Saturday Shenanigans

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I have been burning the candle at both ends, as a very good friend was in Edinburgh for the festival this past week.

So we took the opportunity to have a catch up and see some other friends, whilst he was here. 

(and keep some hostelry owners in profits for the year)

We are also busy beavering down the 'Sugar Mines' with Christmas still in full flow, so I though I might share some of my favourite Winter stamps with you all to perhaps whet your appetite for next weekends launch and perhaps you'll see some that you've missed too!

Mina has used Furry Friends

Pat has used Squirrel Delivery Service 

Lisa has used Warm Winter Wishes

Oh, how I love these little beauties, and I'm excited for you to meet the new additions to the family. 

However, if you just can't wait for next week and would like to get cracking this weekend on your holiday creations, there are lots available for (almost) immediate delivery in our digi shop.

Please feel free to take the opportunity to share your creations with us in the challenge both on Facebook and in The Sugar Bowl. 

We'd be delighted to see them.

Enjoy your weekend, and I'll see you back here for our launch.

How Exciting!

Luv'n'Hugs

Titania

Good morning sweet friends.  As the year is half over I decided I better get busy with some Christmas cards, so that's what I'm sharing today.

 

 

I used the beautiful Titania on my card today.  She is colored with copics and colored pencils and I've sprinkled on lots and lots of Glamour Dust!  Whoever receives this card will probably still be seeing glitter everywhere for several months lol.  I've added a delicate snowflake with some pearls.  I added some lace and a flower and then used a pearl brad for the center of the flower.  The sentiment is from an older set I've had for years.  You can find all the gorgeous Sugar Nellie rubber and digi stamps over at Funky Kits. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

 

Hugs, Anita

SOS A pinterest wedding

Good morning everyone, I am a bit washed out this morning, a busy week topped off by teaching on Saturday and a quick turn around and out in the evening to join Kate at her daughters wedding.

The bride was beautiful. The groom wore the kilt well. It was a beautiful day.

Mother of the bride was stunning and all her hard work was admired befor being demolished!
Kate took the decoration of the venue to a different level. The pinterest level. Yes all those amazing photos that all brides to be. ponder over, novel ideas to make that day a little more special. Kate pulled them all out the hat and did them better than most of those pinned ideas.

I don't really know where to start....

Take 1000 different sized jars, stamp them, wrap them in lace, doilies, twine, ribbon and lace. Scatter them on every surface , every window sill, door step, table or alcove and switch on the tea light.

Take several thousand white paper doilies and make into bunting  and hang from the ceiling with the help of scaffolding!

Giant tissue pom poms, huge clusters of the bigger pom poms you ever did see, hung high above the dance floor..

There were several other themed areas but lets cut to the chase.....

Two round tables

One for the cake

Ones for the sweeties

No one, NO ONE ever did a candy table like this.

Amy Atlas move over Kate Mellis owned it!

The wedding cake consisted of a cup cake tower, topped with one small cake with a hand made fimo cake topper made by one of our local talents Elaine Rose. Attention to detail and an inside to the happy couple allowed  Elaine to design a topper so personal to Mr & Mrs Reese that everyone noticed that the kilted groom with his surfboard stood proud next to his beautiful bride and their pug!
There were cupcakes, macaroons and tablet all presented beautifully.

The sweetie table. WOW
I think we will have to start hiring her out, this table was like no other. Seriously, Amy Atlas may well head hunt our Kate.

I think it's best that I show you photos.

But not today. I need to check that it's OK with the bride. But as soon as I can I will show you how it should be done, with class.

For now, I have a candy box to work my way through. The adult take on a party bag LOL.

Happy Sunday

Saturday Shenanigans!

Well, sanity has been restored in many Scottish homes this week, as our school's have reopened, the kiddywinkles have resumed their studies and, hopefully, the parents will have a little more time for crafting?

As I get older (much. much older) I realise that my life seems to lurch between 'events' Birthdays, Easter, Summer Holidays and my eldest daughter has already had me trawling Pinterest to start planning her Halloween costume!

(she's seven, suggestions on a postcard please?)

But, time marches on and there is no stopping these things.

 We have been planning the 'biggie' for quite some time now

(those of a delicate disposition, look away now) 

because.....

We have some delightful furry and fairy friends, that we can't wait for you all to meet.

 We start our Christmas launches on August 31st! 

Be there, or 'bah humbug!' lol

Now, if you can't wait to get started with Christmas cards take a look at our Christmas Shop where you will find some of my own personal favourite Sugar Nellies from Christmas' gone by!

Perhaps you could share your creations in The Sugar Bowl and Facebook challenges? You know we'd love to see them.

 Enjoy your weekend!

Luv'n'Hugs
