A new Challenge at Diva's by Design

Good morning friends.

I hope you are all well and enjoying some sunshine. It has been lovely to craft with the sun shining into my room. 
I would like to welcome my newest followers - thank you so much for joining me and for all your lovely appreciated comments.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Diva's by Design. We are being sponsored this week by Craftbag and we have a theme of Make it Sparkle. The DT have some wonderful cards for your inspiration and it would be lovely if you could show then some love and pop on over - even lovelier if you would join in the challenge - who doesn't like a bit of Sparkle?

For my card this week I have used a stamp from LOTV - Emma shoes. Poor Emma is having such a difficult time choosing the right shoes. 
A full product list will be at the end of my post. 


Any guesses as to which colouring medium I have used? I think my copics will be drying up at this rate, though after watching Alyce from Kit and Clowders live colouring of an image I may have to get them out.


The pearl string is from The Hobby House and the flowers are from WOC and Live and Love Crafts.


The shoe charm is from Live and Love Crafts and the Heart Die is from Doo Hickey. 
I have added Frantage to the butterflies and the image mat. The sentiment is from Whimsy stamp.

Tilda with Big Tulips

Good evening blogger friends.

I hope you are all well and having an enjoyable week. 
We are having a very expensive month as we have had a massive bill for the boiler, four new tires for the car and a locking system for the front door. 
Hey ho - its only money!!! Scary though as I need to save up some money for the NEC!!!

For my card today I am again using my favourite Magnolia image "Tilda with Big Tulips".
I have made a criss cross image after being inspired by Teresa's fabulous creations. Teresa has a fabulous tutorial on this card so please take a look. 


I have coloured the image with my distress markers. The pearl embellishments are all from The Hobby House. 

The pearls and the bling in the middle of the flower are all from The Hobby House. The pearl string has been cut to make a thinner string which is on the two diagonal strips. The complete string is along the top of the lace.
The flowers are from WOC and Live and Love Crafts. 
A product listing will be at the end of this post. 


My favourite Die at the moment - A Doo Hickey.

A new challenge at Diva's by Design.

Good morning friends.
I hope you are all well and having a lovely week. I mentioned last week that I had a fear of downloading Photoscape because of all the problems I have had with my previous computer. Well after you lovely people commented that you have had no problems with it, I took the bull by the horns and downloaded it again. It is lovely to use it again. Photoscape, I have missed you. xxx

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Diva's by Design. We are being sponsored by Mei Flower and the theme is "With Love". Very appropriate seen as it is Valentines this week. 
I have used a LOTV image Close your eyes. 
Don't all pass out but I have made a card that is not pink!!!
A link to all the products used will be at the bottom of this post.


I have coloured this adorable couple with Distress Markers. Think I need to sell my copics!!!


 I love the Doo Hickey tag. I think it is my favourite crafty product at the moment.  The pearl border on top of the lace is from The Hobby House. The pearl string has been altered. I cut a layer of beads from the bottom of the beaded string for a more delicate look. The string goes twice as far also which is always a good thing for us crafters. 


The flowers are a combination of WOC and Live and Love Crafts.


I would like to welcome my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me.
