The Tweet Life

Have you paid a visit to Digi Stamp Boutique recently?
Sally-Ann has some super cute new digis and even more on the way.
I was lucky enough to win a very generous voucher for her store, and here's one of the images I chose.
This is Alyssa.

I used a rectangle nestie to cut out a window in my white card and
placed my bird DP behind it.
Alyssa is coloured with Copics and some stickles glitter. 
I also added a touch of glitter to some of the birds wings.
 

Challenges.

Totally Papercrafts #31 Keep It Plain & Simple


Morning everyone,
it's time for another challenge at
Totally Papercrafts
and this week our host is the lovely Anne.
The theme Anne has chosen this week is

*Keep It Plain & Simple*

Now, you might think that, going from the name of my blog,
this would be a doddle of a challenge for me.
Not so... I struggle with simple, elegant cards
and my blog title is really a reminder to me to 
step away from the embellies!!
So, I can't wait to see all your entries showing me how it's done.
:-)

Here's my card - as plain as I could make it.
I so wanted to add some black pearls here and there,
but managed to stop myself...lol**

The stamps I used are from an Impression Obsession set
that I chose as part of a recent Simon Says challenge win.
Simon Says are our challenge sponsors this week
and they have so many delicious goodies
that you don't want to  miss out on the chance to get your hands on some.
So head on over to the blog, check out the brilliant work of my teamies
and leave your entry with the blue froggy!!!

Recipe - 
Stamp - Impression Obsession
DP - Papermania Capsule Collection, Mono.
Ribbon from my stash.

It's so tweet !!

It seemed like a good idea at the time...
to re-decorate Maria's room, now that she is away at Uni again.
I have scrubbed, sanded, glossed and emulsioned.... 
and it's not fun anymore... lol**
Just got to persuade hubby to do the wallpapering on Sat now...

So, this morning I finally got some time to craft
and I  decided to have a go at one of these sweet little backpacks.


I would like to enter this for the Simon Says Challenge,
where the theme is 'Sing it Baby'.
The song I chose is...   
Little Green Bag
Now, you may think that you have never heard of this song,
but take a listen, the first few bars are instantly recognisable.
Are you jumping to the left... and to the right ???


For the backpack I used the brilliant template and instructions by
Mary at Splitcoast Stampers

Do you want to see my deliberate mistake...  ??
I should have to stuck the pink flap inside the bag,
so that it wouldn't show.
Never mind... only you and I know that...   ;-)

Mini Backpack is  in green card.

Bird and sentiment stamps Impression Obsession 'Life is Tweet'
Ribbon and brads from my stash.
