Full of Joy!


Meet this little lady who has been hiding within my computer for ages and I had forgotten all about her! I downloaded this little set of images from http://grab-a-doodle-do.blogspot.com/ This is Lilly, I had a feeling that I had invited her to play some time ago but I must have lost her. After some searching of my hard drive I came across her again so I decided to put her to some good use. I just love how this has turned out. This is the same freebie set of papers I mentioned earlier. I stamped Lilly and coloured her with my Whisper pens and Faber Castell pencils. I used my Carla Crafts punch to add some detail and the stamp is from Daisy Bucket. The little butterflies are actually beads that I have had in my kit for ages, I attached them using some glue dots. I added some ric rac ribbon which is green velvet, it also was a freebie with Papercraft Inspirations last issue. I added a little paper flower from Prima and finished with a little twinkly gem from Doodlebug Designs. Oh yes and my ever predictable Stickles glue!! That's me finished for this evening, going to have a glass of wine before bed.

Bouquet.


Went to the supermarket this morning for some necessities and picked up a copy of Simply Cards and Papercraft. It was accompanied by a little book of assorted designer papers which are just adorable. I was instantly attracted to this turquoise and pink combo and decided to team it up with some floral stamps from Clear Expressions. The papers are truly lovely but unfortunately I'm unaware of the designer, so I can't give credit where it's due. I coloured the image using my Whispers pens and Faber Castell watercolour pencils. Punched a little butterfly for a little added effect. I cut a little tag from the same book of papers and used a little run on from Crate Paper, I got so much value out of those rub ons, so versatile! I finished with a little Stickles glue and added a little gem from Papermania. This is especially for a friend who I really should try to see more off, I think we all make those promises but life has a way of keeping us from fulfilling them.

Retail Therapy.


I know I have produced my last few cards using this download selection from www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk but I cant help myself. The are so young and inspiring. This newest addition is Holly from the "Holly and Madison" range. She's a girls after my own heart, a shopper! Began this by layering up some papers from the Pretty Doodles range from www.PinkPetticoat.co.uk the base pink is rose and the doodles are coloured Smoke. I then had a little pink cardstock left over from a previous project and put this through my Cuttlebug using the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. I then cut around Holly and attached her to this. I punched a little border with my corner punch from Carla Craft and layer some grey sparkly sticky ribbon over the top. This was free with a magazine, my favourite kind! I then stamped a little sentiment using my "See Dee's" sentiment stamps and added a little black gem from "Doodlebug Designs". Finished off with a little bit of Stickles glue here and there, just because it's so girlie. Hope you like this one, I really enjoyed myself!
