two sugar lumps...

Good morning everyone, I hope wherever you are your warm it is so cold here and it rained for 12 hours solid on Sunday...I have two bits of sugary gorgeousness to show you today...my first one is one of the stunning Simply Adorables called Victoria, I love love love colouring these beauties, the hair is fantastic to colour and they always make me smile, I used up scraps of paper for my card...I must admit I have a real soft spot for Simply Adorables and if your having any problems using digi's with either markers or water colouring I have a tutorial for waterproofing them on my blog sidebar...the next beauty to show is one of the new Puppy Love release, I love every single one of these I use and each time I think its my favourite until I ink up another, this gorgeous little girl is called Trip to The Park I used some Prima Madeline papers and added a huge pink bow...I coloured both of these images with my usual distress inks all the details are on my blog as always...oh and btw I have some candy on offer too the links in my sidebar...whatever your up to today have a fantastic one

Birthday Princess

Good morning everyone...before I tell you about my little bit of sweetness on my card today I want to apologise for the shockingly bad photos, my camera ran out of charge so I had to use an old one to take these and its just not as good as my usual one...this little bit of sugary gorgeousness is from the new Puppy Love release over at Funkykits, did you pick your favourites yet, I keep thinking I have but then I change my mind...this little sweetie is called Birthday Princess and I coloured her as always with distress inks and used some glitter on her balloon, crown and some of her birthday gifts...the lush papers are from a K&Co scrapbook kit...love the muted colours of them don't you...I'm off to take new photos now and I will hopefully exchange them later...all the details of my cards are on my blog...enjoy your day everyone

‘Puppy Love’ Hop–The Sequel!!!

Phew……let me catch my breathe!

You kept all of us here at the House Of Sugar, very busy yesterday!

It seems from your comments and from the amount of mail that Mark was taking to the post office yesterday, that you all have fallen in love, just as we did!

So, let’s do it all over again…….shall we?

Hands up then, who actually received yesterday’s purchases today???

Need some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing?

Today we have more delicious creations from our FABULOUS Design Team for you….

Today we start with a fabulously colourful creation from the lovely 

Jane

 

As always, we have some sugary sweet candy to send to people who leave comments along the way!

The delicious rubber babies are still available from Funkykits but, the way they’re leaving the building, they may not be available for too much longer!

Grad them soon to avoid disappointments…..

Luv’n’Hugs

‘Puppy Love’ Launch Day Hop!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Well, the way my January is going, I don’t think I’ll risk leaving the house today so…..I have something to keep us all cosy, and safe, indoors instead!

Ooh how exciting is this?

On sale now, over at Funkykits, we have a collection of seven gorgeous rubber girls all just waiting for you to fall in love with them.

A quick reminder that, as always, we have hop candy hidden along the way so please be sure to leave some love for my super talented girls!

Without any further ado I will send you off to see what, may well be, my favourite stamp from this launch….

Hop on over to the lovely

Pat

You’ll find your way around the rest of the hop from there and when you’re done, please come back and let us know what you found….and what you fell in love with!

Now, we do love a good hop here so, please be sure to join us tomorrow for the second half of this one!

Off you go then, hippety hop…..

Luv’n’Hugs

Ooooo...That Was Sneaky!!

Good Morning!

There is a new challenge today over on the Sugar Bowl with a fab sketch from Sweetie Erika.

We always have an optional theme too, and this time it's 'Birthdays'. I'm quite sure that everyone needs a constant supply of birthday cards so there really is no excuse to not join in and play along with us. One lucky winner picked at random will win their choice of 4 Sugar Nellie stamps, rising to 6 stamps if there are 100+ entries.

Which images would you pick? Maybe some older stamps to fill a gap in your collection..or how about some brand spanking new and soon to be released rubber like this little lady...

This beautiful card is Gayle's entry into the Sugar Bowl challenge and also today's sneak peak of the new stamp Best Day Ever...available to buy tomorrow at Funky Kits. Isn't this little cutie just the perfect image for a special little girls birthday? 

Erika has used the digi image Summer for her Sugar Bowl card...I adore Erika's colouring on Kraft!

And Pat's card uses another of my favourite images Titania. I love all the pretty embellishments Pat adds to her cards.

Please come back and pay us a visit tomorrow...you don't want to miss the blog hop which starts here promptly at 9am. We have a fantastic selection of cards from the DT showcasing all the new stamps and you never know...there may well be some candy along the way?

Thanks for looking

Love Elaine xx

And they called it…..

Oh I do love a bit of The Osmonds!

No, really…..I jest not…

Actually my favourite was Paper Roses by Marie Osmond!

(I have NO recollection of this whatsoever, in my defence I was 3, and I asked the DJ at my sisters wedding to play it a thousand times….apparently)

Anyhoo….enough of my talking gibberish!

Are you ready for the first ‘sugar rush’ of 2012?

I know I am, so without any further ado, here’s our ‘poster girl’ for this range….

Fifi Goes Shopping

Isn’t she a beauty, and hasn’t our Vicky done her proud?

You’ll find full details on Vicky’s blog for this glorious creation.

Trust me when I tell you that her ‘sistah’s’ are just as delicious…even the babies!

Oops…..did that just slip out???

Never mind, not long to wait now….

These beauties will be available to buy from Funkykits on Friday

See you tomorrow for another little sneak!!!

Luv’n’Hugs
