Hey, how's it going?

Another Wednesday means another collection of crafty creations from the Girlfriends over at Little Red Wagon.......


and this week Joanne would like us to 'Bling It Up!

Now don't be shy - dive right into those wagons and dig out the glitz, the glimmer, the shimmer, the shine........well, you get the general idea!

I went with a good old fashioned hoard of rhinestones I've been keeping in my stash forever.  This challenge is the perfect opportunity to use up a whole load of them.

Here goes:


I can practically here the disco music blaring from this card - those were the days!...........(yep I'm a 70's girl!)

The image on here is a rubber stamp (gasp!) from Kraftin Kimmie, coloured with Copic's quite some time ago - I'd placed it in that sad forgotten 'waiting to proceed to a card' pile of images and.......well........forgot about it!


Not a lot more going on here for today so why not go dig out your own collection of bling.  If you're in need of a little inspirational dazzle, check out the projects from the rest of the Girlfriends over on the blog.

I'll be seeing you again on Friday.....I have a layout lined up and a sketch too!

See you then,

Hi there, remember Me? The absent blogger! Another busy week and a serious question.....can someone tell me where the days go, really, cause every time I blink, it seems another week has flown by.

Well, Sunday has certainly rolled around again, so that means a new challenge over at OSAAT, and our theme this week has been chosen by the lovely Deborah............'Glitter and Gems'. One lucky winner will receive 5 digi's of their choice from.........

So, what are we waiting for..........this week I got to colour up another cute little lady, from one of my favourite creator's, Kelley's Kids, which you can find at the Stitchy Bear Stamps Store. Introducing 'Bebe'.........

On with the deets. Bebe is coloured with Copic's and papers are from the Paisley Road line from Prima, as is the flower. I used a Fiskar's border punch and ribbon and bling, I believe are from Michael's. The 'Party' ticket sentiment is a freebie I picked up quite a while ago from Wendymade & all things crafty. Lastly, my LO inspiration came from a sketch, this week from Card Patterns..........

So there you have it. Go check out the lovely creations the rest of the DT came up with over at OSAAT, and why not join in the challenge whilst you're there?

Take it easy and enjoy the rest of your day. I'm looking forward to going to bed an hour earlier tonight, after having one ungraciously taken from me this morning!

See ya later

...........so it's Sunday, and that means a new challenge over at the One Stitch At A Time challenge blog. The awesome sponsor this week is.......wait for it........

.........Sew Many Cards, who create some very cute digi's.......my kids love em! This challenge also means my first card creation in my role as a DT member. The theme is the '3 B's'.........Blooms, Butterflies and Bling, and as we have such a great sponsor this week, I used one of their images. Here is Oliver...........

I coloured solely with Prisma's and Gamsol, and the script DP is from Jillibean Soup, with a small glimpse of Bo Bunny's Double Dot card stock. I used a handmade paper behind, to create that soft, fuzzy look, and the butterflies are stamped then cut out, and have a little touch of Stickles on there.

If you'd like to check out the other DT creations, or join in the challenge.....there are goodies up for grabs....... then hop on over and take a look.

Have a great weekend.

Red, white and black..........I love this combination of colours on a card, so when I saw the Bellarific Friday challenge this week, to add 'bling' to your project, I knew instantly that this is what I'd use. Introducing 'Billboardabella'.............


I love this stamp (which you can find over at Stamping Bella obviously) as it comes with 6 different sentiments and is therefore pretty versatile.

I coloured with Prisma pencils and Gamsol, sponged 'chalk ink' around the image as per usual, and added red ultra fine glitter to the heart and billboard, which I'd stamped separately, then 'popped' from the card - those ancient decoupage scissors are coming in pretty handy! The red DP is from Martha Stewart and the 'newsprint' DP, which is one of my favouritest papers evah (!!!!!), is from 7 gypsies. The added extra bling comes via the rhinestones and beaded flower, from my stash, and a little 'faux' stitching rounds it off.

Yep........I'm lovin' it!
