HAPPY BIRTHDAY AT PRAIRIE FAIRY

Morning Blogland

Just thought I'd pop by and remind you that you still have a week to enter the challenge at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY where the theme is BIRTHDAYS

Here's another card for some inspiration

This little cutie comes from a set called HOLIDAY GILLY, I've coloured her with copics and used some bright and cheery colours to help cheer us all up with this dull and dreary weather!!

The sentiment is one of mine and is part of a set of 6 which you can find at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU

SUMMER SUNSHINE

Morning Blogland

Well .... it seems like ages since I posted a card "just for fun" and thought this morning that's exactly what I gonna do!! I felt like cheering myself up so last night I stamped and coloured loads of images and decided to look through some challenges and see what I could enter.

Here's what I came up with :o)

I've used a Hanglar Stanglar image and coloured with copics, I've followed a sketch from Sketch and Stash and the sentiment is one of my digi sentiments and can be found as part of a set of 6 at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU

I would like to enter :

Sketch and Stash - Sketch

Hope you like my step into summer and hopefully some better weather lol

OH BABY BABY!!!!

Morning All

Goodness two weeks has passed since our last challenge at TOTALLY TILDA - time sure flies!!!!!

This week our theme is :

BABY BABY
We are sponsored this week by the lovely Nikki of BUNNY ZOE CRAFTS - be sure to check out her store she has some fab things including the new range of Magnolias ... in fact my brand new Magnolias arrived yesterday!!! How happy was I!!!

Last week there was some confusion over what was allowed in the challenge so this week the lovely Susie has left details of exactly what you can use - make sure you check :o)

So ... onto my card ... here it is

I love this baby Tilda she is just soooooo cute!!!! I've coloured her with copics and embossed the background using whitewash colour core card and sanded it back.  Thought I'd keep it quite simple just adding some flowers, card candy and a ribbon
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :o)
Catch up with you all again soon

LACEY CHRISTMAS

Good Morning Blogland

Well ... I'm feeling a bit better this morning after getting an early night last night .... these migraines really knock me out for a few days :o(

Anyway .... it's Christmas time again and another challenge at DCD CHRISTMAS CLUB the theme this week is CHRISTMAS LACE

We are sponsored this time by ROBYN FETISH 

and we all got to play with some great digi images - please go have a look at all the DT cards .. we have all used different images and my fellow DT girlies have come up with some gorgeous creations!!

Here's mine

This is my first attempt at a door hanger!! My lovely friend Susie Sugar sent me some of these hangers - go check out her store DIE CUT DREAMS she has some amazing die cuts for sale and obviously get yourself some of these hangers ... they are so much fun to make!!!

The stocking is a digi image from Robyn Fetish and I flipped the image in photoshop so it was facing the other way and I've coloured the stocking and my sweet Tilda with copics.

The other thing I'm really excited about is my new Nestie Stamps!! OYSTER STAMPS have a range of clear stamps that fit your nesties perfectly!! I've got the ones that fit my Ribbon Trio Tag set and also a set that fits my circles/scallop cirlces/lacey circles all in one set!!  

The sentiment is one of mine which you can find at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU - I printed it out, stamped around it and then cut it out with the nestie - PERFECT!!! I LOVE THEM!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRY!!

Evening everyone

So sorry I'm late in posting today ... i've had the worst migraine for 2 days and just can't shift it :( .

We were supposed to be going to our good friend Garry's 50th birthday party tonight we've had to say we can't go - so disappointed!!!

I just needed to let you know that it's new challenge time at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY today where we want to see your BIRTHDAY CARDS!!

Here's my card .... I made it for Garry's birthday :o)

This is LEWIS .. he is such a fun image to work with and so appropriate for this card as we have known Garry for 25 years and he has never had any hair!! LOL!!  I've kept the card quite simple as it's for a man but couldn't resist the sentiment - it's one of mine and I've popped it on SENTIMENTS 4 YOU as today's Friday Freebie so get on over and grab it!!

No challenges for me today as I think I need to go lie down again now :(

Catch you all tomorrow with another Christmas creation
