Serious CANDY ALERT!!!!!!

Oh my gosh you know how much I love the amazing Amy Young

Well she has been very busy creating and has new stamps comming out in January at both All That Scraps and The Greetings Farm ! To celebrate she is having a massive week of candy so far there are all of these lots up for grabs so make sure you get over there as you have to be in it to win it and trust me you would be mad not to want to win a bit of this lot :D

Stampin' for the weekend - LAST CHALLENGE OF 2009!!!

Well as this is our last challenge of the year we thought we would let it run for 2 weeks and make it a real challenge. This week we want to see a calendar! It can just be one of the tiny one stuck on a picture or you can do a different page for every month it is up to you. And the prize is brilliant it is from The lovely Kay at toodles and binks and she has put together this video to show you what the prize will be.......



As it is the last challenge I thought I would go all out and do an image for every month. I made calendar in the style of an easel card (which I had never done before). I am also going to put this in a second entry to Passion for promarkers anything but a Christmas card challenge but I have used way too many promarkers to be able to list them all here as I have coloured every image with them and some I have added touches of sparkle with sakura stardust pens. All of the back grounds are from the various Bearly Mine designers extreme disks. They are so perfect as they have all the elements ready to go and are digital so I was able to just add the images and the text in photoshop then print cut and colour.

Ok sorry as this is going to be a long one you will find the link to get each of the images I have used under the picture.This is Fall Miss Anya digi from The Greetings Farm


When February comes round I can see for Valentines day I am going to be using this adorable couple of cats from Mo's Digital Pencil a lot!



This Easter Anya was just perfect for march and you can pick her up at The Greetings Farm



This cutie is from the Cherry Kisses range at Polly Craft I just love this range there is something for every occasion and they are so much fun to colour.


This beautiful fairy is also from The Greetings Farm Marie is just so amazing these beauties are so different from her Anya images but just as addictive :D


This sweet little duo has been penned by my fellow DT member DI I think she is so sweet and can see that I will be using her a lot :D If you have not had a look at Di's Digi Downloads get over there now and check them out you won't be disappointed.

I am sitting here on this cold winters days and this makes me think of summer and sitting out doodling or writing in the sun. I do love all of Mo's amazing images. If I was rich I would buy the everything she has made lol. You can pick this image and all her others at Mo's Digital Pencil

I have gone back to The Greetings Farm for August I just couldn't resist these fairies when I saw them and have been colouring loads of them and adding tons of sparkle to their wings ever since.


This thoughtful lady is again from the Cherry kisses range at Polly Craft


Yippee these gorgeous fairies are from the incredibly talented Amy Young
. I have added a load of sparkle to this stunner but you would not tell from this pic. Seriously if you have not seen any of Amy's drawings or cards you HAVE to check out her Blog
and she has been signed up by All That Scraps to sell her digi images and stamps. I just can't wait to see what she draws next.


I just love this image it works so well for so many different projects whether it is cards a calendar like this or scrap booking. It is from Polly Craft and this time it is from a range called enchanted noel

I can not wait to see what you all come up with and make sure that you check out all the other DT members for even more inspiration. Our GD's for this week have also done us very proud so make sure you do not miss their blogs they are Tanja and Sharon

Simon says stamp - Merry Christmas

This week at Simon says the challenge is a simple one "Merry Christmas" I have used this gorgeous house mouse image which I wish I could say I owned but I have had to make do with a stamped image from a friend. I have coloured it with twinkling H2O's so the whole thing sparkles and for even more Christmas sparkle I have added the strip of glitter which is double sided tape covered in fine glitter. The card candies as always are from craft work cards and peel offs are from my stash.

Yuletide wishes - My time to craft

This weeks challenge at My time to craft is Yuletide wishes well I have been playing with The adorable penguins from Angels landing again and this time gone for the more traditional red and greens and kept it very simple with some textured gold card stock and sentiments from paper cellar.

Digital Tuesday - A birthday something

This is a card I made for my friends baby boy who was 1 yesterday. It is perfect for this weeks digital Tuesday challenge which is a birthday something. I love this super sweet Mo image that you can get at Mo's Digital Pencil. I have coloured him with promarkers. The papers are all from the new digital kit from The Greetings Farm called "Ever glen". The sentiment I typed on the computer as the papers are digital ones I typed it on before I printed the papers. The gems are from my stash.

A bit of a catch up

Hiya anyone who is still reading this and thank you. I have got completely behind in blog land and am so sorry for not being on your blogs. I have been a bit ill and still been trying to work and then with Christmas on top I have just not had chance to get on here and keep up to date as I should.

I have even missed 2 of my DT challenges for Stampin' for the weekend! I had the things made and they went on the main blog but I just hadn't had chance to post here. So here we go the first card is for the other weeks challenge Red,green and gold. I have used this adorable choir image from Mo's Digital Pencil which I have coloured with pro markers and sakura stardust pens for that touch of sparkle. The sentiment is from dovecraft in one of the the little £1.50 sets what a bargain!



This second card is for this weeks challenge which is blue and brown. This time I have used these super cute angels from All That Scraps again they are digi stamps and I have coloured them with promarkers. The sentiment I made on the computer.

I have not even had that much time to make any cards lately but I had quite a few made before that I have missed the challenges now so will see if they fit in other challenges and no doubt be back with more posts later.

CLUB ANYA BLOG HOP and passion for promarkers

Ok this is going to be a mega quick post as I really have to go to bed and I am so so sorry for being such a terrible blogger lately but I have a big catch up post planned for tomorrow (when I finish work) I have just been totally sunk lately with orders, work, being ill and the whole Christmas thing.

Anyway this is some thing that I have made for the Club Anya blog hop, this weeks passion for promarkers (anything but a Christmas card) challenge and for a present for someone for Christmas though thankfully they do not look on here so I am safe lol.
It is a stationary set with 6 little thank you cards, envelopes and writing paper.
The papers that I have used are all from the new disk by the amazing Donna at Bearly Mine For the front and back I have used one of the gorgeous inserts and then added my text to the scrolls.

The super cute images are of course from The Greetings Farm , Elf Anya and Birthday Ian I love them and manged to get them both as digi's which has allowed me to play around with the size of them for all the different places I have used them. I also want to thank the incredible Tammy for this as it was her and her paper crafting that first introduced me to this template for this take along a tote and it is so versatile!

Thank you for stopping by my little blog and make sure if you have started here that you go to the CLUB ANYA BLOG to see the rest of the hop.

Promarkers used were burnt siena,vanilla,grass, berry red, cool grey 4, lemon and canary

Stampin' for the week end challenge and DT call

I know it is terrible I am very late again with this post but at least it means that I can also tell you that we have a DT call for Stampin' for the weekend and it is starting today so if you would like to join us which I hope you do make sure you get over there and enter.
For the challenge this week we have a colour combo of lilac and silver and we would like you to create a gift card and tag. I don't think that any of us on the DT (or this weeks GDT Lisa and Rosalien )did this challenge in the same way so make sure you check them all out for some great inspiration.



For my card and tag I have used these stunning new digi's from The Greetings Farm and coloured them with a mix of pro markers and sakura stardust pens for the extra sparkle. The stars are some table confetti that I got from WHsmith if I remember right some time ago. The sentiment and the ribbon on the card are from papermania and the paper on the tag is from the amazing Donna's Designers extreme vol III.
