Prom Night

Can someone please tell me how we got to March... already!!! 

I've only just got organised from Christmas and now it will be Easter before I know it.

Over at Totally Papercrafts this week, the lovely Mel has a fab challenge for you. The theme is... 

Song and Dance

I had to dig deep into my stash to find an image to fit the theme, and finally came across this Sassy Studios digi, called Crissy's Prom.  
Prom ~ dance ~ I can scrape by with that one, right? :-)

I did try hard with the pleats on her dress, but my colouring skills aren't really up to it. A litle glitter hides the worst of it :-)

Challenges.

Ladybug Crafts Ink - Pink & Girly

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments - Happy Birthday

Supplies.
Sassy Studios Digi, Crissy's Prom, coloured with Copics and Glamour Dust.

Sorry about the rubbish photo - the flash has washed the colours out a little.

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Sassy Studios - I love their digis -  and they kindly sent me this cute Santa's Helper to play with.

She's coloured with Copics, some fine green glitter and white opal Liquid Pearls.

Please check out the gorgeous, glittery creations from my TPC teamies

Merry Christmas Stamp - Catslife Press.

Happiness is a long, hot, bubble bath.

Here's a card I made for my BFF.

She has a chronic illness that she refuses to give in to, so she runs on pure adrenaline most of the time. It means that when she crashes, she usually ends up with a few days in hospital.

I wanted to remind her to chill out, relax and take care of herself.

I started with the bubble bath image from Sassy Studio designs. It's actually a full image of a lady in the bath, but I cropped it down and then paper pieced the bath and used stickles glitter for the bubbles.

The chandelier, was a free digi from Shery K Designs.

I couldn't find the right shade of gold ribbon in my stash, so I cut some little ribbon style pieces from the DP and finished off with the card candy.

DP is My Mind's Eye, True Blue.

Challenges

Make it Monday - Linky Party

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (use metal as an optional extra)

Allsorts - Free & Easy

Fab 'n' Funky - Friendship.   Hope this qualifies, but I know I haven't added a

'friend' sentiment anywhere, so just delete it, if it doesn't. No worries!

Let it snow... just not yet !!

Now that we're in November, I need to step up my Christmas card making - here's one I made for a good friend,  I know she will appreciate the non-traditional style.

 I used the gorgeous 'First Snow' digi stamp from Sassy Studio Designs   coloured with Copics. I 3D'd the girl and coloured the background in with a pale green Copic and some stickles glitter. The green doesn't show up too well on the photo!!

Happiness is a long, hot, bubble bath!

Morning everyone,

did you all have a good weekend?

The weather was glorious here, 

 we headed off to Flamborough Head in the Mustang,
and walked our little legs off, along the cliff path.

I wanted to show you some pics, but hubby has deleted them from the camera already!!

I will have to get them off his comp later.

For now, here is my latest card.

I used a cute digital stamp from Sassy Studio Designs

(chosen as part of my win over at Aud Sentiments).

I coloured it with Copics and added stickles glitter to the bubbles.
I cut out an extra bath tub and added it with foam pads,
so 'in real life' this has a much more 3D look!

I just noticed I forgot to add some stickles to the little pool of water

on the floor... better do that in a mo.

I followed the great sketch over at Friday Sketchers (rotated)
