Some Quickie Cards.

I really do love colouring, the child in me I suppose.


And I particularly enjoying colouring CC Design Images. So when I received the new Spring Collection I couldn't wait to ink them up and start to colour.


I then decided that I had lots of scraps left over from various other projects so I made some Little Quickie Cards.
They are so cute. I have lots of ideas to create various projects, its just having the time to sit and do them all!!!!!

Enjoy your week

And now for something a little different!!

When I first saw these images I wasn't really sure they were me. But after working with them I have definitely seen their charm!!!
This image is called Birthday Fairy and is another design by Dianne Duda. She is quite good fun and I think they would suit the more mature among us.
The sentiment is from CC Designs.

I kept the card really simple as I printed the design really large, and the colour scheme is very BIG!!!
Hope you like
Have a Lovely Sunday

...and Another Duda Digi Image

I love the new Diane Duda Digi Images. This image is Boys will be Boys and I think it really sums boys up. Fun, Simple and Devilish.
I have again been very good and used some papers from my stash. These are from Cricut and were made to fit the 6" by 12" cutting mat. As you can see I never used them!
I just layered up different colours to co-ordinate with the image.
I have tried stitching on this project as I keep seeing it on a lot of cards and really love it so I had a go. I did go a little bit wrong but hopefully no-one will notice!!!!!
The sentiment is from the new CC Design Spring Collection, lovin' that too!!!!!
Sorry for being away all week. Life has been so busy and I have been inundated at work, with new initiatives and parent's evenings and courses its been mad!! But hopefully I can now have a quite weekend and do some craft.
I have really missed everyone so will be trying to catch up!!
Take care and have a lovely weekend!!

Another Duda Digi Image!

I really do love these new images by Diane Duda. Firstly cos they are boy images and secondly they are so quirky.
Its my son, Cameron's Birthday soon so I thought I'd get ahead of things and make him this card.
This image is called "Puppy Dogs Tails" and is available from Funky Kits.
I also purchased the new Spring Collection from CC Designs and this is a sentiment from the kit. It is fantastic buy and a bargain. so Click on the link and have a look.
My final card. The papers are from my stash, they are the papers that are designed to work with the Cricut, but never used them. I think they are perfect with this image. The Polka Dot Paper, is also from my stash and was bought from one of my many trips to the NEC.
Hope you like. There are more Diane Duda Digi Image, so go and have a look!!!! They are gorgeous.
Well Life at the moment is so busy. I have 2 magazine articles coming up, but will tell you more about them nearer the time. Plus I am trying to sort out a new Tutorial release the one I sneaky peaked last week. But work is getting in the way. I have been so busy, its Parents' Evenings this week so will be even busier!!!!!!!!!
Well have a good week. Hopefully I'll get chance to schedule some posts.

New Diane Duda Images!!

These new images from Sugar Nellie's are so quirky.
The Artist Diane Duda really does create some unusual images, I really do like them. They are so different.
These Images are Digital and available form Funky Kits now.
This image is called "To The Moon".


I stamped him in memento and coloured him using my Promarkers. I also used some very old papers I have in my Stash, from Hot of the Press, and they really do suit this image, I think.

I punched out so stars and circles and layered them up finished off with a brad in the middle to hold it all together. The sentiments are from Stampin' Up.

I highlighted some of the words on the backing paper, and added a layered star to finish it off. I wanted to do something different so I have created a circular easel card, which I think has turned out brilliantly, a style I will definitely be using again.

I hope you like.
Take care

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
