Pollycraft Challenge and Blog Hop Winners

Happy Monday to all of you!  I hope you had a fantastic weekend! 

I have a couple of things to share today.  But since you're all probably anxious to find out the winners of the Pollycraft Blog Hop, we'll start off with that first.  I used random.org to pick my 2 winners and the winning numbers are:

          #8   Angelwhispers         

                     and

          #19   Joey

So, Angelwhispers and Joey, you have won this digi from Pollycraft.  Please email Paula at Paula@pollycraft.co.uk and she will send your digi to you.  I want to thank all of you for joining in the blog hop and leaving such sweet comments.

Pollycraft also has a challenge every Monday and you can find all the details over at the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  Their challenge this week is ... Fly me to the Moon.

I used Moon Fairy on my card.  Isn't she adorable?  I used copics and colored pencils to color my image and I added Glamour Dust to her wings.  I also used a little of the Glamour Dust on the moon.  I used my Martha Stewart border punch and added some ribbon and a bow.  My stars are from Michaels and they were already glittered ... perfect!  A few pearls finished off my card.

Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the beautiful work by their amazing DT.  I hope you find some time to play along in the challenge this week.

I used Love You Bunches.  Isn't she adorable?  I think she's just the cutest little tomboy I've ever seen!  I used copics and colored pencils to color this sweetie.  I added a little stickles to her ponytail bands and the flowers in her bouquet.  I made some rolled flowers out of some super soft fleece and added some pearls in the flowers and a few in the corner.  I finished my card with some ribbon, a bow and a little heart charm.

          I'm giving away the Digi I used 'Love you Bunches' to 2 lucky winners!

Some Hippie Love

Hello friends.  I have something new to share with you today.  Several weeks ago (or maybe months?)  I picked up a few notebooks at a local store so that I could alter them.  You know, take something fairly cheap ... and ugly ... and turn it into something pretty.  Well, I finally finished one!  And I have to say, I really like the way it turned out.

My image is Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy Hippie Love.  Don't you just love that outfit?  I colored this sweetie with copics and colored pencils.  I added some StarDust stickles to her string of hearts and used a black glaze pen on the jacket buttons.  I added some flowers and ribbons to finish my notebook.  This notebook is for my niece and I know she's going to love this little hippie.  You can find Hippie Love and all the other adorable Simply Sassy images at Funky Kits. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Totally Ladybug Tuesday Challenge #17

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at the Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog.  It was my turn to choose the challenge this week and I picked Stitching - faux or real.  So as you can see, it's an easy challenge this week.

I used Cupcake Cutie - Cherry on Top on my card this week.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added Glossy Accents to the cherry.  I added some stickles to the flower in her hair and added Glamour Dust to the cupcake frosting.  I stitched the edges of all my papers.  Then I used a Bazzill In Stitch'z template and green embroiderly floss to add  some accent stitching.  My sentiment is from the Sentimental Numbers set. 

If you played in our blog hop or challenge last week, be sure to stop by Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog to see if you were a winner.  You'll also want to check out the beautifully stitched projects by the rest of the talented DT.  I hope you find time to play along in our challenge this week.

I used Tammy on my card ... isn't she adorable with those big glasses and her sweet little snowman friend?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added some Glamour Dust to the pom poms on her hat and her scarf.  I used tiny little pearls for the buttons on her coat and added some Glossy Accents to the buttons on her legwarmers.  I used my Martha Stewart snowflake border punch and also added a bow.  I punched various size snowflakes, layered them, and then added a little pearl to the center of each one.  I also used Glamour Dust on the snowflakes, the snowman, and the snow on the ground.

Feel Better

Happy Friday to all of you.  It's finally here ... Friday, that one day that we all look forward to each week.  I found a cute freebie image over at Bugaboo Stamps this week and decided to make my card using him.

This little guy is named Itchy Dog Bowl.  Isn't he adorable?  I colored him using copics and colored pencils.  I added Glossy Accents to his nose, the pads of his feet, and also to the food bowl.  I just picked up this Maraschino twine (by The Twinery) at my LSS, Simply Scrapbooks (thank you Vicki, I love all the colors you stocked!).  I added a few buttons to finish my card.

The Simply Sassy Design Team is having a blog hop tomorrow so be sure you stop by.  We'll be showing all the new images from the Simply Sassy Set 5 and of course there will be prizes you can win.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you tomorrow!
