The Sugar Bowl Challenge 37

You know I love sketches, they make cardmaking and papercraft so much easier.

Today's Sketch by Marlene is no exception!

This is the sketch for the challenge over at the Sugar Bowl, with the theme

"Girlie or Feminine"

The prize is a fabulous one....a set of Nestabilities labels dies and a 6 stamp Suagr Nellie pick 'n' mix (winners choice)

Here is my interpretation:

Sorry can't spent much time sat at the computer as my back is a real problem at the moment. I'm on Diasepam, Codeine and Naprosyn - fab cocktail, when all taken together its a doosie!!!!!!
Tuesday I spent all day in bed - a cycle of crying in pain, sleeping and staring at the ceiling, 7 hours I was on my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday after the doctor prescribed Codeine, I was up and walking within an hour, still painful, but not crying painful!!!!!!

Back to work today!!!! Must be mad!!!!!

Anyway enough of my rambling.

Make sure you get yourselves over to rest of the sweeties blog and see their beautiful creations.

Take care

Fab Box adorned with Daisy

This image is my all time favourite. and when the Sugar Babes recently did a blog hop, it was the image I used. I coloured a few.


I then saw this fab tutorial for this box, I think it was on the Whiff of Joy site.


It is an unusual box as it uses the word window punch from Stampin' Up to create the hinges.


I then added the tab punch as the closure and some magnet fasteners.

Hope you like.

Have a good day.

Blog Hop and Some Sugar Candy

Hello and welcome!

You should have arrived here from Rowena's Blog

Isn't her creation gorgeous.

If you haven't arrived from there then you have missed out on some fab creations. Go back to the Sugar Nellie Blog, here, to start at the beginning of the Hop

This is the First Blog hop I have done so please be kind.

The Hop today is to Highlight the oldies but goodies.

We wanted to use all those old stamps, that are so easily forgetten about, but dust them off and have a go.

Here I have used Daisy. She was my first Sugar Nellie Stamp, and I loved her then and still do.

I made an easel card, from Cream Hammered Cardstock, to showcase her.

I have teamed her up with the retired Stampin' Up Designer Paper: Junior Varsity.

Its lovely very modern. I used a new Martha Stewart Corner Punch to pretty-up the corners, and co-ordinate with the flowers

I also used some Rose Red Wide stitched Grosgrain, also from Stampin' Up.

The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Sale-a-bration set , (which is only available til the end of the month!!)
The Flowers are prima and from my stash, have had those for ages too, really did have to dust them off!!



I also had to make a 3D project so created a matching treat pouch with the same layout as the card, also added a little treat, some Lindor Choccies!!

I hope you like and have been inspired to use those stamps which have been pushed to one side or even treat yourself and have a browse around Funky Kits, where all the Sugar Nellie Stamps used today are available.

Right Sugar Candy time
If you don't own Daisy, but would like the chance to give her a loving home, please leave a comment, you have until midnight Sunday to enter. I will then randomly pick a winner from the comment list and let you know asap on Monday.

So leave me a comment!!

Now it Tiet's turn, so head over and see which Sugar Nellie Stamp she has used.

Take care

Stamp With Us Challenge Card!

This is my entry for this weeks Stamp With Us Challenge, which was to create a Birthday Card.

I love this Image, Daisy. I thought it would do for my SIL's birthday next week.

I coloured her using Stampin' Up markers for the first time, as I usually use my Promarkers, but I quite like how she has turned out.

The papers I used are also Stampin' Up. They are from the Mini, and are called Washington Apple. I have teamed the papers and image up with Night of Navy Card stock and inked all the edges.

The sentiment is from my favourite set, Circle of Friendship, layered again using white cardstock


I have also used lots of Bling and Pearls. Finished off with ribbon as a detailed feature.



Hope you like!

Here is the card again, just cos I love Daisy.

Thanks for popping by.
