Jingle Bells!!!

This paper is an oldie but a goodie - Bella from kaisercraft, I am trying to use some of my older papers so I can buy new papers "hows that workin for ya" you may ask...well, its not, sadly I still MUST HAVE new papers...but I am also trying to use some of the older stuff.

And my image is also an oldie, I love this little cutie but feel my copic colouring doesn't do her justice. Die cut is from Cherry Lynn (I cut the centre out to go behind image).

Today I followed a sketch over at Sketches by Carly and also Christmas Stampin All Rounds challenge which was to use jingle bells (look closely at her bow and there they are).

Kept it simple as trying to do some cards for Grandma to post and they can't be too bulky.

Think Christmas...and Groan!!!

I decided to follow the sketch over at LOTV this week and used this little cutie (I have a thing for LOTV at the moment) coloured with my copics and my new binge (this year) - prisma pencils. I found this paper cheap at a shop in town yesterday and it worked perfectly with the other challenge that I am following which is Southern Girls Challenge - use polka dots and stripes. I have recently discovered Viva Pearls so attacked the image with pearl overload and also managed to stickle it to death. Holly branch is from another of my favourites at the moment Cherry Lynn Dies and is hot out of the mailbox.

I'm Back!!!

After a little over one years break from blogging, I have decided to start sharing my creations once more with you all.
Would love to tell you all the wonderful things that have been happening these past 12 months but the actual truth is nothing exciting has been happening...just life in general.

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm......

Grandma came to visit last night and tucked under her arm was a present for me...a copy of the Weight Watchers magazine (full of good tips and hints - according to Grandma) hmmmmm..................

Neeky's Nook - Top 3!!!

Neeky is so excited, she is in the Top 3 for the Polka Dot Challenge over at Karens Doodles Kids Challenge. Neeky has already chosen her prize images and can't wait to create her next card for the Pretty in Pink challenge.

Neeky's Nook - Dotty For You!!!

Over at Karens Doodles Kids Challenge, the challenge is Polka Dots and as an extra special treat Karen is offering this Polka Dot Bear to all the kids who want to use it and enter. Neeky (8) hasn't been card making for awhile as she has been busy playing soccer, but she loved this little bear and so created the card above. Neeky used Pink Paislee "Pop Fashion", coloured her bear with my copics, added some buttons for the clowns juggling balls, brads and circles to finish.

A Little Bit Naughty!!!

Truely Scrumptious had a great sketch this week that I followed, image is one of Kenny K's more "naughty" images, coloured with my copics and spica pen for some shine. DP is Kaisercraft "Shaken Not Stirred", roses are Wild Orchid, bling is Kaisercraft and ribon is from my stash. I created this for the following:

Fab N Funky - 3DP, 2 embellishments, 1 image (3 sheets of Shaken Not Stirred, rhinestones and roses and my Kenny K image)

Gingersnap - Red and Black (main colours in DP and image)

Stars and Stamps - (no glitter) punch, ribbon, emboss (only spica pen...but I don't count that as glitter, SU corners punch, black ribbon, I embossed the top DP with cuttlebug Dots)

Charisma Cardz - Hot, Hot, Hot (can't get much hotter than this!!!)

That's it from me, back to work tomorrow, had an exhausting day, but found out I am going to be a Aunty again, can't wait!!!
