Glitter Me Silly

Hee hee – I am proud to say that this week’s challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar is a sketch by me!! This is my very first attempt at a sketch so please be easy on me, I hope you all like it. The DT have done wonders with it so please hop over and have a look. We have a gorgeous stamp as a prize this week generously donated by Katie and Collette at Nutcrafters – I wish I could enter myself!!!

I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this week – so get crafting!

This is my take on it. I have used a digi download (Dorothy Anya) from The Greeting Farm and coloured her with PM’s. The papers are from the most fabulous gift I received from my chum Steph at Much Ado About Nothing. I asked her if I could buy some of the Sweet Always SU! papers from her (she’s an SU! demo) but instead she sent me a selection of virtually every paper in the SU! catalogue!!!! She is such a HUGE sweetheart and so kind – I LOVE YOU STEPH!!! The papers on this card are from the Sweet Always range – my favourite. The bobbly string (?) along the bottom is from my Raspberry Ribbons kit from last month. I have been dying to use it since I got it but never really had the right spot for it. The flowers have been dyed to match the papers with my PM’s – I love how you can change them to suit your card!!

Right well, speaking of Stampin Up! I am hosting my first SU! evening tonight. I’m so excited – it’s like one of the best shops in the crafting world coming right to your house!! I have a bit of tidying and sorting to do before then – BUT it’s such a nice day here again that I may have to potter in the garden a bit first!!!

Have a lovely day wherever you are.

Hugs,

Afternoon everyone and what another bee-utee it is again too! I haven’t been very chatty over the last couple of days because I’ve barley been inside! The weather here is just so gorgeous and you have to grab it while you can – you never know when it’s going again!!

Well as it’s Monday, it’s time for a new Cupcake Crafts Challenge. Lauren has created a fabulous sketch to follow so be sure to go and check it out. The other DT cards are amazing as always so have a look at try the sketch out for yourselves.

This is my take on the sketch. I have used some paper I’ve had for yonks from a Costco bundle and my ribbons from this months gorgeous Raspberry Ribbons kit (plus a couple of others from my stash!). I liked this technique because I only had to part with a teeny tiny bit of each ribbon!! lol. The heart and flower stamps are from a set I’ve had for ages (can’t remember off the top of my head what they are) – and I’ve used my new nesties too. The gorguss girl is coloured with promarkers and and there’s a bit of bling there too – naturally!

I have also been given another award this time by two lovley ladies – Lou and Hello Gorgeous. Thank you so much girls, I am truly honoured and chuffed to pieces to get this. I hope you all get a chance to go and check these blogs out – they’re both such talented girls :0)

I was beginning to think it was winter again!! After a glorious bank holiday weekend all we’ve had since is grey skies and rain.. However I got up this morning to gorgeous sunshine so I am happy again!! I have no cards to post as I have been working on DT stuff trying to get a wee bit ahead of myself. I haven’t been able to get any other challenges done recently so will try to work on those this week too. The kids are back at school on Monday so some sort of normality may return (well, normal in the Davies household!)
