Boy's birthday gift bag .....

There is a new 'anything goes' challenge over at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Challenge with a nice prize for the winner.  I hope you will find time to join us and if you pop over to the blog I'm sure you will be inspired.  The DT were tasked with creating a project with the theme of  Happy Birthday using an image of a boy/,ale or animal/bird, and it had to be anything but a card!  I came up with this decorated gift bag.

I used the black/white digi image Flying a Kite from Polkadoodles Winnie Special Moments Collection and the digital background papers are from the same collection.

I coloured the image with Copic markers and added doodling to my paper pieces, a faux hessian and saddlestitch bow topped with a red polka dot ribbon tied with hemp twine and then finished off the bag with a row of silver star trim

I hope you will find time to pop over to the challenge blog and be inspired by the wonderful things the design team have made.  I am looking forward to seeing what you make, happy crafting, and thanks for visiting my blog,

see you soon,

A gorgeous little westie on this birthday card ..

A birthday card for a friend using one of the LOTV digi download simply print images 'Spring Puppy'  which I resized, printed and added to a die-cut background.  I finished the card with a little bow made from blue satin, a die-cut paper flow with a s/a pearl in the centre, some punched leaves and a computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for looking, see you soon,

Looking forward to Summer .....

There is a new 'anything goes' challenge over at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Challenge with a nice prize for the winner.  I hope you will find time to join us and if you pop over to the blog I'm sure you will be inspired.  The DT were tasked with creating a project with the theme of 'Looking forward to Summer' and I thought this lovely digi stamp of Helga Hippo with her gorgeous summer hat would fit the bill perfectly. When I'd downloaded and printed out the image I coloured it with Copic markers.

I die cut the image and matted it onto various diecut shapes then added some summer flowers which I stamped and diecut from Polkadoodles digital paper from the Starfish/Sandcastles  collection and added a sparkly gem in the centres plus some diecut white leaves.

I hope you will find time to join us and you'll find plenty of inspiration on the DigiChoosday blog because all of the team have made gorgeous creations and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make

Thanks for visiting, and I'll see you soon

Bella has an Easter gift .....

There is a new 'anything goes' challenge over at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Challenge with a nice prize for the winner.  I hope you will find time to join us and if you pop over to the blog I'm sure you will be inspired.  The DT were tasked with creating a project with the theme of EASTER  with an ANIMAL/BIRD and the project had to include a TAG     I coloured the adorable Bella Bear with Copic markers and tried to match the colours with the green, peach and pink digi papers I downloaded from the Starfish/Sandcastles  collection.  I added a drop of Glossy Accents to her nose for a bit of shine and some extra freckles to her cheeks using a white gel pen

I die-cut a shape for the top of the egg box, then I punched some flowers and leaves from the scraps of papers, added some s/a gems, a pink ribbon to keep the egg box closed and some frilly pink trim.  When 4 Cadbury creme eggs are added to the box this will make a lovely gift for someone special. Some of the Copic pens I used: G05, YR21, RV14. E43, E00, E51, E000, R11, E59, C0

I hope you will find time to join us and you'll find plenty of inspiration on the DigiChoosday blog because all of the team have made gorgeous creations

Thanks for looking, see you soon,
