Dig Choosday Challenge – Week 8: Anything Goes!

[Huge apologies to my teammates for the lateness of my post! All sorts of horrible things happened yesterday involving my beloved dogs so I am completely out of sorts today and forgot to schedule this!! Sorry again!]

Hello!  Hope everyone is well and happy!

It’s Choosday so it’s time for a new challenge over at DigiChoosday and our theme this week is Anything Goes!  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!! As always we have a fab prize on offer so check out the blog for details.

For my project this week I decided to decorate a little wooden box that I have had since Christmas. It was full of chocolate gingers but they lasted all of 5 minutes (yum) so it was now lost and lonely and begging to have paper stuck all over it! So I obliged! J

The image I used is called Winston Bear Get in Touch and is available as an individual digi or on one of my fave of Nikky’s design kits the Winston Full Collection (2^nd yum)!

I also made some little (4” x 4”) cards to go inside. They are all of the same design, ideal for a quick way to stay in touch!

Ingredients:

Digital Delights Wednesday – Older Digis Month

Hello there! I’m back again!

Today it is my turn to post a Wednesday project on the Digital Delights blog and this month our theme is Older Digis.

So with Mothering Sunday approaching in the UK I decided to do a slightly ‘off-piste’ Mother’s Day card for my mum as she is most definitely my absolute hero! Awwwww!

I used the ever so heroic Fearless Freda for my design and she is also available in a coloured version here .  My sentiment is from the Super Hero Sentiment Set 

So I thought I would go all black and white B movie for this one, but did resist making ‘KAPOW!!’ and ‘BIFF!!’ a part of it! J

Ingredients:

Image:  Fearless Freda

Sentiment: Super Hero Sentiment Set

Dies: Spellbinders ‘Inverted Scalloped Circles’ – Signature Dies ‘Starburst’ – Memory Box ‘Village Lamp Post’ – Tattered Lace ‘Winter Scene’

Paper/Card: Neenah Solar White – Papermania ‘Bexley Black’

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir pencils

Others: Gems

“Well holy inspiration, Batman you gotta fight your way over to the DigitalDelights Blog and get your regular fix of fab projects!!!” J And Wendy does the most amazing Superhero Value Set, cute characters you are sure to recognise, you must check it out and all the rest of her super-duper designs in the shop!

Thanks so much for looking, and have a wonderful day!

See ya!

Dig Choosday Challenge – Week 7: Springtime Pastels!

Hello!  Hope everything is well with you and yours?

It’s Choosday so we have another challenge over at DigiChoosday and our theme this week is Springtime Pastels!  We always have a fab prize up for grabs so check out the blog for details.

Ah, spring, I remember it well! I think we are all looking forward to it now! I’m so sick of having freezing fingers!

So for my make this week I decided to decorate gift bag.  Haven't done one of those for a while!

 The stunning image is Libby Carefree which you can purchase separately but she is also available as part of the super girly Fredericka CD Collection.  I also used one of the papers from the Winston Full Collection (such scrummy colours), cutting out some of the butterflies to 3D. 

Her basket is actually full of mushrooms (the non-poisonous varieties of course: she knows what she’s doing) but as this was a spring theme I filled it with flowers instead!

Ingredients:

Nikky has created the most gorgeous collection called Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Collection which is absolutely perfect for this challenge and for any anniversary/wedding/Valentines cards or gifts you may need to make.  I have used elements and papers from this along with this cute little couple called True Love/Best Friends that can also be purchased separately.

Hi there! Hope you are well!

Ok so this is a VERY sad post for me as this is my last as a member of the Cutie Pies Design Team.  I have made the VERY tough choice to leave the team as I have been offered another exciting opportunity that I could not turn down (more about that soon) so it was time to go.   I want to thank Lisa, Sue N, Sarah, Sue, Helen, Wendy, and Gemma, and newbies Shona and Kelly for being such fabulous teamies and for all the support and kindness they have shown me since I've been part of this wonderful team.  My first EVER design team to be exact!  So thank you so very much you gorgeous ladies and rest assured I will be stalking you around Blogland on a regular basis!!! Hmmm….sounds a little sinister that! J

Ok so before I start blubbing I had better get back to business.  The Cuties have a new challenge for February starting today and our theme this time is Cute Delightful Doilies!

We were privileged to be offered our choice of image from our sponsor Crafty Sentiments to use for this challenge and I chose to use Kaye - Springtime. Such a sweetie! I love her button nose!

 Ingredients:

Image: Crafty Sentiments ‘Kaye – Springtime’

Sentiment: Polkadoodles Work and Play 7

Dies: Tonic ‘Nesting Circles’- Tattered Lace fence – Spellbinders border

Punches: X-Cut ‘Mini Butterfly’

Paper/Card: Neenah Solar White – Kraft - LOTV ‘Country Lady’

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils

Others: Doilies – wooden butterfly – toadstool decorations - pearls

So don’t doi-lay (!!) and scoot over to the Cutie Pies blog to see all the wonderful projects created by the amazing team. Bye, bye lovely ladies, I will miss you LOADS!! L

Thanks so much for looking, and have a lovely day!

See ya!

Digital Delights Wednesday – Older Digis Month

Hello there! Me again!!

Today it is my turn to post a Wednesday project on the Digital Delights blog and this month our theme is Older Digis.

So as Valentine’s Day fast approaches I decided to get a little loved up and use the super cute Luv U Teddy , she is such a sweetheart (no pun intended!), and is also available in a coloured version here.

I kept it very simple this time (hoorah I hear you cry): just some matting and layering and a bit of ribbon. It’s sort of dinky too, just 5” x 5”! I like those; need to do them more often methinks! J 

Ingredients:

Image: Luv U Teddy

Dies: Tonic ‘Nesting Squares’

Paper/Card: Neenah Solar White – DCWV

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils

Others: Ribbon – doily - heart button – twine – faux stitching – air-dry clay & heart mould

So fall in love every day over at the Digital Delights Blog with a regular fix of fab inspiration and don't forget to visit the shop to see Wendy’s swoon-worthy designs!

Thanks so much for looking, and have a wonderful day!

See ya!
