Hi there,

Materials Used:

First Edition Storyteller papers

Crafter's Companion In Bloom die set

Sizzix scalloped square nesting dies

Spellbinders square nesting dies

X-cut oval and scalloped oval dies

Cardstock, ribbon, shimmer dome stickers all from stash

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Spring Cuties With The Cutie Pies

Good morning!

Today I bring you a scheduled and on time post yippee!  I'm here to share my DT card for the latest Cutie Pie Challenge - our theme this time is 'Spring Cuties' and we are sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo!

For my card I've used one of their super cute digi images called Flower Bird which I've coloured with Promarkers.  Whilst I now love my Polychromos I've not yet found a suitable paper for printing on that I don't have to pre cut to size so for now I'm saving them for rubber stamped images rather than digis.  Actually, I think I love them both equally and there's certainly room in my world for both!  It's a complete fluke that my image matches the papers as I coloured the image before I chose the paper - lucky guess!  I think the sentiment goes really well with the image too, It's been in my stash for ages just waiting for the right moment!

Materials used:

Bugaboo digi image - Flower Bird

Crafter's Companion Solar White Neenah cardstock

Promarkers

MME Happy Day papers

Magazine freebie sentiment stamp

Black cardstock, button and twine from stash.

Thanks so much for dropping by, we'd love you to come and share your cute creations with us!

Hugs,

Shona xx

James Bear Valentine

Hi folks,

I'm just hopping on to share my Valentines card I made for the last Cutie Pie Challenge.  Sadly this challenge is almost closed but there's still a little time left to join us if you're quick.  Otherwise why not join us for a fantastic new challenge beginning on the 12th!

It's been a mad few weeks hence the lack of blogging.  I've now reverted back to my old job and am feeling much less stressed now.  I just need to get my crafting mojo back and I'll be sorted!

So on to my card.  This is the first time I've coloured this image and I've also used Polychromos rather than my usual Promarkers.  I'm really starting to love colouring with pencils and as my confidence grows so does my pencil collection!

Materials Used:

James Big Heart stamp - LOTV

Faber Castell Polychromo pencils

sentiment stmap - Dovecraft

papers from Poundworld

cardstock, button and twine from stash

Thanks for stopping by and apologies for my lack of posts recently.

Hugs,

Shona xx
