An early Easter make

It's time for a new Whimsie Doodles challenge and this month it's anything but a card.  I decided to make an early Easter project using the very sweet Bunny Egg...

Such a very sweet bunny!  I used My Favorite Things basket and flower dies and filled it with those dinky cute Cadbury's choccie eggs.  I'm embarrassed to say that the basket is empty now so I'll have to buy some more eggs!!

Okay, check out more Whimsie Doodles inspiration and the challenge deets over at the blog here.

For those of you experiencing terrible weather conditions, keep safe!

Come sunshine or rain....

Well I wish we had some sunshine but we're still putting up with a ton of rain!  So for my Bellarific Friday DT make today, I thought I'd make this card using the sketch we had for inspiration...

Of course, I had to use Uptown Girl Lolly and her Brolly - nothing more appropriate for the UK at the moment!  I used Bo Bunny papers and coloured in some white Doodlebug flower paper trim with my Copics to match the yellow in her raincoat.  The sentiment is from the Lili of the Valley Scroll Sentiments set.  You can't see it very well from the photo but I used Stickles glitter glue on her clothes trim.

Okay, the next challenge is to use washi tape or ribbon so get your creations to Em by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!

I'm here today to show you a card I made for a teenager, of course, trying to speak the same language as her!

This is Social Teen Texting - isn't she cool?!  I followed through on the design with the pretty flower in her hair and used Doodlebug rub-on letters for the sentiment.

I'm afraid it's short and sweet today - it's really hard to type with a bandaged thumb!

LOTV on Create and Craft TV today!

As promised, I have another sneak peek of Lili of the Valley new goodies!  And you can see all of the new release - and buy them too ;) - on Create and Craft TV today at 9am and 3pm today.  Here is my DT make using one of the pre-coloured images from the new James and Jenny Bear art pads and papers from the Pressed in Time pads...

I thought I'd go for a masculine look this time although the hearts make it a little girly - perhaps okay for a father or brother though?!  The sentiment is from the Handwritten Phrases set - I just love this font, formal but not frumpy!

I am hoping to watch the show today - I'll take it as an early or late lunch at work!

A very quick make!

Evening!  I haven't been able to make a card this weekend as I've cut a piece out of my thumb with a potato peeler - you can't imagine how much blood came out of it!  If you want a laugh of how Steve bandaged it up, you can check it out here on my FB page!  I also set up a new crafty FB page which you can follow here if you'd like!  ;)

Anyhoo, I thought instead today I'd show you a sneak peek of a card I made using the new Shabby Shack paper pad and one of the pre-coloured images from the Bunnies art pad...

It was so refreshing to be able to make this card up in 15 minutes and not having to spend ages colouring in and choosing papers to match.  The sentiment is from the Scroll Sentiments set.  I must say though that it did feel like cheating making this card!  

You'll be able to see the new paper pads and art pads on Create and Craft TV tomorrow - check out the LOTV FB post here for more deets about the show.  The pads are exclusive to Create & Craft first on February 10th and then will be launched on the website on February 24th.

I'm off now - I'm finding it really hard to type with my thumb bandaged up!  I'll be back tomorrow though with another LOTV sneak peek!  

You're the cat's meow

There's a new release over at All Dressed Up and it is another super cute set!  The DT are showcasing the sweeties and here is my Dressy Girl make using the very sweet Purrrfect Together digi...

Oh, I just love this kitty kat!!!  I coloured her in with my Prismacolor pencils and matched her up with the flower paper from the Pink Papers collection and a There She Goes sentiment.  You can see more gorgeous Dressy Girls inspiration over at the blog here!

And don't forget our current challenge theme is love is in the air - you could win 3 images of your choice!

I'll be back tomorrow with my Bellarific Babe card with a sneak peek of the new release!!
