Quixotic Challenge-I Believe In Fairies

Afternoon friends! Ooo we've got a great challenge for you this week over at Quixotic Challenges-the theme being I Believe In Fairies. All the dt used some of the fabulous CC Designs Sweet November Fairy stamps by the super talented Amy Young. You can check the full range out here. We've been lucky enough to have Amy guest dt with us too this week so do check out the gorgeous samples at the blog.

Amy's stamps are some of my favourites out there, I love how funky they are! I've coloured her in using copics but on the hair I went over it with a copic spica glitter pen. All the papers and elements are from the fab paper pack by MME Love Me Do.

Here's an image close up:~

Mojo Time!

Evening everyone! Ooo I think I'll just about make the mojo monday deadline by the skin of my teeth! I hope anyways-am not much good at understanding all this time zone business with + this and - that! Tis contest time again...and I'm telling ya it is my mission to win once over there at some point...

Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend! In the end me and Ian went to Lincoln shopping on Saturday as our 'time away' and had a lovely time:) Had a leisurely lunch...had a wander then spent a good amount of time in the bookshop having a little read while drinking iced coffees, then back home in time to catch the X-Factor. Lovely! Both me and Ian love reading, I don't read now as much as I did before Leo, I often listen to audio books now, while I craft! But yesterday I decided to buy the Twilight series since well, it seems, everyone has read em and loves them. Have been resisting getting them as I didn't think it would be my thing, am not much into vampires but so far so good:) Am really enjoying em!

Anyways....I came on to show you my card! I got this super cute girly by The Greeting Farm as soon as Elaine at Quixotic Paperie got her order delivered the other day! Had my eye on her since she came out, I think she's fab! Totally enjoyed colouring her in too:) Elaine has also got all the other new Greeting Farm releases in over at her shop so fill yer boots! I used some more Urban Prairie papers, and had went wild and used two different thread colours on my sewing machine! hahaha.

Stuff: Laundry stamp by The Greeting Farm available here, basic grey urban prairie papers, distress ink in worn lipstick, sewing machine, tulle from here, bling from stash, core'dinations cardstock, pins from here

Here's a little close up of the girly...dreaming of better things me thinks, at least she looks pretty though, I don't look that good sorting out the washing!

I'm also gonna enter this over at Anya Ink, a new challenge blog set up by my Beautiful and super talented friend Tracey and Marcia, who makes gorgeous creations too! The challenge there this week is to use patterned paper (easy right?!) so do go check it out! Also at Caardvarks (new blog to me!) they want us to do something fabulous with ribbon,

I'm ashamed to say I haven't been getting round to visit you all....and I'm so sorry! I shall though! I am keeping a keen eye on everything through my little google reader...am watching! Soon I'll get round and do some visiting, thanks for coming by to see me and any comments you might leave-love hearing from ya!

Incase anyone's interested this card will be going over into my etsy shop shortly to find a new home:)

Had quite a busy day today, took Jane to a local card class as she's just got into crafting and she really enjoyed it, then this afternoon we took Leo to the park, that doesn't sound a lot but we haven't sat down all day! Has anyone else not had their magnolia club stamps arrive yet? Maybe I'm last on the list! hehe. Ooo forgot to mention I got the top card at the Pink Elephant the other day, couldn't believe it!

Thanks for stopping by! See yas tomorrow!

Mojo Monday

Hello lovely crafty friends! What fantastic weather we're having! I do love a bit of sun-getting a bit of a tan as well:) Well today is Monday so that means it's Mojo time! I do so love their sketches! This week it was quite a simple one-but in a good way, got to say though I felt a bit out of my comfort zone at some points as it has much less layers than I've been using recently. I really am pleased with the finished result though as it's so different from the last 10 or so cards I've made. I was going to post last night but I had an urge to make some little boxes to put brads and buttons in, they've turned out really cute:)

I made the flower as a diy lollipop flower and I used some craftynotions glimmer mist which was fun to add the green shimmer and popped a touch of fireburst violet on too. 

Materials: Sugar Nellie stamp 'windswept' coloured with Promarkers, Basic Grey Wisteria papers, Craftynotions pigment spray in green lustre and fireburst violet, pearls from stash, SU ribbon, The Artistic Stamper sentiment, Core'dinations cardstock.

Hope you likey:) thanks for stopping by and for any comments you may leave-I really appreciate your feedback! Ta ta.

Spoonful of Sugar and Mojo Monday

Hope everyone has had a great bank holiday weekend?! I've had lots of fun-Saturday we had a lovely picnic with some friends we hadn't seen for ages and ages and had a looky round a car boot-found a gorgeous mirror that I'm going to do some bits and pieces to then will show you. Yesterday my nephew and his girfriend phoned me out of blue and said they were going to pop round which was lovely, hadn't seen them since my wedding in January. Then today which was hubbys birthday we went to the seaside which was lots of fun-Leo loved building sandcastles! How gorgeous has this weather been? Loving it! Above is piccy of Leo and Ian on the beach today!

Ok so onto the card....Over at A Spoonful of Sugar to celebrate being 1 yr old there is fab prizes to be won and the theme is celebration so I've made a birthday card with one of my gorjuss girls. I also followed the sketch over at Mojo Monday, I love their sketches! I used my new nesties too-I love them lots:) I actually forgot to take a pic of the inside so I may add one tomorrow if I remember, but it's basically just decorated with off cuts from the front and a label nestie to add a greeting to.

Materials: Basic Grey wisteria paper, Bazill bling cardstock, Sugar Nellie stamp gorjuss girl coloured with promarkers (aubergine, amethyst, lilac, olive green, magenta, ivory, blush, rose pink, and blossom), Prima flowers, nestie, distress inks (weathered wood and dusty concord) and paper lace.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave-very much appreciated!

Mojo Monday

Here's my card for this weeks Mojo Monday which was a lovely sketch, bit different as there's not many layers compared to recent sketches I've followed. Love the stamp I've used, it's a Sugar Nellie Elisabeth Bell design called Birdhouse but I masked the birdhouse, it's quite a big stamp, really versatile. Have you seen the new Sugar Nellie's to be released end of the week? They are lovely, think I might have to treat myself:) 

Materials:

Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie papers, dcwv blossoms and butterflies stack

BoBunny ribbons

Sugar Nellie stamp coloured with promarkers

Prima vagabond flowers

Papermania and doodlebug brads

Sentiment from elusive images stamp plate

Just a little post tonight, as hubby is using the compy for his OU course so am off to watch Shameless and ponder on who to pass an award onto given to me from the lovely Lorraine

Easter Wkend

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Hope the Easter bunny has brought you lots of choccie too. We had a lovely today at a local farm park with Leo-he had so much fun. I loved all the animals, though a rather over enthusiastic donkey started nibbling my handbag-think he may have took a few sequins with him! 

Well todays card is for Mojo Monday, which is a sketchie blog-am getting well into these now aren't I?! I used a gorjuss girl coloured with promarkers (the hair colour is modelled on mine hehe), dcwv rockstar stack, we r memory keepers glitter rub ons, prima flowers, papermania brads, ccsr stamp, and bo bunny ribbon. It was a really fun sketch to work with. 

The only thing about Bank Holidays is no mail! I'm waiting for quite a few goodies to arrive, some lovely new stamps among them, argghhh I want them now! Thanks for stopping by!
