So, today i  have made a card using the gorgeous "Best Day Ever" digital stamp. She is soon to be retired so if you want this cutie you will have to get her very soon from the Funky Kits Store!

I used Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils to colour. The papers are Floral Pavilion from First Edition. The flower is a cuttlebug die paired with Marianne Design flourishes. The butterflies are Memory Box delightful Butterflies Die and i have used some lace, a little bow and added some gems. I have also used glossy accents with Glamour dust to add some sparkle.

Yahoo...the schools are back!! lol! Well in Soctland anyway!! My youngest, Carrie, is starting P6 this year and Sean is in 4th year. My eldest, Ryan, is starting college next week so has another week to relax! They are all growing up too fast!!

Anyway, As you read this i will have already put my two out the door and will be away to see my gorgeous Neice, Ava, as she starts her first day of school. 

So, I decided to use one of the gorgeous Scrapberry Stamps today. This one is called Fairy Birthday

You can buy her from the Funky Kits Store!

I have coloured my fairy using Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils. My papres are My Minds Eye, Lost and Found. I used my Tim Holtz Rosettes Die adding a little Marianne Design Flourish.

Good Morning!

Hope you all had a fab weekend! We have had terrible rain here the last few days so hopefully this week will bring some dry and warm weather!

Today is my turn to share on the Sugar Nellie Blog and as i have been reading a lot of books lately i decided to make a little magnetic bookmark for myself.  There are magnets inside so that the bookmark wont slide out my book when moving it around!

I have used "Words from the Heart" Furry Friends Digital Stamp.

You can buy him from the Funky Kits Store along with all his little furry Friends!

I have coloured this cutie with Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils. The paper is one from "Be Mine" from Echo Park backed onto Black card stock. I then used a little black ribbon to dangle down the outside of my book when closed. 

The magnets are inside. (See picture below)

This is the magnets inside that will stop your bookmark falling out your book when moved around!

Remember that the competition is still running through-out this month over on the Sugar Nellie Blog HERE!

She is having to move to a house all on the flat as she has been falling down the stairs a lot due to her Brain Tumour removal op. Its going to be hard for her as she has been in this same house for 35 years and we were all brought up there but her health comes first.

Anyway, today i am have shared my card on the Sugar Nellie Blog, not my usual day but we swapped about to give me a few days extra after my holiday which was well appreciated!

Yes, its my very first Christmas card of the year! I have been trying to get my Xmas cards started months but never got round to it till now! 

I decided to use this gorgeous Sugar Nellie WInter Wonders Princess for my card. I have used her before for a non Christmas card so this stamp is so versatile.

My dies are Sizzix Thinlets Doily and border set.
