Sassy Anniversary Relay - Day Three!

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.....

I'm not really a purple person but somehow got it in to my head that this card had to be purple! My image and my papers clash a little bit but on the whole, I'm pleased with how it turned out!

Sassy Anniversary Relay

***** SCROLL DOWN FOR THIS WEEKS ANYONE FOR ANYA? DT CARD! *****

Now, some of you may know that I absolutely love Sassy Studio Designs. Not only are they are perfectly drawn, they kinda fit perfectly into my age range which means that they are perfect for birthday cards for my friends! So yeah.. I just think they are altogether perfect really! So, imagine my joy when I read that Sassy Studio were having a relay event! They basically give you the first fantastic image free, then if you make a card with it within the time limit, they give you another image free.... and so on! Well, the first freebie image is one of my absolute faves and one I actually already own - Sassy Cassie.

A complete and utter Stacey card huh?! One day I promise that I will use something other than my pink and turquoise Copics....!

Anyone for Anya - Dawny P Sketch Time!

Crikey, it's been a long time since you heard from me, hasn't it? I really felt like I needed to take a bit of a break from crafting as it was starting to feel like a total chore. It was almost as if I was basically on a card making production line, just churning out stuff because I had to, rather than because I wanted to. As this is my hobby rather than my job, this was really bad news! So, I took a little break and also made the huge decision with the rest of the DT to close the Copic Colour Challenge blog. If you've ever run a challenge blog before, you'll know that it truly is a surprisingly huge committment. Well, it is when you also work full time anyway! Therefore, with a teary goodbye, the CCC blog is no more.... 

However, after my little break, I tentatively pulled out my Copics yesterday and started colouring an image and remembered why I started this hobby - I love it! So I got inky and gluey and made this creation for today's Anyone for Anya challenge.....!

OK, it's not my most favourite card ever but it is actually a card which I did enjoy making! The first time this has happened in a couple of months, I can tell you. I followed this weeks Dawny P sketch as well, which always makes me happy!

The gorgeous MME papers are from the wonderful Tracy over at Dies to Die For. You can find these little beauties HERE. As for your Copics, those are right about..... HERE! You can see the colours I used below.

Whimsy Release Party

Hi there! You have just arrived at the final stop on the Whimsy release party! If you hopped here from SIMONNE'S blog, keep reading. However, if you've just stumbled across my little space on the www, please toddle back to CRISSY'S blog at the very start :o)

Today the Whimsy DT are celebrating a brand new carousel horse release. Crissy Armstrong has worked her magic again and has produced two absolutely stunning designs - Proud to Be and Party Pony. Each stamp comes with a couple of sentiments and other little accessory stamps, making each stamp great value for money. I couldn't resist 'Proud to Be' and so this is the one that I have decided to showcase during this hop...

The thing I love about these horses is that you can colour them any way you want! You can either go true to life and make them resemble proper ponies. Or, you can go jazzy.... just like I did! I kind of went slightly patriotic but knew just how I wanted to colour him as soon as I saw him :o)

Goodie List........ 
Stamps: 'Proud to Be', avaiable HERE at Whimsy Stamps.
Paper: 'Cupcake' by Basic Grey.

Copic Markers: E29, E33, E35, E37, E50, E51, E53, R27, R29, YG03, YG63, YG67, B32, B39, B45, Y15, Y17 - available HERE from Dies to Die For.

Tools & Embellishments: Adhesive pearls from stash.

Now, do you want to hear the really good news? I've got one of the new sets to give away! All you need to do is leave a link below and I will draw a winner on the night of Friday 21st May.

Thanks for stopping by today and for your love of all things Whimsy!

Anyone for Anya? - Don't be Square

Howdy folks. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Shame we have to go back to work tomorrow, isn't it?! However, why not spend your last day of freedom creating a card for this weeks challenge over at Anyone for Anya? The challenge is not to be square. So, chuck those 6x6 blanks off your crafting table and get creative! We are making it worth your while too as we are sponsored by my fave store (OK, I might be a little biased)... Dies to Die For!

This little card was made as a get well for one of the bestest bloggy friends who has been a bit unwell recently. She said it put a big smile on her face when she received it, so I guess it had the desired effect!
