Picked For You! (Squiggle Stamps DT Card)...

Hi all! First I would like to apologise for being really rubbish again lately, and falling behind with paying you a visit and leaving you some comments. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me right now, and I hope to sort out some candy soon to make up for it.

.

So without further ado, here's my Squiggle Stamps DT card.

.

I thought I'd share a 'Spring' creation with you today to remind us what a bit of lovely sunshine feels like after all the dreadful weather of late!
I have used the adorable 'Picked For You' digi, also available as rubber here, and coloured it using Copics.

The bright papers are; My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy - Tickled Pink.

I thought I'd have a go at gathering up some satin ribbon down the side to create a border.

Don't forget there's a Squiggle Stamps DT call on at the moment. More details here.

Thanks so much for looking :-)

DigiStamp Boutique Offer Of The Month...

Morning all! Well, I think I'm finally getting back into the swing of things now. I think Christmas & New Year can leave you feeling very lethargic can't it?..

.

Have you popped across to DigiStamp Boutique lately?

There are some really gorgeous new additions including this 'Offer Of The Month' set, just perfect for those Valentine creations.

I have used Sonny With Roses, who is included in the Offer Of The Month.

I coloured him with Copics, and layered up his bouquet.

I also used;
Pink Petticoat downloaded heart paper,
Eyelet Nestabilities (on offer at Pink Gem Designs - one of the cheapest prices I've seen!),
Kraft paper,
Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. I am slowly making my way around to your blogs to wish you a 'Happy New Year' and to see what you've been up to.....hope you can bear with me?
But now for some cleaning...yuk!

A Gem Of A Challenge 12...Debby's Sketch!....

Hi all! Have you missed me over Christmas?...lol! I've missed crafting and blogging....and of course visiting your blogs!

Well I'm back now to tell you about our new challenge over at A Gem Of A Challenge. A super sketch by Debby for you to follow this time;

....and look and the fab prize we have up for grabs generously offered by Letraset!

Did you know we are now going from monthly to fortnightly, and have exciting things planned to celebrate A Gem Of A Challenges 1st Birthday in a few weeks.

For my DT creation, I have used the very cute 'Andy With Snail' available as a polymer stamp from Pink Gem Designs. The matching sentiment is also from Pink Gem Designs and you can grab it here.


To colour the image I used my beloved Copics, which I have been neglecting just lately in favour of Promarkers. But I really do love my Copics, and will make a point of using them a lot more this year. I also hear a rumour that there will be new colours released this year in the Copic Ciao range?

The papers are Basic Grey Max'n'Whiskers.
I also used a Craft Concepts Starry Night embossing folder.
Potters Clay Memento ink (to ink edges)
Ribbon, raffia, charms.
I printed the name 'Ben' from my pc.
.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you join us at A Gem Of A Challenge!

Look What's New!...

Look at these fabby 'Oh Boy' digital papers that Janet has been busy designing. Just one of many new sets now available over at Pink Gem Designs.

Anyway, long time no see! Hope you all had a great Christmas & New Year. I have had a very hectic time, as you do with four children! With coughs & colds, a broken boiler, I've had no chance to craft or blog. But I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things now, and hope to make something new in the next few days.

Back tomorrow with my DT card for a brand new Gem Of A Challenge. Luckily I was organised and started my DT card before Christmas thank goodness!
