From the vault at The Digi Bell's

It's my turn to post on the Digi Bell's blog today and I have something fantastic to share with you! The fabulously talented  Elisabeth Bell recently surprised the Digi Bell's DT wih some digi images from the vault!! I was so excited, that I had to colour them up straight away and now I can share one of them with you!! Unfortunately for everyone else this fabulous image is not available to buy but you never do know so keep your fingers crossed!!!

This is Teen Village Girl! Some of you may recognize her but I didn't so it was exciting to get her!! I coloured her in with Tria markers and added rock Candy Stickles to the cuffs on her coat! I wanted her to stand out so decided to do a white theme so I started with white CS, embossed a piece of white card stock, then added some fancy ribbon. I then stuck the image down. Then I die cut some snow flakes (not sure that I like them but it was all I could find today!!) I covered the snowflakes in with icicle stickles then finished off with the dew drops!!
Don't forget a new Elisabeth Bell's World challenge starts in a few days so be sure to come back then.

Use Your Scraps at CYP

Well the challenge this week at Craft Your Passion is a super easy one for me - Use Your Scraps - because I have been doing that for the past 11 months. I challenged myself to not buy any new patterned papers this year and I have been successful so far!! For this challenge we are being sponsored by  Stitchy Bear and The Robin's Nest!!

For my card I used Hunter BuBu which is an image from Stitchy Bear. It was fun to make a boys card for a change.

I coloured Hunter BuBu in with Tria markers! Not sure where my papers are from cos they are scraps :) and the stars were punched out from scraps also! I then added the buttons and the adventure ribbon and rope which are in fact from The Robin's Nest. Not much more to say about my card so head on over to the Craft Your Passion Blog to see what the rest of the DT have created!!

HOLLY'S HAPPY MAIL

 Isn't she just wonderful? Some of you may recognise her but I haven't seen her before!!As soon as I saw her I knew I wanted to pair her up with Creative Genius, Michele.

Being a mum, I constantly get letters and drawings from my boys and with Holly wearing her apron with some crafty tools in her pocket I thought Holly and Michele coud be crafting together and Michele has just drawn mum a picture!! Have I confused you? Anyway that was my idea so I went with it!! Both images are coloured with tria markers. I then just found some coloured papers to match the colours I had used. I then just made some layers, punched out some flowers, added some ribbon and finished it off with some rhinestones!! Oh and of course some flowers and buttons!! So I hope you like it!!!!
Now it's time to hop on over to Wendy's Blog where you will be dazzled with her creation!!!
I hope that you enjoy the hop!!!

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!!

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!!
