Super quick from me today as I'm actually at work! Just nipping on to share my card for day three of the Sassy Studio Designs anniversary relay.....

AFA, ASFS and a BIG Growl at Blogger!

Howdy peeps! Well, I made it through the weekend. A fab time was had by all and there was much silliness and giggling - just what you want from a hen night really! Totally cream crackered though so feel I may have to have an early night tonight ☺. I've updated my profile pic with one of the photos of me from the night but, for your entertainment, will try and get another more amusing one on here later in the week.

Now. On to my grumble..... I'm really piddled off with Blogger! Because I've been a bit busy lately, I've scheduled quite a few posts. Every time, I've change the date and time, clicked the publish button and then double checked that it has 'scheduled' next to the post in the 'edit posts' section. The only problem is, Blogger keeps taking it upon itself to change the scheduled post back to draft form and subsequently doesn't bother posting it! GGRRR! Is anyone else having this problem? It's so intermittent, it's driving me crazy!

Because of this, my Anyone for Anya DT card has not posted this week! In addition, whilst trying to sort this out, I realised my GDT card for A Spoon Full of Sugar last Tuesday didn't post either! I'm so annoyed! Huge apologies teamies, so sorry my cards haven't been where they should have been when they should have been. 

So, better late than never, here they are..........!

Anyone For Anya?
This week at AFA we are sponsored by one of my favourite ladies - Tracy at Dies to Die For - and we want you to create something Egg-stra Special! You could make an Easter card or just incorporate ovals in your design. All we ask is that you use your Greeting Farm stamps. 

I was a little bit stumped with this one and so got my thinking cap on! I ended up altering one of the new TGF digi images and adding some Easter eggs. Please don't look too closely at those eggs, there are some very funny shapes in there!

Goodie List........
Digi Stamps: Freaky Flutter by The Greeting Farm
Paper: Pink Petticoat.
Copic Markers: E00, E11, E43, E47, E49, E50, R20, R22, R81, R83, R85, Y17, Y21, YG03, YG63, YG67, B91, B93, B95, B97.
Tools & Embellishments: EK Success border punch, ribbon from stash.


A Spoon Full of Sugar
This week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar, Whimsy are sponsoring the challenge. The lovely Debbie asked all of the Whimsy DT whether we would like to be guest designers and of course, we all jumped at the chance to get involved! The challenge was to make a Easter card and once again, those freestyle Easter eggs made an appearance! This time, I masked off the pear that Peartunia was holding and instead drew in an Easter egg {badly}....! I also designed a little bit of Word Art to finish off the card.



Goodie List........
Digi Stamps: Pretty Peartunia by Whimsy.
Paper: Bloom & Grow - Zoe Pearn.
Copic Markers: E00, E11, E43, E47, E49, E50, R20, R22, R81, R83, R85, Y17, Y21, BG15, BG34, BG49.
Tools & Embellishments: Word Art and ribbon from stash. 

So there we go. Sorry everything is so late - I am totally going to blame my tools on this occasion! Stupid technology! ~♥~

Copic Colour Challenge 56

Well, it's Wednesday. You know what that means! Copic Colour Challenge day! I was a happy bunny when this weeks colours popped up - thanks Karen! Karen chose BV02, G02 and B32 - such a pretty combo. This combo also gave me a very good excuse to purchase last year's Pink Petticoat spring papers that I've wanted for ages!

This card went a bit wrong to start with but luckily I was able to rescue it. I tried using chalk to give a funky background to the image but.... it just looked rubbish! So I reprinted my image, recoloured it and bunged it over the top! As good as new, don't you think?!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Girl Singer by InStyle.
Sentiment: Whimsy.
Paper: Spring Wishes by Pink Petticoat.
Copic Markers: BV00, BV02, BV04, G00, G02, G05, B32, W1, W3, W5, W7, YR23, Y21, E00, E11, E50, R20, R22.
Tools & Embellishments: Nestabilities, ribbon and button from stash, EK Success border punch.

