Good morning!  This is just a quick post from me to remind you that we have new digital releases being showcased this week at Some Odd Girl!  They're very cool!  Check them out over at the Some Odd Girl blog.  I'll be back tomorrow with a card I made using tomorrow's release image.

See you then!

Happy Bee Day

Hello!  Sorry I haven't been around in a while... been a little busy lately.  I just wanted to stop by and share a card I made recently for the adorable new Anna Belle releases at Tiddly Inks.

Isn't she the cutest?!  I LOVE Christy's images!  The papers I have used are from my stash (Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye and ?) and I have based my card on this month's sketch from I{heart}2stamp.     I added Stickles to her pom poms and her wings.   

Here's a close-up:

And here is the sketch from I{heart}2stamp:

Tiddly Inks Summer Fun!

Good morning!  I'm sorry this is late!  We moved out of our good internet zone and we are now in a little bay in Despotiko (close to Paros) which has very bad internet.    Did you see we have a new challenge this fortnight at Tiddly Inks?  And we also have some super adorable new releases?  Check them out HERE.

For my card for the summer fun challenge, I decided to use Wryn Hanging Around.  She's adorable and she's available both as a digital stamp and in a clear acrylic stamp set!

The papers are a mixture from my stash (Crate Paper, October Afternoon, Basic Grey) and the Summertime activity card is from Pink Paisley.  The sentiment is an from the Wryn Beach Babe clear stamp set.  The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the charm is from my stash.  The brad is also from my stash, but might be Crate Paper.  

Here's a close-up of Wryn:

Monsters and yachts

Hiya!  Sorry for my radio silence lately!  We are in the middle of our busiest month of the year, with guests on board travelling around the Aegean.  We haven't had great internet reception so far, so it has been too hard to post anything.

I have a Little Miss Muffet monster to share with you today.  This cute little guy was recently made available as a rubber stamp and I am so happy he is as he is the reason I fell in love with LMM stamps in the first place!

Did you know we have a challenge running at the moment? It's to use scallops on your projects... Easy right?!  And the sale finishes tomorrow, so get in quick!

Isn't he cute?!  I have coloured him with copics in bubblegum colours... grape and blueberry... yum!  I added googly eyes and a little sparkle to his flower.  The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl, the button is by Doodlebug, and the charm is from my stash.  The sentiment stamp is a little extra that comes with Monster Love. 

Here's a close-up:

And here are the copics I used:

Dragons and Princesses

Hiya!  I've just realised that I have a pile of Tiddly Inks cards that I haven't posted yet!  So to remedy that, I thought I would start with one I made for the recent Fantasy Friends Release using Dragon Friend:

The papers are from my scrap piles (which I have recently sorted by colour into lovely plastic boxes so that I can find them more easily).  The sentiment is an old stamp from Pollycraft and the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The charm is from my stash.  

Here's a close-up:

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Digi Doodle Shop's Best: Ribbons and bows

Okay that's it from me for now!  Don't forget we have a fabulous challenge running this fortnight at Tiddly Inks... it's to use your Favourite Tiddly Image!  Fun huh?!  The hardest part is trying to choose a favourite!

Ciao!

I'm back!

I said I would be back with a Little Miss Muffet Stamps card today, and here I am!  But first, did you see all the fabulous new releases over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps challenge blog?  And there's an awesome sale on until the end of the weekend!  And one more thing... Barbara and her daughter are fundraising for the Monarch Butterfly Fund... Check out all the details HERE.

So, here's my LMM card for today using the cute Sugar n Spice boy doll... Dill:

I based this card on last week's sketch from Feeling Sketchy, but I am posting this way to late to enter the challenge unfortunately.  The papers are a mixture from my stash and the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The bling is by Prima and the sentiment is a sticker from SRM.

Here's a close-up of Dill:

Isn't he sweet?!  Don't forget we are mid-challenge over at Little Miss Muffet stamps and it's a yummy one!  We want to see your creations in the theme of Neapolitan icecream (strawberry, chocolate and vanilla) or if you use a Little Miss Muffet stamps image then you can submit a project using the theme Anything Goes.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Twisted Tuesday Challenges: Free for all

Kaboodle Doodles: Birthday or Special Day

Alrighty then... I'm off to bed!  See you later!

August Sketch Challenge at Some Odd Girl

Good afternoon Peeps!  It's the first of the month which means it's time for a new challenge at Some Odd Girl!  We have a fab new sketch for you this month... Check out the sketch and my Oddmate's fabulous creations right HERE.

Here's my take on the sketch using Kimono Kaylee:

The papers are from Basic Grey as is the wee envelope (which currently has nothing in it, but will have a little message inside it eventually) and the brad.  The sentiment is from Pollycraft and I have coloured Kaylee with copics.  And that's about it!  Simples!  I do love having a sketch to play with... it makes the card making process so much faster!

Here's a close-up of Kimono Kaylee:

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Bearly Mine Challenges: Anything Goes

Party Time Tuesdays: Anything Goes

Twisted Tuesday Challenges: Anything Goes

We hope you can join us this month at SOG... we always love to see your creations.  And did you hear we have a blog hop coming up this week?  It starts August 3rd... hope to see you there!
