Stars and Snowflakes

Welcome to a new week and a new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge

The theme is Stars and/or Snowflakes. I made use of one of my Julie Loves kits from Craftwork Cards. I love this colour palette!! The digi image is an old one from Paper Nest Dolls, one of our sponsors.

As you can see, a really simple card.

I hope that you will manage to snatch a minute or two, during this busy time of year, to join us. We can't promise mince pies and mulled wine but a warm welcome is always available!!

See you soon friends xx

AYLI People or Animals?

Hello everyone, I can't believe it's been a week since I have posted here.

Anyway, it's time for the every other Thursday dilemma for you.

People or Animals is the theme at 

Now, this was a tough one for me but after having a bit of a count, it seems that people are my favourite thing to colour. I like to have a play with my alcohol markers with different skin tones. That said, I still go back to using the same old three!!

I used Fairy Emma with Unicorn from our sponsor Paper Nest Dolls

She was coloured with Promarker pens. The backing paper is from another of the Craftwork Cards Subscription kits. To finish off I used a sentiment stamp from a Mama Elephant set.

Thank you for visiting me. I am not sure if I am going to be able to return the favour any time soon. I am at screaming point with work as our new member of staff has now resigned after only a couple of weeks so we are back to square one!! Hey ho...onwards and upwards!!

Until next time xx

Favourite Festive Digi

Morning campers!! Hope you had a good weekend, mine was as predicted!! I even managed a bit of crafty indulgence which I will share tomorrow.

Anyway, it's Christmas time again!! Not really, but it is time for a new challenge at

where it's Favourite "CUTE" Festive Digi

I used an image from our sponsor, Paper Nest Dolls,  and here is what I made.

This is Christmas Angel, coloured with Promarkers. The papers were free with a magazine last Christmas time, I think. I stickled her wings for a bit of festive frosting and the sentiment tags are good old LOTV.

It would be lovely to see your Cute Christmas cards!!

Toodles for now and I will be back tomorrow, all being well xx

AYLI - Favourite Hair Colour

Yay... Thurdsay and nearly the weekend. It's also the first challenge of the New Year at

this time it's

  Your Favourite Hair Colour,

please tell us why and list the colours that you use too.

I used Sewing Avery from our sponsor Paper Nest Dolls. She was coloured with Promarkers using Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa and  Umber for her hair. These are my "go to" colours as I always get good results, although hair is something that I still struggle with!!

The papers were free with a magazine some time ago so it was time they got used!!

Better head off to work, typical that we have snow heading our way today and I won't get to enjoy it with the hairy kids...never mind.

Have a good day whatever you are up to xx

Anyway, less of that and onto my card which is my DT card for

Valentines Day, Engagement, Wedding or Anniversary, we don't mind but please make sure that it follows the theme and has a CUTE element. All the details are on the challenge blog.

and

are our sponsors this time so great prizes up for grabs!!

I used a PND image for my card that was coloured with Promarkers and a white Sakura gel pen for the dots. The wonderful heart of hearts die has been waiting to be used since last year (oops!!) and I stickled all the little cut outs for a bit of girly gorgeousness, together with her heart garland. The stamped sentiment is from an older MFT set and there you have it....it's easy...All you need is love, da, da, da, da, da, all you need is love....
