More Summer Smiles

Hello Everyone! Jane here today with a card I have made using the Summer Adorables digi image Summer Smiles which is available here from Funky Kits. I used some old papers and lace from my stash on the card and coloured the image in with my Promarkers before I cut her out leaving a small border.

I added a My Favourite Things sentiment and some paper flowers to match the papers and finished with some stick on pearls.

 

Here is a little close up of my image.  I added some stickles to the flowers on her shoes and the little hearts on her bag and top to give her a bit of extra sparkle. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

For the Birthday boy!!

Hey there, sweet friends! Pat Frank here with another new Sugar Nellie DT project to share with you! First, though, I'd like to thank all of you who left comments on my last Sugar Nellie post! It looks like I'm not the only one who has made a couple of Christmas cards already!! hehe! But...no Christmas card today!! Today's project is for a handsome little guy's 9th birthday!



That's right! Our one and only grandson, Brody, will be 9 in just a few days...so I made a "hanging" card for him (with a pocket on the back for a gift card, of course!!) That way, he can hang it on his bedroom door...and years from now, when he's been out partying a bit too hard, he'll be able to find his bedroom!! LOL!

This cute little stamp is called "Number One Fan" and is from the Simply Sassy collection of stamps created by Krista Smith specifically for Sugar Nellie. It's available HERE at Funky Kits.

As per my usual, I colored this image with Copic Sketch markers...then deepened the shading a bit with colored pencils! Here's an"artsy" angle...

I'm pretty sure Brody is going to love this...especially the gift card part! If you'd like more info on this project plus a look at a couple of additional pics, please visit my blog HERE!!

Have a fabulous week!! Hugs...until next time.

SOS- Moving on

Good morning sugar addicts, I hope your week has been as enjoyable as mine.

I had a busy week full of lovely visitors, my time in the the pop up shop comes to an end soon  but it has been a lot of fun setting up a new business, buying the stock, putting wacky displays together and getting to work in Forres again. It's been 23 years since I worked in that very same building and some of the people as still around from those days.
I had visitors from Glasgow and Aberdeen shire this week, all very pleased with our pop up shop. Yes it would be great if all villages opened their doors to this idea, allowing an empty shop to come to life even just for a short time.
I will be working there for another two weeks, then we close. This was always the plan but I do feel bad for the people who say " I love your shop, I do hope you stay". But I am needed elsewhere and there just was not enough income to pay someone else to run it.

BUT the landlady loves the idea so much that she is going to re open after a little decoration and continue as a gift shop. SO there is a happy ending for the empty shop after all. The town gets a new store and I am very happy that all has worked out well.

Rocky Loves Rosie, the beautiful Amigurumi crochet characters have all but one , sold out! Rachel now has a list of orders which might make buying one of these exclusive creations hard to get. I still have the crochet bug, the case of wool is getting bigger. Currently buying it up while there is a sale on with the DROPS brand. Paying 90p/1.35 compared to Debbie Bliss at over 5 pounds for 50g makes a huge difference if you make things in bulk. The colours sells the wool to me, just love to pick and mix a few different colours to all work together on a project, not sure what project that is but its all in the planning.  ( I am getting mine from wool wearhouse)

Today its raining and I believe that there is a local group holding their annual BBQ down at  Roseisle Forrest, but if the weather is bad they are re locating to our big shed for shelter. Lucky for them the sheds are empty of animals and power washed clean ready for the grain to be stored at the start of harvest.

I might have to close all the window and doors because if I get just the slightest sniff of a burger I might crumble and follow the trail right into the shed. Not going to be good for my diet, this is the first morning in a week that my weight has not gone down  :(   must have been that wedding dance and hog roast that did it!

Enjoy your weekend ladies, if there any gents read this blog, speak up now!

Sunny Smiles Just For You

Good morning sweet friends!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you, filled with lots of crafting time :)  I thought I would share another of our lovely Summer Adorable images with you today ...

Summer Smiles

Isn't she just one of the prettiest girls around?  And her outfit is so cute too.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used a bit of Star Dust Stickles on the hearts on her blouse and purse and the flowers on her shoes.  My papers are by Echo Park and I love the cheery, summer colors.  The leafy die is by Memory Box and the butterflies are from CC Designs Cutters and Impression Obsession.  You can find more details over on my blog and of course you can find all the Sugar Nellie Stamps over at Funky Kits.   

 

Thank you for stopping by.

 

Hugs, Anita