Sorry I've been a bit quiet lately. I'm up to my eyeballs at work and have masses to do at home as well. I'm away all weekend on a hen so I'm feeling altogether frazzled! Thanks for stopping by though, I so love reading your lovely comments ☺

Copic Colour Challenge 53

Hello peeps. It's going to be a super quick one from me tonight I'm afraid as I've had a day full of meetings and I am utterly cream crackered. I just want to share with you the card I made for this weeks Copic Colour Challenge. We're sponsored by Stretch n Bubbles and the DT got to play with some of their images. This little birdie was perfect for this weeks colours - YG03, C7 and Y17.

I'm currently making a bag for my friends birthday present so I added a bit of stitching to this card whilst my little Janome was out. Still love the effect it gives. Because of the stitching, I can also add this card into this weeks challenge over at Stamp with Fun.

Goodie List........
Stamps: Stretch n Bubbles.
Paper: Pink Petticoat free kit.
Copic Markers: YG03, YG63, YG67, Y15, Y17, Y21, C3, C5, C7.

OK, thats all from me today. I'll be hopping in to my lovely bed soon! Oh well, only 1 more day at work until I have 3 days off! Woo-hoo!

Be My Valentine....

I finally made an easel card! I've been threatening to do this for months and eventually got round to it on Saturday morning when I made Ali's Valentines card! Completely love the effect and can't believe how easy it is.... expect to see more of these on a blog near you very shortly!


I pulled out my favorite papers from Pink Petticoat and am so pleased with how it turned out. I think it is nice and lovey-dovey whilst still being a little bit masculine. Well, Ali liked it anyway!



This card is also eligible for a few challenges..........



Cute Card Thursday - In the Name of Love.
Creative Card Crew - Valentines. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I think I am slowly getting myself organised and am gradually making my way around all your lovely blogs to leave some nice comments! I'll get there in the end, I promise!

Anyone for Anya? Hearts for Hearts Sake

Apologies for the lateness of this post. I'm afraid I have a very new and all consuming obsession...... It all started on Thursday afternoon at work when I had to invigilate an exam for one of my students. Facing 2 hours of utter boredom, I nipped across to the bookshop on campus to pick up something to entertain me. It was then that it happened..... I bought Twilight. Oh. My. Lordy. I know I am years behind everyone else in saying this but I LOVE it! And maybe a certain foxy vampire....! So, since then (except when I was forced to go to work!), I have had my head permanently stuck in a book. Since Thursday, I've read Twilight, Edward's version of Twilight, and also New Moon. I will be starting book 3.... in a minute!

Anyway, if I can focus on this post long enough, I want to share with you my DT card for this week's Anyone for Anya? challenge. The theme is "Hearts for Hearts Sake" - so we want to you create something with as many hearts as possible!



I think I fullfilled the brief on this one as both the image and every sheet of paper that I have used includes hearts somewhere!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Miss Anya Love - available from Dies to Die For.
Paper: Pink Petticoat.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.
Tools & Embellishments: Nesties and EK Success Punch.

Make sure you nip back later today - we have a fun Whimsy snowball fight lined up for you! Now, where did I put that book......

Anyone for Anya?! That's Charming....

Crikey, it's flipping freezing here. I am currently wearing a t-shirt, a hoody, a great big outdoors fleece, thick trackie bottoms, slipper socks, fleece slippers, furry knee high boots and a pair of gloves! Yes, I do look silly but I'm so cold, I will try anything! Fingers crossed the big thaw comes soon, I'm getting fed up with this! :o)

Anyway, enough of my whining.... it's Anyone for Anya? time! This week the theme is "That's Charming". Yep, thats right, easy peasy. Just use charms on your card. EVERYONE should be able to join in with this one, right?! Especially as we are sponsored by the ever-so-fabulous Karen's Doodles.


