Something Else on Saturday #159 Featuring Cupcake Marci from La-La Land Crafts

Good morning and Happy Saturday! For today's Something Else on Saturday post, I have pulled an image I coloured a really long time ago for one of Alyce Keegan's Kit & Clowder classes. I think it might have even been a freebie class, but it was so long ago I have no idea! I don't do her classes any more simply because I have so many that I have purchased and have not got round to doing them yet as well as all the other classes I have signed up for! I really need to make time to do them!

Anyway this cutie is Cupcake Marci from La-La Land crafts and I went for a bit of a shabby chic style card - something I love doing but don't do very often! 

This card is for

As You Like It Blonde or Brunette (I love colouring brunette hair as there's so many different shades you can create!)

Something Else on Saturday #139 Featuring Bookworm Unicorn from Pink Gem Designs

Good morning and Happy Saturday! Welcome to today's Something Else on Saturday post, where I am sharing with you all one of the pages I have created for my reading journal. As my journal is purple this year, I am colouring my section dividing images mostly in purples as well. 

I absolutely loved this Bookworm Unicorn digital stamp as it combines two of my favourite things - reading and unicorns! This had to be kept fairly flat to keep the notebook journal as flat as possible.

Something Else on Saturday Challenge #109 Featuring Spring Marci from La-La Land Crafts

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday Challenge post. I have a huge pile of coloured images that I am slowly trying to make my way through and this cutie has been sat in this pile for an absolute age! Probably from last summer at least! I love to just sit and colour but don't always need or have time to add the images to a card. 

I decided to do a different shape today instead of my usual square cards and pulled out one of my Dutch Doobadoo card templates - love this flag one as it is still quite big and has enough space to add lots of layers and embellishments!

#Mermay Challenge 5 - Shell

Hello and welcome to my #Mermay Challenge #5. Today I set myself the challenge of using a mermaid in a shell and combined this gorgeous mermaid from La-La Land Crafts with the shell and fish digis.

I attempted to do the first class from Sandy Allnock's Underwater Scenes class straight onto this image, but I'll be honest, I really should have practised it before trying it out on this card as I really didn't like the way the waves on the top of the sea came out. The colours didn't look right and then I had to blend, blend, blend until I got it looking ok. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I guess it's ok. Going to have to go back and practise that class again!

Happy Easter!

Good morning and Happy Easter to those of you celebrating today! I don't do the religious side of Easter, but love to make Spring and Easter themed cards as I love all the cute stamps and digis that are always around at this time of year (and bunnies are one of my favourite animals too!).

For today's card I used two different digis from La-La Land Crafts, Little Chick Baby Luka and the Spring Lamb and Bunny set. I coloured them all with my Copics before fussy cutting them to add to this die cut scene.

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post! I'm still making Christmas cards like mad and now have delivered most of them! Just the close family ones to take round now and then I "think" I'm all done! I actually printed and stamped so many Christmas sets this set, that I probably have enough already for next year. I won't say that I won't buy any more Christmas or Winter themed stamps, but I probably shouldn't!

Anyway I did a fairly quick and simple card using the adorable Marci with Snowman and my favourite new winter combo of red and aqua!

Sweet November Fairy in the Field!

Good evening and welcome to my post today. I have used the adorable Flora Sweetbrier digi stamp with the Tree #3 both from Sweet November Digital Stamps, available from 7 Kids Crafts and also added some other toadstool and flower digi stamps.

When I first put this scene together, I just wanted to make a big image to colour to practise various techniques and I really like how it came out. However, when it came to making something with it, the colouring was so big that it just about fit on a card and therefore I kept it really plain and simple (so unlike me!).

Fantasy Friday #28 Featuring Faerie Marci from La-La Land Crafts

Good morning and welcome to this week's Fantasy Friday post. Today I am sharing one of my favourite fairy images from La-La Land Crafts and used the mushrooms and flowers from the same digi stamp set as well.

I did find it hard to find some patterned papers to match the colours of the image for this one. I tend to colour as and when I can and just randomly choose colours without thinking about what I will put with it sometimes! I think these colours work ok though!

Anyway...here she is. I used some old retired papers from Stampin' Up and then my previously unused Twinkle Star die from Creative Expressions, which was the perfect background for her!

Fantasy Friday #6 Featuring Message In A Bottle by Simply B Stamps

Good morning and welcome to my latest Fantasy Friday post, where I share my love for all things fantasy and magical! This week I am sharing one of the gorgeous mermaids from Simply B Stamps, Message In A Bottle. I just love Betty's stamps and have heaps and heaps of them, so hopefully I will get round to using them a bit more now!

I used the stippling technique to create the sea with light rays peeking through - I love this technique, but boy does it take forever to do!

Nurse Marci Says Get Well Soon

My very close friend Jayne is very very ill at the moment and I am going to see her on Thursday as she finally feels up to having visitors after being ill for almost 3 weeks with pneumonia. I just had to make her a get well soon card using the adorable Nurse Marci from La-La Land Crafts. Isn't she just adorable?!

I don't have any dies for get well cards and I couldn't be bothered to dig my cameo out and faff around with that for a couple of little ones, so I made a clipboard using one of my dies instead.

In The Pink Challenge #85 Anything Goes

Good Morning and Happy New Year from the In The Pink Challenge Blog. Our first challenge of the year is an easy one - Anything Goes with lots of pink of course! I chose to use the gorgeous Rose Fairy from La-La Land Crafts for my card. I used to use these images all the time, but over the years I have moved onto other companies I like and have kind of forgotten about La-La Land images. Having had a big sort out of my crafting stuff over the Christmas holidays, I rediscovered so many things I had forgotten all about, including these gorgeous stamps!
