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!

The Sugar Bowl 109...

Hi all! I seem to have been chasing my tail all week, but hoorah!...the weekend is in sight.

If you plan to get inky this weekend, then why not join us over at The Sugar Bowl. 

This time we want you you dig deep and find your FIRST SUGAR NELLIE stamp or digi...and create something fab with it. Then share it with us over at The Sugar Bowl.

We always have the best prizes up for grabs. One lucky winner of this challenge gets to choose 4 pieces of super sweet Sugar Nellie rubber candy (or 6 pieces, if there are over 100 entries) from...

My first Sugar Nellie purchases....many moons ago....were several 'Simon & Lola' stamps. I think this Lola & Bird stamp is my fave!..

I inked her up using my Toffee Crunch Memento ink pad, and used my Copics to colour.

Other Ingredients;
Echo Park Everyday Eclectic Papers,
Spellbinders Floral Oval Dies,
La La Land Banner Die,
Doo Hickey Doily Flower Die.

So what are you waiting for? Go and dust of that rubber.
Thanks for popping by today.

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.

The Sugar Bowl 106...

Hi all. Hope you're enjoying the hols if you have kids off school like me. Nearly a week into the hols already. We haven't done much yet. Beth has been poorly with some sort of virus. It was my Birthday on Tuesday. We just had a meal and bottle of wine at home. We'll try to do something more exciting next week. I also promised the girls they could have their ears pierced, but that's also had to go on hold until Beth is better. 

So anyway, quick post to tell you about the latest challenge starting over at; 

The Sugar Bowl

"Anything goes"....as long as you use a SUGAR NELLIE image!

I used "City Girl", and coloured her with my Copics.

Hi all!

A super quick post today to tell you about the new challenge starting today over at THE SUGAR BOWL.

Again, 'Anything Goes' but you must use a Sugar Nellie stamp or digi!

As you can see, my card this time is quite CAS using the stamp itself as the main focal point.

I used 'No Shell Like Home' from the new 'Return To Fairy Glen' collection.

I coloured her using my Copics and added lots of Stardust Stickles, then mounted her onto a small black scalloped card. I finished off with a Prima sentiment stamp, gems and twine.

I will enter this into Michelle's linky party over at Make It Monday.

The Sugar Bowl 98 ~ Fi's Sketch...

Hi all. Are you having a good week?  If like me you're probably rushing around like crazy people trying to get organised for the big day.  It doesn't help with all the germs and bugs the kids keep picking up from school, resulting in days home! 

Anyway, we have a new challenge for you over at The Sugar Bowl. The last one of 2012. This time our lovely Fiona has a sketch for you to follow;

With an optional theme of 'Let It Snow'.

Unfortunately I couldn't follow the theme this time as I had a special Birthday card I needed to make.

I used 'In The Garden' available here.

I coloured it with my Copics.

The papers are Fancy Pants 'Summer's End' and the ticket sentiments are by 'Whimsy Stamps'

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

I'm off to continue with my rushing around.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
