The Sugar Bowl 111...

 Hi all! Apologies I'm really late with this post....have had some problems uploading my pics to my blog. Been sooo busy so only had chance to sort it out!

Welcome to The Sugar Bowl Challenge 111, where this time we have the theme "FAIRIES" for you to follow **but please use a Sugar Nellie image!** for the chance to win 4 Sugar Nellie stamps.

              Quite a simples card from me this time  using this sweet Titania stamp from Funky Kits, and coloured with my Copics. The pretty shaped card is by Craftwork Cards.

Thanks so much for looking!

Edwin...

Hi all. Are you ready for Christmas? No?...me neither!

Fed up of rushing around to be honest. Still, I managed to find a little crafty time this weekend to make my Mums Birthday card. This is also my DT card for DigiStamp Boutique.

This cutie is Edwin from the fab special offer set 'Edwin & Hetty'.

I coloured him with my Copics.

There are so many new images over at in the boutique at the moment, please do take a peek :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Holly Tree...

Hi all! Hope you are all well?...We've had a house full of illness just lately, and the fact that December is nearly here, and I've still loads of stuff to do for Christmas leaves me full of panic!

A DT creation to share today using the fab 'Holly Tree' from DigiStamp Boutique. I also popped on a sentiment from 'Christmas Greetings Set 3'.

I used my Copics to quickly add colour to the tree. The scalloped border is a Sizzix die. 

Sooooo many gorgeous new images over in the boutique, both Christmas and non-Christmas. Take a peek!

thanks for popping by!

Halloween Freya!...

Hi all! A Halloween creation to share with you today.

I've been having a play with some of the latest offerings over at DigiStamp Boutique.

There are so many new images to choose from, including Christmas and Halloween.

I'm loving 'Halloween Freya', so decided to have a play with her first. I used my Copics to colour, and a bit of paper piecing too. 

The fab spidey paper is a printable, also from DigiStamp Boutique, here.

The tag sentiment is this months freebie...yes FREE!

I found a little web rubber stamp, that must have been lurking in my craft stash for yonks. No idea where I had it from. It's just naked red rubber. I used a Versamark ink  pad and Perfect Pearls to add pearly webs to the background.

I also found some fab web effect material in my stash. Perfect for Halloween!

Hope you like.

Thanks so much for looking.

The Sugarbowl Challenge 108...

Hi all! Oops so sorry to my fellow sweeties....I'm a day late with this post. I would usually schedule, but we've been having some annoying internet issues for the past week or so, and have had to ask our ISP to send us a new router.

So without further ado, it's time for another challenge over at the Sugarbowl!!!

Once again 'anything goes' but PURLEEEEES use a SUGAR NELLIE image ONLY!!

(we've been having to sift out so many non Sugar Nellie entries just lately) 

So anyhoo....I used the adorable 'Forest Friends' digi.

I used Copics & chalks to colour....and oodles of Stardust Stickles.

For the life of me I can't remember the paper used (sorry!) as I made it over a week ago.

The sentiment is Craftworks Cards, and the pretty clip and trim were from the depths of my stash.

Thank you so much for looking today!

Hope you'll join in with our challenge for the chance to win some sweet Sugar Nellie rubber.