It might be a super simple design, but I really enjoyed making this card! Especially the colouring, LOVED doing the colouring with my beloved Copic markers. That may have been helped by the fact that I have switched cardstock again, thanks to a tip off from my lovely craft chum Marcea. She mentionned the other week that she uses the coated card from Rymans for all of her Copic colouring. Well, imagine how happy I was when I popped into Rymans to discover said card was half price! Yep, £2.99 for 50 A4 silky smooth sheets! Bargainous and totally fab. Thanks for the tip off Marcea!

I am also going to enter this card in to this weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge as the theme is to use 'Hearts' in your design. As I have used a heart charm and have hearts in my paper, I think I qualify to enter!

Goodie List........
Digi Stamp: Dressy Ebony from The Greeting Farm.
Digi Paper: 'Just an Old Fashioned Girl' by Pink Petticoat.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.
Tools & Embellishments: Nestabilities, ribbon, chain and charm from stash.

That's it from me, I'm going to skidadle and continue crafting up a storm. Going to try my hardest to get a few week ahead on my DT cards.Yeah, well, I did say try.....! I'm also trying to get better acquainted with Google Reader in an attempt to stay more up to date with all of your wonderful blogs. It's only day 2 of this plan but going well so far! ;oP

Take care and wrap up warm my lovelies!

Copic Colour Challenge 45

Well hello my friends! Crikey, 2 weeks without a post?! That must be a first for me I think!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that Santa bought you all lots of craft related goodies! I did rather well really as, amongst other things, Ali bought me some more Copics (wahoo!) and the last bit of the Copic airbrush system I needed (long story, don't ask....!). AND, my wonderful parents bought me a Janome Sew Mini! I absolutely adore that little blighter, even if it did break on me this morning! Mind you, I think it was more user error than machine error....! Due to that little breakdown, don't look too closely at the stitching on my DT card for this weeks Copic Colour Challenge as it is pretty clear to see where the machine decided it hated me!


This is actually my Dad's birthday card and, whilst I am pleased with the zigzag stitching, I actually really dislike this card! Oh well, not bad seeing as it is my first card in a couple of weeks I suppose!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Elzybells.
Paper: Pink Petticoat.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.
Tools & Embellishments: Machine stitching and adhesive gems.

So, thats it from me! I have a load of Christmas cards I haven't yet shared with you so I will hopefully be uploading them over the next couple of days.

Thanks for stopping by!







P.S. Does anyone else have the Janome Sew Mini? Do you have any tips or tricks? If so, I'd love to hear them! Also, I quite fancy getting a zipper foot (can see a mild bag making obsession looming!) - does anyone know if I can attach one of these to my mini machine or is that just for the big boys? ~♥~

Copic Colour Challenge 39

Sorry I'm a little late in posting this weeks Copic Colour Challenge card. I couldn't get my act together this morning to schedule it and unfortunately, I was actually working at work today! Work is such a pain, don't you think?! Ah well, at least it keeps stash on the table ;o)

The colour combo this week is rather a bold one - G05, R29 and Y08. Unfortunately, I had a little bit of trouble with it so I was pretty pleased when I was able to knock something together that I wasn't totally appalled by!



I couldn't find any ribbon in my stash to match my card so I got colouring some plain white satin ribbon with my Copic markers. Works a treat but it doesn't half make the ribbon go crunchy! Also attempted a bit of sponging around the image and tried to use the Flowersoft again.... with varying success!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Nora by CC Designs, in stock at Dies to Die For.
Paper: 'Fairy Lights' by Pink Petticoat.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.
Tools & Embellishments: MS BP Punched strip (thanks Sheila!), ribbon and button from stash.

Anyway, I'm off to do a spot of crafting now as the laptop is playing havoc with the internet connection and Ali is struggling to play his new Call of Duty game online!

Anyone for Anya? Patriotic Anya!

I just lurve this weeks theme at Anyone for Anya...... we are challenging you to make a patriotic card using the colours of your nation! Cool huh?!

We are also sponsored by Hobbystempels.nl who have been extremely generous and have offered up a Miss Anya Dressy set to one lucky winner! So what are you waiting for? Get cracking with the {no doubt} Red, White and Blue!



