Hope you're all fit, well, warm, cosy and ready to play along with the new challenge over on  Crafty Sentiments Designs.
I'm off to the dentist this morning for my check up so I'll keep it short and sweet.

Our theme this week is Valentine's Day. 

Have you got your loved one's card sorted?  Or are you like me 'Last Minute Linda'?

Isn't it funny how our own cards are always last lol

Sparkle n Sprinkle blog hop

Hi  girls
Guess who forgot to schedule her card for the Sparkle n Sprinkle Mother's Day blog hop this morning?  Talk about make a pigs ear of it!!!  I've had the post all set on draft for over a week and forgot to schedule it last night and went straight out first thing this morning.
Luckily the other girls managed to schedule their posts around me.  HUGE apologies:(

So, now I've got all that out of the way I'll tell you about my card.
I had another little play with some more of these gorgeous blossom stamps from Sparkle n Sprinkle  perfect for our hop eh!!!  I love this set and can't wait for my matching spellbinders to arrive so I can really show them off properly, not to mention it's a bummer hand cutting them all lol.  You can buy the stamps and the spellbinders here for the pricely sum of $59.50 + PP which is just over £37 so a good bargain to be had.

This is not my usual style at all but I am pleased with the end result:) and I think the sentiment and flowers are just perfect for Mothers Day.
These gorgeous papers are another digital set from Shery K Designs. Have you been over and had a look? She has some gorgeous ones and they're cheap as chips too which helps save the crafty pennies:)

Wasn't it lovely to have a wee bit of sunshine over the weekend.  It was still chilly here in Glasgow but nice to look out on a lovely bright day for a change.  It sure lifts the mood.

As it's Monday, it's time for our next challenge on Karen's Doodles.  This is number fifty two, yes we've been going for a full year and couldn't have done it without you.  So a massive thank you to all of you who have joined the fun each week.

It's also time to say cheerio to the lovely Cathy who has been our GD for the month of February and a loyal supporter of the challenge this past year.  Thanks sweetie for your wonderful cards this past month.  I hope you'll play along with our challenges still.

For our challenge this week we've a sketch for you to follow, feel free to flip or rotate is as you wish:)



I needed an anniversary card for next week so decided to kill two birds with one stone and used one of my all time favourites Karen's Doodles image, Tango.  Coloured as usual with my copic markers and a little stickles to her dress and his bow tie.  It looks gold for some reason in the pic but it is pink and not so prominent as it looks in the pic:(  The papers are a digi set from Shery K Designs, have you been over to her blog for a look.  She has gorgeous sets and all very reasonably priced too.  Beads and flowers are from me stash.

So, there's my effort.  I hope you'll find the time to play along this week.

Morning girls
Where did the weekend go?  I think I blinked and missed it.  I can't believe we're almost in February already.  Valentine's Day will be upon us before we know it.  So with that in mind our challenge on Karen's Doodles this week is .............

LOVE

using either pink and white or red and white

I had to be different and use both:)  I combined Elliot and Emma in my graphics programme.  Well they're too cute not to use them both lol  Copic markers as always to collour butI also added some gorgeous bubblegum glitter from Sparkle n Sprinkle to the border of her heart. I wish you could see the sparkle:)  These delish papers are a download from Shery K Designs.  Girls you need to check this lady out.  Her papers are gorgeous and cheap as chips.  I've also glittered the little hearts which I cut with my cricut as was the sentiment.  A gorgeous lace border completed the look.
Hopefully you'll have time to play along this week but remember to use a Karen's Doodles image on your creation.
