Some colouring fun at Kit and Clowder this weekend

Hey everyone, there's a bit of colouring fun going on over at Kit and Clowder this weekend (as always).

This weekend one of the wonderful Kit and Clowder sponsor's Scrapper's Delights is having some fun with us.



I was able to play/colour up this cute image Rosalie Fairy from Scrapper's Delights.

What's interesting is that I thought her outfit was from her neck down to the skirt, and the image on the Scrapper's Delights website shows a bare tummy and shoulders !!  LOL  I think she's cute no matter what.  

I loved colouring her up, except when my E29 blobbed on her hair...consequently I had to fill in some of the white space because of the blobs...but I SAVED it and it does look just fine.


Copics used
Alyce's Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E04, R20
Hair - E23, E25, E29
Dress/Wings - B21, B24
Stickles glitter

I hope you're inspired to pop over to Scrapper's Delights, for a little shopping!!

Bugaboo 5th Birthday - Animal Crackers (Friday)

Well the last challenge of the big 5th Birthday celebration at Bugaboo 
is a Recipe Challenge - Carnival treats.


We had to pick a treat and follow the recipe for that treat.

I chose Animal Crackers and that meant I had to have an animal 
on my card and also some Stickles glitter.

The image I used is one part of the Teddy Bear Block Trio 
and can be found here.

I hope you've enjoyed popping over each day this week and seeing what I created for this fun 




A sweet Valentine's Day card

It's time for another challenge at Brown Sugar.


This week I used a cute image "Heart Balloons" from Stitchy Bear.

I coloured it with copics and added some stickles to glam it up a little.  Matted with black cardstock and adhered to some pink cardstock and it was done.  Nice and CAS and easy.

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week at Brown Sugar for a chance to win a prize.

It's Steampunk time at CAGI

It's time for another challenge over at CAGI
Challenge #52 - Steampunk


I created a TODAY page for my Daytimer.  

It uses the TODAY bookmark that comes with the Daytimer, and I put it between cardstock to make a page that I can easily flip to, to get to the current day in my calendar.




I used this lovely image Velocitica from Kenny K. one of our lovely sponsors this week.

I coloured her with copics and boy was she a challenge.  Thanks to my classes at Kit and Clowder I have the confidence to at least tackle some pretty intricate digis and this was no exception.

I hope I've inspired you to play along and share your STEAMPUNK creations with us at CAGI this week.

Some cute Kitties


It's time for the next challenge at Brown Sugar


I used this cute image Valentine 15 which can be found here.

I coloured it with copics and the nice thing is that the kitties were already shaded with the printed image...so I didn't have to do much.

Winter Blossom

Here's a card I created for the latest challenge at Inspiration Destination

Join me on a Holly Jolly Journey

I'm soooo excited to share my very first DT project for 


Woo hoo !!!  
I'm excited to be a part of this wonderful team and am looking forward to 
lots of Holly Jolly Christmas creations in the months ahead !!



I coloured this super cute image with copics and am pleased with the shading I achieved on her skirt. The ornament came together quite nicely, but I have a secret to share...the doily on the back of the ornament is a Halloween doily (it's orange with a spider in the centre, but when I flip it over it's white and works just fine for this little Christmas ornament)  I added some ribbon and a bow and matted the back of the ornament with red cardstock so it looks nice front or back.

I sure hope I've inspired you to play along this week at Holly Jolly for a chance to win a prize.  

Don't forget to stop over at our wonderful sponsor "Stamp and Create" and see all the lovely images they have !

Thanks for stopping by today !!
