"Peek-a-Boo" Birthday...

Hap-hap-happy Monday, sweet friends! Pat Frank here with another new Sugar Nellie DT project to share with you! Today's card is a fun (and cute, I think!) birthday card...
 

This sweet little stamp is called "Peek-a-Boo" and is from Sugar Nellie's "Home Grown" collection! It's available HERE at Funky Kits.

As always, I colored this image with Copic Sketch markers...then deepened the shading a bit with colored pencils! I love the sheerness of Copics for things like those overlapping balloons! Here's a bit of an angled photo...kind of "artsy," wouldn't you agree?!

If you'd like more info on this project plus a look at a couple of additional pics, please visit my blog HERE!!

And, that's it for me! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! Have a fabulous week!! Hugs...

SOS Christmas is coming...

Hello my lovelies, how has your week been? I often ask my young nephew, what's your good news and your bad news today?

Our good news is that we are almost ready for Christmas, yes there will be new Christmas digi stamps available this month, I am just waiting for the heads up from Gayle. While that's going on its time to prepare the craft shops, stock, workshops and demos all need planning. My Saturdays are full right through to the end of October.  The pop up shop is now closed but will open again in three weeks, just three weeks to motivate my band of merry women into making lots of quality lines for the season. It is a lot of fun, getting to know new crafters, some work in mediums that are new to me but in the end of the day it's all handmade.  We have some line to buy in as we just can't fill such a size of shop with only handmade lines. There is defiantly a Scottish theme shining through, with tweeds and whiskey barrels being made into all sorts of lovely things.

Back at HOS head quarters, we are not only making lots of sample for the store and classes but also lines for No 44 which can be sold as finished gifts.

At home on the farm, the harvest is about to start. My sewing machine is out and I have found my haul of beautiful fabrics that I buy every time I go to the USA, time to use them up! I have the ideas I just thing I will probably end up getting a seamstress to do the sewing as I am a beginner and would never pass my own quality control tests!

This is a little blast from the past!

Six years!

I had better get my celebration hat on and do some planning for some birthday promotions.

Bad news is ......I only have one pair of hands, I had better get on with it and stop blethering on here. LOL

Sending Happy Thoughts

Hello sweet friends!  I hope you have a fun and crafty weekend to look forward to.  I thought I would share a card with one of our new Summer Adorables today ...

 

I Like To Be Pretty

 

 

 

Isn't she a gorgeous little girl?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and then I used some Star Dust Stickles on her necklace.  My papers are some older ones from my stash and I thought the flower pattern was just perfect for this little sweetie.  I've used a Memory Box die for the vine and a punch for the tiny flowers.  I also used some gorgeous lace and a gingham bow on my card.  You can find more details over on my blog and you can find all the fabulous Sugar Nellie images at Funky Kits.  

 

Thank you for stopping by.

 

Hugs, Anita

SOS - Such good taste!

I do love beautiful things, pretty things and hard to get your hands on because the order books are closed on the web site is in Russian and I cant read it, kind of things. My love of Pinterest goes back to the good old days, where there were just pretty picture shared on one very fast growing site. There was none of the dark side visible in those days. Th
e good is still there, over shadowed by the bad. But I visit every day and still find new beautiful things. I have shared many of these things with you but today its something new. I have discovered the world of beautifully dressed cotton dolls. Something like tilda dolls but taken that step further. T Conne or to use her full name Titana Conne is Russian I think, the language is beyond me and even translator struggles with this one. Just look at these... visit her on FB and check out her pictures, mostly rabbits, sheep and horses but if you go back far enough you will find her dolls.

blogger is being difficult today so I will say cherrio and let you search out T Conne on pinterest.
