Hello Everyone....YAY!!, it is Sunday...well, for most of you it has just started...I am at the end of it, but had a lovely day with my G/sons...and a very large chocolate icecream....which I ate too fast and got that horrible nose rush...stinging up into my sinuses...arrgghh...made such a fuss and the boys were laughing so much..lol..was funny I suppose...if you were on the other end of it..

Today I have a card to share with you using this fabulous image from STAMPFAIRY
LENNY ICECREAM  3...from the SUMMER Collection.



There they are, Lenny and his little buddy, scoffing into the biggest icecream sundae..

Image coloured with Faber Castell pencils and the drizzle of raspberry sauce is fabric paint with glitter..



A close up...with the flavours of chocolate, banana,and lime........

The glass and spoon coloured with a blue copic...



Yummy papers...MME 'A Mothers Love'...and the little ice creams are from my trip away and off a key ring...too cute.

The gorgeous ribbon from my stash, love the colour....PC sentiment.

So there we go....STAMPFAIRY  have a spring sale on too..



So pop over and grab some Bear bargains...and other cuteness...so many too choose from and all so darn cute..

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!



Hello Everyone....

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and the weather is being kind..we had a touch of sun today but still the biting wind, but cannot complain as it is Sunday...too cold to venture out so played in my craft space all day..

Today I'm going to share another lovely wedding photo...



The happy couple from STAMPFAIRY  meet Lenny and Linda Wedding 6 

Coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and Linda's designer veil all glittered up too.



The side view... photographed for your viewing pleasure, on red silk....papers from stash and a netting detail on the corner...a beautiful ribbon with roses and gems along the bottom,and a large spellbinders Heart, embossed with a cuttlebug Swiss dots folder...as is Linda's dress.



Another side view [I forgot to do a close up] ...the cute little birds from our local craft shop and the leaf swirls are baking paper used to help the card come out of my dies and my mother always said..waste not want not..I thought they were quite nice.

So there we go....thanks for stopping by and will see you tomorrow...

FRIDAY FUN WITH LENNY



Hello Everyone....

Friday at last and the coldest day of the year..brrr....New Zealand hit by a polar blast from the Antarctic....poor soles down in the South Island,gale force winds, snow,rain, no power....up here on the East coast of the North Island it is still dry but blowing a gale and ...FREEZING..

So for me, I think I would prefer to sit here with LENNY and enjoy his cosy fire...



This is LENNY CAMPING 4  all coloured up with Faber Castell pencils....

Loads of forest trees and his can of baked beans open and ready to eat......

The big full moon glowing down for light and he looks sooo happy..



There's a close up of Lenny, sitting by his warm fire,flames coloured with copics and added glitter for some sparkle..



And the side view...the big die cut dragonfly flying over head is quite safe and came to me as a gift from my friend MANDERLY  ...

So there you go, a card for a bit of fun...and you can get all the cuteness you deserve from STAMPFAIRY.COM  ...



Thanks for stopping by...will see you tomorrow if I've thawed out enough...but will catch up with my blog rounds for sure tonight...

SKETCH TIME WITH FLUTTERBY WEDNESDAYS



Hello Everyone...

The sun is shinning here today, and I have no jumper on...middle of winter, but so beautiful...of course 'My Ladies' dont think so, and think I should have a singlet and vest and 2 jumpers on...lol..but they only sit all day while I zoom around at top speed..
Bless them...

So today is FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAYS  time, and time for one of our Kathy's wonderful sketches...



Now I messed up a bit with my colours....had a try at embossing again, but you cant see the butterflies too well, as I used white embossing powder..duh!!...on white card.



And now they look a lovely shade of grey....



and now they are just pale and shiney...but I did try...lol..

The papers are from Rosies Studio "Weddings"...and the butterfly is a Stampin up..



This is the sketch...really nice and easy to follow...you must remember your Butterfly or Fairy though...

