Teddy Bea and Teddy Bo for the twins....

Teddy Bea with Prima paper and pebble

doiley and a little doodling.

Feeling rubbish at the mo

but thought I'd share these

cards made recently

for special twins 2nd Birthday

(they were born at 22 weeks)

Teddy Bo with Create paper

Basic Grey Alphas

and a little doodling.

Both coloured with Promarkers

and Sakura highlights.

A few recent cards to share.....

Teddy Bo is so fabulous

I particularily like him here!

coming out, and they have rubber and papers too!)

Coloured with Pro-markers

and We R Memory Keepers dps.

How beautiful is this image

by The Stamping Boutique?

(just found out Tracey has a 35% off sale at the mo)

It really was a joy to colour,

and any little/big girl would adore this fab fairy.

This is one of my favourites

by Teri at Delicious Doodles.

I have used it quite a few times now.

It's ideal for all the boaty men

we have arounbd us here in Largs.

I just don't seem to have enough

blogging hours in the day to keep up with

my making.........so there may be

 a few posts like this!

Crafty Creations....Recycle, recycle, recycle......

Over at Crafty Creations

the most lovely Peggy has challenged us to

Recycle, recycle, recycle.....

So I started with an image I had coloured

for something else and not used

By the very talented Deena

(also happens to be a teamie at Crafty Creations).

Two old cards that I had made

for Hope at different occasions

and a box of bits left over from other cards.

I stuck my image over top of the front

of the Sugar Nellie card,

Removed one of the flowers with

fabric brads from the other card

and finnished with some punched leaves

and butterflies.

I love this image Deena created

for cancer awareness

Think Pink HOPE branch.

Please come join us at Crafty Creations

and you could win some lovely

images to play with by Deena.

Please also remember we have a DT call

on at the moment if you are interested !

Wedding card......Art nouveau rose heart

A Wedding card

made using my

Art Nouveau Rose Heart image

available at Stitchy Bear stamps

I paperpieced the image, building up layers

for added dimension and used

the same papers for the inside.

Inking to edges, sakura to doodle sentiment,

punched leaves and tiny fimo roses.

Christmas shopping done.

Just sharing a baby boy card

(can't remember by who at the mo  -

will check it out!)

Polkadoodles - time flies - A Magical world.....

Life sometimes just doesn't have that enough of that

added Magical element. At these times its very important

to daydream and should be compulsory I personally feel.

Not too much mind but in moderation daydreaming is a great thing!

Anyway this said my challenge at Polka doodles

this week is "A Magical world" -  Magic/Fantasy.

It's stashbox stamps week so I have used

the very lovely Leanne Ellis Time flies stamp

available from Sugar Nellie.

All other elements are Polka doodles.

Papers/sentiment from the new Pretty Sweey cd,

tree and window from A Double sprinkle of Kraft.

Tree is printed on Safmat by Letraset.

The stitching which co-ordinates with

the promarker colours used has been

achieved with a super fine nib

(I love these detachable nibs - brilliant)

Image paperpieced with additional clock

 from stamp cut out as embellishments.

All the team have done my challenge proud

and there are LOADS of projects

this week to feast your eyes upon

from lots of new team members!

Pop by Polka Doodles and have a wee look!

Pop over to SBDS and have a wee look about!

have used Safmat but I wan't to keep it

so all is well.......

I have coloured this time with Sakura.

Pop over to Polka Doodles
