Mo Challenge # 88....

Morning! :)
Another week has shot past and we are another week closer to the summer holidays! Yip! If only the weather would catch up with the times huh? It's not just been wet this week, it's been cold too!
Well...on with this weeks challenge. A lovely one this week with heaps of options! The actual title of the theme is 'F,F,F,F' ...which roughly translates to ... 'Fairies, Flutters, Flowers and Fancy Folds'...of which you can include one, two, three or all of on your creation.
Me being me has gone for the 'all of' option. The image I've used is Teacup Fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil  as my 'Fairy' ... I've made an easel card as my fancy fold...used punched butterflies as my 'Flutters' and Prima Hydrangeas for my 'Flowers'.

Cupcake Crazy!!

As many of you know, I like to 'play' about and make things other than cards quite often! Well...when Shaz from Funky Fairys Papercrafts launched a fabulous new paper kit called 'Cupcake Crazy' I just knew what I wanted to make!!
A few weeks ago I found a fabby template that I just had to have!! It's from Papertrey Ink and is sooo delish...not to mention the contents! The Ferrero Rocher have made a comeback!! And yes! They are the same ones from the last project!!! Aren't I good??? ^.^ There are so many scrummy things in the Cupcake Crazy kit it's hard to use it all!!! Soooo many papers, images, sentiments, popcorn boxes, party invites and so much more!!!
Now...off you go and take a peek...you know you want to!!!
Oh and I've even installed a 'free ride' to save your legs! Just click on the image with 'Shaz' at the bottom of this post! I'm sooo good to you!! ^.^

** Gorjuss **

Set 3 of the gorgeous 'Gorjuss Girls' are out...Yay... and they are just adorable! I've been saving my pennies to get this set, and today they arrived on my doormat!! :0)
I've used one of the images and coloured her with Moss Green and Berry Red to fit with the 'Passion for ProMarkers' challenge this week...their twist was to include something tasty...so i used a candy cane! Yum! ^.^
I have also entered this card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge as they wanted 'stitching' on their cards.

Just a quicky from me today as I'm dashing about with school events...sponsored swims, Year 2 assembly and library! I've just stopped for a much needed coffee break and thought I'd post this card :)
The challenge at 'Flutter By Wednesday' is an open theme this week...just so long as you have a butterfly or fairy on your card.
I have used the gorgeous little Gretel from CC designs...

Oh yes!!!! Linnie has just released a brand new sheet with Cute Daisy May Fairies!! They are adorable!!! look!!
I had a quick play earlier and for a change printed onto vellum! I coloured the image on the back of the vellum with Promarkers and added Dazzling Diamonds to her wings and tutu. I have to admit that the camera hasn't done it justice at all, but hopefully you'll like it anyway :)

♥ With Love

This weeks challenge 'in' the Sugar Bowl is ... 'Mother's Day' ... As Mothers Day here in the UK falls on March 22nd this year, please make a card (or other craft project) for a Mother. This does not have to be specifically a Mothers Day card, just something, you know, that a Mother would love!

I have to be honest and say that I have already made my Mother's Day card for my Mum...so... this is something that 'could' be used for a Mum...or indeed a special person! Hope that counts xI have used paper from DCWV 'Once Upon A Time'. I know...I know... how could I you ask?? :0) Well...as I said...it's for someone special so it's ok! It didn't hurt a bit! And in any case there's still another sheet of the same design...Phew!! :0) It is such beautiful paper that I haven't gone too mad with embellishments as the paper says it all really :)

Funky Fairy's # 30!!

It's Monday again!! It's raining again!! So I can't think of a better way to spend the day other than to craft!! Yeahhh!!

This fortnight's challenge on Funky Fairy's has been set by our lovely Meayla...and she would like us to make something using our initial or name!

I decided to make a sign for my craft room door ^.^ I have used papers from the Funky Fairy's 'Pinks' collection...and what's more...it's FREE!!!!!

Blooming Gorgeous Birthday!

This weeks Papertake challenge is 'Blooming Gorgeous'...and as the title suggests had to include floral embellishments.
I left it until now to put it on my blog because this was also for a friends birthday today...so hopefully she's now got it!



Happy Blooming Birthday Denize!!! ^.^




The little girl is Lola, a Sugar Nellie stamped image, which I've coloured with Sakura pens, then mounted on two layers of Bazill cardstock. The base card was white but has been covered with Cranberry and Denim Adirondack ink pad colours. I stuck down the layers and added a piece of ribbon and a couple of Prima flowers to finish.

DCM - Red & White...

I have looked at a number of blogs this week that have 'Daring Card Makers' challenge cards on.
The theme of Red & White looked so striking that I thought I'd play along too...and for those who have read the post below...no...I didn't even bother, lol ^.^

The papers used on this are the new freebie Valentine papers from Funky Fairy's Papercrafts ...and are gorgeous...thanks Shaz x
The Funky Fairy stamped image has been embossed with red embossing powder from Heat it Up...and the egdes inked with a 'Lipstick Red' chalk ink pad.
I have embossed the two heart brads to match the colour of the fairy and mounted them on white linen effect cardstock also with a slight inked edge...The white Prima flower has a red snap in the centre and a ribbon bow added to finish it

Funky Bags...

Having been AWOL from my blog for a couple of days I thought I'd better say hello and let you know I'm still here!!! ^.^

I found some scalloped bag templates the other day and thought I'd have a quick play last night!




















I stuck each one to a piece of paper with non permanent roller glue and ran them through the printer, folded them into shape and added a few gems, pearls and embellishments!
The first two can just have a sentiment added as and when needed.

The backing designs are 'Funky Flowers' from Funky Fairy's

These two items are templates included in the Pinkie Pops kit...and there's heaps more!!!
This is one of the gift bags...
I've added a 3D flower, which I added Diamond Glaze to the centre of, and sprinkled very fine glitter and left to dry. Ribbon for handles and it's done!















This one is a gift box. Again simple and quick to make up, then add embellishments!
