The Best Day Ever....

Hi everyone, its Lynne here today! I hope your having a great week. Can you believe that we are nearing the end of August already...Christmas is coming fast!! 

Today i have got the dreaded hospital appointment to discuss how and when they are going to get my Wisdom teeth out!! I am terrified of the dentist after a awful experience when i was little. Its a shame that we always remember the bad experiences over the good!

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.

Please feel free to pop over to the Sugar Nellie blog for daily inspiration and also there is a few days of the "Furry Friends" competition left...the prize is a Colouring Class from Kit and Clowder!! Check out details HERE!

Here are some challenges that i am going to enter my card into..

A Christmas Princess

Good Morning,
Hope you are all well! Welcome to my new followers!! I will get arounf to visit your blogs soon!

 I had such a lovely holiday and had a very busy few days since getting home! My Mum has just got a new house and is moving next week so we are packing and getting her all ready. 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.

You can buy this Princess here from the Funky Kits Store!!

I have used Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils to colour my stamp. My papers are "Rose Tinted Christmas" from DCWV.

My dies are Sizzix Thinlets Doily and border set. 

 The Snowflakes Dies are from Marianne Design aswell as the Flourishes. 

I have embellished with some ribbon, Lace a flourish of gems and 

touches of Glamour Dust!

Birthday Princess and a Proud Mum!!

Hi everyone, I hope your all had a gorgeous weekend and enjoying all this beautiful weather. On Saturday my eldest Son had the pleasure of taking part in the Queens Baton Relay! He was chosen to be a baton bearer for all his volunteer work he does with Oxfam and Young Scot.  I could have burst with pride...such a special day and lovely memories made!

Here is a little photo of him carrying the Queens Baton!

Anyway, i am here to share my card that i have posted on the Sugar Nellie blog this morning. 
Today i have used the gorgeous "Birthday Princess". You will find this little sweetie over at the Funky Kits store.

Birthday Princess was coloured using Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils.
I used Floral Pavilion papers from First Edition. The flower is a Cuttlebug die which i paired with Marianne Design flourishes. 
To embellish my card i used lace, ribbon, some heart shaped buttons then i made a little decorative pin to finish off!

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges...

Craft-Dee Bowz - Anything Goes with a handmade bow!

Crafting from the heart - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion - 3 or more Embellishments 

Love to Create - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by..i hope you can stop by the Sugar Nellie Blog for some gorgeous inspiration every day!

Take Care,

Best Day Ever...

I hope your having a great week so far. The weather has been miserable here for the past few days, just so wet! The rain today was bouncing of the ground just as the kids got out school...Carrie was soaked through by the time she got down the hill! 

Anyway, Today is my day to post over at the Sugar Nellie Blog so decided to make a card and candle gift set using the gorgeous "Best Day Ever" digi stamp. She also comes in rubber but is soon to be retired so if you want this cutie you will have to get her very soon!

 Materials 

Image coloured with Promarkers and Poly Pencils

Papers - My Minds Eye - Lost and Found

Dies - Memory Box Vivienne

Embellishments - Lace, Ribbon for bow and Gems

I have also used Glossy accent and Glamour Dust (doesnt seem to show up on photo)

(Candle - Flower from Wild Orchid Crafts and Twine)

I printed the digi onto tissue paper (you can just stamp directly onto the paper if using rubber!)
I coloured my image using Promarkers. You have to do quite a few layers to get the colour you want as colouring on tissue paper is not the easiest!
Cut around the image...just roughtly, doesnt need to be neat as you are not going to see the edges.
Place on the candle and using a good amount of wax paper wrap it around tightly gathering the excess in a bunch at the back.
Using your heat gun sweep over the whole of the image. You MUST pull tight on the wax paper as you do this as the pressure from the wax paper pushes the tissue paper into the melting wax leaving the image embedded on your candle.
You will see the candle wax melting and the image starting to change. Make sure you go right to the egdes of your image.
 All thats left to do now is carefully peel the wax paper away and admire your gorgeous personalised candle!
You can also put a sentiment on there in exaclty the same way if you wish!

Here are a few challenges to enter my card and candle set into...
