‘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…..

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

Little Lady Bug

Hello everyone, it's Jenn here, and it's my turn to share some sugar! This is the card I made for my 7 year old son to give to his "girlfriend." Tonight at supper he declared his love for her once again : ) They met at daycare, and now even though they go to different elementary schools, their love remains strong, lol!

Anyways, back to the card! I used the super cute Let Them Eat Cake and colored her with Copic markers. I had initally planned to color her dress to look like a lady bug, then at the last minute decided to change the skirt up a little bit and make it colorful too. I added a bunch of sparkle with my Spica glitter pens, although the pictures really didn't pick it up much, sorry! The paper is Echo Park and I added some rhinestones to make the ladybug's paths. Just some ribbon, brads and flowers from my stash to finish it off!

I am also lucky enough to announce sneak peaks for the SOOO CUTE Puppy Love stamps! Trust me, you're going to love them! Sneak peaks start tomorrow right here! We'll see you then, have a great day!

SWEET ANGELICIA.....

Morning all.....

It's Vicky here today....and a Happy New Year to you all....!

Today I have the huge pleasure to showcase one of my fave images from The Fairy Glen range...sweet Angelica... which was released last October...and isn't she just beautiful...and loving her wee bunny too :o)

I have teamed her up with some gorgeous lace, ribbon and a die cut tree...and I thought the wee butterflies look so pretty and match perfectly with the image..

A close up.....and you can see I have added some stickles to her wings too...

and a side view...

I have used Spectrum Noirs & Flexmarkers to colour, chalks for her cheeks...and Prisma Pencils for shading and the Papers are from Nitwits...and I really loved making this card...

Thank you for popping by...and have a super day....

big hugs Vicky xx

Revenge Is Sweet....

Good Morning Sugar Addicts!

Over on the Sugar Nellie group on Facebook this week was a long thread all about Pippi Longsocks.
I absolutely adore this little lady, she is totally beautiful with a bit of mischievousness thrown in and I luvs her so much.
Imagine my shock and horror when one lady said that she wasn't too keen on Pippi! I mean, who wouldn't love that adorable sweet face?
Of course I understand that we all have different tastes, the world would be so boring if we all liked the same things but "not keen on Pippi"? She must be mad!
Another lady said she was seeing Pippi's in her sleep...Is that a bad thing? No, that would be a sweet dream in my opinion. So what am I to do when faced with such shocking news?

Oh yes...I am a woman, so I will get my sweet revenge :)
I had a nosey around Facebook and just look at what I found....

This beauty was made by our lovely DT lady Astrid.

I love the sepia tones on this fab card from Cass.

Cathy is one of our Sugar Bowl sweeties and this is the first time she's inked up Pippi...only because I told her it was a crime to own this stamp and never have used it (I threatened to report her to the Secret Sugar Police!)

This pretty and pink card was made by one of my lovely Harrogate friends Christine.

Another card from a Sweetie, this one is made by Fiona..I always love Fi's cards.

This striking card is an entry into the Sugar Bowl by Lis..and it was seeing this card that got me on the subject of Pippi.

A gorgeous card from the lovely Pops.

A beautiful Christmas card from Shazza (who loves Pippi almost as much as I do, judging by all the fab cards she's made with this stamp!)

And finally, just to prove that I really do luvs her is a card from me that I made for the Sugar Bowl - sketch No 71. I have made another card with her today using the same colour combo too :)

Ahhhhh...I feel so much better after seeing all this glorious Pippiness! 

She really is my mostest favouritest stamp ever, but she does share the top spot with a certain Sassy stamp. I wonder if anyone knows who that might be? 

Thanks for looking.

Love Elaine xx
