Introducing Lollypie!

Since joining the lovely Maria's DT I've been having a blast with her range of Lollypie digis.

This card uses 'Special delivery'. She usually sits on a present but I snipped the gift away so that she could sit in the cut-out instead.

 

 My second project is a very simple doorhanger and uses the adorable 'Nerdy'.  Isn't she a cutie?

 

I coloured her with Promarkers and then used pencils. I got all inky with the background and didn't worry if I went over the image a little bit as I like the effect. The hanger was made by stretching the round-ended rectangle shape that you'll find in Microsoft word. A little cutting with my Cuttlebug and it was job done.

 

BTW, if you head over to Maria's Blog before November 1st you'll find she has a Lollypie giveaway going on.

 

Have a happy day everyone!

Pink!

Hurray, the half-term holiday has begun and I'm planning on only leaving my craft space to eat and sleep!

I noticed that the current challenge over at I {heart} Promarkers is for pink hair. I'd already decided that this little cutie would have a funky look so decided that pink would be perfect. This digi was a freebie from somewhere but I can't remember where. If anyone can help I'll edit and add the details later.

The Promarker DT girls have done an amazing job, and their colouring skills once again leave me open-mouthed in wonder! How I wish I could colour like they do, I think those ladies have magic ink in their Promarkers.

Hope you all have a great weekend, happy crafting everyone!

I have news...

The lovely Maria (aka Lollyrot) asked me to join her DT and I had to think for about a nano-second before replying 'YES PLEASE!'

Her adorable new range of digital stamps called Lollypie are super cute, and great fun to work with!
Maria is having a giveaway at the moment. To enter all you have to do is leave a comment telling her your TOP 3 favorite digi stamps from the new collection.  The lucky winner will get 2 digi stamps! Just make sure to comment before November 1st.

Happy crafting everyone!

The big 12!

Don't you just love Krista's gorgeous digital images? I find it very hard to resist them, especially when I'm in the mood to colour.
This is Tammy Pie and as you can see she is just perfect to stand alongside that giant paper pieced number twelve. I'm trying to use up some of my older paper pads (and not just hoard them) so I broke out Basic Grey's lovely 'Bittersweet' papers. I printed the numbers and then cut them out... simples.
The weather is horrible right now so I feel a little more card making coming on!

Happy crafting everyone!

A Messy Marilyn!

Hi there Blogland, I'm sorry I've been AWOL again. Work has been super busy, and also my Dad has just had surgery. Hopefully he is on the mend now, but you can't help but worry can you?!!

I nearly decided not to show this card as I'm not loving it very much. Don't be surprised if my next post is titled something like 'a makeover for Marilyn'. There's just too much splodgy stamping.

 

Just a quick query but has anyone else lost all their Blogger follower icons? Mine have all vanished... and its kinda lonely without all your lovely smiling faces to greet me when I log on. Any thoughts you might have would be most welcome.

So have a happy weekend everyone, I hope it brings you lots of crafty fun!
