Crafty Calender Challenge - Launch Day !

Yay, it's friday 2nd October which means it is time for the launch of a brand new challenge site Crafty Calender Challenge where I am lucky enough to be on the DT. This is a monthly challenge that will be set on the first friday of every month, and each month we will have a fabby sponser, this month it is ' Sketching Stamper ' who have donated a lovely prize for you. Today we want you to create an Autumn card. To me autumn always means Halloween so that is what I decided on for my card. I am also entering this for the Allsorts Challenge where this week their theme is Autumn too.I have used the adorable ' Pippi ' from CC Designs, I have stamped her with Memento Ink and coloured her with my Copic Markers, I have glittered her wings for a bit of sparkle, I do love my sparkle lol !

The papers I have used are all by BoBunny, they are such bright vibrant colours and fitted perfectly with my colouring. I have used my famous QK swirls again, I do love these, and have also used some cherry blossoms from my stash.

The sentiment is also from CC Designs, I love this saying and will use it alot, even on birthday cards for little girls as I often call my own children ' Pumpkin ' - on their good days anyway lol !

So, I hope you like my post - Oh, I forgot to tell you about the little gift bag, memory like a sieve ! I got the tutorial for this from Here it is so easy to make and I thought it would be lovely to give little Halloween treats in. I used some more of the BoBunny papers and some ribbon from my stash, the label that Pippi is on was cut with my Nesties.

Right, I think I have finished now lol ! I hope you have time to come and join in with us this month, and I really look forward to visiting all your blogs to check out your creations.

Have a wonderful day,

Hugs,

Sugarplum Love

A couple of days ago this lovely stamp dropped through my letterbox, it is one of the CC Designs Sugarplums - Polka Dot Emma, she is just a dream to colour, I have of course used my copics, the papers I have used are imaginesce, prima iced flowers and brads from my stash, finished off with a Tim Holtz addage ticket.

A close up of the coloured image :

I hope you like her as much as I do.

I would like to say how much fun I am having blog hopping, you have all been so friendly in the last few days and it has really made me feel welcome, I just hope that my things bring some inspiration to someone like all of your things have inspired me.

Hugs,

Pretty in Pink Birthday card

This is another card using one of the Gorjuss Girls stamps, I have coloured this one using my copics, something I have only recently started to use and I loooooooooove them. The paper is by Sandylion and the ribbons, flowers and brad are all from my stash. This card is for my Gorjuss little girl Sophie to give to her friend.

Have a great day and take care,

A Gorjuss card just for fun

Good morning ! and welcome to my blog. This is my very first post and I would never have been able to do it without the help of a very dear friend, so a HUGE thankyou to you - Susie - you are just the best person on the planet and I love you dearly.

This card is one of the Gorjuss girl images coloured with copics. The papers are from DaisyBucket and the flowers, brads and spacers are from my stash. Sorry about the quality of my photos, that is something I will have to work on. I hope you like my card and look forward to having you follow my blog.

Until next time,

Claire xx
