Anything Goes - Sugar Bowl

Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all well.  I am off for a weekend trip to Cornwall today, am really looking forward to it although the weather looks a bit iffy!  

Today we have a new challenge starting over at the Sugar Bowl. As usual the theme is

"Anything Goes"

However you MUST use a SUGAR NELLIE image which you can get from Funky Kits


Here is my card:




I have used "Pretty In Bows" from All Dressed Up which is available here.  She is coloured with copics and I have teamed her up with papers from Taylored Expressions called Rainbow Brights which you can get from Handmade Bliss.  The die is In & Out Diagonal Stitched Square from Die-namics.  The sentiment is from LOTV.  I added some glamour dust and I had to add some little butterflies as I smudged some ink by mistake!!  

I hope you like her.  Please pop on over to the main challenge blog for lots more inspiration this month!  I hope you can join us!

That's all from me today!

Love and Hugs

Let's Get Gothic - Tiddly Inks

Morning Everyone!

Today is a new challenge over at Tiddly Inks and the theme this week is:

"Let's Get Gothic"

Christy has loads of fab images in the store which you can use for this challenge!  Here is my take on it:




I have never really made a Gothic card so not sure if this meets the brief!!  However the image is all Gothic!  She is called Gossmere and the sentiment comes with it.  I have also used papers from Tiddly Inks called Gothic Girls Paper Set.  She is coloured with copics and I have used my Lil Inker Stitched Rectangle die.  

I hope you can join in with our challenge this week, it will be fun to see all the Gothic creations!  Please do pop on over to the challenge blog for LOADS of inspiration!  

Have a great day!
Love and Hugs

New Challenge - Handmade Bliss

Good Morning Everyone

I hope you are all well.  I am a little under the weather at the moment which I hope will clear up soon. 

Today we have our 2nd challenge starting over at Handmade Bliss, thank you so much to everyone who took part last month, it was such fun seeing all your gorgeous makes!  Please pop on over to the challenge blog to see if you were a winner!

This month our theme is a colour one:


Some nice summer colours here!  You need to use at least 2 of these colours.  You MUST use a product which is available in the Handmade Bliss store (however you don't need to have purchased it from there). You also need to be a follower of the blog.

So here is my card:




My card makes me wish I was on holiday sitting in the warm sun!  I have used Samantha and Sierra Take A Selfie from Stamping Bella available at Handmade Bliss here.  The sentiment came with the stamp. I teamed them with papers from Taylored Expression Build A Scene paper pack which you can get here.  The paper pack is great, I have nearly finished mine already!  

She is coloured with copics and I have just added glamour dust and pearls.  I hope you can join in this month.  The winner will receive a £15 voucher to spend in the store, and there is some great things to buy!!  Pop on over to the main blog for more inspiration and all the details!

That's all from me now. I am going to have a lie down!
