I'm a Polkadoodle Design Team Member!!!

I have been meaning to pop in all week and share the exciting news ... Nikky asked me a week or so ago if I would join the Polkadoodles Team and of course I said yes! Thanks Nikky!! So today is my first challenge as part of the team!!! There are quite a few new girls so please head on over to the Polkadoodles blog and welcome them all!!
Unfortunately I am a bit time poor today so this is going to have to be a super quick post!!
So today's challenge is make a square card and add a round element to it!!


I decided to try my hand on making a digital layout and I think for my first attemp I was pretty successful and I even still managed to colour in an image and add ribbon! All the elements and sentiment are from the PickNix Collection Gingerbread Twist. I love to colour so I chose to use an uncoloured gingerbread man and colour him myself with Tria markers... He looks a little on the well done side (hehehe) but happy with it all the same!! The round element on my card is the rhinestones!!

There are some great prizes if you join in this weeks challenge so head on over to the Polkadoodles blog and check out all the details!!
Again I am sorry for the short post.... plans changed and now having to rush off!!

Clean and Simple at Craft your Passion

Hello and welcome to challenge 136 at Craft Your Passion!! The weeks are flying by and we are edging closer to Christmas.. I haven't even begun to think about Christmas cards but I really should!!  Anyway, enough about Christmas!! Our challenge this week is CAS and we are sponsored by Bugaboo!!!
My card was supposed to be a bit cleaner but then I bought this tree stencil and just had to use it!!

I used this sweet little image - friends were flowers which came with the sentiment!! I coloured her in with Tria markers and added kindyglitz to her wings. The tree is inked with some chalk inks!!
Be sure to check out what the rest of the girls created at Craft Your Passion Blog.

Delicious Doodles at Seems a Little Sketchy!!

Hello, Hope you are having beautiful weather like we are in melbourne!! Has been an absolutely glorious day!! Unfortunately I have spent most of it inside due to hopsital visits and shopping but it's still nice to see the sun shining!!
So another fortnight has passed so it's time for a new sketch at SALS. We are sponsored by Delicious Doodles so I used Fairy Ivy which I won awhile ago!!!

I decided to go with a black and white theme. I didn't want to colour fairy Ivy so I just added a bit of colour with Twinkling H2O's to her wings and the ivy!! And all I did was add faux stitching to finish off the card!! I decided to follow the sketch today without adding bits and pieces!!Head on over to the Seems a Little Sketchy blog to see what the rest of the DT did with the sketch!!

Anything Goes at Paper Crafting Journey!!

Wow, seems like forever since I did a PCJ post but it really has only been two weeks!! There were some fabulous entries in our Ribbon and Twine challenge, sorry I was so late commenting!!  So thanks for joining us!!! This fortnight is another challenge everyone loves - Anything Goes! We are being sponsored by Pink Cat Studio this challenge and they are offering a fabulous prize of 5 digi images!! Wow!!
I used Lily Sugarplum Fairy for my card and chose a pink, green and purple theme!!

I coloured Lily in with tria markers and added kindyglitz to her wings!! I found some embossed paper in my scraps stash as well as the purple metallic paper!! I stamped out the crowns and coloured them in with tria markers, then added the ribbon. To finish the card off I found these fabulous pink flowers and these perfect coloured pearls (from Inky Impressions). Oh and I added the rhinestones as well. :)

That's it from me today!! I'll be back tomorrow with some exciting news.

Be sure to pop on over to the PCJ blog to see what the rest of the DT have created!!!

Craft Your Passion - Hexagons

Hello, Hello... Sorry for the lack of posts, been a busy week but things have quietened down for awhile so hopefully I can post more often.. It's time for a new challenge at CYP and this week we'd like to see you use at least one hexagon on your creation!! We are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter and we were lucky enough to be given a few digi's to use!! I couldn't decide which one to use so I chose all three! :) We are also sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and Stamp fairy!! So three awesome reasons to join in the challenge!!
Due to shortage of time this past week (and cos I didn't get these done a month ago) all my cards are CAS!

For my first card I used "Adorable Miss Hall". I coloured her in with tria markers! I then just inked (with Walnut stain DI) some hexagons onto my card stock using a stencil and stamped out the Hello sentiment. 

This is cockatoo Rules and he is also coloured in with tria markers!! I also inked a hexagon background cos I loved how the first card turned out, then added the Tickled Pink Stamps sentiment.

And for my final card I used Mucha Influence - Winter. She is also coloured in with Tria markers!! I added Rock Candy Stickles for the snow then added the dew drops.

Well that's it from me for now... Head on over to CYP blog to check out the rest of the DT's creations!!

CAS card for the Digi Bell's!!

Wow, what a busy week it's been this past week!!! It was my youngest son's 6th Birthday yesterday so I have spent the week previous preparing for it and today it was the big clean up and playing with all his new toys so I totally forgot to get a card done for my Digi Bell's post today! So I have quickly made this CAS card which I keep thinking needs somethng else added to it (as I'm used to adding so many papers and embellishments)

I've used Sweet Sundae from Elisabeth Bell's digital collection... You can get her from HERE along with all Elisabeth's adorable digi images. I coloured her in with Tria markers. I stuck her on the card with 3d dots then stamped out the sentiment. I inked around the edges of the card then added the buttons!!
Don't forget there is a challenge going on over at the Elisabeth Bell's World blog at the moment so why not join in!!