So there we have my poor excuse for embossing...but will not give up, and try again I will...

Thanks for stopping by...will see you on Friday...with some colour...

SOMEONES STEALING MY DAYS AWAY!!



Hello Everyone...

I just cannot believe that it is Sunday already...I have been home a week tomorrow from Australia, and still lagging behind, wandering in a daze, and been severley told off by some of my Ladies for leaving them...lol.

I have a cute little card for STAMPFAIRY  to share today, with an older image and so adorable, a pleasure to colour and decorate..



This is PATSY BEACHTIME 4 



Coloured with Faber Castell pencils and her bathing suit paper pieced with MME "Happy Day"....and glossy accents on the water..




The side view....the little seagulls are actually doves, a rubber stamp from Kaiser..and I adapted them with colouring to make them into seagulls...think it works?

Seedbeads for the edging and Marianne Creatables shell die....nice and simple..

So there we go....a card for a bit of fun for STAMPFAIRY...

See you tomorrow...hope you are having a great weekend....tried playing with my new goodies but Mr Mojo was having nothing to do with it, so put them all away and went back to my old stuff..then made 2 DT cards...the mind boggles at times..

LOOK WHO FLUTTERED HOME!!



Hello Everyone,

Back home safe and sound, nearly broke....but had the time of my life.

Their sales were crazy over in Aussie at the Gold Coast, just about bought a whole new wardrobe..lol..except the crafty stuff took priority...and spent most of my money on dies..[photos at the end of the post if you're keen..]

But today we are here for a new challenge over at...

               FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAYS

and this week[scary as it is]..is CAS...



Single layer card....stamped the butterflies using a foam backed stamp from a candy win from Lisa Jane  aaaages ago.

Coloured them up with different copics and stamped the sentiment, and that is from a magazine freebie "Cardmaking and papercrafts..[great set].



Got a bit of a bend in it as it is only a single layer..and did a squiggle line around the edge...done!

You can check out my expert teamies CAS cards HERE... and link up your cards while you are there, just remember your BUTTERFLY or FAIRY..

Photo time...



Dies...dies...



More dies....



and MORE dies....I'm in die heaven..



A few copics and another key ring with ice cream cones [how cute]...and of coures ladybugs...gotta have the ladybugs.


Some distress inks and the cutest little vials with fairy dust and pirate gold...



And then the overload of paper pads...yummy.

So there we go...I'm a happy camper, and this lot should keep me occupied for awhile..

I have seen these dies all over blogland, and just cannot find them here in NZ..so was overjoyed when I found everyone I wanted but one..but I'm sure he will turn up somewhere..lol..

Thanks for stopping by..will see you on my blog rounds..

VERY EARLY FOR MAKE IT MONDAY



Hello Everyone....

This is a very early post for MAKE IT MONDAY...although it may pop up on the right day, I'm writing it on Thursday morning....WHY!! I hear you ask...well I'll tell you..I'M NOT HERE...NO, I'm in Australia, shopping my little heart out, and hopefully enjoying every moment....but still wanted to post my card up as I'll be late home on Monday night..

This week we are being sponsored by NICECRANE DESIGNS  and I had the pleasure in playing with this adorable Fairy....Sweet Fairies DS5  ...



Coloured with Faber Castell pencils and her wings all sparkled up..



The butterflies are from my last craft trip away, and instead of cutting them individually I plopped them all off the top of the card...after inking their edges.

The crocheted flowers and pearl from my stash, and the little frame came in a set of 3 to a packet, and found them in a box of bits while having a tidy up..as you do..lol.



Another shot...I don't know, some days no sun...other days there is too much...papers from stash as well....

So there we are...my post made days in advance, so no POTW this week, but may do 2 next week...I could do 2 every week, it is so hard as there are so many fantastic makes at MAKE IT MONDAY...Thanks teamie Lisa for taking over with my numbers while I'm gallivanting overseas..

Will see you all next week....

Luv CHRISSYxx
