Totally Papercrafts - challenge 7

Happy Monday girls
Have you all had a great weekend? Isn't it great to see some sunshine, even though it's not that warm if sure lifts the mood:) Let's hope that's the end of the white stuff!!

Thanks to everyone who played along last week with our Mother's Day/Special Lady challenge over on Totally Papercrafts. We had a blast checking out all your wonderful cards.
Hopefully you'll all play along again this week. Our theme is:-

With all the cute Easter images around at the moment it was difficult to choose an image but in the end I opted for this little cutie patootie from Lexi's Doodles. This is Lillie, isn't she sweet with her little egg hat? There are another couple of her so no doubt you will see her again soon. Papers are DCWV Citrus Stack and I've left the card plain with no embellies as the papers are loud enough lol

Lexi's Creations - challenge 8

Good morning girls
Thanks to everyone who joined in with the last challenge over on Lexi's Creations. Hopefully your ready to play along with challenge number eight which we've kept nice and simple this time by leaving the choice up to you. That's right girls, it's an open challenge, create whatever tickles your fancy.

It's also time for the lovely Joanna Sheen to sponsor us again with her usual £10 gift voucher, all the more reason to play along. Of course you don't need to use one of Lexi's images but it would be wonderful if you did. Have you seen her latest cuties?
This is one, I love butterflies so was eager to use this little beauty as soon as I seen it. I've coloured it with my sakura stardust pens and a sprinkling of glamour dust.

Papers are K & Co Sparkly Sweet range and everything else I had lying around in my ever growing stash. The little brads in the centre of the flowers where white but they just didn't do it for me when I added them then I remembered the tutorial by Lauren Meader on how to colour just about anything with your copics. So, guess what I did? Yip, coloured them yellow. Girls you really must try this, easy as pie!!!! and it also now fits with their challenge :)
So, onto the challenges.............

Copics Creations - colour your embellies

So, onto the challenge, we were given the gorgeous Paulo this week with instructions to make a shaped card. OMG, if it's one thing I hate making it's got to be shaped cards!!!! Don't ask me why, they just don't float me boat lol but my Cricut came to the rescue as usual. I always seem to start with one of the cartridges when I'm stumped and this was no exception.

So, I cut the star shaped card from the Wild Card Cartridge at 5.5" layered on some DCWV Christmas stack papers then another white pearlised piece of card stock which I faux stitched then decoupaged little Pengy and her (yes girls, my Pengy is a female lol) tree into it. I finished her off with some glittery accessories, a few punched snowflakes and a few flat backed pearls from my stash. Better still she covers a few challenges out there this week too.

A little toot and a DT call

Hi girls
Last week I told you all about one of me forum buddies who is trying her hand at digital images.
Well Lexi has gone one better and will very soon be releasing her very own set of unmounted rubber stamps!!!! How cool is that?
Within a matter of weeks she is on her way.

This is where you my blogging buddies come in. Would you like to be a part of this new venture?

Well, would you?

Lexi is on the lookout for some talented crafters to showcase her images, so if your interested in a DT position then she has a little competition for you.
This little cutie is Santa Scruffles, isn't he just adorable.
He has a big part to play in this as he is your inspiration for your DT card. There is more but you will need to visit Lexi to find out all about it and ofcourse download Scruffles.

A few challenges and a lovely new image

Good afternoon girls
It's gorgeous here, am loving this sunshine we're having here at the moment. It's actually warm enough to be outside without a jacket. Brilliant for this time of year here in Glasgow
I've made this card today to show off one of my forum buddies image. Lexi, is going to be trying her hand at some digi images in the very near future. So we set the challenge over on Hobbycrafters this week to use her image. I do hope you'll keep an eye on her blog for when she finally gets things off the ground:)

Papers are K & Co, image is coloured with sakura pens which has given it a lovely sheen, flowers are cut with my cricut and the little gems and brads of from my stash
