Feeling Bright!



Evening lovely crafty bloggers! Hows your day been? All's good this end, been to Lincoln today to do a bit of shopping, pay some bills and I had to pop into the art shop to buy a few more copics to top my collection up! Slowly, slowly I'm getting there-buying a few copics here and there will slowly add up-I love em! I do like my Promarkers but I really wish I'd bought copics in the first place, ah well!

I can't believe I haven't posted since Monday, tis terrible blogging behaviour! lol. Well I have done some cards, on Tuesday night I had a card to do for my wonderful friend Michelle for her hubby but from her little boy (does that make sense?!) which I gave to her on Wednesday. Because I was a bit last minute making it I forgot to take a piccy! What a wally! Then last night I made my dt card for tomorrow, and well that brings us to today.

Can you tell I'm feeling bright? I just had to have a go with this little beauty from Sugarnellie! Dena, very kindly stamped her up for me as she keep selling out, I just keep missing out on getting her! These manga kids from Sugarnellie have been super popular, and you can see why can't ya! If you haven't checked out the sugarnellie blog you need to to see all the beautiful new stamps coming soon-including christmas manga kids! These are sooooo adorable, can't wait till they're released!

Stuff: Sugarnellie stamp-Manga girl #2 coloured with copics, mme papers and stampin up, mcgill woodware, and xcut punches for flowers and branch, raffia lace, spacers and buttons from Elaine at the fab Quixotic Paperie, su scallop punch, sewing machine and core'dinations card.

For the layout of this card I've used the Midnight Madness sketch which is another fabby one-the guys over there are just fantastic and the prizes amazing so if you haven't played along yet do check it out! I'm also entering this at Lalaland who want to see stitching-real or faux. Well I'm gonna go catch up with Big Brother-I'll be back tomorrow afternoon with my Stamp Something dt card. Thanks so much for popping by and any comments you might leave-they make my day! Huggles xxx
