What a cutie!

Hi lovely friends hope you had a fun weekend,

I know I did, my lovely sister Jac, had been to stay for a few days. Postie brought me some scrummy stash on Friday,  so we got to play with some of the brand new stamps from Lily of the Valley and created this gorgeous little gift basket, thanks Jac for cutting the papers for me and decorating the inside, mwha X

If you would like to make one too, the template is by the wonderfully talented Randi Thorson she has some beautiful creations not to be missed.

This little cutie is 'Birthday Fairy' so pretty and a dream to colour.

The copics used: Skin E000 E00 R20 Hair E50 E53  Clothes B00 BG10 G20 G21 Y000

Wings B00 B32 BG10

Bear R00 R20 + 0  Present Y000 E50 B00

I've  had the double sided DP for such a long time it's called Butterfly Bouquet and I used both sides.

Pearls and brads from The Hobbyhouse and ribbon from Hobbycraft

The scrummy flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts 

I used star dust stickles around the edges of the paper

and on the little fairy.

The basket opens on both sides.

 

Randi made hers with two acetate windows

I cut a small oval nestie to make the tag and the sentiment is from Woodware, 'Tiny Phrases' stamp set.

 Wouldn't it make a gorgeous easter basket!!

My first creation for Teddy Stampers Challenge # Easter

Good Morning  hope you're all tickety boo!!

I'll find it  really easy to remember my first DT creation, as it's our grandaughters 3rd birthday today.

Here is my DT  Easter Basket for the Teddy Stampers Challenge Blog.

This basket is so adorable and so easy to make, there is a tutorial to follow here.

Our team members hope to be doing some tutorials for you soon and finding others that you can link to.

The gorgeous star of today is Coco a digi ted from Digi Stamp Boutique if you hurry you might just catch the offer of the month. He also comes with some cute friends as you can see in the first photo.

I coloured my images with copics and promarkers.

Really must try to write down which colours I used,

 (note to myself for next time)

There's a brilliant tutorial for colouring bears over at the Lily of the Valley challenge blog here

My double sided designer paper is by Making Memories. I bought it from Whichcraftuk, they have one very similar but not the one I used.

Nestability ovals and a punch for the little butterflies. The doylie punch by Martha Stewart, don't ya just love her punches, the hardest job with them is choosing one!!

Come along and join in the fun and show us your Easter creation with your favourite teddy on.

ALL BEARS WELCOME

Just a reminder your creation must include at least one  Stamped or digi teddy bear image.

 I'm so looking forward to visiting your lovely blogs.

Check out the creations from  my lovely team members!!

Enjoy your day thanks for stopping by,

Love Cherie   //*.*\\

Just Magnolia Special Monthly Challenge Easter Basket

Hi, Welcome, happy Wednesday,

The Just Magnolia Monthly Challenge is to make an Easter basket, bag or box to hold  yummy goodies.
I've decorated a bag  from a die cut which can be obtained from Which Craft. As I want to do another challenge with the bag I used it as a template and cut one out.  I printed the inside of the card first using the fabulous cd Spring from Wild Rose Studio. This cd has  fabulous backing papers in amazing design and colours that print sooooo lovely.

Items used:

• Die cut bag
• Magnolia stamps: Tilda with rabbit, Edwin with chicken, waggon, bench, tulips.
• Ink, Momento tuxedo black
• Copic pens
• Background: chalk
• CD
• Ribbon from Which Craft

Enjoy your day, thank you so much for looking.
Love Cherie  //*.*\\
