Hello my lovelies how are you all?

I made this card last night & made it using one of the lovely Krista's images & this one is one I actually brought from the beginning I think........its one of my early ones & I finally got her coloured.

I love these colours together & I think I could have another fave colour combo.......yep all my faves contain brown lol.

The papers I forgot I had & they were at the bottom of my Prima drawer they are 'Alla Prima' & I think I got them from Crafty Emma's Store. Iedged the edges with vintage photo & matted onto kraft.

The gorgeous image is of course from Saturated Canary & its called 'Haley & Harley' isn't she just soooooo darn pretty, she is one of the ragamuffins & I have to say that these are becoming my fave I just adore their faces.........& isn't that wee little piggy so cute!!

The green paper roses are from my stash & the middle rose & the flat paper flowers underneath are from WOC.....the white paper flowers I only recently found they were still sealed in the packet, I think they are from WOC anyway lol. Mint coloured ribbon is from a shop off ebay, the sentiment is a wooden stamp off my shelf & the muslin is off a giant roll I have............I mean GIANT its at least 20 metres long & 3 metres wide & I have 2 rolls of it which I brought about 2 years ago for a project I never did......lol.

The gorgeous resin flower & pearls are from My Crafty Heart

Sorry about the pics they were took in a rush tonight. I've had Megan & Ben over for tea & we've got Payton-Lea overnight as mummy & daddy are not well so they are trying to get some much needed rest.

Hello my lovelies how are you all? I thought I would pop this card on I made about a week ago just for fun with one of the new images from Tiddly Inks. The Wryn & Friends collection is just sooooooooo cute!!

However I'm not happy with this card it was a quickie at the time & I even coloured the image very basic, but I will show you it anyway until I figure out if I will strip it & throw it...

This is 'Grow A Little Love' isn't she just so sweet & cute.

The gorgeous flower & pin are from My Crafty Heart as are the 'Tiara' Stickles I used on the 

wooden heart. 

I glittered everything up with 'Stardust' stickles cus this sweetie deserves her glitter.

I havnt even decorated inside yet cus if I'm not happy with a card I wont give it or sell it to anyone so I'm waiting til I decide.

The papers are an old pad 8x8 'Hanoverian' have no idea where its from I've had it a while & rarely used it. The lace is from a shop off ebay. 

I think thats it my grand-daughter is here so I'm gonna go for lots of snuggles lol but will be round to catch up with everyone shortly.

CES Challenges DT Creation - Anything But A Card

Well good morning me lovelies how are you all? Well I'm a bad bad girl today I'm running mega late as I have a poorly daughter, I do have quite a few makes to show you but forgot to put them on my blog yesterday with her being poorly. So will put one of Krista's on laters for ya.

Anyway onto why I'm here & of course its time for CES Challenges & this week the theme is set by the lovely & sweet Shell & it is..........

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

I have used this to make my grand-daughter something. I coloured the image the day she was born after I saw her dark brown hair, this is how I imagine her in a year or 2 lol. Its for her bedroom.

WARNING PHOTO HEAVY

This stamp I've had since the release last year & she finally got inked up beginning of this year....I know shame on me cus how cute is she...................

Its a double frame thing I have painted a put a poem in this side & the image in the other.

The flower & seam binding holding the heart are from Crafty Emma's Store there is also a sale on so pop yourself over to grab a bargain!! 

This little cutie is 'Sweet Cheeks' by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD & its from the Peekers 2 range, I sooooo love those collections..............yeah I know even tho I've not inked them yet!!

This is the personal poem to my grand-daughter which I made up myself. I started doing poems after my nan died I did one for her funeral then it spiralled from there......before then I couldnt string 2 lines together lol. When my dad passed away I did a poem for his funeral & even stood up & read it out (very hard to do) but since then I've not done any. So this is my 1st one since then & I felt really proud that I was able to do this for her..........its something I'm hoping will be a forever kind of keepsake.

This is the finished project which I'm rather quite happy with. I wanted to keep it white cus then no matter what colour her bedroom it will go with it. Of course I added odd bits of pink.....well you have to dont you lol. I didnt add anything baby-ish tho as I want her to grow up with it.

Well thats it from me please pop over to see my DT buddies as their creations are gorgeous, they totally rock!!!

Thank you soooooooooo much for stopping by I loves ya all mmwah xoxoxoxo

Well Crafts & Me Challenges are back to normal after our christmas hols, wow there were a lot of stunning entries.

USE PINS

How easy is that!!! I have got a couple of show samples to show you using 2 images by the artist 

Janna Prosvirina

Now I have to make these flat so they can be put into a book........:0(

These just measure 5 1/4 inches & these stamps are larger than normal which is fabulous for me doing these sorts of cards.........you know I love my foofiness.........lol.

First up we have the beautiful 'Black Rose' (well pink but ssshhhh) I have to say that this one is soooooooo easy to colour & was prob my quickest ever colouring in all honesty lol.

The skirt part is a very light pink but the camera hasnt picked it up too well & the stocking tops are actually dark pink & not red like they look here. The flower & pin are from My Crafty Heart & I cheated & just placed them on for the photo lol........they will be removed before posting lol.

This beautiful lady is called 'Belladonna' & I really enjoyed colouring her altho I have made a couple of mistakes with my colouring but never mind the cards are not getting sold so I dont mind lol.

The pin again is from My Crafty Heart & the pin & bottom flower will be removed before posting.....I know its cheating but.......erm...........well its hard for me ;0(

Both stamps are of exclusive to Crafts & Me Store.

Anyway pop yourself along & look at my fabulous teamies creations they are all stunners!!!

Well I'm away but I will be round soon to catch up with you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by & for your wonderful comments you really do put a smile on my face mmwah
