New Alicia Bel challenge - Christmas!

It's the start of a new Alicia Bel monthly challenge and the theme is ... wait for it...CHRISTMAS!  So get your skates on and finish off the stack of cards you need to make before final posting dates!  Here is my DT using the beautiful Xmas Faery...

What a gorgeous faery, huh?  I love her little outfit!  I matched her up with My Minds Eye papers, a Simon Says Stamp vent die and a My Favorite Things snowflake die topped off with a lickle ickle red button!  The sentiment is a Paper Smooches die.

I hope you can join in with our challenge for a chance to win an Alicia Bel digi.  You can get all the deets and more gorgeous DT inspiration over at the blog here.

Thanks for visiting and I'll see you on my blog rounds later today - ttfn!

Snowflakes - no thanks!

The theme over at La-La Land Crafts blog this week is Snowflakes!  As pretty as they are, I'm not looking forward to any sprinkling of them any time soon - they're not nice when they start to melt and turn into ice!  Hopefully, we will have a couple of months to go before we see them here in the South East of England.  But anyhoo, here is my DT take on it...

Here's a list of the La-La Land Crafts goodies I used:

Snowflake Garland Marci

Sentiment from the Christmas Elf Marci Stamp set

Snowflake Banner die

Stitched Elements

Copics used:

Face: E000, E00, E21, R02, R05

Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37
Outfit: BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08, E31, E33, E35

Isn't she beautiful?  I love her garland of snowflakes which I heavily sprinkled with Glamour Dust.  As you can see, I also created a shaker window.  I embossed the stitched circle around the window for interest and used Doodlebug sequins.

Here's tip - when creating a shaker card, glue several sequins in place before adding the rest of the sequins loose to ensure that some stay up in the window rather than all dropping down to the bottom.  I hope that makes sense!

Check out the rest of the DT snowflakey creations over at the blog here!  I will be back later with my Alicia Bel DT post - see you then!

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!

Copics used:

Face: E000, E00, E21, R02

Hair: E31, E35, E37
Outfit: R00, R27, R02, R05, R08, YR31, YR24, YR27, C03, C05, C07, BV04, B66, B69, BG70, BG72, BG75

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.

Copics used:

Face: E000, E00, E21, R02

Hair: E50, E53, E57
Outfit: R20, R27, R29, B21, B23, B28, C01, C03, C05, C07

Alicia Bel inspiration time!

(Please scroll down for my La-La Land Crafts DT post!)

Today the Alicia Bel design team is giving you some inspiration from the fabulous goodies available in the store.  I decided to use this gorgeous girl Frog Kisser...

Isn't she beautiful?  And this is the first time I've attempted a dark skin tone using Copic E31, E33 and E35.  I'm going to try an Asian/Chinese skin tone soon!  I also added Glamour Dust to her tiara although you can't see it very well in the photo - it's blinging!  I popped the white frame on foam pads for depth to frame her.

I used Lili of the Valley Shabby Shack paper, a Memory Box flourish die, Whiff of Joy speech bubble die and La-La Land Crafts Lotus Flower die, topped off with a Doodlebug glittered brad.

Check out some more inspiration over at the blog here - you won't be disappointed!  That really is it from me today - honestly!

Baby in a pod

I found this card today in my box of cards that I forgot to post!  I made it well over a year ago when I was still on the CC Designs team.  Unfortunately, I don't think you can buy this stamp any more, but I think you'll agree that it is adorable!

So cute!!!  The papers are by DCWV and I used a Memory Box die for the background.  The heart is a CC Designs die and I used a very sweet My Favorite Things scallop border die.

Now all I need is a friend to get pregnant and have a baby so I can give this to her!

Thanks for visiting - I will be back on Friday with my La-La Land Crafts and Alicia Bel DT posts - until then, enjoy the rest of your week!
