Well compared to most of you I'm a late starter...as I have said before..I dont like making christmas cards much....so says someone who has just bought 6 LOTV christmas stamps....I will use them of course..but I always seem to struggle with Christmas cards...well here's my first one...yes its not LOTV..its a Gorjuss One...

I like her 'cos she's quirky....not too sure about the big hat though but hey!!..her name is Holly...the DP is...errmm..MME I think...she is coloured with Copics and I used a scallope border punch...WOC flowers MS holly punch...organza ribbon..and pearls...
hope you're having a great evening...hope to be back tomorrow..

Awwwwww.......

We have a New Baby in the family today...Baby Lucy Louisa arrived early this morning at approx 4am weighing a hefty 8lb odd...ouch!!..lol...She is the daughter of my cousins son Carl and his Fiance' Katie...making my cousin a Grandmother for the first time...awwww...here is the card I made for them...

Katie wanted every thing for the baby to be white so I chose neutral colours for the card..using a sweet LOTV image and TH papers...Katie is doing well although a bit weak as Baby Lucy popped out in only just an hour!!!! I have seen a pic of her already and she is certainly a chubby one!! bless...
I'll be back later with some more cards to share..
bye for now

Lili of the Valley Challenge and Some to Share..

Happy Sunday to all...hope you're having a great weekend..mine has been very crafty so far...had a bit of a LOTV fest..lol...as they have been neglected of late and I do love them so...cant wait till the 6th Sept for the new ones...anyway I have been playing with some old ones...This one is my entry for this weeks LOTV Challenge which is a great sketch by the lovely Pops...

I just love the bunnies and this one is a dream to colour...I used a mixture of Prismas and Copics...the DP's are a digi from NitWits...I added pretty organza ribbon and bow...and WOC Sweet Blossoms..(which look pink in the pic but are really a soft mauvey lilac IRL...strange how the camera changes the colour sometimes) and finished with pearls and loads of sparkle..
Here's a couple to share..

Not Just for Christmas.....

Yes..I'm going to have to eat my words...I bought two..(well you cant buy one cos of the minimum order rule) Sugar Nellies new releases...this one is Wish Upon a Star..I've been looking at the sneak peaks and the brilliant work of the DT...and I succumbed...lol..now you may think I'm strange..but I hate making Christmas cards..I think its because it all starts far too early and I get sick of red and green...lol..anyway I thought as she was just so pretty she would do for anytime of year...here she is...

She is coloured with copics..the DP is Prima Romantique paper stack...really gorgeous papers...I didn't want to hide the paper too much so just used WOC flowers..organza bow and pearls to finish..as she is so detailed I have used loads of sparkle and tiny crystals on her and also tiny dots of liquid pearls just to pretty her up...she is very sparkly IRL its a shame that the camera doesn't pick it up..
Anyway..I've had a nice crafty day today so I'll be back with another for a Challenge.. have a great evening..
