The new releases revealed

Happy Thursday girls
Woooooooooohooooooooooooooo it's time now for the big reveal over at Digital Delights. Yes, twelve gorgeous new Christmas images just waiting to be coloured with your chosen medium. Don't wait girls, run and check them out!!! I promise they are all fantastic.

Introducing Holly Jolly Bonnie and the sentiment Joy

Isn't she just the cutest little thing sitting there all pretty as a little picture?? I couldn't wait to play with her. I coloured her a few times, all with my copics and a little stickles for some glitz , all using different colours but in the end I though she looked best in the traditional reds and greens.
Papers are Papermania, ribbons and gems are from my stash.

It's also time for another fabby sketch over at Delightful Sketches. I do hope you'll play along with us this time.

Also a quick reminder about the Cookie Exchange Party over on SNR today. It'll be a bit on the late side (around 1am) for those of us in the UK but hopefully you've already been over to grab your free image and have your card uploaded. You could win the whole of the November releases girls so it's worth a try. I'm hoping to get my own finished on time but I need another twelve hours in me days at the moment.
I suppose I'd better show you me card now that I've updated you all:)

I'm also entering this into quite a few challenges out there in blogland this week.

1. Cupcake Crafts - Snow Much Fun
2. Allsorts - Bring out your Bling
3. Digital Tuesday - Holiday Wishes
4. Papertake Weekly - Digi Sparkle
5. Doodle Palace - red and white Christmas card

Tres chic

Good evening girls
Just a quick post tonight as this old pc is almost ready to give up the ghost I think. We're still fighting with Acer over me other pc, six months old and it's b£$$%ed!!!! but I won't go there:(

I followed the sketch this week over on Sketch Saturday, loved it as soon as I saw it and it fitted well with a card I'd been asked to make too. So two birds with one stone always wins in my book lol.
The papers are from Costco, yes, I've still loads of these left bit I must admit I do like them. The image is Clarity Stamps I just wish I could do with these stamps what Barbara does with them though!!!! All finished off with some flowers from me stash.

A Little sneaky peek - Digital Delights November release is almost here

Whoop, whoop, whoop - happy dance, happy dance

Can you tell I'm excited? Well can you? Want to know why?

Digital Delights are releasing some more gorgeous new images on 12th of this month.

Would you like a little looksee???

Sorry girls but that's all I can show you just now, just enough to get those creative juices flowing and the pennies almost out of your purse lol but if you'd like to see a few more then head on over to the Digital Delights blog for some more temptations.

We're also sponsoring Cupcake Craft Challenge this week, so if you'd like to have the chance to win a $10 spending spree then make a card following the theme of 'Snow Much Fun' and enter into the challenge. Good luck

A very difficult decison has finally been made

Good evening girls
I just wanted to let everyone know that I've taken the decision to step down from the Funky Fairy's Design Team.
I've loved every minute of being a part of Funky Fairy's and have had the chance to create with some lovely girls but it's time for me to move on and try other things.
I know Shaz will continue to make the most fabulous papers and wish her and the other remaining girls the best of everything.

Digital Delights Friday Freebie

Remember girls our Freebie Friday at Digital Delights has moved to our groups at Papercraft Planet and SNR Card Universe!!
You'll need to join one or both of our groups to get the image without the watermark . You'll find it under the subject Freebie Friday in the discussions area.
Why not use the freebie to enter our sketch challenge 11? There's still loads of time to get your entries in and we'd love to see your creations with this little cutie pie!!


I've used last years K & Co Swell Noel papers, am still trying to use up my stash, it's almost all gone now so I'll be treating myself to some of the gorgeous Christmas stacks I've been seeing around. I then cut some backers and stars with my cricut, mounted the image and the sentiment which was computer generated. I then added the ribbon, bling and stickles to finish it off.
I even managed a few challenges to am a happy bunny today:)

1. Creative Card Crew - ribbons and gems
2. Just Buggin - just bling it
3. Sassy Susie's Challenge - Christmas
4. Crafty Cardmakers - stamping
5. Charisma Cardz - sketch

Check out me new watermark - thanks Elaine

Good morning girls
I hope your all fine and dandy and ready for a fun day of crafting. Unfortunately some of us are off to work:( but no work means no pennies for crafty spends doesn't it? So off I'll trot just shortly but I'll just load last nights card and show off my new watermark which my forum buddy Elaine very kindly made for me
I'd a commission for a card with a dinosaur on, so of course it had to be a Dustin Pike image. His images are just brilliant aren't they? I just hope Zachary likes this little fella as much as I do.
The papers are from the new Funky Fairy's kit 'More for the Men' but believe me these are suitable for all sorts not just the dreaded mans card.
I just love my digi papers, I know most people prefer to buy but for me to print what I need when I need it is just the bees knees. It works out cheaper too, my ink lasts for ages before it needs replacing plus you always have more.

I've distressed quite a bit of this card just by dragging a brown ink pad over parts of the image and the sentiments so it fits nicely into the challenge over on Bee Crafty this week.
Right, had better run for me train!

Funky Fairy's - Challenge 41

Oh girls I forgot to schedule me post!!!! What a bad fairy I am lol
With all the pc problems I'm having just now I seem to be spending more time sorting that than crafting or blogging.
Anyway, straight on to the challenge which this week is Fall. So over at Funky Fairy's would love you to create something with autumnal colours or themed.

I used Dots are Distressing papers for this one, cut the little squirrel and all the other elements with my cricut and if I say so myself it's not half bad lol

As always to be in with a chance of winning a Funky Fairy download you must use at least one Funky Fairy paper on your creation.There are loads of freebies on the Inspirational Blog and of course if you'd like to buy some of these gorgeous papers then there is the Funky Fairys Papercrafts Shop where you will be spoilt for choice.
