SOS- Love on my mind

a sign that spring can’t be far away.

A happy Sunday to you all. I am away from home day but I have love on my mind.
Maybe not the romantic love that Sarah Jessica Parker is always hunting for.

But the red L O V E that is the base for a lot of crafting.

Be it papercrafting, cards, bunting or canvas art.

Fabric love, hearts and cushion's.

Food love, cupcakes! Need I say more.

There are lots of things that say LOVE, as valentines is not BIG for crafters, but LOVE works all year round.

There is love for our partners, the mushy stuff.

That for our family

and again for our  friends.
Even if the word LOVE is not used, the concept is the same.

So what ideas for LOVE themed classes and displays can I come up with.

As always I look at things that have caught my eye over the many years that I have been doing this.
I look at Pinterest where I see many old ideas re jigged and looking stunning.
I look at what we already have available, who does not have a heart punch ?
Go on put your hands up, shame on you!

Today will see a good few Sugar Addicts fall in love with our new Vintage Adorables that were launched yesterday. These beautiful girls will sit very well within a round nestie and with all the other vintage papers, buttons, lace and doily dies that are out right now, these fit right in with the trends.

I have a set of cut doily die and stamps to give away this week.

Get your new Vintage Adorable cards made so that you can show me what you have created.

We will be loading up linky so that you can show everyone your newest Sugar Nellie cards and one winner will be picked from those that join in the fun.

Now I have to go dig out our linky log in details to be able to work it.

Until then, keep colouring and I will be back mid week.

Little Farmer

Hello everyone :o)

I've used the most adorable little boy image for today's card - this is Little Farmer, and he's just perfect for all little boys, isn't he?

I've made this one for my youngest son, who's going to be 5 in a few days... I don't know where the time goes!

Ooh, and don't forget - the gorgeous Vintage Adorables digi stamps will be released tomorrow and we are, of course, having a little hop to show them off :o)

Have a lovely day!

FLASH- Free coloured digi

A few days back I asked a few guidance questions over on our facebook page, as always our sugar addicts gave me food for thought and one was a FLASH point now and then. It might be a discount or a free gift but today its a free coloured digital file.It'scalled FLASH because you have to be quick to catch it. This will only be here for an hour, tell your friends, point them over here but do not post this picture anywhere.

OOOPPPS

You were too slow

better luck next time.

You can print and cut for your own personal use in cards you make by your own had.

All I ask of you is that you respect that this art still belongs to the copyright holder and you do not share, give away or load on to blogs/pinterest/flicker  as it is.
Pictures of your cards made with this image are good to share but not this file.


Why am I being good to you today.........it's my birthday and people have been spoiling me all morning. It's time to pass if forward.

enjoy your day

eat some cake for me

Christmas, Spring, Birthdays and Bloghops!

Good morning Sugar Addicts and a Happy New Year to you all. 

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was good to you...whatever you wished for.

I had a fabulous Christmas, very busy and filled with family and friends but I think someone must have packed up my mojo and taken it home with them as I can't find it anywhere.

I'm sure it'll find it's way back home...eventually.

There is still almost a week left to get your entry into the Sugar Bowl challenge and be in with a chance of winning some sweet rubber.

I had to show you Fiona's gorgeous card before I neatly pack away all things Christmassy.

I love the image Christmas Garland and it's available to buy in rubber or as a digi image.

It's never too early to make a start on your Christmas cards ha!

And now that I've done with Christmas for another year - or thereabouts - the next thing to look forward to is the arrival of Spring, and that's exactly what Shirley's beautiful card brings to mind.

The pretty delicate shades and the ever-so-sweet Cherry Pip.

And a fabulous card from Marianne using the manga stamp Coffee Time.

Most certainly everything stops for coffee in this household. For me, coffee is on the same level as oxygen, necessary for survival (and don't even try to speak to me in a morning until after the 4th cup has gone down)

♥

This Saturday we have the blog hop to showcase the new digi images.

You really don't want to miss this...I have seen the amazing samples our very talented DT have made with them and they are all stunning!

And just before I go...

Happy Birthday Mrs Sugar...I do believe it's Karen's birthday tomorrow.

Hope you have a fabulous day filled with lots and lots of cake :)

Thanks for looking

Love Elaine xx

Sent with Love

Good Morning Sugar Addicts and a Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed your New Year's Eve celebrations. Jane here today with a little card I have made with the adorable Gorgeous Girl 'Sent with Love' stamp which is available here from Funky Kits. She is perfect for Valentine's cards and for those 'Just because' cards and is lovely to colour in. I coloured her with my Promarkers to match these very old papers from my stash and added a little sentiment stamped on Kraft.

I added lots of flowers from my stash and a beautiful wooden button tied with twine and finished with some stick on gems. Has the New Year made you yearn for new stash? Make sure you join us on Saturday when we will be releasing the fabulous new Vintage Adorables images! You are going to love them!

Have a lovely Wednesday!
Jane
