Taking it slowly....

Well, not me personally - this week has flown by, it's been manic!!  I've got so much to think about at work and home and I haven't even spent any time studying - really gotta get going on that!

Anyhoo, the title of my post refers to this little cutie using lots of lovely Quixotic Paperie stash!

 

 

Isn't he a sweetie?  This is one of the new Emerald Faeries called Boo & Snookie (aren't they the best names ever?!!).  I used my Sew Easy Tool with the Zig Zag Piercer Head and finished it off with flowers using the Marianne D creatables Chinese Rose dies and beads.  Quixotic Paperie has run out of the brown felt ribbon, but you can buy it in other colours here.

I used the Prima Madelaine paper that is unfortunately out of stock now, but there are a host of gorgeous Prima pads in including the latest arrivals which came today here!

White and one other colour over at A Spoonful of Sugar!

(Please scroll down for my Totally Ladybug Tuesday DT post)

It's time for a new challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar and this week we are challenging you to 'white and one other colour' - yep, you read that right, not black and white and one other colour!  I was a bit scared when I saw this myself but you are allowed to use colours on skin, shoes, etc - as long as the main colours are white and one other colour!  Here is my take on it...

 

 

Aren't they the cutest?!  These are from the Larakins range of The Emerald Faerie Garden called 'Ashton & Boo' - I love them!  I got mine in digi form (here) but you can buy them in stamp form too. And how about the paper?  This is a digi one I recently got from Cupcake Cards & Crafts called 'shabby stripes' - it comes in 16 colours and only costs £2.50, such great value!  Now, I love my branded DPs and no doubt will continue buying them, but I find these digi paperss are very useful basics!

I am entering this into Emerald Faerie's first ever challenge for anything goes and also the following challenges:

• Sir Stampalot for magical worlds
• Craft Your Passion for anything goes
• Stampavie and More for pearls
• Dare to be Sassy for monochromatic
• Catch the Bug for flowers and pastel colours
• Sketch N Stash - use any of their sketches...I used no 7...

That's it from me today - have a great week!