 So here is my offering. Pretty pleased with how it turned out actually. I suppose it helps that I am totally in love with this new Pink Petticoat 'Fairy Light' kit! It's is just so gorgeous, that I have decided that I am going to make all of my 'bulk' christmas cards from it this year! Now.... the eagle-eyed among you will notice that I have included some snowflakes on my card. IRL, these are extremely sparkly. But, from the photo......? Not so much! As I would like to enter this card in to this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge where the theme is 'Glitter and Sparkle', I thought that I had better prove that there really is some glitter and sparkle on my card! So, for those interested, please click on the close up below where you should see a tiny bit of sparkle!

A Few Little Projects....

Hey folks! It's the weekend, woo-hoo! It's been another manic one for me unfortunately, and I was forced to work at home today so that people couldn't hound me! Gawd knows what I will go back to on Monday though....

This week I got to make a card for a really nice occasion. It's a card for my friend to celebrate the birth of her 2nd gorgeous baby - Matthew. I struggled to find an image amongst my stash that was suitable so I went on the search of a digi image which would be appropriate. I was dead chuffed when I discovered this little beauty!

I had to doctor the Pink Petticoat papers a bit to make them match though..... They were originally in a pale pink and I wanted Sweetcorn and Envy. I worked out the RGB codes from some other PP sets I have and then altered the background colour of the original heart ones using these numbers. Voila! Funky, coordinated papers!

Goodie List........
Digi Stamps: 'Elephant Walk' from Cuddly Buddly.
Paper: Pink Petticoat Christmas Freebie set.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Copic markers and Copic Spica Pen.
Embellishments: Craftwork Cards 'Card Candy'.

This week, I've also been getting frustrated with my Copic Storage. They were in a huge pencil case and it was taking me ages to find the right colours. So, I took and idea on Kim's blog and expanded it a little using one of Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates.

I made two of the desk tidies and stuck them back to back as I knew that one wouldn't be enough for my ever expanding collection of Copics! I covered each panel with some giraffe print paper that Ali bought me as a little gift a couple of months ago.
I also made up a little grid thing from slotted together pieces of card. I made sure that each of the sections that were created were the perfect size for one Copic to stand up in. I'm really please that because they stand neatly and tidily, I can arrange them by colour family and by number. However, according to Ali, this makes me incredibly anal!
Hope you have a great weekend, despite this miserable weather!
P.S. Just realised that I can use both of these little project for this weeks Papertake challenge - Animal Antics - and also my Copic tidy for this weeks ABC Challenge 'Not a Card'! Woo-hoo for me! ~♥~

Friday Sketchers #40

Well, think the mojo is slowly coming back. I managed this card (plus another I'll show you tomorrow/Wednesday) yesterday and it wasn't too much of a painful experience!

The good news is that I am off work 1/2 of Wednesday and then all day Thursday and Friday (and Saturday and Sunday of course!) so that means I've got lots of crafting time coming up! I'm especially looking forward to Thursday as I'm heading down to Sam's to pick up my SU order (can't wait!) AND I also realised that it is craft day on QVC! Guess where you are going to find me.....!

Anyway, onto my card..... I've recently been going through all of my digital paper packs and trying to catalogue them so that I know what I have. Yes, I know that is mega sad but there are some gems in there that I've totally forgotten about! Just like the set I used on this card to make my entry to this week's Friday Sketchers challenge.


I am pretty pleased with this card as I got to use more new stuff. Not just new new stuff but old new stuff too. You know, the stuff you buy but never get round to using? It's also a bit of a first as it is my first ever truly successful doodling attempt! I've totally got it sussed.... you just hold the pen higher up so that you don't have as much control and can't push as hard! Genius huh?!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Cupcake digi images by Sally-Ann Hancock, Pink Petticoat sentiment.
Paper: Free digi paper download from here.
Ink & Colour: Promarkers (didn't have the right Copic colours!).
Embellishments: Dew Drops, Corner squiggle from DaFont applied using Safmat.
Have a good week peeps and thank you for all the "You haven't lost your mojo!" comments - you are all the bestest bloggy friends ever! ~x~

Pink Cat Studio Contest - Lily the Fairy

Hey everybody! Apologies for the delay in posting recently, it's exam time at work so I've been a bit up against it. I've still been crafting in the evenings but I've just been really bad at getting things online!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago for the Pink Cat Studio 'Lily the Fairy' contest. You'll be pleased to hear that whilst I am late in sharing it with you, I did manage to enter it on time!

