Up Up and Away - Sugar Nellie

Hi Again!

Well I am back with some more sweetness!  This is my inspiration card for the Sugar Nellie blog.  

I have used the ever so gorgeous "Up Up and Away" which is available in rubber from Funky Kits and its on SALE at the moment!

I just teamed her up with some free paper which came from a magazine recently and a die from La La Land.  She is coloured with copics and I fussy cut her out so she could float off into the clouds!  I added some glossy accents to the balloon and then just a touch of glamour dust and pearls to finish off! 

Well that really is it from me today!  

Have a great day and I will see you soon.

Sugar Bowl New Challenge

Good Morning Everyone

I hope you are all well and had a great Easter break. I could get used to a four day weekend!   I am here today with some double Sugar Nellie sweetness for you!!  

First up is my card for the new challenge at the Sugar Bowl.  I will be back later with some inspiration for the Sugar Nellie blog.  

So our new challenge at the Sugar Bowl this month is:

"April Showers bring May Flowers"

My focus was on the May Flowers for my card:

This cute little lady is called "Garden Daisy" from Kathy Hare Designs at Sugar Nellie.  You can get here from Funky Kits and she is on SALE at the moment!

She is coloured with Copics.  The paper is from LOTV called Shabby Shack and all the embellishments are from the Hobby House and they are from the Pink Mint Embellishment Set.

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope your week has gone well and you are looking forward to the Easter weekend break.  I always love the Easter break, I love that Spring is here and flowers are out, and hopefully we can look forward to some sunshine!  

I am here today for the new challenge over at Moving Along With the Times!  Our gorgeous Judith is the hostess this week and the theme is:

"Use the word HAPPY"

Simple enough right!  I have actually used a die which was free in a recent magazine which I thought would be perfect for this challenge:

The colours in the photo aren't great but the purple's are much more vibrant.  I used some textured bazzill cardstock and added some embellishments from the Hobby House including Mulberry Rose Flowers and pearls.  Simple enough!  

I hope you can pop on over to the challenge blog to check out all the inspiration and I hope you can join us this week!  

Have a wonderful Easter and hopefully I will see you soon!

Sugar Nellie - Star Dust!

Good Morning Everyone

Well I am back from holiday but this still still a scheduled post just in case I forgot all about it!  I wouldn't want to forget this one as its my first card as part of the Sugar Nellie DT!  Karen asked me to join the team for a 3 month stint and I feel very honoured to be there! 

I have decided to use one of favourite Krista Smith images called Star Dust.  We all need a bit of Star Dust don't you think!  Pop on over to Funky Kits for lots more gorgeous Sugar Nellie products.  Here is my card:

I teamed her up with some papers from Authentique called Flourish.  I coloured her with copics and have added some glamour dust.  The leaves are made using my Doo Hickey Leaf and Swirl die.  The rest of the embellishments are from the Pink Mint Embellishment set from the Hobby House.
