ST PATTY's DAY

Hi there Peeps,
I got a really cute FREEBIE from BUGABOO on their FB Fan Page the other day so I used him to make a St Patrick's Day card for my friend in the UK.
I used lots of snippets from my St Paddy's box. These papers were from DOODLE PANTRY St Patrick's Day set (sadly the Shop is now closed).

I coloured the cute Turtle with Spectrum Noir markers and then fussy cut him out.
The Doily is made with a die and then I cut a teeny, thin strip of the green paper to thread through instead of ribbon.

I was " Turtley " inspired by JODIE MACKRELL's  card . Instead of adding buttons, I fussy cut a couple of the teeny shamrocks from the backing paper.

My second piece for today is a St Patrick's Day tag to send to a friend :-)
I have used  'CARL O'BRIAN' by SCRIBBLES DESIGNS.  I paper pieced him with some croc skin and enhanced that with Copics, and his hat was done using one of the backing papers.
I cut the card from heavy cardstock. The background papers are from DOODLE PANTRY St Paddy Digi Paper Set . (No longer trading)
I fussy cut Carl and some shamrocks and then I made a little ticket. I tied on a floral button, a beaded stick pin and added some feathers to finish.

I am going to brave the weather down and walk the Doggo down the mountain where I shall have coffee with a chum. psssst.... I've heard she's made cake LoL

READY FOR ST PADDY's DAY

Hello Peeps and happy weekend.
I have popped in with a little St Paddy's card that I will be sending to a friend in the UK.
I used St Paddy Digi Papers  and  Irish Birdie  from DOODLE PANTRY. I edged the card with green  ink and also stencilled through a doily with the same green.
I printed the birdie 4 times and fussy cut him and then layered with foamies to make him 3D. Afterwards I glossed him with Glossy Accents.

The Birdie comes with some Irish sentiments and I used one on the front and another on the inside.

I followed the Sketch shown at Just Add Ink.

TEENSY INCHIE ART #3

Here I am with another INCHIE for the latest Challenge over at EVERY INCHIE MONDAY and the Theme this weeks is "Slippers". This would actually be week 5 and I have every intention of doing weeks 1 - 3 so I can keep up my collection. I will post them all together at the end of the year :-D
This week I have used 'Bunny Slippers' Paper & Digi pack from DOODLE PANTRY. This cute little set is actually on the FREEBIES page !! :-D  

I made a little black card easel-ette to display my inchies on for photographing, as they are pretty hard to do otherwise :-D

Here's a close-up......

This is the Digi Kit that I used.............................

Thanks for dropping in :-)

SUNSHINY DAY :D

Hello Peeps and Happy Sunday,

I am now getting back to normal after having my lovely Daughter and her family here for a fortnight. It seems very quiet and a bit lonely now they have all gone back :-(
Surprisingly, I decided to work with my favourite colour today - Yellow - and so am having a bit of a sunshiny day :-D

My first one is using up my snippets of patterned vellum and daisy ribbon with a Freebie image from NEWTON's NOOK DESIGNS - who I only discovered this morning, and I have fallen in love with the Newton Stamp sets, so might just be treating myself pretty soon :-D I used the sketch given for this week's Challenge. 

I printed out the image 4 times and coloured it with Spectrum Noir pens and then fussy cut the pieces to decoupage up with foamies. I added a blob of Diamond Glaze to the little Ladybird and then used a black pen to draw the flight line up to the text and past to the bug :-)

My second card features this week's Freebie from  A DAY FOR DAISIES, and I have coloured this one with Promarkers.

I cut it out with my new frame die - Pierced Stacker #4 - from Cheery Lynn Designs.

This card also uses snippets of papers from the plaid collection at DOODLE PANTRY and some oddments of paper for the lacy borders.

I cut out some leaves and made some lemon blossom to add in the corner.

I followed SKETCH #249 from Sketch Saturday for this piece, but I turned it sideways..

I definitely feel a bit jollier having been working with yellow this afternoon :-)

Thank you for dropping in.

HAVING A PLAY DAY

Hello Peeps,
well - it's a bit wet and windy today so I am staying indoors and having a play day in my studio :-D
Here's a little St Patrick's card I made using a Freebie I got from DEARIE DOLLS.... St Patty's Day Doggie. I coloured him with Spectrum Noir pens to look a bit like my little houndoe (who happens to be asleep in his basket beside me). After colouring I cut him out and raised him on foamies.
The background paper is from Doodle Pantry - St Paddy Digi Papers and the cut outs/swirls are ones I bought this morning from SILHOUETTE.
The lace is scraps from my stash.
I stamped Lucky on the little shamrock banner with my baby letter stamps (from China).

Thank you for stopping by :-) xx

YAY !! A BIT OF CRAFTING

Hello Peeps,
Well here I am actually doing a spot of crafting today. I felt pretty chipper this morning so I thought I'd risk it. I actually got three things done today but I can only show you this one just now. :-D

It's a little piece for St Patrick's day and I shall probably send it to my friend who celebrates St Pat's :-D

IT's ATC TIME AGAIN

Good morning and Happy Sunday.
I hope you are all going to have a crafting day today :-D
I have made an ATC for the new Challenge over at WICKED WEDNESDAY ATCs and their theme is "Crazy For Daisies". :-)
Now I LOVE daisies so I couldn't resist this one.
I have used 'Mad Scientist' from Smeared Ink and dressed him up with a fabbo daisy hat from Doodle Pantry. The background is also from them. I made a tiny easel ATC and the daisies and scientist are multi printed and fussy cut and then layered up with 3D foam pads. I cut one of the petals off too and put it between his fingers, so he's actually playing 'Loves me - Loves me not'  hahahaha  :-D

EASTER BUNNIES + St PAT's

Happy Saturday Peeps,
Here I am posting away whilst my internet seems to be doing real well... YaY. Thought I would stick loads of things on, so expect to be inundated with schtuff this weekend LoL

Now - since I don't do Easter, I thought I might get a few Creapster things done... hahaha

I recently bought some new OCTOPODE images and this one is called 'Norman and Nigel'.  Norman is trying to do his Easter Bunny bit in his own putrid, skanky way that only a Zombie Bunny can do !!! LoL  I made him into an ATC with a freebie background and also the egg basket from 'Easter Mini Kit' by Scrappers Emporium.

I also made a tag with a great little St Patrick's Day Teddy that was already pre-coloured and given as a Freebie by CREATIVE BUG ON THE LOOSE....  thank you  Naomi :-D

I did ask her if I could cut the trees off him as I didn't want to use those this time.

I used some St Pat's backgrounds from Doodle Pantry - I pleated the tartan one but it doesn't show up well on here,  some clip art shamrocks, my own St Pat's Ticket digi and I added a Pin that I made. Button and feathers from my stash.

Naomi does some great Freebies so why not pop over there to see her too :-D
