Lil' Ladybug

Good morning My Bestie friends,

As it's Sunday, it's time for my post over at Sherry Baldy Art and this week I have a card using Besties image 788 who has yet to be named. I called her 'Lil' Ladybug' and you can buy her from Sherri's on-line store HERE.

Here's what I made ...

This one was made with the 'My Besties UK Challenge Blog' in mind - the theme this time is 'CIRCLES'. How many can you spot?

I used my Promarkers to colour the image and the backing papers are from Raspberry Road. Using my dies I cut lots of circles from scraps of purple papers to match the background, then arranged them around the edge of the design. Some little punched flowers and butterflies finish off the design.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Cherry Blossom in Pink

Well hello everyone,

I really hope you are all finding time to enjoy this gorgeous weather. I only have just over a week left at school before the summer break - I hope the weather holds.

I have a card to show you today showcasing one the gorgeous digi images by the very talented Sherry Baldy.  I was asked to join her team a couple of weeks ago and this is my first post, which can also be found on Sherri's blog HERE.

Here's what I made using one of my all time favourites ...

If you would like to buy this digi, just click HERE.

This is an 8x8" card, covered with papers from my stash. I coloured the little geisha image with my Promarkers and added a little glitter to the kimono. I added lots of extra embellishments, as usual - including a little stamped postcard (by LOTV), pink polkadot organza ribbon, dark pink die-cut border, an ivory blossom die-cut, stamped flowers and a Happy Birthday sentiment to name a few! Lol.

This one was made for my eldest daughter's birthday and she loved it - it is currently sitting in pride of place on my mantelpiece. Hope you like it too.

Have a great day

I for Image

Good Morning everyone,

It's Friday again - wow! it does come around quickly, or is it just me!  It's time for the next letter over at the Alphabet Challenge and we are upto the letter 'I'.  So our Sheena chose 'Image' and we would love to see your projects using an 'image' as the focal point of your card. Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I have gone back to my 8x8" base card for this one and used a gorgeous image by the very talented Sherry Baldy, called 'Frilly Lilly'. You can buy this image and many others at her on-line store HERE.  I have coloured her with my Promarkers to match the backing paper, which is by Magnolia.  I added the pale pink as a contrasting colour and embellished to my hearts content. The card is for my Mum's birthday next week - I hope she likes it!

I would like to enter this one into Sherry's Besties Challenge which is to 'Sew or add Buttons'.  I only used one button (in the centre of the floppy bow on her hat) so not sure if it counts.

I shall look forward to visiting your blogs to check out your gorgeous images for the Alphabet Challenge over the next couple of weeks - so happy crafting.

Just for You

Happy Saturday to you all,

Well, I'm half way through my Easter break from school and loving every minute of it - I have done so much crafting, I think I need to buy some more stash! Well, that's my excuse anyway! Lol.

It's my turn to post today over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society and I have a card using another one of the gorgeous images by Sherry Baldy called 'Belinda Beehive', which you can purchase from their on-line store HERE.  This one was made for a crafty friend as part of a DT sister swap over at SSS ...

The card measures 6x6" and is covered with paper from my stash.  The image is coloured with my Promarkers, with a little added glitter to make her wings sparkle. Added embellishments include a Memory Box corner die, stamped LOTV sentiment, pink organza ribbon, three die-cut flowers with candi centres and a few adhesive gems for a bit of bling. Doesn't she look so cute with her little basket of hearts.

Hope you all have a great weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Sweet Little Cherry Blossom

Happy Wednesday everyone,

It's my turn to post over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society blog today and I have another card featuring one of the gorgeous new geisha images from Sherri Baldy's 'Bestie's' range, which you can buy from the online store HERE. I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it and couldn't wait to get her coloured in - doesn't she look so cute in her little kimono. Here's what I made ...

I love the peach tones from the background papers and coloured her with my Promarkers to co-ordinate. I used 'oatmeal', 'apricot' and 'honeycomb' to colour her kimono and hair ribbon.  All other embellishments are from my stash.  Hope you like her :)
