Sweetie Pie

Morning crafty friends,  today I have done an inspirational post for All Dressed Up, I am using the beautiful digi image from All Dressed Up called Sweetie Pie, you can find her here, she is quite adorable...

I really love the pink, and to tone it down I also used a dark brown which is so complimentary, I used both colours and the white to frame my little sweetie pie, and finished it off with a flourish of flowers.. talking of flourishes, I used a Tattered Lace die to enhance the top of the frame, which gives rather an elegant touch. Please visit the Etsy store to find lots of lovely images ready to colour.

Thanks for stopping by - Lizzy xxx

Well it was a very exciting Sunday, 3 shows almost in a row, 8,10 and 1pm!  But I had the lovely Joanne, Debbie and Nigel to keep my company... here are some of the samples I made for the shows, if you need to know how they were made please leave me a comment and I shall post the instructions. 

 It's such fun to do the live shows, 

you never quite know how they will go,

Key to my heart

Tattered Lace - Florentine collection

If anyone was in any doubt about getting any more dies, please wait till after next weekend!!! These new dies from Tattered Lace are totally amazing, stunning, beautiful and so much more... I love them.. the sizes are perfect for the bigger cards, but not so big that they don't fit on a 6x6... here is one of my designs using the princess carriage, OMG I love it so much!

Truly stunning, I have made this die in various ways, embossed, glittered, paper pieced, etc etc, and I shall be demonstrating some of these techniques on Create & Craft next weekend. Yay, thanks for stopping by... Lizzy xxx

Good morning to everyone and a Happy Christmas to one and all!!

 

Well its challenge time over at That Craft Place blog, you can see it here go take a look and see all the wonderful creations made by my super duper DT team members. My little old card for today uses a wonderful image by Mo Manning, I love her! Coloured with Copics and all the other bits available from Lisa fabulous shop!

I made this card for an ex colleague at Hobbycraft, who is just 18 and has yet to find her way... such a lovely girl who has great potential, she just hasn't realised how lovely she is yet, and that her world is her oyster!  Currently on holiday in India. Yep how the bloomin heck does that happen, well there we are!  Wishing you all a very very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!  Lizzy xxxx

Let it snow let it snow let it snow!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, la de da la la la de darrrrr

Yes I am humming the tune as I type... as its so near to Crimbo now I feel I can hum a Crimbo type tune.... its also challenge time over at That Craft Place, go visit, enter your card and who knows what wonderful winnings you might get!  You'll certainly get a visit from some of our design team members, what better way to show off your wonderful creations... plus you give us lots of ideas!!

 

We are being sponsored by All Dressed Up, and I have chosen to use " Its snowing " as my digi,  soooooo cuuuuute!

 
 
 
 


Everything I have used is available from Lisa's shop, That Craft Place, find her on facebook, she has a terrific selection of goodies, and a brick and morter shop in Eastbourne, I've been there and its fab!

Thanks for looking at my little bloglet... Happy Crimbo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lizzy xx

While shepherds watched their flocks .......

Goodness gracious its the 2nd of December and that can only mean 1 thing, yes its challenge time over at All Dressed Up! Take a look here! I have chosen to use this cute image called A Star is born... and I also chose to make a bridge card, not sure if that's the correct term but that's what I call these type of cards, they are my nearly favourite card style cos you can add layers if you use acetate, I made one of these live on Create and Craft last week!  And I dared to score the acetate live.... no stress there then.

 

Anyway pop over to the blog and add your creation or visit the etsy shop to buy your digi for Christmas, its not too late you know!

 

You could hide a secret message behind the front card, I like it... or a litte envelope with money in... yes please!

 

Thank you for visiting my bloglet. xxxxx

So cute - Inspirational post for ADU

Sooo cute, pointillism, go on, give it a go!

Here I have used the inspirational post for All Dressed Up to tell you all about Pointillism, and here is the Wikipedia explanation:

Pointillism /ˈpwɛntɨlɪzəm/ is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image.

I thought it might be fun to apply this method of colouring an image, and I am quite pleased with the result, the technique actually compliments the cute little image really well.  It probably took as long to do as "proper" colouring,  but give it a go, its fun!!

Thanks for visiting  Lizzy xxxx

Life is good

Hello my lovelies, so nice of you to stop by my little bloglet, today's project is for the fortnightly challenge over at That Craft Place, the theme is sentiment, and I have used one of Lisa's own stamps. They are fabulous stamps and worth a visit to Lisa's online facebook shop to take a look!

So here is my creation for this challenge, I have used the saying Life is good, and it so is for me at the moment, I love this colour scheme, I have used the paper pad from Kaisercraft called Forget Me Not. I love this paper pad, and have used it loads over the last couple of months. I have used some gorgeous wool felt in matching colours to make the flowers, tattered lace dies for the doily's and my Silhouette Cameo to cut the 2 background layers, and butterfly which I have gilded.  I hope you like it, I think it turned out ok!

Thanks for visiting. xxx

Autumn

Hello,  and eeeeeek I'm late, in my haste to get away for the weekend I forgot to upload my post for All Dressed Up!!!! However for those of you who are visiting after 5pm on the 2nd of November all of this is useless information!

Well here we are with another fabulous challenge over at All Dressed Up, and I am using a gorgeous image to create my wreath, which has now pride of place at my daughters house... well I am always looking for new homes for my makes, and my family are inundated with stuff from me!

I cut all the leaves and flowers on my fabulous Silhouette Cameo, and the graphics to make my photo was done on my Serif Craft Artist Professional, which is rather good!!

Thanks for stopping by,  and as I am away on my holidays I shall now tuck into fish'nchips!!

Witch you were here!

Good day crafty peeps!  Ah ha its halloween just around the corner and coincidentally thats the theme for this latest challenge over at That Craft Place.. yes anything spooky will do the trick!!   I have chosen this rather lovely digi, called teen witch, a beautiful Mo Manning image, she is so cute in a spooky sort of way.

 I decided to put my Cameo to full use and cut a Pumpkin, just because I can,  and the lovely frame around my cutie witch is also cut from the Cameo. The papers are Papermania, which cut beautifully on the Cameo, the metal corners are from Lisa's shop.

So all in all a fun card to put together. 

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment, and I shall know you have been xxxx

Flower power

Hello guys!  Thanks for stopping by for my Inspirational Post for All Dressed Up!  Don't you just love these cute little digi's, and its a pleasure to create a project using these images.

 I really wanted to make this different, so I used a Silhouette cutting file to cut 2 cards, one in cream, one in blue, and stick them back to back, to get that lovely floral look.  When I coloured this digi in with my copics, I was on holiday, and only when I got home I realised it was far too big, so I scanned it and resized it, and now it sits perfectly on an 8x8 card. If you need any info about how I made any element of this card please leave me a message and I will get back to you.

Anyway here she is, one of the Autumn girls.

Thanks for stopping by xxxxx
