Digi Bells Blog Hop!

Hi Everyone!

Well I am very excited today!  I am taking part in my first Blog Hop with the Digi Bells!  The blog hop is to celebrate the release of a brand new digi image from the fabulous Elisabeth Bell!  The new image is called Little Lamb and you can get her from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection here.

You should have arrived here from the fabulous Penni, if you are lost you can pop back to the DigiBells blog and start there!  Here is my card:

Isn't she gorgeous and so lovely to colour in!  I used some of the pretty papers from Cosmo Cricket Mini Deck - Tea for Two pad.  I thought the colours suited the image so well! I added some flowers using my Cheery Lynn Miniature Rose die and the corner die is from Memory Box. The ribbon is from Ladybug Crafts Ink.  I added some pearls and the little sentiment is from Stamping Up.  Let me know what you think!

So you now need to hop on over to the gorgeous Wendy to see her wonderful creation! 

So for a chance to win the image you need to leave a comment on each blog as you hop round and the winner will be chosen at random which will be announced on the Digi Bells blog on 2 June.  

For another chance to win you can take part in the challenge where the theme is 

"Stitching - Real or Faux" 

Remember you have until 9am (Arizona Time) on 1 June to get your entries in for both changes to win.

Well I think that's it!  Enjoy the hop!  I am off now to join in!

Keeping It Real at MAWTT

Happy Thursday Everyone!

I hope you are well and enjoying your week.  I am back today with a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times.  Our fabulous Judith is our hostess this week and the challenge is:

"Keep It Real"

(No fantasy figures or non-living things)

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts.  Pop over to the main challenge blog to see all the details of the prize.  So here is my card:

I used one of the pre-coloured images from Wee Stamps.  This one is called Wee Bunnies and you can get it from The Hobby House.  Now I know that Bunnies wearing ties isn't exactly keeping it real (unless you are taking some very strong drugs!) but my thinking was that Bunnies are living things, as are flowers, so I thought it would be ok for the challenge!  The papers are Spring Drops from First Edition and I have used my Die-namics mini rolled roses die with some luscious felt from Ladybug CraftsInk.  The sentiment is also from Ladybug Crafts. 

I hope you like it.  Pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the gorgeous inspiration of the Design Team.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Sun Kissed!

Hi Everyone!

Well we have had a very strange sighting here the last couple of days.  A great big orange ball has been seen in the sky, I believe its called the sun and has actually stuck around for a bit!!  Lets hope it lasts!  I hope your weekend has been going well. 

I want to share a card I made yesterday using one of the new Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps images.  She is called Sun Kissed which I bought from Bunny Zoe in the UK here. 

 She is so pretty!  I teamed her up with my new paper pad from Echo Park called Hello Summer which again I bought from Bunny Zoe here. I love all the colours in this new pack.  I used my Martha Stewart border punch and added a little flower ribbon down the side and then just punched some small flowers and added those tumbling down the card.  To finish off I added some glamour dust and gems.  

I will be back with another Elisabeth Bell image on Friday which is very exciting as its a new digi release and we are having a blog hop on the Digi Bells blog!  My first as Guest Designer!  

OK, I am off to do a bit of colouring!  Enjoy the rest of your day.

Nautical at MAWTT

Hi All!

I hope your week is going well.  The weather has been so miserable, will we ever see the sun again!!  

We have a brand new challenge at Moving Along With The Times today and our gorgeous Leesa is our hostess!  The theme is:

"Nautical"

I did have a bit of ponder about what I would do for this challenge, I couldn't think of anything interesting!  Then I remembered I had the " Siren of Pearls" and Clam Shell images from Make it Crafty so I thought I would have a go colouring these up.  Here is my card:

I have been wanting to try and do pink hair for AGES!  So I thought she would be perfect to try on!  I think I need a bit more practice!  Its not as glossy looking as I would have hoped but I think its ok for a first shot!  I just used some of my Echo Park Splash papers with some ribbon from my stash. I added some pearls and the border punch is from EK Success.

We are sponsored this week by Sir Stampalot who have some fabulous stash in their store.  Please click below to go and check it out!

Pop over to the challenge blog to find out more details of the prize this week and also to see the rest of the gorgeous DT's work.

"Anything But Square"

I love doing circular cards so I went that way with my project:

Little Rapunzel from Elisabeth Bell

Good Afternoon!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend (long weekend if you are in the UK!) The weather is still rubbish here, its so cold!  I did a bit of serious retail therapy this morning, not done that for such a long time!  I had to buy some new bits for my trip to Istanbul at the end of the month so at least I have something decent to wear now!  

I have a card to share today using an Elisabeth Bell image called Little Rapunzel.  She is gorgeous and you can get her in digi her from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Gallery.  Here is my card:

Isn't she adorable!  I coloured with copics and teamed her with my First Edition papers from the Boho Chic collection.  The flowers are from Prima Flowers and have a little sparkle in real life.  I just added the butterflies and some gems to finish off.  Do pop over to the Digi Bells blog where you will find lots of inspiration using all the digital images from Elisabeth Bell.  

Ok, I have now got to get on and catch up on a lot of commenting!  Enjoy the rest of your afternoon and will speak to you soon!

Good Morning All

I hope you are all well.  Firstly I would like to apologise to everyone for not being able to get around to seeing you all for the last couple of weeks.  Work has been very demanding at the moment and I am getting home late which is not leaving much time for commenting!  I still have this wretched cold as well!  I will catch up with everyone over the bank holiday weekend!

Summer Fun at Cupcake Craftroom

Good morning everyone

I hope you are all well. I have managed to come down with a head cold so I am feeling very sorry for myself at the moment, with a sore nose!  

I have had some very good news though. I have been selected to join the Digi Bells as a Guest Designer!  I am very excited and can't wait to get started.  

OK back to business for today which is a brand new challenge at Cupcake Craftroom.  Mandy has a brand new release of papers called Last Summer which are a fabulous collection of papers in fresh, zingy colours perfect for your summer cards and projects. 

We have a photo for inspiration for you this month and here is my make using the new papers:

I have used the Bright Blue, Popsicles and Picnic from the paper collection for my card. I love the bright fresh colours.  The image is of course from Krista at Saturated Canary and she is called Beach Baby. I just added some ribbon and embellishments from my stash.  I also added some sand flower soft on the sand.  

I hope you can join in this month, don't be shy!  Hop over to the challenge blog and check out the inspiration from the DT girls.  

Have a great day and I will see you soon.
