Ladybug Crafts Ink...Suzy

Hello me lovelies

This post will be scheduled because i have a busy day food shopping etc etc...oh what fun!! {NOT!!} Lol

I have used another Skinny Malinky from Ladybug Crafts Ink and she is called "Suzy"...classy girl who has stopped off for cuppa and a cupcake before she heads back to what a girl does best...SHOPPING!! Lol

Anyhoo Ladybug Crafts Ink started their new challenge on Tuesday and its a WOW {white on white} challenge which made me think that i haven't done one of these cards for a long time so i gave it a go and here's what i came up with...hope you likey :)

Yes i know i have coloured the image but i am sure that will be okay *fingers crossed*

I am not totally happy with the image because as i was colouring i dropped my marker and it landed on my background so i decided i colour it all with the colour i dropped and it made it look a little dark...i know what your going to ask....Why not just print another off??
Unfortunately my ink has run out so i couldn't do that so i just thought what the heck just go with it!!

Stamps...Ladybug Crafts Ink "Suzy" digi stamp from Skinny Malinky range, Clearly Besotted "Say It With Style" stamp set

Papers and card...White card {stash}

Fancy Florals with a hint of Pink...{Take 2}

Hello me lovelies

I was going to come back last night with the card i am going to share with you today but i ran out of time before i went to my weekly "Craft get together"...which we were making Christmas cards last night because we don't want to be rushing at the last minute with those so we do a batch once a month...we should have plenty by then Lol
Anyhoo today's card is {Take 2} of the Fancy Florals card i shared with you the other day...same design and colour except the flowers are different!!
 I make cards in batches...big or small and the reason is, you can guarantee that a customer will see what another customer has bought and want one the same so i make a few the same but sometimes i tend to just change something on it, nothing major...just something little.
Righto me lovelies enough of the old waffle, here's my card...hope you likey :)

Just noticed i haven't added my pearls under my sentiment *shaking head* at oneself...i guess i will later!!

Little Claire's...Poppies Shadow Box

Hello me lovelies

I had recently seen a tutorial on how to make a shadow box on Kerry from A load of old Pickle and you can find it on Kerry's blog here but i have also put a link to it on my Tutorial page above. 

Anyhoo i thought i'd give a go and to be honest i thought it was easy to follow...thanks Kerry!!

The image i have used for my shadow box is a Little Claire's 'Poppies' stamp which i think it's absolutely beautiful and as poppies are usually red i just thought i'd go for red and white theme which i think is just perfect for this image as the red will just pop.
