Ginger fun!

Hi everyone! There are NEW images in the Whimsie Doodles Store today and the lovely Melyssa has given us another fabulous set of images to play with... some Easter themed cuties and a little fella humor, too!  So, here is my Doodlelicious Diva make using Feeling Lucky...

OMG, how cute is this little guy?!!  I think he'd also be fab for a good luck or St Patrick's Day card.  I used some papers from the My Minds Eye Alphabet Soup collection and used my Darice honeycomb embossing folder.

Check out the rest of the gorgeous Doodlelicious Diva makes over at the blog here and you can buy the new goodies in the store here later today!

I'll be back later with my SugarPea Designs new release sweet sneak!

If you can dream it...

Me again!  Here is my Bellarific Babe card using the very gorgeous Jane Davenport Jane Girl for Stamping Bella...

She doesn't need much to showcase her so I just used Lili of the Valley Beach Bliss papers, simply finished off with some cream twine. Et voila!

Okay, I am off - thanks for visiting and I will definitely be doing some blog rounds this week!

 

Love bug!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend.  It is so horrid, grey, wet, cold here in the South East of England - thank goodness we managed to avoid the snow unlike my buddies further up north!  Apparently it's going to be like this for the whole of March so I'm resigned to it now.  Bleh.

Anyway, I've got my Bellarific Babe card to show you today...

Isn't she delightful?  This is Lovebeetle Huggabugg by illustrator Christy Croll of Tiddly Inks fame. I'm afraid I can't remember where the papers are from - definitely digi papers though!  I used My Favorite Things fence die and my C.C. Designs Woodgrain stamp - this is only about 2.5" so the woodgrain is nice and small for the smaller die cuts. I also used my C.C. Designs Cutters Grass Border die.  The sentiment is from an old Elzybells set which I don't think is available anymore.

Okay, I'm off now.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will be back tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post.  TTFN!

How adorable!

Mandy, owner of by Cupcake Cards and Crafts and creator of gorgeous digi papers has a new collection out called Adorable - and it really is!  I made a set of cards with them...

And I also decorated in the insides so they co-ordinate perfectly (even if I say so myself!).  I used my recently found digi loves by Torico using the sweet Hedge Hogs, Just Bloomed, With A Rose and Puppy & Chick - you can find in her BirdieBrown Etsy shop here.  The birdie image is an Elzybells - unfortunately no longer available.

These papers were such a pleasure to make with!  I have made more cards using this gorgeous collection but that will have to wait for another time!  Thanks for visiting me and bye bye for now!
