My Final entry for the Sugar Bowl challenge

Here is my third and final entry for the Sugar Bowl challenge. I have coloured this little beauty with promarkers and she has been glittered on her wings with glamour dust. Papers , as always, have dutifully come from the enormous paper stash that I have at my disposal! They don't seem to be going down though, yet I have used loads!! Flowers are from the stash that my dear friend Diane gave me before she moved to Spain. Hugs to her. xxx

Fly free..... Leanne Ellis

I just love these Leanne Ellis stamps and I have managed to acquire quite a few courtesy of a lovely friend in Manchester. There was a bit of a tug of love war with this stamp though as my friend loved it so much that the only condition that I could acquire it from her was that I made her a card using it. It's taken me a while to complete my side of the bargain but this will duly be off in the post in the morning to my friend. I just hope that she likes it!

 

I have used:

Copics and prisma pencils,

Papermania papers

Off cut of Ribbon

Pin, present from a friend.

Metal butterfly Ribbon girl I think.

Poinsettia die Magnolia doohickey die.

August craftbubble friends challenge.

With Craftbubble closing its doors, I really had to join in with Lauren's bubble challenge this month. My card uses a Leanne Ellis stamp from Sugar Nellie, loads of loverly bubbles here! I thought I would also enter this one into the challenge of Anything goes over at the Sugar bowl challenge.

 Having a bit of a sugar Nellie day, as here's another to go with it!

I love promarkers challenge.

It's always my intention to keep in touch with friends regularly, but sometimes real life can get in the way of things and I don't see my friends as often as I would like. I am planning on catching up with a friend  soon though and so I have made my friend Sarah this card.  I am also entering this into the I love promarkers challenge as this week it's die cuts. I am also entering it in to the Sugar Bowl challenge. I used up the papers from the last project as you can see!

Pink Petticoat papers - little hearts and sentiments.
Martha Stewart butterfly punch - distressed with pumice stone distress ink.
Ribbon girl Button twine and Tulle
Magnolia Doohickey heart die.
Elizabeth Bell stamp (Sugar Nellie..old)
Pearls, button and doily from stash.
Promarkers used - coral, sandstone, sunkissed pink, antique pink, cocktail pink, baby pink, blush, Ivory, pastel biege, marsh green, poppy, warm grey 5 4 and 3, blender pen, caramel walnut and henna, vanilla.
Sewing machine.

Wish.

We all wish for many things in life, health, happiness, good friendships, world peace, to name but a few of the most important. I made this card with a few challenges in mind and top of my list is the Sugar bowl challenge which asks for you to use your favourite Sugar Nellie stamp. This one is a lovely quirky one, but I do wish I had them all!

I have coloured this beauty with promarkers and the dies are memory box ones. I have also glittered her wings but it's difficult to see in the photo. I would like to enter this one into the following challenges.

New CMLI craftbubble challenge.

There is a new challenge over on the CMLI group today which has been set by me. I am having fun with tags and here's my effort.

Anybody for a hug?

This little girl hugging her rabbit reminds me of my friend's daughter when she was little. She carried her rabbit everywhere.

New home for a special friend

A very dear friend of mine has recently moved house and here's the card I sent her to wish her well :0) The stamp is a sugar nellie and the papers are nitwit ones.

Brrrr it's cold outside!

Today sees the snow now falling across Bath and it is beginning to settle in places. So it's perfect weather to stay inside, keep warm and craft! Pop over to the craftbubble forum and the CMLI group and you'll find that our lovely Lauren has set us a fabby sketch with some inspirational colour and the theme is take it as red.

My card is a Sugar Nellie image which has been promarkered! Yep I am using them again folks! Don't faint!

New CMLI Craftbubble challenge.

Morning all and welcome back to the CMLI challenge on Craftbubble. This week it was my turn to set the challenge and I have provided a sketch and twist, of something old, something new, something recycled too.
Here's my card. The something old is the brown paper and music card, the something new is my button die and my seam binding and the recycled is my lovely stamp, previously owned by the lovely Diane...sending her lots of love. xx

Berrylicious challenge.

This week on Craft mad and loving it our lovely Lauren has asked us to go Berrytastic! As always we have a fab sketch to follow. Do pop over to Craftbubble and hunt down the CMLI group.  we would love to see you!  For this challenge I did two cards as I wasn't happy with my first one.

Sugar bowl challenge.

Over on the Sugar bowl challenge blog, a blog I have only recently found their challenge is to choose a sketch from their listed ones and include a Sugar Nellie stamp. the hardest part was choosing which Sketch to use and which stamp to use as I love them all but I only have a few to play with. Here's hoping that I win some!! lol!! In the end I chose to use the very first challenge sketch, that way I can work through them all!!

Still catching up!!
