A NICE CHILLY CARD ON A VERY HOT DAY!!

Hello Everyone...and a very hot one here today in NZ...and managed to get the PANTYHOSE off a long last....changed to summer sheets and lighter blouse..Horray !for 'My Ladies'..finally they have felt some heat...had to get to 31o though..UGH!!

But have a nice chilly card to share today using that gorgeous image from Stampfairy


CLEMENTINE WINTER 2

Her little hat and scarf were paper pieced with papers from Rosies Studio "Garden"
and her giant snowball embossed with cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots 'folder...

There she is all coloured up with Faber Castell pencils..and I forgot to do her bow...

Added two strings of pearls...pom poms and Magnolia snowflakes....

And the side view...sentiment stamp from Kaisercraft...love that set.

Now if these pictures are loading slow or not loading at all it is because somehow I saved them as png or pgn or whatever....and not the ususal way as blogger was being so silly and messing everything around so had to get them from ipiccy..and think I made a boo boo..plus did you know I'm not following anyone??? well...that is what blogger is telling me....and having a real hard time getting on  to comment.

So hopefully see you tomorrow and thanks ever so much for popping by...

HERE COME THOSE CIRCLES AGAIN - WITH FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY

Hello Everyone....and ooo...I'm nearly late..I was making a card and on a roll.. everything going well...glitter all over the carpet..Oh! so pretty with the lights on...and then I remembered my FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY    post,,just in time.

This week we have an Open challenge "Any winged Creature"...we like those don't we...lol..

This sweet liitle Fairy is called "Waterfairy"  and was a freebie from the net...

She has been coloured with Faber Castell pencils in blues and greens...loads of glossy accents on her wings and in the water and bubbles...

I added lashings of seed beads down the sides and all over the floor...looks lovely now with the glitter as well..lol..

The flower is a Marianne creatable die,and I use some florist cellophane as the centre petals as well as the background for papers. .then added a green gem brad..and then came the circles...couldn't resist..

And one more photo that I played with on ipiccy.com...

So thanks ever so much for popping by and the comments you leave..I really do appreciate them.

FROM AN OVERLOAD TO MINIMAL!

Hello Everyone....

My Sunday is coming to an end.. and a very hot and sticky one..

Why. oh why, do my ladies need to wear pantyhose in this heat..it is beyond me.

I get so hot getting their feet in.. then the heels.. then slide em' up to the knees and all the way...huffing and puffing and gasping for air...lol..such a fun job.

So a bit of a change from the overload card the other day...but saw a challenge come up for MICE....yep!...Winter Wonderland  want a "Christmas Mouse"...and I thought how cute is that...so here is my almost CAS card with my Christmas Mouse[Mice]..

A cute Penny Black stamp "Sharing Christmas"...a wooden stamp I have had forever...

These little cuties were coloured up with Faber Castell pencils....the christmas tree branches with copics....

It looked a bit white so used a sea sponge and stippled the background with SU Old Olive..

Being waiting and waiting to use these cute little lights, a scrapbook embellie from theWarehouse....papers from my stash.

Going to enter this at Winter Wonderland   [Christmas Mouse]

Thanks so much for stopping by...and big welcome to my newest follower, thank you so much for joining me...

Hope you are all having a great weekend...

Some fool outside is burning something and the smell is pouring into my flat[cough..cough] and stinging my eyes...[sniff]....where's my hose!!!..lol...

ANOTHER OH! SO CUTE - FOR FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY

Hello Everyone...

A very wet and windy day here in NZ today...but not cold, so that was good..we had thunder and lightening last night and I was boy sitting my youngest G/son...we didn't see the lightening as we were in the closet...lol..and I told him I was just pretending to be scared to make him laugh...NOT!!!
It lasted for 3 hours or more, and I hated it...poor Harry was beside himself and squeezed in the closet too..lol..what a night.

But today the thunder has gone..still raining very hard and such fun jumping in puddles like a big kid...and you always look like the doting Nana when you have a young boy with you doing it too...oh! if only people really new me...

Today we have a new FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY challenge up...and this week we want to see Thanks/Be Thankful..

A bright blue sky with big fluffy clouds...inked up using distress ink  'Broken China"

Hello Everyone....nothing to say about work...except I'm confused...lol..and not happy...lol...have to cut down to 6 days..[sad face]...loose money..[another sad face]..
BUT!!!...talk about laugh when I told "My Lady" that I have to step down one day a week...she is LIVID...lol..

See.. no talk of work...sort of..

Onto business...A new challenge at Fab'n'Funky   and they are looking for "CUTE"..

STAMPFAIRY is their sponsor and I'm joining in as GDT for support..

And who cuter [except for Barry]...but this little guy called HUGO  from the Critters Collection at Stampfairy ...

Coloured with Faber Castell pencils and a copic or two on his scarf and ball...

Fabulous papers are MME Tangerine...and the pretty orange flower was from my $1 donation to the Arthritis collection....[when you purchase something..I'm not that cheap..lol..]

The side view...and some real cute embellishments from my stash...

Had to do the collage...could not resist...the little dome with the leaves is a shaker and won this from Lisa's candy ages ago...and the little doggie was a key ring charm and tied in place with leather cord.
