Morning all, gosh it is a real cold one, we had a very heavy frost last night, if I didn't know better I would have thought that we had had a fine layer of snow that is how bad the frost is, I put nearly a whole bag of suet pellets out in different places for the birds and they came from everywhere, bless em.

I think Wryn has got the right idea in this image she is wrapped up all nice and warm to fend off the cold weather. (Wryn in the Fall)

I coloured her with Graph It Markers and mounted her onto black cardstock, the papers are a bit of a mix of LOTV and Papermania, I used my SU corner punch for the black corners, added a couple of punched butterflies, some buttons, double bow and flowers, the circle I cut with my EK Success cutter,

One of the challenges that I am entering is add as many 'B's' to your project I have used, blue, brown, black, buttons, bow and butterflies.

SPRINGTIME COLOURS

Hi all, at the moment the sun is shining but there are some big black clouds around so something may be falling later either snow or rain, it is still rather chilly but at least we haven't, as yet, had the hurricane winds.

Today I have a card to share with you that I managed to finish off last night, I have been colouring images in ready to make cards up but this one is actually finished.

I have used an Aurora Wings image called Ribbons, I have coloured her with both Graph It Markers and Copics, I have gone for Springtime colours to brighten the day, I have also added a few new embellishments, flowers and the pearl/gold gems, a new colour of Flower Pearl and some lovely Hunkydory Lemon Sorbet Glitter, all new to me, I have taken a few pictures so, hopefully, in one of them you will see the sparkle.

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS #2

Hi all, I am so proud to be able to share with you my very first DT project for

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS

however, I am gutted that after all the preparations that I got the time wrong my apologies to everyone.

We had a great turnout for our very first challenge I do hope that you will all come join us for this our second one.

Please ensure you read the rules and are a follower of the challenge blog

the theme is

ANYTHING GOES

our lovely sponsors are

Bugaboo Stamps

KITH AND KIT STAMP CO

3 digi images

STAR IN MY POCKET

prize 2 images

Now onto my project which features an image from the Bugaboo Sunbonnet range called

Fancy Sunbonnet Cake

I decided to make both a gift bag and card using this image, I have coloured her with Graph It Markers, I used my EK Success to cut out the circles, the papers are from my stash, I added flowers, bows, sentiments, liquid pearls, resin flowers, lace, sentiments and punched butterflies

The bag is actually recycled, my son often goes and gets a takeaway of some sort and when he had taken out all his food I noticed that this bag was like new and unstained so I thought I would do a bit of recycling.
