testify!! We enjoyed a delicious family lunch out yesterday and I still have treats to come by way of Beauty/Hair Treatment and Shopping Gift Cards, so I shall save those for now. Thank you for your good wishes, cards and pressies, you are such a lovely lot!!

Anyway, I managed a bit of crafty time last night and as I have deviated a little from my Christmas Card Plan decided to rectify that by making this...

This is my first Your Next Stamp stamp set, I was so impressed with the quality it definitely won't be my last. I have looked at fabulous examples of colouring on Kraft so decided to have a go myself using my SN pencils, without blending solution this time. I was relatively pleased with the effect and will be having another play in the future. I made a sparkly heart to give a bit of life to the flat CAS style, using a long forgotten MB die.

Here are some challenges

ABC Christmas - D = Don't overdo it!!

Winter Wonderland - CAS

Crafty Catz - CAS

Sweet Stampin - Glitter and Sparkle

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards #103 - Anything Goes

ABC challenge - B...you pick (Bunny, bow, bird)

Enjoy your Sunday and if you haven't already left a comment on my Birthday Post below please remember to do so for the chance of  a "spend" at dies to die for!!

Take Care xx

A Birthday Present from me to you

Hello friends and I hope you are having as good a day as me...

It's my (Golden) BIRTHDAY today

and because I can't share any cake with you, I am offering one of you the chance to have a spend,  on me, at

 to thank you for your continued support and inspiration. 

Being the technophobe that I am I couldn't work out the link thing so instead just leave me a comment before the 29th...simple as that... then I will draw a name from the hat, so to speak.

Good Luck!! xx

Have a good day xx
