Fire flys

Good morning all - well temperatures have hit an all time low this weekend with predicted wind chills being as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit Brrrr!!! Needless to say we are staying in all weekend keeping warm!
 
As it's Sunday that must mean there is another challenge starting over at Scribble and Scrap. As always it's anything goes so get your makes photographed and head over to the blog to take part.
The rules are simple and you will find them here. You could win yourself a great prize from the store.
 
The Scribble and Scrap Store has some gorgeous Sweet Pea stamps in and I have used one of them for my Design Team card:
 
 
As the weather is so cold I'd thought I'd warm it up with fire fly. Isn't she gorgeous. These stamps are so hard to resist and I love coloring them. I have used Spectrum Noir Markers to color her. I have them matted a red card blank with some pale blue card, more red and them some brightly colored papers. The ribbon across the card is a die cut using a memory box die. I have matted the image using the same card and then used some sparkly gems and some double click skittles to finish off.
 
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop by the Scribble and Scrap blog to see my teamies makes and enter the challenge.

A little Fairy Tangle

Good morning and welcome to my design team post for Challenge 37 over at Scribble and Scrap. As Always there is a fab prize to win and this challenge it is some fab flowers from the store!
 
The challenge as always is anything goes and the rules are simple you can find them here.
 
There are lots of fab stamps in the Scribble and Scrap store like the one I have used today:
 
 
This is a Sweet Pea stamp from Norma J Burnell and is called Cybele and Kaida I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir pens and matted her onto coordinating pink card.  The backing papers I have used were a freebie in a magazine some time ago again I have matted these onto the pink card. All the corners have been rounded with a punch to blend in with the scalloped card blank. Some pink pearls and a corner cut using a Cheery Lynn die have been place to finish off the card.
 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you pop across and enter our challenge.

On to my make for the design team - I have used a Sweet Pea Stamp which can be purchased from the Scribble and Scrap online store along with a wide selection of other crafty goodies.

 
 
She has been colored with Polychromo Pencils - I am quite pleased with how she has turned out and need to use my pencils more! I have matted her onto dark pink card and used 2 papers from my stash as backing paper. again matted onto pink and turquoise card. I have then used a few skittles to embellish the card. These stamps need very little dressing up as they are so detailed and show themselves off!
