IT'S HERE AGAIN!!


Hello Everyone...

It's here again...Monday morning and hope you all had a great weekend and ready for the new week.

A new MAKE IT MONDAY is ready to start and thanks to all who linked up last week..so many fantastic creations... and congrats to the winners..

This week we are sponsored by Scrappers Delights and I was able to choose an image to play with....so I picked this gorgeous Mermaid..

Nerissa Mermaid 



So lovely to colour...I used my Faber Castell pencils and a blue copic on her tail..



I love my new MB die "Bamboo Shoots"...makes good seaweed.

The tiny rocks were stamped onto kraft then the edges inked a bit..

The beautiful 'Seahorse' was made locally and quite soft..not sure what it's actually made of..when I first saw what she had to offer..I thought they were clay...but they are more like soft rubber...lol..I dont know,but will find out.



The side view...no DP's..just blue cardstock...and tried a new background for the water by using a sea sponge and dabbing all over with ink..added glitter to her body,tail and the flowers in her hair and she was complete..




For my POTW this week...well, I just could not go passed this cutie from #254 Desire


Look at that little face...too cute..and the beautiful flowers Desire makes..thanks for sharing with us Desire..

So off you go to link up your cards and projects...as long as you have used paper somewhere on your work.. you are good to go...

LENNY CUPCAKES..YUM!


Hello Everyone...

Well!!...what a time we have had here in New Zealand in the last 24hours...

An Earthquake measuring 6.2 down the lower North Island and I felt it swaying...silent...but swaying...now a storm has hit the upper North Island cutting power to thousands...and here I am in the middle on the East coast holding my breath and praying it just goes away and does not meet in the middle...lol..it is windy enough and having an awful time taking photos..Barry's and Lenny's flying all over the place.

Which brings me to todays inspiration DT card for STAMPFAIRY 

 Lenny Cupcakes 3 



This is Lenny with his girlfriend sharing a cupcake...





All coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and the delicious icing is fabric paint covered in glitter...

The smaller cupcakes border..I stamped onto patterned papers...then stamped the tops again for dimension and added loads of glitter..and a little pearl on top...




There's the side view and you can see the dimension a bit better...papers are MME 'The Sweetest Thing'..and MME 'Happy Day'...the spotty ribbon is from my stash...

No sentiment yet..but will probably be a birthday card or a Happy Cupcake day card..lol..

Thanks so much for stopping by...off to batten down the hatches again and ride this wind out...see you tomorrow..I hope.

luv CHRISSYxx

KRAFT WITH CRAFTY LITTLE FAIRIES


Hello Everyone...

Do you wanna here a story of confusion about this card??...well,I'll tell you anyway.

I made this card for Crafty Little Fairies last week..'New beginings'..then realised it was not my turn to post...so popped it away for a later date...

When I checked the challenge list for this week it said 'KRAFT'...so I made a card out of kraft card and was sort of pleased with it..then I lost it..I have no idea where it went..I'm still looking for it, and went into a slight panic as I needed to get another done for this weeks challenge...while looking and looking , I found this card again and low and behold it fits this weeks theme...

So drama over...one missing card...one found card...and all is well..

This week for Crafty Little Fairies  challenge we have KRAFT..use kraft on your card and you are good to go.



So.. I have KRAFT pots..several Kraft pots and a baby Fairy popping out...and this little cutie is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil  and her name is Baby Fairy Buttercup

The pots have been inked on the sides for a terracotta look...




Coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and glittered up her wings...

I made slits in the pots and poked the MB dies "Bella Bouquet" and Cheery Lyn 'Fanciful mini flourish" as well as my baby Fairy..down inside.

Down in the front are my beautiful, magical, Mushrooms..a Cheery Lyn die  from my lovely blogging buddy...thank you again so much....they have been paper pieced..


And the side view...the sentiments are PC generated...and lastly added a bow made out of suede cord...

Well, that was a long winded post,sorry about that.

So pop on over to CRAFTY LITTLE FAIRIES  check out my teamies gorgeous creations for this week..

We are being sponsored by Delicious Doodles  with 4 digis of the winners choice..



Thanks for stopping by and putting up with my ramblings..hope you are having a great week and I will see you tomorrow.
