Sweet Stampin' - Use Kraft

Hello

It's Team Fi's turn over at Sweet Stampin' and we want you to Use Kraft.

Remember to use a stamp if you want to qualify for the prize from our sponsor

Cuddly Buddly.

Plus our monthly sponsor The Ribbon Girl.

I stamped Sugar Nellies - Story Teller onto Kraft card and tried my hand at colouring with coloured pencils.

It's far from perfect but for a first try I'm happy.

I inked the edges, mounted it over some ribbon from stash and stamped a LOTV sentiment.

I'd like to enter it at

And another one.

After posting my monchrome card last night I decided to tidy my table and in the process noticed that an image I'd coloured went with the papers I'd used on Saturdays Sweet Stampin' card.

The table didn't get tidied!

Mostly I colour with a project and papers in mind but sometimes I just colour up some images with no thought to what I'll do with them, so she's been sitting on my table waiting for me to find something to do with her. I used the paper scraps and Sketch Saturday sketch again and got this.

She is a Sugar Nellie stamp called Honey Pip.

I coloured her mostly with Promarker Spring 2012 limited edition colours.

I embellished with a couple of card candy.

I'd like to enter her at

Busy Bunny

Can anyone tell me why I have a small forest worth of Paper and Card yet I can't find any paper I like or if I do find it matching card can't be found!?!
I'm leaning more towards using Kraft card as it goes with most any colour and cuts out the frustration of matching colours.
Anyway despite these problems I've had a productive day. 3 cards put together - and another one underway.
2 just needed stuck together and sentiments decided on, the 3rd I had the image coloured so not as impressive as it initially sounds.


Today you get the joy of a little lady

The image is a Sugar Nellie - Honey Pip coloured with Promarkers

Paper is Bo Bunny.

Die is Nesties Floral Oval
Sentiment is from a magazine freebie, everything else from stash.

Blurgh!!

Not been feeling too great the last couple of days. Children and their germs!!!

We're heading down to York tomorrow to visit with my Dad and his partner for the holiday weekend so no time to make anything other than a card for my friends boy which I can't post yet cos she's a follower.
Here is one I made earlier tho

Not my best colouring, I'm finding that when I look back at older cards in my Box I'm often horrified at the colouring so I'm replacing a few images. She's not bad enough to merit that tho.

Sugar Nellie image is Jelly Pip, sentiment is LOTV and the rest from stash.

I'm entering her for The Sugar Bowl - Free for All
and Divas by Design -Anything Goes

How proud was I. Still get a tear in my eye just thinking about it.
On Sunday Emma had a riding lesson and Sam an away game at Greenock with his Rugby club, Cartha QPR. Daddy was to take photo's but managed to only get the back of his head!!

Today I've been...

Doing laundry. It never ends!!
Also feeling sorry for myself. I have a blocked parotic gland. Sounds serious but I probably have a stone stuck in a saliva duct. this means a very tender swollen face and an unhappy me while I wait for it to pass.
Made an Anniversary card for my lovely friend Susan but forgot to take a pic. I'll get her to post it.
With feeling blugh I cheated a bit and used a LOTV Love and Romance cute square and it turned out great for such a simple easy card.

I also made this for last weeks Thank You challenge on the LOTV Challenge blog but forgot to post it. Doing well aren't I?!

Stamp is Milly Cuddle Time coloured with Promarkers.
Papers are My Minds Eye Lime Twist.

If you like LOTV pop over and see the Sneak Peeks on the LOTV Ideas to Inpire Blog of the new release out next week. there is a chance to win some stamps too.

My next project is the Sugar Nellie challenges hope to post them soon
Have you all been on the Sugar Nellie Blog Hop? the new releases are devine.
