Little Bee Cuties

Good Afternoon Blogger Buddies.

First of all I would like to thank my new followers - it is a real honour and I appreciate you all, old and new. 

I have managed to get only one card done today and this has been achieved when my little baby sleeps. As soon as she is awake it all action stations. She has now realised she can get upstairs - perhaps this is her plan to get me fit!!! She has kennel cough at the moment and it sounds awful though the vet has assured me that they are quite able to deal with it and it should clear up on its own. They suggested I give her children's cough mixture or some honey added to warm water. I am trying the latter first. She is so precious. Never thought Russ and I would have a baby together!!!

I couldn't resist buying Little Bee Cuties and Issabelline papers from Pink Petticoat and here is the result. 


I have used Marvellous squares by Spellbinders and Fishtail dies by Die-Namics.


The Butterfly and heart dies are by Memory Box. The gems and the ribbon are from my own stash. 


I am entering this card into the following challenges.
The Pink Elephant - Anything goes
Avenue 613 - Anything goes
Card Mania - Butterflies or Fairies
Daisy Doodles - Anything goes
Stamps and fun - Heart
A Gem of a Challenge - ~Add a bow
Clearly istamp - Black/white& pop of colour
My Heart Pieces - Valentine. Must have a heart

My baby is asleep now so what to do. Card or blogging - either way I will be round today to do some commenting.
Enjoy the rest of your day

Bunches of Love

Morning friends.
Today see's the start of a new challenge over at Diva's by Design. The challenge is sponsored by Lili of the Valley and the theme is Fancy Folds. It would be lovely to see you take part in this challenge and there is plenty of inspiration over at Diva's. 

Before I show you my card I would like to say that for all you blogger friends who said that my new baby would mean that I wouldn't be able to craft as much were wrong. I have not been able to craft at all!!! My goodness, I am worn out after just four days. I have to say though she is so adorable and is bringing us so much happiness. She is such a good girl and  because we have bought her a cage to sleep in at night, she has slept all the way through. She is such a clever girl. Ooops, just had a mishap on the floor. Good job its a wooden floor. 


I have used the adorable Bunches of Love by LOTV. 


The image has been coloured with Copic Markers and the papers Butterfly Kisses Too are from Nitwit Collections. 


The heart dies are by Memory Box and the ribbon is from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the Sentiment from LOTV.  The doily and gems are from my own stash.


I am entering this card into the following challenges

Milk, Coffee Challenge - Cute
Stamp n doodle = Anything goes.

It is now 10pm and I am going to bed now because my little baby has tired me out. Sweet dreams blogger friends. See you in the morning when I post this blog.

A new Challenge over at Songbird.

Good morning Friend.
Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. As some of you have commented - my baby has definitely got in the way of my crafting. I am just pleased I was able to get my DT cards finished before we picked Abbie up. 

Over at Songbird today, we have a new challenge which has been sponsored by Joanna Sheen. The theme for the challenge is Sixteen going on Seventeen so we would love to see all your age cards. 
I have used an image from Tiddly Inks - Wryn.
I would like to give a special mention to Alyce from Kit and Clowder for her wonderful colouring tutorial. I used the same colours as Alyce used in her tutorial as I thought it would be the best way to practice. I am very pleased with the results though I have a long way to go to be nearly as good as Alyce.


Wryn has been coloured using Copic markers 


The papers are Bonnets and Bowties from Nitwit Collections


The flowers and the fishtail dies are both by Die-namics available from many on-line stores. 
The sentiment has been computer generated.

Lil Ballerina

Good morning friends.
Hope you are all well and enjoying your day. I like Saturdays to go really slow as I have to work all day on a Sunday. So far today is flying by. I will be visiting dad this afternoon who is hopefully, fingers crossed, beginning to improve. I am trying to persuade Russ to come to the cinema with me to see Les Mis for the third time before it finishes. So far, he is not being persuaded. Boo Hoo. He always says why spoil a good story with singing. Guess when is comes to singing - we are not on the same wave length. 

 I am sharing with you a card I made earlier in the week using Mo's Digital Pencil image called Lil Ballerina. I have had this digi a while and have been looking forward to using her. I am really pleased with the result - she is so sweet.   Sorry but I have shared quite a few pictures this time.


I have used Copic Markers to colour the  dress and Flexi Markers to colour the hair. The gorgeous papers are from Raspberry Road and are called Fight Like a Girl.  These papers are beautiful and perfect for this image with the music notes and Puccini papers.


The flowers are from WOC


My favourite dies at the moment are these hearts from Memory Box called Precious Hearts


The border butterfly is an On The Edge die called Butterflight by Tim Holtz. The ribbon is from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop
