Merry & Bright

Hello sweeties.  Well, it's Friday so we've got this weekend to look forward to, right?  My plan for this weekend is to be creative.  I've got lots of Sugar Nellie images stamped and printed and I hope to get lots of coloring done.  I'm really hoping to get some Christmas cards completed!  Today I have a card to share with you featuring one of our new Winter Wonders.

I adore penguins and immediately fell in love with this sweet image, Penguin Party.  I love that little mouse that's helping wrap the presents, too.  I colored this image with copics and colored pencils and used some Glossy Accents on the penguins beak and foot to give them some shine.  There's Glamour Dust on his hat and the snow-covered ground, and then I added some Liquid Pearl dots along the outside of the image.  I added a star flourish and a bow to complete my card.

You can find this new Winter Wonder digi and all the other gorgeous Sugar Nellie images over at Funky Kits.  I hope you find some time this weekend to get your fingers inky!

Hugs, Anita

Rock Idol

Hello, Lisa here with my creation for this week... and I made a bit of an oops!  I didn't notice until it was too late, that the stamp I've used seems to be out of stock, sorry!... 

He is fab though, isn't he?!  This is Rock Idol, and although he's not available at the moment you can see lots of other gorgeous stamps from the Manga range here at Funky Kits.

More photos and details over on my blog here.

Thanks for popping in, hope you all have a lovely day :o)

Ooh, and hope to see you back for the hop tomorrow!

the beautifully bright Mia...

Good morning everyone I hope your having a brilliant week...are you looking forward to the new release at the weekend...your going to love them I promise...for my card to show you today I chose an older

stamp from the Bags of Fashion range...this is the gorgeous Mia but I'm afraid she was so popular you can only get her from the set of four stamps now...your eyes aren't deceiving you yes she isn't my usual softer shades, she is very bright but I did use my usual distress inks for her...all the details are on my blog as always...thanks for stopping by today.

Don't forget the blog hop on Saturday for the lush new release

SOS-messy crafter...who me?

""What can you expect, I can't be creative and tidy!LOL

While Kate's away the boss will play.......
UFO's are everywhere, yes that's right , un finished objects.
I blame pinterest myself, I have said it before, if I spent the time making instead of looking, I would be out the door with new lines for the pop up shop.

I have been running the Elgin shop for over a week now, all those hours 10 - 5, where between customers I play will new ideas and start many many things. But in that time I have only finished one new line, but I did make two of them!

Here is my masterpiece in all it's poor photographic glory.

I have been waiting for so long for these dies from sizzix to arrive. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them and could not wait to start playing.

 Backed on black felt with the LOVE cut from stiff burlap (no idea where I got this but if you hang on to something long enough you find a use for it) and a flower cut from felt with a bead in the middle. Simply classy, and don't forget quick!

So I still have HOME and NOEL to play with.

I even plugged in the old singer sewing machine, I did have to look up some sewing instructions for this model online, great that singer have the instruction manuals to down load. This singer belonged to my late mother in law, it's date of manufacture was 1952! WOW, it's older than I am and if threaded correctly , works great.

This weeks projects will be sewn, wish me lucky and pop in and help tidy up before Kate gets back will you please. LOL.

Have a peacefull and creative weekend.
Karen