For this card, I used up some Pink Petticoat scraps that I had kicking around from a series of cards I made a few weeks ago. I love these Pretty Doodle papers! I used the positive and negative versions and layered them up with a solid darker pink paper. I'd love to tell you the exact shades, but I cannot for the life of me remember. Could be Sassy..... maybe Orchid.....! I coloured the gorgeous Lily image with ProMarkers and Copics and highlighted her wings with a clear Sakura Stardust pen and a waterbrush.

Although this is a pretty basic layout, I really like the card because it is so bold and colourful!

Only 1 more day to go 'til the weekend! Woo-hoo! Can't wait as I am meeting up with my Mum and we are going to be 'Ladies Wot Lunch'!

Am I a Scrap Addict #10

Hi everyone, just a quick post tonight as I'm away this weekend and still have lots to prepare! Had to drop a quick post tonight though as it is 'Am I a Scrap Addict?' time again! This week, Deanne gave us a tricky sketch but I have to admit, I had a great time with it!

Following the sketch, I added Doodlebug DP onto a blank covered with chocolate coloured card. There was a lot of measuring and slicing involved, let me tell you! On to this crazy backdrop, I added a Nestie circle and a cutie patootie CC Designs bear. I love him! I coloured 'Bear' with ProMarkers and highlighted with white gel pen. Hot pink organza was wrapped round the card and a MFT sentiment added, complete with a faux stitch/doodle border.

Have a great weekend folks!

Mojo Monday #68

Blimey, didn't that weekend go in a flash?! I've had a good one though with lots of crafting and even dinner out last night. If only I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow....!

Whilst I am cutting it a little bit fine, one of the cards I made today was for the Mojo Monday #68 sketch. It is also for an order so I am really pleased to say that it is one of my favourite cards that I have ever made! No idea why..... I just love it!

For this card, I made full use of the gorgeous Pink Petticoat 'Pretty Doodle' papers. OMG, I adore these babies! I layered up the Orchid and Pink papers according to the sketch and added a MFT sentiment. The image is from The Greetings Farm (another of my latest obsessions!) and is coloured with a mixture of Copics and ProMarkers. I added the finishing touches with adhesive gems and some sparkly organza ribbon.

Hope you like it as much as I do!

On My First Christmas......

Hi everyone! So....are you all ready for Christmas?! I think I am nearly finished with all of the preparations now. All presents bought, family visited, food order placed, tree bought and decorated. All that's left is to wrap the presents and write my cards. Phew! For some reason, this years prep seemed 1000% more hectic that usual - I barely feel I've spent anytime at home the last couple of weeks! Anyone else feel like that or is it just me being a drama queen?!

I have managed to make a few things though. I made some gorgeous little gift bags and also some nice pieces of jewellery to give to friends and family for Christmas. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures..... Silly Stacey!

However, I did manage to snap a few pics of these cards which I was asked to make by the daughter of one of my colleages. She wanted cards for her little baby boy to give to his grandparents for Christmas. For both of the cards, I adapted one of the Pink Petticoat 'Sweet Cheeks' images simply by adding 'on my' in Paint Shop Pro.

I layered up some plain New Leaf Pink Petticoat paper onto a square card blank and matted onto this some Olive 'O Christmas Tree' paper. I coloured some white ribbon with Promarkers so that it coordinated and wrapped this around the card. The main image was altered slight in Paint Shop Pro and then coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Sansodor. I highlighted with Stickles, mounted onto a Nestie rectangle and added the panel to the card with 3D pads. I finished the card with adhesive gems in each of the corners.

