Here she is girls :)

Ok, ok do i was gonna leave the last of the Annies to preview tomorrow, but I found a stunning sample card from Dena that i just have to share with you all so here she is :)

Now i have no idea what flower that is she is holding - i am not even going to attempt to name it, this stamp shall be forever known to me as Annie with her pretty flower - lets face it it is a stunner LOL!! Wanna know what my favourite detail on this stamp is? - well im gonna tell you anyway!! I LOVE the way the the skirt has the same little detail accross the top as the centre of the flower - sad i know!!


Here she is all pretty in purple - LOVE this sample, not just because purple is my favourite colour either!! I love the softness onf the whole card and the stitching just finishes it off perfectly!

Now i mentioned yesterday that it was the last day of the SugarBowl challenge which means there is a new one today - yay!! Its a scrummy sketch by Gayle and there is a FABULOUS prize up for grabs - pick a mix of 6 stamps of you choice AND ( i know as if 6 stamps isn't enough LOL ) you can win a set of promarkers too to get them coloured in!! Yummy!! Wanna see the sketch?


I think this is a gorgeous sketch - i sometimes get a bit scared by all the layers on a sketch but this one is gab with a nice central focal point for the image just perfect for your favourite sugar nellie stamps!! Do go and check out the new sketch, as always you can get there straight away by clicking on the challenges tab at the top of the blog.

See you tomorrow for the last peek of the LE images and some candy - woohoo!!!

Another sweet sneeky peek !!

Im sooo glad that you are all loving Annie - i have another Annie to share too, but I think i will leave that till last :p - well i have to give you a reason to come back now don't I!! I do have a gooorgeous image to share though, look at this stunner ....


How gorgeous is this little image!! I love how she is looking at the moon and stars, just perfect for thinking of you cards, she looks sooo deep in thought doesn't she. There is just something about the stars, i loooove gazing up at them - they are truely magical!! - Again - check out that little hat, it is soooo cute!

Well, you all loved the sample card I showed you yesterday so i have a good peek through the DT blogs and found this little cutie made my Donalda using the same Annie i showed you yesterday. - I wouldnt let you go that long without a bit of Annie see - I know how much you love her!!

How cute is she in her purple dress!! I love the papers that Donalda has used on this one and the sentiment is fabulous.

Dont forget if you want to have a chance of winning these beauties, you have untill midnight tonight to enter the challenge at the Sugar Bowl. There is no please include option this week, and you can use any sketch you want from previous weeks. A very easy challenge this week for such a fabulous prize!!!

A brand new Annie :)

Ok, I know that lots of you are waiting for me to share one of the new Annie stamp designs with you. She seems to be one super popular lil sweetie!! I was going to be really mean and wait untill the end of the week to share them with you, buuuuut, I have had lots of lovely comments and emails so I thought i would be nice and share one with you today.

Isn't she just the cutest? Bless her pulling along her little wagon full of flowers - such a perfect image for this time of year dont you think :) I have told you many times before how fabulous our design team are haven't I? Well .. just look at this stunner made using the image i showed you yesterday. Super Speedy Sugar Babes we have on our team!!!



Sarah created this little beauty for us - i am LOVING the skirt on the dress - i told you yesterday it would look fab in colour with all the layers didn't I!!! Dont forget to check back tomorrow to see another brand new design - oooh i can hardly wait to share it!!

Another sweet stamp sneek :)

Im sorry that yesterday some people were leaving comments saying that they couldn't see the image preview!!! I have deleted the image and added it again so hopefully it is working? Im not sure - as it was working and showing up for me before but HOPEFULLY all image problems are fixed in time for me to share the next one with you!!

Another stunner today!! I just adore these new stamps, they are sooo gorgeous!! How amazing is this little cuties dress!! I sooo want one just like that!! Very puffy and just awesome - how much fun is this one going to be to colour in, getting shaddows under each layer of skirt. I have a feeling i am going to see some stunning creations with this one - and i just cant wait to spot them on all of your blogs!!

If you are loving these new images as much as I am, dont forget you have two chances at winning them!!! Karen has kindly given me a set to use as candy on Friday when i preview the last image, but .. . these little babies are also the pize over at the Sugar Bowl!!!! Thats not the best bit either ... its a FREE CHALLENGE - you can pick your own sketch to work with and not be tied down by a please include option either!!!

Time for the first peeek .........

Ok, so i know that i have left you waiting a little today - i wont lie - it is totally because i have been scoffing my face with chocolate all morning!! Come on - its the only day in the whole year you can get away with eating chocolate!!!
I have left you waiting long enough though so ........ here it is .....

I adore this image - look at her with her teeny hat and her huuuuge floating rose!! I loooove these arty images. The little frames she puts around each one just finishes the images off perfectly!!

As i have left you waiting soo long i thought i would share a card made by the fabulous Judy using one of the older arty images we have released.



The sentiment on the card says it all really - BEAUTIFUL!!

Prepare yourself for a week of previews!!!

Yes, you heard - or should i say read right in the title!! Starting tomorrow, I will be sharing some BRAND NEW Leanne Ellis designs with you!! Yippee!! There are 6 new images being released in total, so i will be sharing one each day starting tomorrow, ending on Friday when i will add mr linky and one lucky random winner will get to receive all 6 new stamps!!

We have some cutie Annie stamps being released and some more of the popular 'arty' designs too. A fabulous mix - I know because i have seen them!!! :p

The design team have their images already so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on their blogs, i will try and snatch their cards as soon as they make them to post on here too.

I shall end this post with a little bit of cuteness from my little boy - i dont normally share private bits on the Sugar Nellie blog, i leave that to my own one - but seriously - this is just toooo cute to leave out!! Yesterday, being Good Friday, he came up to me and said ... today is Good Friday mummy, Jesus died today, - now with him being 4 i was pretty impressed he knew/remembered, until.... he followed on to say, yes mummy, Jesus died today on a Hot Cross Bun!!! - Seriously - the things kids say eh? LOL

I shall be back tomorrow to share the very first of the Leanne Ellis previews with you!! - Once i have scoffed a ton of chocolate of course ;)

Another tutorial and a bit of a challenge :)
