Bonus post and a prize

This morning I discovered I had won a prize in Mojo Monday 362!  I'm gob smacked and loved the idea of sharing the good fortune.

In these shoes?

Saturday at last!  It's also just one week until my daughter's wedding.  Eeeeeeek!!

Today's image is a new purchase from the lovely Krista Smith at Saturated Canary.  Between us Jen and I bought a few new images, taking advantage of a 43% sale.  We still shouldn't have but it's only money ;)

This is Going Out.

She has a look of Victoria Beckham, don't you think?

This is the card I made using her.

You can't see them very well in the main pictures, but I gave her some seriously sexy shoes.  All blingy and gorgeous lol :)

Behind the image I layered several papers from a collection called Hazy Days, along with some netting.

I also used a couple of new dies from Memory Box.

Butterflies and a ticket.

So there she is.  Hope you like her.

Knee deep in beads

Good morning all and welcome to another Friday, it's been a long week so I am more than ready for the weekend.

At the moment as the title says I am knee deep in beads. My niece gets married next week and I'm making the pearl jewellery for her and the bridesmaids. Just as I was taking the pics for this post I moved a bag of tiny pearls out of the way, only it was open and they literally went everywhere!!

Oh well that will teach me not to tidy up the previous night lol. 

But anyway this is where I have got to so far.

The little bridesmaids are all having pearls and silver beads with butterflies. 

While the adults are just having pearls, with either butterflies or elephant charms. 

Not many to go now and I do enjoy it so that's good.

Hope you like them too, take care and I'll see you soon.

Sassi-tude

I invented a new word!  Well it might not be new but it's new to me, lol!  

S-A-S-S-I-T-U-D-E

It's origins are pretty obvious.  

This is Becki and Becki is a sassy lady with attitude.

I coloured Becki several weeks ago and when I got her out of my coloured digi drawer (yes I have a drawer for coloured images - and one for uncoloured :0) I noticed her lips had run a little.  It didn't stop me from using her but she may just end up in the box and not be sent to anyone.  It's a shame really because I was very happy with the shading on this image.

I used two papers from the stash and picked out the green and blue to use as mats for the image.  I also added a decorative border and a few pearls.

So that's Becki, my lady with sassi-tude :)

True Friendship

Good morning all. Today's card is one I made up using two of the digi stamps that I coloured last week. 

I thought I would have a change and instead of making a birthday or anniversary card etc. I decided to make a just because/friendship card. 

The images are from All Dressed Up and are coloured with Copics. The stamp is from the Creative Expressions Classic Sentiments set. 

The paper is from the stash and the frame is part of the Curiosity Corner collection from Dove Crafts.

I finished it off with a paper heart, a metal badge, and a few pearls.

Hope you like it. Take care and I'll see you soon.

Paper Doll

Hello again and welcome to Tuesday.

I have another very simple card using a La La Land image to share with you today.

This is Paper Doll Marci - she's such a sweetie.  I coloured her entirely with Copics.  I'm really enjoying using these and I'm finding my colouring has improved greatly.

I didn't feel the image needed a lot of fuss, so I used one paper, some ribbon, a paper heart, a crochet flower and a ribbon flower.

P.S I've entered this into a challenge at http://papermakeupstamps.blogspot.co.uk

Lily's Room - Door Plaque

Good morning all, hope you are well. I'm back at work today after a few days off because of the flu etc. So I hate to think what's waiting for me lol. But I'm sure it will be OK.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago, I made a door name plaque for one of my granddaughter's, Isabelle. 

Well when her big sister saw it she asked if she could have one, but a little more grown up. Well she is a big 6 lol. So this is what I've made for Lily. 

I used an artists canvas board again, but this time I covered it with lots of pieces of paper from the stash, all cut at different sizes.

I inked all around the edge with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, and then sealed it all with Ranger Glue N Seal.

The little girl is an All Dressed Up digi stamp, which I coloured with Copics and Spectrums. I stuck her on with Cosmic Shimmer and then went over her with Glue N Seal. 

I coloured the chipboard letters with a Picked Raspberry Distress Marker, and stuck them on. I wanted to give the letters a bit of definition so I went around them with a black fine liner pen.

Then I added three different types of lace to the bottom using the hot glue gun and finally finished it off with a ribbon bow and some paper flowers. 

Hope you like it, Lily loved it.

Take care, see you soon.
