You're sweet!

There's a new challenge over at the Alicia Bel blog today and the theme is Candy Treats.  Perfect to get those Easter cards done for next month, but I actually went for a birthday card instead using the very cute Gretel...

Ack!  She is so so adorable!  I love her little pigtails!  I matched her up with NitWit Collection papers called One Birdie Lane and the border and speech bubble borders are Lawn Fawn.  And do you like the sentiment?  Great font, I think - it's from the SugarPea Designs Classroom Cupids stamp set.

You can get more Candy Treat inspiration over at the Alicia Bel blog.  Thanks for visiting and I'll see you again soon - ta ta for now!

Alicia Bel new release

The Alicia Bel new releases for this month is now available in store and the design team are showcasing them over at the blog today.  I decided to use the beautiful Elegant Bride...

A very girlie card for me!  This lady is so beautiful.  I coloured her with my new Polochromos pencils and added some Glamour Dust on the roses, her tiara and earrings.  The papers are called Dearly Beloved by NitWit Collections and the sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.  I also used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside border die to create the curved border.

Check out the rest of the design team's creations over at the blog here.  I will be back soon - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Cookie love

When I saw the For the Boys theme for this week's La-La Land Crafts inspiration, I thought of this little dude straight away and created this card...

This guy is so adorable and I love his hat!  I kept it pretty clean and simple as I thought the papers by NitWit Collections did enough for it!

You brighten my day

I'm here today with the last of my Lili of the Valley sneak peeks using one of the cuties and sentiment from the Happy Bear clear stamp sheet that is being released this Saturday - not long now to get your hands on these sweeties!  Don't forget to join the hop (yesterday's post) to win the whole set!!!!

He's so adorable, I'm sure you'll agree!  The sentiment is also from the set.  The papers are called Party Animals by Nitwit Collections and the hearts are die cut from the SPD SugarCuts Heart Journal Card die set.

Okay, I'll be back tomorrow with my La-La Land Crafts and Alicia Bel DT posts - until then, bye!

Lili of the Valley new release blog hop!

The Lili of the Valley design team are having a blog hop today to show off the new release that will be available from the webite from 31 January.  There are four new rubber stamps and some clear ones too.  I used another adorable bear from the Happy Bear clear stamp sheet for my DT make...

The papers are... guess what... yep, Party Animals by Nitwit Collections and again I used my old Woodware punch for the little stars.

I forgot to mention that I've been colouring in these cuties with my new Polychromos pencils.  Steve bought me the whole 120 set for Christmas - what a lucky girl I am!  Personally, I prefer them to my Prismas as the lead is harder and easier for me to be lighter with them.  I still love my Prismas though so they won't be relegated to the bin!

Back to the hop!  One lucky hopper will win a full set of the new release!  The winner will be announced this Friday.  Here is the hop list...

Okay, I'll be back on Friday with my La-La Land Crafts and Alicia Bel DT posts.  Enjoy your week until then!

Sweet Bear bum!

I've got yet another Lili of the Valley sneak peek of one of another adorable bear from the Happy Bear clear stamp sheet that is being released on 31 January.

Look at that cute little bum!  And I really love the font of the sentiment that also comes with this set.  The papers are (again!) the Party Animals by Nitwit Collections and I used a very old Woodware punch for the little stars (although I don't think they are called stars!).

Okay, that is it from me this week.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll see you next week.

Teddy bear sweetness!

Popping in again with another Lili of the Valley sneak peek of one of the cuties from the Happy Bear clear stamp sheet that is being released on 31 January.

Another cutie pie and the sentiment is also from the set.  The papers are once again the Party Animals by Nitwit Collections and the hearts are die cut from the SPD SugarCuts Heart Journal Card die set.

See you again tomorrow my La-La Land Crafts and Alicia Bel DT posts!

Mmmm....love pancakes!

I could eat a whole pile of pancakes - whatever sort! - and would keep on wanting more!  My favorite are my mum's Chinese style ones which are large (size of a dinner plate!), thick and fluffy and you spread butter and Golden Syrup on them - yum!  I also love my husband's small, fluffy drop scones (not really a pancake not what I'd call a scone either!) with whipped cream, sugar and lemon on top.  I'm nearly dribbling thinking of them both!

You're probably wondering why I'm waffling on about pancakes!  Lili of the Valley have got a gorgeous new release out on 31 January and one of them is called Pancake Day - just in time for the event in the UK on 17 February!  So I've made a sneak peek with him...

I'm going to send this to my mum to hint to her that I'll be expecting her pancakes on the day!  The sentiments are from the new Happy Bear clear stamp sheet, also being released on 31 January.  The papers are called On Nitwit Pond by Nitwit Collections and the hearts are die cut from the SPD SugarCuts Heart Journal Card die set.

I've got some more sneak peeks of the Happy Bear clear stamp sheet from the new release over the next week or so and I'll see you tomorrow with my next one.  Bye for now and have a loverrrrrly day!

Pretty as a picture!

Have you seen the Club La-La Land Crafts kit for November yet?  It's a real cutie and today the team are showcasing some more projects using it.  I've made two cards...

Isn't she a cutie?!  I totally love the all of the camera and accessories dies and that smile sentiment die is gorgeous!  I used My Minds Eye papers and I framed a piece of the patterned paper showing South America - I want to make a trip there next year so I just had to use it!

And here's my second card...

I used the camera dies again in this one plus the border die along the top and one of the sentiments.  The papers are by NitWit Collections called Tour of London.  Of course I would never tour London that as I work there and can't wait to get away from it every day!  But I can see why it is so popular as it is a fantastic city with so many things to do.
