Happy Holidays over at Di's Digi Desigsn

Hello

Firstly I have to apologise to Di and the rest of the design team for my late DT Post for this week's challenge.  I thought I had scheduled my post but it appears not to have been the case!!  I usually check to ensure scheduled posts have posted, but I didn't get a chance on Saturday and we were away on Sunday as we travelled down and stayed overnight in Birmingham to attend the Sports Personality of the Year Awards at the Genting Arena which was great.

Anyway as the saying goes - better late than never!

There is a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this fortnight the theme is

Happy Holidays (any Winter Holiday)

I've used the super cute Three Chilly Penguins which is available from Di's Digi Stamps which I coloured  with Copic pens.

Ribbon, Lace and/or Twine over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

Perhaps the title of this post should read "Better Late Than Never" as it should have been published yesterday, but life here has been a little hectic!  We are currently in the process of decorating one of our bedrooms and it just so happens to be the bedroom that I have a small craft area in.  This has meant that I've had to pack up all my craft supplies and temporarily re-house all over the house (basically anywhere these is a space!!).  On top of this I've had to work late most nights this week so it's left little time for crafting or blogging!! Anyhow, I better get on with why I'm posting.   

It is time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this fortnight the theme is

Ribbon, Lace and/or Twine

I've used the super cute Stitch for You which is available from Di's Digi Stamps which I coloured with Copic pens.

Birthday Roses

Hello

I'm just popping by to share the birthday card I made for my Mother-in-Law's birthday.


The image is from a set of rub-ons which I bought ages ago, but as my Mother-in-Law loves her garden and flowers I thought it was perfectly fitting.


Using a ZIG Two Way Glue Pen I edged the card with glitter.  In real life it gives the card a lovely sparkling effect. Rhinestones were added around the image and in two of the corners.  The sentiment was stamped and embossed using WOW Metallic Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder.

Anything With Wings over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It seems ages since I posted on my blog but these last few weeks have just flown by.  

Last week my son got his A Level results and he did extremely well and was accepted by his first choice University (Newcastle) to study Architecture.  We were so proud of him and a little relieved that things has worked out how he had hoped.  We are now getting ready to celebrate his 18th birthday on Bank Holiday Monday.  He didn't want a party so we are going out with family to a local restaurant on Monday evening then later next week he is meeting up with friends for a meal.  

Anyhow enough of my waffling as its time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this week we want to see Anything With Wings (eg. butterflies, fairies etc.).  For my DT card I used Mouse with Love



The image has been coloured with Copic pens.

Birthday Flowers

Hello

Hope you are having a good weekend whatever you are up to.  We went out today for Sunday lunch which was a very nice treat and later I'm hoping to do some crafting and hopefully get ahead with some DT cards.     

I made this card earlier this week, but only got around to photographing it today.  


The image is Armfuls of Daisies from LOTV which I've coloured with Copic pens then fussy cut out. To give the illusion that the bunny's tail is fluffy I used a mixture of flower soft and fun flock.  Daffodil Liquid Pearls has been used in the centre of the flowers.

Story Teller

Hello

We have a new challenge starting today over at Sugar Nellie and the theme for this month is anything goes as long as you use an image or stamp sold by Funky Kits, which is the home of Sugar Nellie.

For my DT card I've used Story Teller which you can find here.  I usually use a 6" x 6" card base, but for this card I've used a 7" x 7" card base for a change.  I quite like the result and will have to make more.



I coloured the image with Copic pens then cut her out and positioned her, slightly raised, in the bottom left corner.  Her wings have been given a generous coating of glitter (not very visible in the photo - sorry!).
