Poser....

Well good evening my fellow bloggers and well after today's post over at Sugar Nellie...thought I would rustle up another...lol...anyway it's the first day of my holidays from work and it's peeing down so needed to cheer myself up. I thought I would really do this card for the Facebook challenge although I am not that good at funky hair....think I need more tips!! The papers are Love Letters from Little Yellow Bicycle....which are gorgeous and I thought match the image well. The stamp is of course Strike a Pose from Sugar Nellie and I coloured her with copics. I have added a few flowers and lace.

Birthday girl....

Another one I have had ready to go...I made this card at my class on Wednesday...not sure if her dress matches the card tough!! The papers are from MME - Stella Rose collection. The stamp is of course Stardust from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with promarkers. The flowers have been cut with my MFT flowe die-namic die. I added pearls to the centres of the flowers with a pearl pen and the finished with some twine and a message.

Luvvy skater girl...

Well hi all..I was going to schedule this post for tomorrow but what the heck, I will just post it now as I will be too busy at lunchtime tomorrow to do all the linky thingy....but on the bright side it's my Friday tomorrow....yay!! Made this card tonight ...the papers are MME - Beloved and the stamp is from Sugar Nellie - Simply Sassy Skater Girl which I coloured with copics. I cut out the hearts with a sizzix die and layered them onto the card and added some flowers and a message. I'm not too sure about the flowers though...maybe they would look better without the spirals..hey ho it's done now!!

Another Happy Birthday....

This is just a quickie....I received my new promarkers today which I won over at Passion for Promarkers...a whopping 40 pens to add to my very little collection...now I won't need to steal Holly's promarkers...hee hee!! so anyway since I had so many to choose from I thought I better test them out so I inked up this little Hippie Chick from Sugar Nellie which you can buy here. I gave her some freckles too...The papers are from Stampin' Up - Sweet pea collection...the colour is bit iffy but I will take another in daylight but for now here it is.

Birthday girl...

Well it's almost the end of another year but first there's cards to be made!! This wasn't what I started out making but I just love these little Gorjuss Girls. I have coloured the image with copics, cut her out and layered her onto an embossed oval. the papers are Crate Papers - Pink Plum collection...forgot I had them. I made the roses with my sizzix 3D flower die and added a birthday message....oh and I also added some stickles to the flowers and the edge of the dress...might re take the photo in daylight.

Puppy Dog Tails...

This is the kind of thing my brother would have been up to when he was little!! The image is from Sugar Nellie - Puppy Dog Tails, which has been coloured with copics and then I have added a touch of shading with waterpencils and the papers are from Kaisercraft - Jungle Bug Collection.

Sweet Little Manga..

Hi all...I have my main PC back...woo hoo!! I shouldn't really say to much incase that is tempting fate. Anyway on to todays card...the papers are new and are from...will need to go and check as I have just forgotten...oh yes Fancy Pants - It's Your Day collection, I thought the oranges, reds and yellows in this set looked quite autumny even though they have flowers on them. My little Manga has been coloured with copics but I did have a bit of a mishap with her..so I needed to paper piece her face...I think it looks ok and to finish I have touched up with glitter. I followed the sketch over at The sugar Bowl..very challenging with all those layers...hope you like!! Is anybody else's dashboard all weird looking??

It's Autumn...

Well I am not happy as this virus is not for shifting from my PC so still using Michael's laptop...nightmare!! I have spent most of the afternoon making this card...think I like paper piecing...it's very therapeutic and these sugar Nellie stamps are really good for that...well I think so. All the papers are from Scenic Route, even the paper pieced centre piece. I have entered this card in the following challenges:

Thinking of You.......

Morning folks...not sure how good this photo is as I have loaded it to Michael's laptop and I don't like the laptop....my PC has a virus...boo hoo!! Hopefully my PC will be fixed today and will be back to normal. I can't believe this has happenend as I only got a new monitor the other day and now this....well I suppose if it's going to happen it will happen to me..that's the kind of luck I seem to have. I actually wanted to post this yesterday to make a few challenges that ended yesterday but for one thing or another that didn't happen. So here we are now...the papers are from Scenic Route - Laurel and the image is from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics and water colour pencils. I layered the image onto the circle which distressed with my Tim Holtz distressing tool. The flowers are cut using MFT die-namics rolled flower die. I have entered this card in the following challenges..

It's a cutie...

Well it's a very blustery day here today....but the washing is dry!! On to today's card..I have made this with a few challenges in mind. The papers are Crate Papers which are very easy to distress around the edges because they have an inner core, then I inked them up with my new distress inks....think I need to practise (Linds..I agree with you now!!) The stamp is one of the cute Mangas from Sugar Nellie...although this one looks a bit more stroppy than cute and of course she has been coloured with copics.

Ruby

I received this decoupage kit from Ger at Cullen Crafts the other day and I have never tried proper decoupage although I do like to cut out elements from stamped images and 3d them so I as esperate to try these out cos they are gorjuss. I hope this is ok to enter at The sugar bowl although it's not a sugar Nellie stamp it's from the gorjuss girl collection....it's ok if it doesn't qualify I still wanted to show it anyway. The backing papers are also from the gorjuss collection...it's all gorjuss exept for the scallop ribbon and to finish off I aed some faux stitching/doodling around the edge.

Just gorjuss!!

What a great weekend...yesterday it was Procession day here in Bathgate...lots of decorated floats, bands, flower girls, rainbow girls etc. Holly's friend was the Flower Queen...she was beautiful!! It was so hot I got burnt and I don't normally burn, Holly was ok as she was covered up cos she's so fair!! Today was skyfest...family fun day and the heaven's opened and the rain couldn't have came down any heavier but it didn't spoil the fun....lots of events were under cover...but the highlight for Holly was to see Stacey Solomon singing...what a treat!! I have my second wind now and a wide awake so I thought I would make this card...might have to retake the photo in daylight. The backing papers are crate Papers and the Gorjuss girl has been paper pieced which I have to say I am enjoying doing..this is the third time and it is very therapeutic, I masked off her fae and sprayed the hair with copics...thought I would try shading her hair differently and then coloured her face, I added sequin flowers to the stamped image aswell to give additional sparkle, punched the message an the flowers and also added black an white ribbon and glitter.

It must be a day for not liking my cards...I love this new Manga but I'm rubbish at the recycling of stuff to put on the card....anyway I have still entered this in The Sugar Bowl challenge this week. The backing papers were in my stash along with the gems and the dot things(can't remember what you call them), the flower is cut from a sizzix die, the image is coloured with copics which has been layered onto a circle covered with tinfoil an also an old cd which I inked up with silver ink and embossed with black glitter embossing powder...phew!!

The Sugar Bowl - Kathy's Sketch

This card is for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. I have used the Sitting rubber stamp from Sugar Nellie and the backing papers are from MME...my favourite!! I'm not sure about the shabby chic look as I haven't done that before so I distressed the edges and chalked them...hope hat meets the requirements!!

Tiets Sugar Bowl Challenge - A Spoonful of sugar

I have made this card for The Sugar Bowl Challenge and the Spring time challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar. I was a bit worried with all the layers but I have chosen all the papers from My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow collection - so there's lots that match. The flowers are also from backing papers from the same collection which I cut out and embellished with brads and glitter. The button and ribbon is also from the Bloom & grow collection.... and finally the gorjuss girl is from the Sugar Nellie range and she is just so cute...I coloured her with copics and added some glitter to her..perfect for spring....hope you like it.