This second card is {secretly!} my favourite! I matted Duck Egg Blue solid paper onto a card blank and then followed this with smaller coordinating layers of 'O Christmas Tree' papers in Merry Christmas and Snowflake designs. I tied white satin ribbon around the central panel and added my Sweet Cheeks image to the card using 3D foam pads. Once again, the finished card was embellished with adhesive gems.
I'm planning to do a little bit of blog hopping today as it is dead at work {naughty I know!}, so don't be surprised if you all get inundated with lots of comments from me as I try my bestest to catch up on all of the beautiful projects you have made over the last couple of weeks!

My First DT Card!

Blimey, what a scary experience?! I've made my first ever Am I a Scrap Addict? DT sketch card! I initially started panicking a bit, worrying that my cards will look rubbish next to everyone elses but in the end, managed to get a grip! The sketch was a real tricky one too so I am so pleased that this attempt turned out as well as it did.


I found a flower outline online and traced this on to my folded card blank. I then covered it with yellow Bazzill Bling card stock (can't remember the actual name - sorry!). I cut a large circle from black Bling and then another, smaller circle in the centre of that. This then formed the flap/window on the front of my card. I coloured a Pink Petticoat bee with Prismacolors and Sansodor and mounted this behind the black window, adding Stickles for a little sparkle. I added a sentiment printed from the PC and decorated the finished card with a homemade flower embellishment and lots of adhesive gems.

I think I took the sketch rather more literally than I was supposed to (!) but this was the first idea to jump into my mind when I saw the sketch so I decided just to go for it!

Simple things please simple minds......!

I've become a little addicted to the Splitcoast Stampers website recently and have spent literally hours going through all of the beautiful creations in the gallery. Despite my love of fairly bold and loud cards, I've been really drawn to the really simple cards that I have seen in the SCS gallery. So, I decided to give it a go myself......


I've made this card for the daughter of a friend at work. She has been through a hell of a lot in the last couple of years but despite all this, is due to graduate from uni this summer AND has just bagged herself a super-dooper graduate job. As we've kind of been through all of the trials and tribulations with her, I thought it would be nice to give her a congratulations card from our office.

For this card, I used Pink Petticoat random dots paper in 'Olive'. After somehow convincing myself that I had a martini glass stamp, I realised I definately didn't after 30 minutes of searching! So, I downloaded a clipart image which I then colour matched to the PP paper. I teamed this with a computer generated sentiment and some Poppicrafts ribbon.

I have to say, I really enjoyed working in this 'simple' style. What was especially nice was that it was super quick to make - great for a last minute make. I fear you may be seeing more of these....!

Stamp Something Challenge #7

Crikey, I think I've gone for chocolate overkill on this one..... Too chocolately?! Hmm.... the jury is still out I'm afraid!

So, this is my entry for challenge 7 on the Stamp Something blog. The papers are chocolate, dark chocolate and mocha Pink Petticoat downloads and the gingham ribbon is from my stash. The stamp is a Changito that I received from Sheila in our recent SBS16 image swap - thanks Sheila! I've coloured the image with watercolour pencil and highlighted the centre of the flowers with Frosted Lace Stickles.

Friday Sketchers Week #7 & Caardvarks 'Think Pink'

After an incredibly busy week at work, I've been having such a great weekend! I've done nothing except craft and play! If only life was always so free and easy eh?!

This the first card that I made this weekend and it is a combination of 2 challenges - week 7 of the Friday Sketchers challenge and Caardvarks 'Think Pink'.


After making my card organiser last week, I've been left with lots of off-cuts of polka-dot paper. So, thought I'd be good and start using them up! I've had this Parisabella for quite a while but this is the first card I have actually made with her. She's so cute, I feel terrible for neglecting her for so long now! Bella is coloured with Whisper pens and the card is finished with ribbon and some Prima flowers. Oops, just realised I've gone a bit 'P' crazy - Pink Petticoat, Parisabella, Poppicrafts, Prima and Polka-dots, not to mention that the whole thing is Pink!

Hope you like her!
