~~~ Cuteness at Sweet Stampin ~~~

Hi friends,

Hope this finds you well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we have a "Cute" theme...so come on over and show us your cuteness.

This is an older Tiddly Inks digital image that I've had for awhile

When she surfaced in my "to do" file I couldn't resist giving her some colour.

You see, she reminded me of myself...yes I, like so many of us, am in desperate need of a haircut!

When I saw her fringe covering her eyes I had to chuckle and thought she was in keeping with the times.    Hair stylists have not opened yet.....hopefully soon.

Coloured with Copics
Sentiment stamped in SU Not so Navy - MFT stamp

Entering the following challenges:
Crafty Catz Challenge #508
Colour Crazy Craft Challenge Week #21

~~~ Weather at Fab'n'Funky~~~

Good morning all, hope this finds you well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #475

where our lovely and talented team mate Chris is hosting
and has chosen the theme  "April Showers (or whatever the weather)
....and yes in my little part of the world it is "cloudy"

I've coloured with Copics this sweet image from Tiddly Inks ...I think it is called
Cloud 9

MFT sentiment, stamped and heat embossed using white embossing powder.
Clouds are also a MFT die cut in felt.  I didn't realize that I had pulled out 2 sheets at the same time and when cut the die sealed the edges giving them a very puffy affect...loved it.
Square scallop die and paper also from MFT

Puppy Love

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good long weekend. 

 It's lovely to have a "Family Day" in February, the shortest month

 but really the hardest with winter still going strong.

I've a fun card for you today using one of my favourite images, 

yes it's Wryn but this time she has a puppy.  She can be found here at Tiddly Inks.

This is my first time making a "Twist and Pop" card and I'm so pleased with the results.

One of my lovely team mates Beth shared a link from Davinia Woods.

You can find the video instructions here.

Image is coloured with Copics.

Snowflakes

Happy Friday everyone,

I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend.

Today starts a new challenge at
Winter Wonderland 

where our lovely host Cindy has chosen the theme "Snowflakes" 

But before I get to my photo...I have to moan a little
...I'm so unhappy with my pictures lately.

Perhaps I need a new camera?

or this 20 year old Canon needs a good cleaning?
not sure which!
 The pencil strokes did not show up on this majestic bear's coat
and I was so happy with them! Oh well...looks better IRL.

 I coloured this digi image from Tiddly Inks with polychromos.

It is called Ricky Winter Light Wishes.
 The background paper is also from Tiddly Inks.

Hi everyone,

 but they really are my most favourite to make and I never seem to have enough when the season arrives.

Miss You!

Hi folks,

  Hope you are doing well and perhaps having a crafty day.

I'm a little under the weather today so I put the housework aside

and sat down to colour up this cute Wryn from Tiddly Inks .

She is called Grow a Little Love and is available here.   

Christy had a sale recently and since I can't resist a sale, I stocked up on a few digis

that I have been wanting. But before I start on my new ones

 I thought it was best to use one that I've had for awhile.

I've used a Sizzix Framelits Step-Ups die. 

These are fun to create with as there are a lot of options in the set

I keep making cards for the Tiddly Inks Challenge but somehow miss the date.

Don't you hate when that happens....but I think I'm in time for their current

Challenge #164 ~Have A Heart

I had a little time today to copic colour the very cute Wryn Beach Babe available here

I was singing along to "In the Sun" by Blondie ...oooh I am dating myself here!
