SECOND WEEK AS GDT WITH LILI'S LITTLE FAIRIES



Hello Everyone....

My second card as Guest DT for Lili's Little Fairies  and this week they are looking for colours...Purple and Yellow ..to be exact.....tricky some might say, and to me they were.. until I remembered these pretty papers that were a freebie in a magazine..called  "Sweet Memories"...



Ahhh...now my colours came together...and the papers have no purple in them at all..but they gave me inspiration anyway...the sweet image, which I think is just gorgeous, is Swing Time  from the little girls collection page..at LOTV ..




Coloured with Faber Castell pencils...awww just too sweet.





The side view...pretty lace from my stash and the birdcage came from my last trip to Australia...in June....which is coming up again real soon..

I hooked the bird cage on the Cheery Lyn vine...

So there you go, my Little Fairy fame has ended...lol..thankyou girls for having me...

Hope you are having a great week....and hope I have finally caught up with you all...thanks for stopping by, will see you soon..

A FLUTTERING SCENE



Hello Everyone...

First off, I wish to thank all my DT's for covering for me while I sat home with nothing to do while my PC was out of service...it really drove me bananas..and I'm not sure if I'm up and running now either as this is another  scheduled post...

Wednesday has approached, and time for a new FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY 


The theme this week Flowers..Butterfly...punches and or dies...

And this week I have something a bit different to share...

SORRY PICTURE HEAVY.....but wanted to show all the steps and mess ups..lol.






Started with an artist canvas 6x6..


Decorated the front and made a total mess, so tried to peel it off...oops!!



Then decided to add on a MB border die....



That went fairly well...



Added some Berries and flowers....and little birds.



And a little gnome and gorgeous butterfly....




Paper inside and around the outside edges...MME' Lost and Found Two'





And lastly, my Baby Fairy...snoozing away on his toadstool..ASHEE from A and T digital Designs....

Image coloured with Faber Castell pencils....and the little gnome was from the local book store, they have tiny little fairies too, which I'll share one day..

Thanks for getting this far if you did...had such fun making this canvas.

Hope you will join us at Flutter By Wednesdays..

For my POTW...#180 Donna  ....

ANOTHER SUMMER BEAR CARD



Hello everyone...

Well my friends...here's the scoop...my Modem has died...he hung on for as long as he could...sometimes we connected, most times we didn't..and now we DONT.

My lovely Son bought his modem around today until my new ones arrives,so I could write to a few DT's explaining the situation.. and then came back this afternoon with his modem again so I could do a few posts...what a SON!

So right now, I'm here to share a card I made for FAIRYTALE STAMPERS in support to their challenge as STAMPFAIRY  is their sponsor this week....and the theme over there is Punches and dies..


And there is Lenny Summerfun 3  playing under the sprinkler...oh!..such fun..

Papers are Authentique "Endless and Fair Weather"...



These wee cuties are coloured with Faber Castell pencils...the brolly has been paper pieced and glossy accents added to the water...

The grass was punched with my Fiskars grass punch [love that punch]...



The side view....cut a few circles with my nesties and added flower buttons with tiny buttons inside...


So there we have it....thank you for popping by....will be so glad to get my new modem...hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday, then I can play catch up...

OH CHRISTMAS TREE...



Hello Everyone...

I've been a bit quiet lately,been run off my feet... but had a day nearly to myself today, so played in my craft room for awhile and made a card for a challenge over at Winter Wonderland...

The theme is 'Oh Christmas Tree' and that song has gone round and round in my head all day...lol..so here is my make..



That is a lot of trees using my die from Chrissyxx that she so kindly sent me.

A simple stair step card which I managed to mess up the measurements again, but at least it stands up on its own..

Cut the background tree in a foil card and decorated it with gems...then just added trees from black.... to light green coming forward....and a few patterned papers ones too..



Looking down onto the card....with it's snowy floor, and a little reindeer jumping out from behind a tree..lol..

Added lots of glitter to the snow and foil snowflakes on the trees...

The gorgeous background papers are MME... [believe it or not].." O Christmas Tree.'.



A semi side view...

Had a lot of fun making this card...added a LOTV sentiment...all done..

Thanks for stopping by...hope you have a wonderful weekend and will see you again on Sunday...


Big welcome to my new followers, lovely to have you join me, thank you so much...

Luv CHRISSYxx

TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU



Hello Everyone....

WOW!!! what a week and I'm only half way through.....these weeks can be so difficult, but you gotta keep smiling....happy,happy,happy.....and I am really...it's just that, when someone decides to use a microwave [ that was not plugged in]....but figured it out how make it go and put a can of spaghetti inside it....we need to tell them to  take it out of the can first....it heats better and the microwave does not arc!!!

Yes, she has been severely reprimanded for her own safety....poor thing..she said she forgot that I was coming to do her lunch.....and she gets meals on wheels 7 days and never needs to cook...lol..she just forgot.

Anyhow..onward and upward, and today is FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY  time...

Beautiful creations for our anniversary/love challenge last week...gorgeous ..thanks to all who took part...

This week we have an OPEN CHALLENGE..so anything you want, just make sure there is a butterfly or Fairy there...


Gave me a chance to use this gorgeous Ina Jane image which you can find HERE  plus many more....gorgeous site.

All coloured up with Faber Castell pencils on her body and hair....a pink cpoic RV42 for the flower and green G21 for her dress..with lashings of glitter on those wings...playing with little friend the Bee...who has a good dose of glitter of his own..



A close up of the image....
