Unicorn's are cute!

Good afternoon, we are having a real mix of weather, snow, warm sunny days and rain all within 4 days! Yesterday was so nice that Mollie got her sandals out!!!

On to my post for today - who love's unicorns - these mythical creatures are stunning and can look so elegant but today's version is a little cute pudgy one from the Scrapoholic Candy Shop:

Aren't they the cutest?

I have colored the one on the left:

I used my Spectrum Noir Markers and a purple fine line pen to give the mane and tail depth.

I then matted the image and some gorgeous rainbow design paper from my stash with purple card before adhering them to an 8x8in scalloped card base. I added a matching ribbon and some colored skittles to finish the card.

The image is part of this week's Monday releases and you can find him in the Scrapoholic Candy Shop along with cute dragons and the most adorable gymnasts you have ever seen! You can see other inspiration over on the Scrapoholic fan Facebook page

Doodlebug Bunny Ballerina

Good morning all - the snow has finally started to disappear and there is no more forecast over the next 8 days - in fact the temperatures are due to rise to decent levels!

Spring is finally on it's way and I have seen my first robin today which confirms this! With Spring comes Easter and fun for kids over at Faery Ink the Facebook challenge this month is to color a gorgeous Easter Image - Meet Doodlebug Bunny Ballerina.

Isn't she adorable? She is free over on the challenge group and as long as you follow the directions over there you can win some fab prizes.

One thing you need to do is create a background for her. As she's an Easter Bunny I chose to make an egg shaped card!

I colored Doodlebug with my Spectrum Noir Markers choosing a nice peachy color for her dress. I then fussy cut her ready to be placed on my card

My card blank was designed on my Silhouette Cameo, I drew an egg shape, copied and pasted it so I had 2 then welded them together before cutting in yellow card. 

My design Paper is from a Crafter's Companion collection, I die cut one edge and then cut to fit on the lower part of the egg. Doodlebug was positioned so her ear overhangs on the card. 

I added a small stamped sentiment, some coordinating Wild Orchid flowers and a few enamel dots to balance the card.

Isn't she just a cutie and she's all your if you decide to follow our Facebook challenge   

It's the very first Challenge at Dreamtime Craft Supplies

On to my make for this month. Spring is almost upon us and I need to keep reminding myself of this so I decided that would be my theme:

Meet Tilda Decorates Easter. I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored her with Spectrum Noir Markers and ink the edges of the image card with distress ink.

I then chose coordinating papers from my stash and matted these onto green card. I inked a doily with the same distress color before arranging my layers onto a white card base.

I chose some Wild Orchid Flowers and arranged these before adhering to my card using a hot glue gun. I then used White opal liquid pearls on the image and corners of the card just to balance the design.

I love using flowers on my cards - I do have quite a stock of them but they look so pretty in the boxes that I don't like separating them :)

I hope you like my design and this inspires you to come and join our 1st challenge!

Some Bunny Loves you

Good afternoon! We had a huge dump of snow yesterday but it's supposed to disappear quickly and we have temperatures of 60+F forecast for next week! - Here's hoping!!!!

I'm kicking off some Easter makes with my post today, The Scrapoholic Candy Shop has released some adorable Easter digi stamps this week and I couldn't resist coloring up this adorable Bunny Butt!

Isn't it just the cutest???

It's from the Coloring Fun Collection, the sentiment is separate but I decided to place it within the egg - that's the advantage of digi stamps you can play around with the size and order of everything. 

I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir Markers and die cut that and the checked design paper with Gina Marie's stitched circle dies. 

The papers are from Lili of the Valley, I matted the pink onto my card base and used the others to accent my image.

I found the ribbon in the clearance section in my local Walmart's Store this morning and couldn't resist popping this and another 6 roll into my cart :)

I added some enamel dots just to balance the card - a super cute card for a super cute image!!!

Goodbye Christmas

Well I've just been shoveling a ton of snow so feels a bit Christmasy here! 

I have some sad news today - It's finally time for me to move on from The 12 Month's of Christmas design team this month will be my last post with them. I have enjoyed my time on the team and it has certainly encouraged me to keep on top of my Christmas crafting!

So without further ado here's the details about this months Challenge:

Our Sponsor this month is A Day for Daisies 

They will be giving away a $12 gift certificate to a random winner who has followed the optional theme.

There is also a 2nd prize offered to everyone even if you don't follow the theme you could have the chance of winning a set of Holiday Decoration digital papers from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles.

Ok I hear you ask what is this months theme?

Holiday Decorations - I don't know about you, but one of the things that I love about Christmas time is the decorations that I see up all over the place.  Whether in people's homes, or out and about in the community, there are such a wide variety of beautiful holiday decorations to choose from.  Strings of lights, wreaths on doors, stockings on mantles (or in the case of my house, hanging from the piano!), window paintings, tree ornaments, angels on trees--the list goes on and on!  This month, let's bring some of those holiday decorations to your cards!

On to my showcase, I couldn't resist using Sparkle Angels for my card:

These tiny angels look like they are decorating the tree with star shaped baubles. I have colored the image with Faber Castell Polychromo pencils and matted it onto pearlescent blue card. I used the same card for my base and to die cut the bauble.

I matted my card blank with 2 colors of digital design papers from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. Adding a stamp from Crafter's Companion to hang my bauble from

Simple card but I didn't feel it needed any further embellishment.

OK you can find our Challenge on the 12 Month's of Christmas Link up blog, it runs for a month and all you have to do is link up a Christmas card - think of it like your 1 more card to completing your Christmas makes for this year!
