Back To School

Well, the girls have gone back to school...and I guess we're on the countdown to Christmas now!! Eeek!
This is a card that I made for my little ones, and I've entered it into the Cute Card Thursday challenge, which is Back to School. I've used the sketch from this weeks Sketch & Stash challenge and also used my new fabulous 'First Day of School' image from Mo at Digital Pencil Too...Here are the youngest two on their way out the door...Katieann is now in Year 3, which makes her a Junior, so they had to exchange their polo shirts and sweatshirts for a V neck sweater, shirt and tie! Bless :)

Funky Fairy's Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the 'Funky Fairy's Blog Hop' - which celebrates the merging of the Shop and Challenge Design Teams!! YAY!!
We were going to mark this occasion and celebrate with a Funky Fairy's party...but decided that we'd love to include all of you too, and have a Blog Hop instead!! :)

"Now, the theme this week over on the Challenge Blog is 'CASE IT'. This simply means that we have been looking at each others fab projects and choosing one to 'Case' (Case is an acronym for Copy and Share Everything) so you create a project using someone else's work as your inspiration, but do not need to copy it exactly. Well, as you will see all the DT members have pulled 'a blinder' this week and if you follow the blog hop you will see all their brilliant projects. PLEASE leave a comment on every blog as you go to be eligible for the fab prize being offered by Funky Fairy's Papercrafts (via the Inspiration Blog) ...we will check you know!!! :)

Here is my challenge . . .
...cased from Anne's fabby project...
To be on the right track you should have arrived from Anesha's blog...after leaving a comment and picking up her letter.
The next blog you need to pop over and visit is Ria's - but before you dash off, don't forget to collect my letter which is "I" ...and as an extra treat I have a small blog candy up for grabs!!
All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is ... in your comment, tell me what your favourite sweet/treat or candy is!!! Yum!! :) The draw will take place on Friday at 9am and the winner notified via the challenge blog next Wednesday.

Thank you for coming to visit and for playing along with the Fairy's x

If you haven't collected the previous letters, please pop back to the beginning of our blog hop at the Inspiration Blog

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
