A little Bear making a Snow Angel  hee hee :-D

I have coloured him with Promarkers and used Stickles on the snowy bits. I found a packet of these fabbo snowflakes... they have 2 sides, white and sort of holographic so I mixed them around.

CHRIMBO TIDDLIES

Hi Peeps,

Are you all getting excited about my Blog Candy draw ????  It stays open until midnight tonight and then I will draw the lucky Winner tomorrow :-)

Anyhoo - today is not a good day for me as I lost one of my beloved Kitties last night due to poisoning, so I have immersed myself in some crafting of little frivolities.
Now - I have many, many digi stamps from SLIEKJE... who gives away her digital cuties for FREE. !!!! She just loves drawing them. I know she is also a cat lady coz she has some gorgeous photos of them on her blog header.
But I digress.... I snagged me this little cutie the other day and decided to colour him up and use him. I used Copics and  Stickles to give him some bling and the paper and border are snippets from my box :-)

I've got some other bits to show you, so I will be back later :-)

I GOT A PREZZIE :-)

Hello and Happy Saturday,

I popped in to say that today I have glorious sunshine and full electricity - which is soooooo good after the traumas of this week !! :-)
Anyway.... last week I really needed a digi stamp of a toilet and I thought I had seen one at SCRIBBLES DESIGNS but I couldn't find it. Well _ I contacted Sandy to ask her if I had seen it and she told me there never was one.... BUT drew me one specially :-D      How coooool is that ??!!!!

Here is the toilet and it comes complete with Loo Roll :-)  Click on the Pic to go to the Shop ..

I wanted to enter the latest challenge over at CREATIVE CORNER CHALLENGES.... 'Sing a Song'... to make a creation inspired by a song. So I have made something to go with "Ode to the Toilet (Put that Toilet Seat Down)" by Brad Paisley :-) If you've never heard it you can go here ....  www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIiFGTwkm1I

I typed out the words of the song and printed them in green for my backing. I edged the card with distress ink. I fussy cut the toilet and the froggie and coloured them with Copics.  They are put on with 3D foam pads for extra pop :-)

Scribbles images used:   Toilet and Carl

FUN WITH ATCs #100 CHALLENGE

Hello Peeps and welcome to the 100th Challenge  over at FUN WITH ATCs 

I have made an ATC which has 100 tiny butterflies on it.  I wiped the card with a tri-colour stamp pad before cutting out the butterflies  with my Craft Robo. I added Stickles to them for some extra glitz  and used a little flower punch to do the 100. :-) 

My background paper says Congratulations in gold, but you can't really see it now. :-) LoL

I hope you will pop over and the the other gorgeous ATCs from my Teamies :-D

HAPPY MO-VEMBER :-D

Hello Peeps and Happy Sunday,
I just realised that it's MO-vember again........ not that I have any intention of trying to grow one bwaahahahaha !!!

I had a silly idea using one of Sandy's Sheep from SCRIBBLES BY SANDY  - he's Mr Wool and I have added him a Moustache which is also by Sandy :-D

I used the left over bits from die cuts as stencils for the flowers and orange ink pads for my background. The webby circle is by DECOSSE's DYNAMITE DOODLES and is part of the Mini Halloween Kit.
