Hello and happy Friday to all of you. We have a new release over at StampFairy today and I think you're going to love these adorable Christmas cuties.

Let's Hit The Town
Hello friends. It's Wednesday so that means I have a Simply Sassy card to share today. I have used Let's Hit The Town, a sassy girl from the newest Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy release.
Isn't she a beautiful girl? I love the sweet look on her face and her outfit is fabulous ... but look at her shoes! They so remind me of shoes I wore when I was younger. And I could actually walk in them without breaking my neck lol. I colored this sweetie with copics and colored pencils and added some WOC flowers and a sheer ribbon & bow. The flourish is a new MFT die and the sentiment is from PTI. I thought this sentiment would be perfect with this image. You can find this sassy girl and all her friends over at Funky Kits.

Tags and Bookmarks
Hello peeps. Well, are you ready to start a new week? I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog. Our lovely Arabella has chosen the theme this week and she's asking that we make tags and/or bookmarks.
I have been wanting to make one of these corner bookmarks for the longest time. I know, I'm probably the last person in blogland to actually make one lol! It was so easy that I'm kicking myself for not trying one sooner. This little bookmark is going to my grandson so I decided to use Fluffy from the Critters and Cogs collection. I know he will love this image! He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I've added Glossy Accents to his horns, eyes, teeth, and nails. The border punch is by EK Success and works perfectly with animal images ... or with not-very-scarey monsters :)
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
Stamp: Pollycraft - Critters and Cogs Fluffy
Paper: BoBunny - Blast Off!; Bazzill
Other: Copics, Caran d'Ache and Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, nestabilities, EK Success pawprint punch, Glossy Accents

Make Your Own Flowers
Happy Saturday! We have a new challenge for you over at Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog. For this challenge we are asking that you make your own flowers for your card or project.
I've used the adorable Sweet Scents image. This is one of Di's newer designs and I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. I'm usually more of a dog lover, but who could resist this sweet little kitty? I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added Glossy Accents to her nose. I used some stickles on the flower centers and the butterfly. My flowers are made from felt and were cut using a die.
Be sure to stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to check out the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT. Our challenge will be open for two weeks so there's plenty of time for you to join us. We are being sponsored by Joanna Sheen for this challenge.

Swirls and Pearls over at Pollycraft
It's Monday so that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog. This week it was my turn to choose the theme and I'm asking that you add some swirls and pearls to your beautiful creations.
I used Claudia's Tutu from the Spencer and Claudia collection. I just love this adorable little ballerina bear and thought she would be the perfect image to use with some swirls and pearls. I colored her using copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to her nose. I used white acrylic paint to add some polka dots to her hair bow. I purchased some of this lovely lace a few weeks ago and thought it would be perfect on this girly birthday card.

A Simply Sassy Sneak Peak
Happy Wedneday friends. I have a little sneak peak to share with you today.
This sweet girl is called "Love Letters". I think she's beautiful and she was so much fun to color. I used my copics and colored pencils to color this image. I also tried something new ... instead of making a card, I made a little keepsake box. I painted a paper mache box with cream acrylic paint and added some pretty Melissa Frances dp and some lace. I made a little lace rosette and added a flower to the center, and I added some flourishes made with my Memory Box die. In the other corner I added some WOC mulberry roses, punched leaves, and pearls.
We are having sneak peeks all week over on the Simply Sassy Blog so be sure to pop over and check out the beautiful work by the dt. Please mark your calendar because we're having a blog hop this Saturday and we'll be showing you all the new Simply Sassy images. All these images will be available Saturday at Funky Kits.

Baby Love
Happy Monday friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Since it is Monday, we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Monday Challenge Blog. This week our lovely Kylie chose our theme and she is asking that we all show some "Baby Love".
I used the adorable Little Stars - Super Star image for my card today. This Little Stars collection has the cutest little baby images so be sure you check it out! I colored this sweet tot with copics and colored pencils and used some stickles on the star on his pocket. I added a little bit of Glamour Dust to the larger star that he's holding. I found this adorable style of card over on Dena's Stamping Corner while I was surfing the blog the other day ... do stop by to check out her blog as her work is always so gorgeous!
Here's a picture showing the inside tag. The sentiment is one I've had for ages and I actually purchased it for the card I made my daughter when she had my sweet little grandson Zack :D Now please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Monday Challenge Blog to check out the fabulous designs by the rest of the DT!

In My Garden
Happy Sunday to all of you. I hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far. I have a new card to share with you today.
I've used a sentiment from the In My Garden set, which is a new release by Raindrop Echo Designs at Whimsy Stamps. I colored this image with copics and colored pencils. I added some pearls, a bow, and a little flower. I wanted to keep my design simple so that the focus is on the beautiful sentiment. I have a friend who loves gardening so I'm going to give this card to her.
Be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps to check out all their fabulous images (they carry both rubber and digi). They're having an Autumn sale but do hurry as the sale ends today.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Simply Spooky
Good morning. If you follow my blog then you know I love Halloween. My daughter was born on Halloween and I love everything about it ... the decorations, the trick-or-treaters, and of course the candy!
I have a little Halloween treat bag to share with you today. I used the Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy Witches Cauldron stamp for my treat bag. Isn't she the prettiest witch you've ever seen? I love all that hair! She might be cooking up a batch of love potion brew but she's so cute I don't think she needs it, do you? I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and used just a little Glamour Dust on the heart on her hat and the buttons on her dress. My paper is the new Doodlebug Design halloween line. I love their new papers, they're so perfect for Halloween creations.
I'm sure you've seen these little treat bags all over blogland but if you want to know how I made mine, you can stop by the Simply Sassy Blog for the directions. Fill these up with yummy chocolates and they would make perfect gifts for teachers or your friends. If you make one please leave me a comment so I can visit your blog and check it out :)
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.

The Wrinklies Blog Hop
Hello everyone. It's a big day over at the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge Blog. Kerry has a new release of stamps and we are having a blog hop to celebrate!
OK, so here are the blog hop rules ... yes, I know, we all hate rules but you gotta have a few lol.
1) Visit each of the DT members in order and leave a comment on each of their blog hop posts
2) Once you have finished the hop, leave a comment on the challenge blog telling us which is your most favorite of the new images
3) Display the blog hop banner on your blog, either in a post or on your sidebar
That's it ... easy peasy, huh? The hop will close at 12 pm midday GMT on Monday, September 12. The winners will be announced at 9 am GMT on Tuesday, September 13 on the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge Blog. You should have arrived at my blog from Tams' blog. If not, please go back and start at Kerry's blog.
I have used the new Grow Old With Me Wrinkley stamp on my card today. I've colored this sweet couple with copics and colored pencils and paper pieced their chair. I've added some ribbon and a bow. The sentiment comes with this stamp, along with two other fabulous sentiments.
Today is my last post as a Ladybug as I have decided to step down from the DT. This was my very first DT and I want to thank Kerry for giving me the chance to design for her. You girls have such enormous talent! We started off as strangers with a love of stamping and have become (I think) a close group of supportive, fabulous friends. You girls are amazing and I'll still be checking you out in blogland :)
So, the next DT you want to visit on this hop is the lovely Gaelle. I hope you enjoy the hop and good luck!
Thank you for stopping by.
