A Christmas Birthday....

Hi all! Can't believe the big day is only a couple of weeks away. Where dis the last month go? 

Today I'm sharing a card I've been asked to make for someone. I would have blogged it earlier in the week, but my youngest has been off school poorly with a cold and very bad earache. It's been keeping him (and us!) awake at night. He's been screaming the house down!

I used this cool image from the 'Tia & Rufus Collection' over at DigiStamp Boutique. These are also discounted right now!

Have you checked out the new range of digital papers available over at DigiStamp Boutique yet? 

I used various ones on my creation today. I love how vibrant they print out. They are a bargain price too!

Other Ingredients;

Copic Markers,

Stickles Star Dust,

EK Success Border Punch - Apron Lace,

Kraft Card,

Bias Binding,

PC Generated Sentiment,

Nesties,

Marianne Design Holly Die,

Various Blooms,

Gems,

Button & Twine.

The Sugar Bowl 97....

Morning all. A very quick scheduled post from me today just to tell you about the latest challenge over at the Sugar Bowl. Please do pop over there to check out the fab sketch by Wendy. We have a 'Winter' theme this time to follow (as always the theme is purely optional!) 

Hope you'll join us......we have four Sugar Nellie stamps for one lucky winner!

As always the sweet Sugar Nellie stamp can be found over at Funky Kits.

I used my Copics to colour, Bo Bunny 'Snow Day' Papers, and the gorgeous holly die is by Marianne Designs.

I should be heading to Nottingham later to see Alanis Morissette in concert. Really looking forward to it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm Going Dotty!

Hi all. Hope you're having a good week? I feel a little lost. My 10yr old daughter has gone away with the school for the week. It was very emotional  waving her off on the bus Monday morning. They don't even get to phone home all week...boo hoo!!

On Thursday though, me & hubby will be off to Nottingham to see Alanis Morissette live in concert (very excited!) so that should take my mind off things a little. 

So, on with today's DT card. I'm just loving the new range of digi papers over at DigiStamp Boutique. As you can see I've been going crazy printing the Dotty Christmas ones out and having a play.

I also used an 'offer of the month' set called Winter Rosie. 

I layered her straight onto the patterned paper in Serif 'Page Plus'.

Other Ingredients;

Copics,

Memory Box Snowflake Corner Die,

Spellbinders Create a Flake dies,

Bias Binding & Gems.

You can check out all the new designs over at DigiStamp Boutique HERE.

Don't Mention The 'C' Word!

Hi all. With Christmas only 5 weeks away, I hope you're more organised than me. I have so many cards to make...oh dear....where does time go?

Well, here's another one done.....and also a DT card for DigiStamp Boutique.

I used a super cute image from one of the 'Offers Of The Month' called Cute Reindeer Set

I also used a fab sentiment from the Simply Christmas A4 Greetings. I made it into a little tag.

The beautiful subtle blue spotty paper will be available soon over at DigiStamp Boutique along with other colours and designs.  I love to layer my digis up directly over patterned papers in 'Page Plus' (free to download here). I then colour the image with my markers. Subtle backing papers are perfect for this, as your image can get 'lost' into busy backgrounds.

Other bits I used today;

Copics,

Kraft & Dark Brown Card,

Ribbon from my stash,

Scalloped Nesties,

Jump Rings & Eyelet.

Hope you like.....thanks so much for popping by!

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,

Jenny xx
