The Sugar Bowl Challenge 96 (and a new arrival!)...

Hi all. Sorry it's been a while again since my last post, but been a little busy this week having cuddles with my new baby Niece, Phoebe (as you can see from the pic above). 

My Sister ended up having her on Sunday....Remembrance Day.

And here's another pic....just because she's soooo pretty!...

So, back to business....my DT card for The Sugar Bowl.

This time a very pretty sketch to follow by our lovely Maria, with an optional theme of "Sparkle & Shine!'"

Please pop over to the challenge blog for full details and to see what my talented teamies have been up to. As always, 4 Sugar Nellie stamps up for grabs for the lucky winner.

I decided to ink up one of my Simply Sassy stamps. Lots to choose from over at Funky Kits., and many now also available in digital format.

I coloured her with my Copics. 

The papers are First Edition "Family Ties".

The fab sentiment is from one of the very useful "Simply Birthday Greetings A4 sheets",  now available at DigiStamp Boutique. I used the 'female' version today, but a 'male' version is also available.

Back hopefully soon with some DigiStamp Boutique Christmas makes. In the meantime though please check out all the latest arrivals new to the store HERE.

Thanks so much for popping by!

The Sugar Bowl 95 ~ Erika's Sketch

Hi all. I'm here to tell you about the new challenge we have for you today over at The Sugar Bowl. 

A fab sketch by Erika, with the option of using the scrummy Autumn colour palette shown below...

For my DT card, I used this Simply Adorable 'Nathan' digi stamp from Funky Kits.

I paper pieced his jumper with some Pink Petticoat spotty paper, and coloured the rest with my Copics.

The Birthday Wish List is a fab stamp by Whimsy Stamps, and the tag sentiments are Lili Of The Valley.

Hope you'll join us....four Sugar Nellie stamps for the lucky winner (or 6 if entries exceed 100!)

Thanks so much for looking,

Retail Therapy!...

Happy Halloween all! 

I've a little DigiStamp Boutique DT card to share today, using a current 'offer of the month' called 'Shopping Alyssa'. We all love a bit of retail therapy don't we? 

The fab sentiment is also included all for just £1.00 (but hurry....last few days of current offers!)

For my creation I printed out some Pink Petticoat spotty paper, and did a little paper piecing. The rest was coloured with my Copics.

I also gave my new Memory Box 'Cityscape Nightline' die an outing (love this!).

The little resin flower was picked up from ebay.

Right off to help the kiddies get all dressed up....and still gotta carve the pumpkin!

Have fun whatever you're up to tonight, and thanks for popping by!

The Sugar Bowl 94 ~ My Sketch!

Hi all! 

Many thanks for your recent visits and comments. I really do appreciate it...although I do apologise that I haven't had time to visit your blogs for while. Life has been a bit hectic to say the least! I haven't had that much time to be creative either. I have new unopened stash gathering dust just waiting to be played with. I've had to rethink my crafty commitments, and sadly stepped down from the Pink Gem Designs DT last week to ease the pressure a bit. Very sad as Pink Gem was my first DT and I've been with them almost as long as I've had my blog. But good news for you, this means a DT call is now under way, You can enter HERE.

So I'm here today to tell you about the latest challenge over at the Sugar Bowl, a sketch by me!.....

(with an optional theme of  WET,WET,WET!)

I decided to use my Sugar Nellie Aqua Marina Stamp available @  Funky Kits,

I stamped her with Memento Grey Flannel ink, & coloured her with my Copic Markers. I also paper pieced her tail.

Other Ingredients;

First Edition Papers,

Tied Together Embossing Folder,

Memory Box Loopy Rings Die,

Spellbinders Lacy Oval Die,

Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch,

Craftwork Cards Sentiment,

Adhesive Pearls,

Stickles Stardust.

Don't forget to see what the rest of the team have been up to. Gorgeous creations as always.

Please join us if you can. 4 Sugar Nellie stamps for the lucky winner!

Thanks for visiting today,
