a few more words

A quick post from me as I finish my day here at the House of Sugar. I am standing in for Kate who is enjoying a day out in Glasgow! Aye we know what's she's up too don't we.




So I had a class this afternoon and here is what we made, all ladies enjoyed it apart from making this rosette, a right footer!

Hope you all had a great Saturday and a lazy Sunday planned for tomorrow.

take care

The Sweetest Mermaid

Maria here today with a new card to show.
And today I have Leanne Ellis' sweet sweet Mermaid on my card.
Just Follow the link and you will find her at Funky Kits for a Sweet price too!

I tried to use soft colors with her as I think that that is the kind of girl she is ;)
The Papers are from My Minds Eye (I think it's the Be Amazing pad)
She is colored with Copic.

I hope this card gave you some inspiration to find your Leann Ellis stamps from your drawer or simply to go find some new ones here

Hope you have a Sugar Sweet weekend wherever you are♥

Hello Sugar Addict, how are you all doing?
With a little bit of spring in the air it's a good time to look forward to nice days and holidays. I hope the weather is good with you and a little sunshine and blue sky's are just out side your window.

We have a real mild day here in Morayshire Scotland, it was rather windy earlier on my its very fresh now.
Spring is defiantly here, the school are having a Daffodil tea next week, there are snow drops growing around my craft caravan and its lambing time again. At lease my younger children are kept busy checking the sheep and helping out with the lambing. Pet lambs do not make the farmer smile but the kids do so keep their fingers crossed that there are at least a few pets to hand feed.

Wedding plans will be speeding up soon. The brides dress has arrived at our local Wedding Boutique and I am sure that when Debbie comes home at Easter "to roll her eggs", we will go for a fitting and pick out accessories. Bridesmaid shopping in Pheonixville was a four day event and at long last the order is in and we wait for delivery and keep your fingers crossed that all 4 girls at least fit the dresses. Alterations will be needed all round and then we have to think of there accessories too.

The next job on my list is invites. I am ready to roll!
Peal white card with Stamping Up accent colour card and matching ink, Waltzing Mouse wedding words, a Sizzix embossing folder and some pearls, put em together and what have you got..........bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Not everything is set up in my craft caravan, it has met with a lot of "negative words" from hubby. I still have a little to move out but then that will be one room clear and ready to to make back into a guest room for my visitors this summer. Four and a half months and counting down.

 I don't think I have lost any weight yet, I am trying and my diet has changes a lot but I still have to add in exercise before the lbs will shift by the looks of it.
Now one person who has more strength  and will power than me our own sweetie Ali who is shifting the lbs and doing fantastically. Fiona over on our Facebook group is running a Marathon this year. You girls are both brilliant for sticking to it and seeing the rewards.xx
I can do many things but loosing weight could be my failing, looks like I will turn into my Dad after all :(

I hope you enjoyed our last release, the Pip's especially were a quick digital sugar fix for all your spring and Easter cards. Bring out the yellows and oranges, those colours are sadly neglected in favour or pinks and purples but I know you girls are great crafters and can rise to the challenge. Colouring in is not for the quick fix crafts, time is taken and lots of love to get the right effect, I cant say how proud I am to see so many beautiful cards made with our stamps, both in blog land and on FB.
Sugar Nellie fans are the best.

Lost in Music !!

Good morning everyone, today it's my turn to post a card :)

Click on the picture for a lager view !

I've made this card with the lovely stamp Sugar Nellie - Simply Sassy - Lost in Music
The stamp will be back in stock soon !!!

The papers I have used are from Maja Design - Crea Diem, I just love these beautiful papers.
The tag on the left side is still empty, when I know to whom I send this card, I can stamp a sentiment on it :)
I've also put a tag at the top, this one is from Magnolia.

For the shape of my card, I have used a Go Kreate Die - Large frame Frilly 5, this Die you can also find in the shop at Funky Kits !!!!

The border around the square design paper is a Magnolia Doohickie, the swirl is also from Magnolia, the music note is from Marianne Design, and the seambinding is from the Ribbon Girls. 

I have colored the image with my Copics, what would I do without them :)

Thanks for stopping by, wish you all a lovely day and a fine weekend !!!

hugs Astrid 

Spring Has Sprung!

Today there is a new challenge over on the Sugar Bowl. There is always a sketch to follow, and the optional theme this time is 'Spring'. Whether that be an image that you associate with Spring...how about the new Sherbet Pips, with their Easter theme they are perfect for a Spring card. Or you could use Spring colours, papers, embellishments...it's up to you how or if you follow the theme.


Erika provided the sketch for this challenge, and her beautiful card uses the Sassy stamp So What
I love these pastel pinks and greens and the pretty flower.


Fiona's very sweet card uses the image Porridge. Ain't he just one cute piggy? 
Sent with 'Hogs and Kisses'.


And finally, do I hear a collective aaahhhhhhhh?
This is Kiki's gorgeous card and I'm pretty sure you all know who the gorgeous fairy is by now, but just in case there's anyone who isn't sure, she is the 'fairest fairy of them all' (and my absolute mostest favouritest stamp ever) Pippi Longsocks.

As always, there is one random winner picked from all the entries...but you ain't gonna win if you don't enter!

Thanks for looking.
Love Elaine xx

You're Too Sweet!

Good morning sweeties!  Today it's my turn to share a card with you and I used






Isn't this hedgie adorable?  And what about that yummy cake ... made me hungry just coloring it (haha).  I used copics and colored pencils and added Glossy Accents to the hedgie's nose and the berries.  I also put just a little bit of glitter paint on the frosting.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the eyelet edge.      

You can find this cute hedgie and all the fabulous Sugar Nellie stamps over at Funky Kits

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Anita
