A little bit of love…… <3

Good evening guys …. well it is your resident blonde here. Oh yes, I have really done it this time. I am here with my DT card for Sundays with Crissy where our theme is Birthdays! Now you may notice that my card looks more like a Valentines’ card and who could blame you. All I can say is I have been on nights for the past 2 weeks and I didn’t check what the theme was before I made my card. I think I just got so excited at this gorgeous ‘Cute Cupid’ digi by Crissy and just had to get all inky!

Isn’t he adorable!!!!! All I can say is that I love my hubster every single day and therefore it is more than suitable for his birthday card …. honest <3

I have coloured my image with my trusty copics and added just a little stickles to his wings ….. even cherubs need a little bling!

 

A little bling to the flowers too which are from Wild Orchid Crafts – ordered a load more last night …. love their pearls and blooms.

Ok, so I dare say I can enter this for a few challenges so here goes…….

Touched by Love

Hello and welcome to my turn on Sunday's with Crissy. I hope you are all managing to keep warm and are enjoying the build up to the festive season. Our theme this month is nice and easy ....... ANYTHING GOES. All you need to do is use one of Crissy's images - either digis or rubber stamps are fine, just be creative and have fun.

I have used this beautiful digi which is called Touched by Love and is available from Whimsy Stamps. Apologies for the dark picture - I will take a new one in the morning and replace it on here for you all.

I have cut up a bit more of that gold mesh I found, I love it … it is going to be on so many of my cards, lol. Dug out my charms too – not used these in ages but might get back into using them. Think I need to have a good sort out of my stash, I have no idea what I have anymore, there is just so much now.

A closer look at the gorgeous image ...... she was such a joy to colour. I have been trying new colours for hair and I am quite pleased with how this turned out. She took ages to colour but I am happy with the results so that is all that counts isn’t it.

I have made an A5 card so it is quite large for me. Have you seen the Pick of the Week on Create and Craft ….. Crafter’s Companion have some fab products to help you make enveloboxes and boxes up to 12 x 12 in size – OMG I think we all need one don’t you!!!!!

Ok, almost time for dinner – catch up later in the week xxx

Birdie Friend ……x

Hi there, me again and this time I have a really gorgeous new image to share with you all. I have just fallen in love with this sweet image by Crissy Armstrong. Here is this months DT card for Sundays with Crissy – our theme is Friendship!

This little beauty is called Birdie Friend and is available from Whimsy Stamps. 

Isn’t she adorable!!!

The gorgeous papers are Summer Breeze by First Edition and are as sparkly as you can get ….. scrum! The little sentiment is by Whiff of Joy and seemed perfect for this image. I was very brave and stamped it on after I had coloured the image ….. thank goodness it was straight!

Did you all manage to get your Christmas Humphrey from Ideal World????? Crafter’s Companion have come up trumps again ……if not get over to  the website to get yours if you missed out …… they are seriously cute!

Have a great evening – bed for me soon, got another busy day at work tomorrow xxx

Whimsy Inspirations GDT – Anything goes with a sentiment!

Here I am back again and I am so excited about this post. I was asked if I would be Guest Designer for this week on Whimsy Inspirations Challenge – I am so thrilled because I am their first GDT. I love their stamps and it was really tough choosing what to use but how could I not fall in love with this gorgeous stamp called “Nose to Nose’ by the mega talented Crissy Armstrong.

The theme this week is Anything Goes with a Sentiment and there is a fab prize up for grabs - $15 gift certificate to spend at Whimsy Stamps Online Store.

I have used my speccies to colour this today and the yummy papers are from Tracy at Dies to Die For and they are available ‘here’

Even more exciting news ..... Sundays with Crissy

Hi guys, oh my, what a month August is proving to be. Can you believe I have even more amazing news to share. I am over the moon to be able to share with you that the fabulous and talented Crissy Armstrong asked me to join her DT over on Sundays with Crissy!!!!! Like, oh my word, I have loved her images and stamps for as long as I have been crafting so I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have been asked. Anyway, of course I said YES!!!!!!

Please pop over to Sundays with Crissy to find out all about this months challenge .... and this really was a challenge for me ......

K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stamper

I am finding it so hard not to put some flowers and gems all over this card but I have been good and kept it to a minimum (for me, lol)

The gorgeous paper was a real bargain that I picked up yesterday from The Range ..... and was just over a pound for 20 A4 sheets .... so pretty. I also picked up a couple of pretty paper packs for only 2 pounds each - well, it would be rude not to wouldn't it :o)

I really adore this image so much. She is one of Crissy's brand new images which is available from Whimsy Stamps and it is called 'Forget me not' ........ isn't she just gorgeous!

I have used the yummy new Spectrum Noir pens to colour this with - I am so impressed with them, I only used the packs of 6 for the whole card so I cannot wait til I have all the others too. It just shows how great the colours have been selected to get such lovely shading. A lady at Slimming World asked me what the rainbow things were that I kept talking about on my facebook .... after a couple of minutes I realised she meant my speccies ..... not bad when a non crafter is showing an interest too :o)


Spectrum Noirs


Yellow 33, 35, 37, 38, 45
Green 42, 48, 163, 175
Pink 86,88, 147
Skin 132, 133, 135, 142, 196
Essential 109
Brown 100

I have been asked what I used for her hair, well it was only 2 colours - I used 109 and 100 .... hope that helps xxx
