Mid Way Reminder at Ready Teddy Go - Love is in the Air

Hi there

Firstly let me apologise for my lack of posting/commenting over recent weeks.  I thought I had been lucky and managed to avoid all the bugs and viruses that had been going around this winter, but the flu bug finally caught up with me, and knocked me for six.  I am finally feeling better and getting back to some regular crafting/blogging.   

Anyway enough of my waffling, I'm here to remind you that you still have time to enter this month's challenge over at Ready Teddy Go.

The theme this month is 'Love is in the Air' and we have a great sponsor MeiFlower who are offering one lucky winner a fantastic prize, so well worth having a go. 

My card features 'Teddy with Balloon' by LOTV which I've coloured with Copic pens.  The background paper is from Forever Friends.

Papers : With Love (Forever Friends) and Bazzil Cardstock

Embellishments : Flowers (Wild Orchid Crafts), Ribbon (craft stash) and

Rhinestones (craft stash)

Classic Petal Edgeabilities (Spellbinder) and Sofia Heart (Memory Box)

Love is in the Air

 

Hi

 

There’s a new challenge starting over at Penny Black and More today, and I was delighted to be asked to be Guest Designer for this month's challenge.  The theme this month is 

 

Love Is In The Air

 

I've used "Gift Hedgy" from Penny Black, but adapted it slightly.  The stamp has the hedgehog carrying presents, but I choose not to stamp them out and instead make it look as though the little hedgehog was holding a heart shaped balloon.

All Wrapped Up

Hello

Hope everyone is keeping well.  The rain has unfortunately made a re-appearance here in the last few days along with thunder and lightening!!

Tonight I have another Christmas card to share with you.  The image is All Wrapped Up by LOTV. 

I have coloured the image using Copic pens with a touch of pencil.  Her hand muff has been glittered along with the ground by her feet.  The background paper is from Let it Snow by Dovecraft.

A memory box die (Biance Snowflake) has been used for the snowflake embellishment.  The ribbon, lace and rhinestones are from my craft box.    

 
I've also decorated the inside of the card to match the front.

Apologies for the rubbish photos - still trying to perfect the art of taking good photos. 

I would like to enter the following challenges

Winter Wonderland : Ribbon and Lace
ABC Christmas Challenge : O for Open It Up
Lili's Little Fairies : Christmas in July

Have a good week.







Building a Snowman

Good evening

Mr Sunshine appears to have disappeared again, hopefully not for too long!  I hope we get some decent weather for the Olympics.  Husband and son are off to St James' Park tomorrow to watch two Olympic football matches - I hope it doesn't rain. 

Today's card is another Christmas Card and features the cute image "Build a Snowman" by LOTV. 

I've coloured the image with Copic pens with a touch of prisma pencil and added glitter to the fir trim on the coat, hat and boots as well as the edges (think I got a bit carried away with the glitter!!).   
The paper is "Little Mittens" from Nitwits Collection.  The die in the corner is called "Snowflake Corner" and is by Memory Box.  The ribbon, rhinestones and snowflake button are from my craft stash.  The sentiment is also from LOTV "Set 26 - Simply Sophisticated".

I would like to enter the following challenge:

Winter Wonderland - Pink, Purple, Aqua, Green

Hope the rest of the week is good for you.  Thank you for visiting and for the lovely comments you leave - I really do appreciate them.
