Away with the Fairies

Hello everyone,

Well they were right - we have seen some sunshine over the weekend, so all is not lost!

I'm back today with my weekly post for Sherri Baldy Art using another of her gorgeous little fairy Besties. Here's what I made using image 694 which you can buy from Sherri's on-line store HERE.

I used a door hanger template and covered with backing papers in soft lilac and mint green before adding my image which was coloured with Promarkers and a little added glitter. Well, you can't have a fairy without glitter, can you!  The pretty flowers were all hand stamped onto scraps of the backing papers, cut out, inked and assembled with pearl centres before becoming part of my project. I also added a couple of die cuts, some tiny punched butterflies and printed the wording on my pc.

And don't forget - today is the last day to enter our blog hop over at the 'My Besties UK Challenge blog' so why not pop over and say hello HERE.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - Winged Things

Cute Card Thursday - Fairy Nice

Fussy & Fancy - Punches and Dies

That Craft Place - Things with Wings

Try it on Tuesday - Make your own Flowers

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Lil' Ladybug

Good morning My Bestie friends,

As it's Sunday, it's time for my post over at Sherry Baldy Art and this week I have a card using Besties image 788 who has yet to be named. I called her 'Lil' Ladybug' and you can buy her from Sherri's on-line store HERE.

Here's what I made ...

This one was made with the 'My Besties UK Challenge Blog' in mind - the theme this time is 'CIRCLES'. How many can you spot?

I used my Promarkers to colour the image and the backing papers are from Raspberry Road. Using my dies I cut lots of circles from scraps of purple papers to match the background, then arranged them around the edge of the design. Some little punched flowers and butterflies finish off the design.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Hello Besties ...

Happy Sunday everyone,

I hope you all had a great week - I think we have finally regained some order after moving my daughter back home. I only have to climb over the odd box now to get into bed!

As it's Sunday it's my turn to post over at 'Sherri Baldy Art' 

and this week I have made a card using the gorgeous 

'Belinda Beehive' 

which you can find in Sherri's on-line store HERE.

I adore these little girls and each week seem to have a different favourite! I coloured her with my Promarkers, adding a little sparkle on her wings and some frantage embossing powder around the image 

which I though looked a little like fairy dust.  Papers and embellishments are all from my stash.

Have a great day,

Hugz, Jan xx

My Notebook

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying this fantastic weather, I must admit the cooler temperatures we had here yesterday were welcome. It has been like a furnace at school all week and the children are so irritable. Anyway, only two more days left - then bring on summer!!

I have another little project using one of the fantastic Sherri Baldy 'Bestie' images this morning - I adore these images and this one is brand new! As I'm always making notes when I'm on the internet I thought it would be a good idea to cover one of my notebooks. Here's what I ended up with ...

This gorgeous little girl doesn't even have a name yet, but is listed in Sherri's store as image 906 and you can buy her HERE.

I coloured her with my Promarkers (just for a change, I hear you say!)  I must really challenge myself to use some other colouring mediums - watch this space!  I love the pretty sugared almond colours though to match the backing paper.  The lettering is cut using my Sizzix machine and all the embellishments are hand made. Hope you like her.

See you all again tomorrow with a brand new 'Make My Monday' challenge.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx
