Add Some Sparkle Or Bling!

Another challenge at our lovely Winter Wonderland blog,

starts today.

We have an easy theme again, which is

Add Sparkle / and or Bling.

Please remember that it is only Christmas cards that will

make it into the prize draw.

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Crafty Sentiments

and their very generous prize for the winner is

3 Digis of the winners choice.

I have chosen to use their 

Snowman with Candy Cane and Holly.

So now its up to you to join in the fun and you never know,

it could be you who wins the 3 gorgeous Digis.

The other benefit is, that you get ahead with

your Christmas card stash.

I have a folder nearly full already!!

I will be announcing the winner and top 3 

of the last challenge, Cute Christmas, on Monday,

on the Winter Wonderland blog.

So pop back to see if you have won.

Thanks for popping in and thank you for 

your lovely messages you leave me.

Fairy Magic and All Dressed Up!

I love this fairy image from All Dressed Up and would 

you believe that they even have free images!

It's one of those projects that look 200% better in real life.

I recycled a frame with Gesso, pink emulsion paint 

and white Acrylic paint. Finished off with Treasure Gold Gilding Wax.

I used my favourite Distress Inks to colour her with.

It's very strange for me, as I think she is adorable. Yet

when the Magnolia stamps came out, I disliked them

straight away and still do.

I can't even leave a message on someones blog if they

have used them. I did once but did not mention the image!!

Fortunately we all have different tastes. 

Thanks for popping into my blog and hope you like my picture.

Thank you in advance, for leaving me a lovely message

that I do so enjoy reading.

I am going to put her in the 

All Dressed Up challenge.

Big hugs,

Carol

Hoppy Easter Bunnies.

Hoppy Easter!!

These are the cards I made for our grand children, well 2 of them.

They have been put in the post and I forgot to take a photo

of the 3rd one!

This one is using the Lili of the Valley stamp I have had for a 

couple of years and never used!

Why not?......Who knows!

                                          

He is so cute and so easy to colour with Distress Inks.

 For this card I used a set of stamps that were free with
a magazine and I can't remember which one.
I can tell you that they are called :
Woodland Hugs, Stamp Collection
by Samantha Chaffey.

This is just one of the adorable stamps and there are 5 big

stamps and one sentiment.

A mixture of Bunnies and Bears.

Off out now to make the most of this glorious weather.

We will probably end the day at the beach for a long walk.

Thanks for popping in and hope it was worth it!!

I love so much to read your messages.

I must also put a big thanks out to all of the 20 people

that left me a message on the blog hop.

Chris, the Artist was so happy with the feedback 

she had for her beautiful Fairy Stamps.

Well deserved I say!!

See ya all soon,

hugs

Carol
