Hello Baby!!!

I made a card for a friend who has just had a gorgeous little boy...all wrinkly, crinkly and scrummy ;)
I have used the sketch from this weeks Sweet Shop challenge...and also entered it into the challenge at 'Stamp Something' who's theme is Birthday Somethings! I know it's not technically a birthday card, but birthdays have to start somewhere, and what better time than the day you were born!! :) Hope it's ok :)

Sugar Doodles....

Yay! Dad's home :0) ...I think we've all had a lazy day today! Or is that just me??? lol I gave myself the afternoon off, so while Daisy quietly played on CBeebies on the PC...I played quietly with pens and paper!
I can't believe that two weeks of the Sugar Bowl challenge is up at midnight tonight...and with 6 Sugar Nellie stamps at stake, I had to at least try and get a card done!
Well...Mission accomplished!!!The challenge this fortnight was a sketch by Marlene...and the 'please include' option was doodling...

Floral Fantasy...

My poor blog has been so neglected...as has my craft desk...but I managed to grab half an hour earlier for a play in between hospital runs to see my dear Dad.
I made this card as I've been desperate to use the gorgeous Pixie downloads I got from Charmed Cards and Crafts a while ago. I've sat and coloured a few in over the last few days so just had to put something together.
The wings on this beautiful little pixie have been outlined in a clear Copic Glitter pen, but it doesn't really show up in the large picture.
I've entered my card into the challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar this week...the theme is Floral Fantasy ...

Digital Delights...

I'm having a bit of a busy time with family things at the moment, so my blog is a bit neglected. I'm hoping Mr Blogger's clock is working again today and left him to post this :)

I felt honored to have been chosen by the Delightful Sketches team last week to be a Guest Designer! Wendy aka Louby Lou at Digital Delights gave me a choice of stamps and to make something with them. That was a challenge...if you go and look, be careful...you'll want them all!! :)
This is what I made with a couple of them...
Project 2...
This is a wooden box that I altered and added some 'Emergency Rations' !! :)Thank you very much Wendy and team xx
