Spring Is Here! (At least it is over at DigiStamp Boutique)...

Hi all! It's been a little while since I last posted. Due to things going on here, and some Internet issues, I just haven't been able to. But I'm here at last with some Spring inspiration for you. Spring...that's a laugh! We actually have blizzards of snow here at the mo, and the schools were closed today.

Anyway, back to my card. It actually started out as a Mother's Day card a few weeks back - ran out of time, trip to the card shop, hangs head in shame! - so ended up as a Birthday card for my Nan.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 101...

Hi all, hope you are all well. Still haven't been about much have I? So much sickness and illness about this Winter....totally fed up of it. With 4 kiddies it's no joke, and I seem to have been catching everything too. I've had no sense of smell for 3 weeks....nothing at all, not even a whiff. Hope it comes back soon, I keep burning the dinner lol.

Just a quick scheduled post today to let you know about our latest challenge starting today over at The Sugar Bowl;

"Anything Goes" (as long as you use a Sugar Nellie image of course!)

 I used "Sprinkle With Love", and coloured with Copics & Flexmarkers.

The pretty paper and sentiment are from DigiStamp Boutique.

Please do check out the gorgeous makes by the rest of the DT.

Hope you can join us.......4 Sugar Nellie Stamps for the lucky winner!

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

It's my little boys 5th Birthday today, so no doubt a busy one!

Koala Love...

Hi all. Hope you've had a good week. I sound like a stuck record but yet again I've had a poorly child off school. This time my youngest daughter with a nasty flu-like thing. I've honestly never known it so bad for nasty bugs and illnesses. 

I just popped by to share my latest DT make with you for DigiStamp Boutique. 

Earlier this week I happened to mention to Sally-Ann ('the boss' over at DigiStamp Boutique), that my eldest daughter Jess is a huge koala fan. All things koala she loves!

I had been on the hunt for some cute koala images to no avail. So Sally-Ann came to my rescue and this sweet koala was born (thanks Sally-Ann!). She also kindly let Jess choose a name for the koala, and she opted for Kiki!

'Kiki Koala-Set 1' is available in the shop right now;

Today's card uses 'Koala Love' from the set. I used my Copics & white gel pen to colour her.

Other Bits & Bobs Used;

Sentiment from DigiStamp Boutique,

Digi papers from both DigiStamp Boutique & Pink Petticoat,

Martha Stewart Border punch,

Spellbinders 'Fancy Framed Tags 2' Dies,

Spellbinders 'Blossom Tags & Accents',

Random Flowers, 

Seam Binding,

Charm & Twine.

I think you'll agree with me that Kiki is a very gorgeous koala indeed!

Thanks so much for looking today.

Not sure if you're Facebook fans?  I've never really bothered with it until recently. I hated it in fact! However, I've now realised there's a lot of crafty inspiration to be had over there, and I'm quite getting into it lol! I find myself frequently popping over there as my first port of call to check out the challenges, crafty groups, and the inspiration to be had.
