I'd love an ice cream right now!

It's time for Bellarific Friday and this week we had a sketch to follow - here is my Bellarific Babe take on it...

I just love this sweet smiling girl!  This is Mo Manning's Lacie With Ice Cream and I matched her up with Design By Dani Beach Love papers.  I also used my new Cuttlebug triangle embossing folder (I guessed you were getting bored with my polka dot one!) and used My Favorite Things banner dies.

So for this week we have the photo below to inspire you...

Send your creations to Em by Thursday 1 August for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!  I will be back later with the last day of the There She Goes July release sneak peak!

You make me smile

It's with sadness today that I write this post.  I have been on Elaine's design team for Quixotic Paperie for 2 and a half years but I have now decided to step down from this fab team.  :(  A big thank you to Elaine for having me on board - not only have I loved playing with the gorgeous stash, it's been a privilege to have made friends with such a kind, sweet, funny person too.  I will miss the team too - big waves to Sandie and Delphine!

So, for my last Quixotic Inspiration project I have made this card...

 

I love this wistful, sweet monster!  This is SCACD Oddly Sweet Moments and you can either buy him here or in a the set here.  I stamped him on my favourite Make It Colour blending cardstock and then coloured him in with my Copics and used my MFT Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags STAX to layer the papers.  The papers are by Design By Dani called I Like I Love You.

Okay, well I am off for now for the very last time for Quixotic Inspirations!  Thanks for visiting and I'll check you out later on my blog rounds - ttfn!

Nutmeg love!

Did you see the new There She Goes release yet?  I'm so lovin' it and the new artists too!  I made this card using sweet Nutmeg......

Oh isn't she the cutest?!  This set comes with the two images and three sentiments.  I matched her up with Design By Dani papers called I Like I Love You.  I wasn't quite sure how to do her hair so I thought I'd try the dotty technique again and I like how it turned out.  Here's a close up...

Right, I am off now.  Thanks for visiting me and I will see you later on my blog rounds!

Monster love!

Hello everyone!  I'm here to show you a card I made with some of my current favourite goodies in the Quixotic Paperie store.  My husband went to visit his parents recently and I really missed him so I made him this card for his return...

Sweet, but not too sweet for my unromantic husband!  I used one of the new monsters by SCACD called Susana Loves Stamps Oddly Sweet Loves Me?  Adorable, don't cha think?!   And I love the matching sentiment too.  I also used the new My Favorite Things Die-Namics heart border die.  Elaine doesn't have any in stock at the moment but you can ask her to order it in for you here.

Well I hope you like my monster love and I'll see you tomorrow with my Bellarific Babe card!

Day 4 of the All That Scraps May release preview!

(Scroll down for my Little Miss Muffet and

MilkCoffee DT posts!)

It's the last day showcasing the All That Scraps May release!  And today we are showing off the new Sweet November collection and here's my make using Elsie...

Isn't she sweet and pretty?  I used some limited edition freebie digi papers by Design by Dani (you can get them here) and I added some glitter to the flower centres to give it a bit of a lift - you can just about see it in the last photo!  The sentiment is from the new AmyR Many Thanks sentiment set and I also used the new C.C. Cutter Fence Border Die, Flower Border Die and Grass Border Die.
