Raspberry pink christmas

This is a Kenny K image called Mrs Claus. 

I saw this and it was like looking in the mirror, who just said  "in your dreams maria" yes i heard you! 

She is coloured with promarkers and a bit of glamour dust. I used distress ink to edge the oval and the snowflakes.

Competition card

This is the card i won at Happy Stampers with on Saturday-im still a bit stunned, there was about 150 entries apparently!

As you can see the theme was black and white-no grey or skin tones allowed.

The image is Sugar Nellie's Goth Girl,the skull and crossbone is from Lost Coast (it was a long strip border stamp but i cut 1 off the end to use alone for little embellies etc,its now one of my most used stamps)

As you can see, i have made my own backing papers,black on black and then white on black.  I made the embellies with the skull and then the edge is from a Paula Pascual sentiment set- i thought it made them look like pirate coins.

The punch is an MS

I coloured using my Fineliner pen.

Because i was not allowed to do my usual shading with grey tones i needed something to make the image pop,so i highlighted the edges with glitter.

Smoky distressed Butterfly

This i stamp from Clarity ( i borrowed it off Amber) I stamped onto pealised card for this one because i didnt want to do very much to it-it doesnt need it! So i just used my black prisma pencil to give a smoky/distress feel, tinsy bit of clear glitter and a couple of tiny gems.

The pearly sheen is lovely.

Amber's competition card

I had to show you this, its Amber's entry for the Happy Stampers under 16's competition today on the Wirral. The theme is black and white-and when i say black and white thats exactly what i mean,no grey,no metal,no skin tones,no mirri board.

Anyway, Amber started by making a aperture mask with the film strip stamp then stamped her film strips onto card. Then she stamped all her little Clarity stamps through the aperture into the windows. She has added clear glitter and pearls.

Normally she would have her inky sponge and brayer out and add a nice sky and some shading but the graduation into grey shades would get her disqualified from the competition!!!!

I will list the stamps used after i check with Amber,some are her Clarity project club stamps and some are over the counter Clarity's,im not sure which.

Quick update, unfortunately Amber didnt win this time (she was competing against 16 year olds and she is only 8)-there is always next time though!

This is Pumpkin Witch, a digi from Delcious Doodles. She is coloured with prisma pencils and i used a paper moon and brayer to do the sky.

My poor little Milly

Well what a day so far!  I spent this morning at the vet with my Milly,somehow she has torn one side of her lip off!!  I think the car took itself to the vet cause i could barely see the road for crying.  She has had antibiotics,painkillers and anti inflammatory's and i have daily meds for her until she goes back on Tuesday. Luckily Steve and Amber stayed at my Mum and Dad's last night so they dont know-Amber especially will freak!  So i arranged for them to stay out for the weekend,hopefully by the time they see Milly her mouth will start to heal and not look as bad. You cant see it in this pic and i decided not to put a pic of her mouth cause its gruesome-my poor little girl!
Fortunately i have managed to get her to eat  some of her nuggies (Burgess's Finest) as long as it doesnt touch the outside of her mouth, and i just diced some apple and pear into tiny little pieces-she is tucking into those now.
As yet its a mystery how it happened,i cant find anything sharp or jagged in the house that could have caused it,  i also checked the run in the garden for sharp bits, now i need to drag the panels of the old shed out and see if there is any nails at the bottoms of those-Milly and Saphire wont be playing out until its sorted!
I will let you know how she goes over the next couple of days.

Purrfectly Sassy

This is the Little Honey's Cheshire Cat from Sassy Studios, big thanks to Sara for sorting my images for me!

I have coloured with combo of Promarkers and Prismas. Paper is from Milton,stamped sentiment is from Kaiser. I have used liquid pearls on the swirl and on the doily flowers,orange stickles on the collar.

Whiff of something pretty

I confess, i pinched this whiff of joy stamp out of Amber's rack last night, yes im hanging my head in shame. Our Stevie won this at Port Sunlight in May and gave it to Amber,can you believe it had never been opened until last night-that child has too much craft stuff!

Are you drooling over my doily flowers yet? I nearly tore the posties arm off on Saturday morning to get the parcel off him,sorry Ralph! 

The paper is from My Minds Eye as is the sentiment. The image is coloured with Prisma pencils-im getting better at the skin tones i think.

Having to drag myself out of bed this morning!

Well im not getting back into the morning routine at all! Much better when the schools were off. As you can see I got halfway out of bed this morning and then completely changed my mind, mum and those pesky kids have to get up and go out in the rain BUT I DONT!
Wake me up with my breakfast in an hour mum.
Love from Milly

Miss Electra and a quick candy reminder

This is a Kenny K image i bought yestereday,i thought it was about time i had some of his.  I have coloured using a combo of Promarkers and prismas-the hair has driven me mad,i just had to walk away in the end and vow to practise more.

The 'mirror' is an embossing folder from Quikcuts,i just drew over the raised pattern with versamark pen and left it.  The punch is of course a Martha,the swirl and flutterby dies are from Marianne designs. 

I made the tickets with the help of MCS,i then inked the edges with Chipped saphire distress ink. Tuille net and black rose from my stash-not easy to stick net is it!

I will add this to some challenges later today.

Quick reminder, i said if i got to 60 followers i would sort some candy,i have the 60 so im on to it today.

Maria - Kid - sweetshop, need i say more!!!!

So excited i nearly forgot the link

Just had to show you this

This is our Saphy, full title Sapphire Marigold Simms.  We adopted her a few weeks ago but this is actually the 1st time she has sat still long enough to take her photo properly!  Does she look like an adorable little darling or what-WRONG WRONG WRONG!! she is a naughty little girl. She has chewed the stairs in her lovely big expensive house/hutch,she has chewed through the wire mess to escape from her play run,she has chewed the side of my shed,and on one of the few occasions she has been let loose in the house she has completely severed the power cord to Amber's lecky blanket!   She is never going to be a house rabbit like Milly, but we love her just the same. (until she chews any of my craft stuff,then im afraid she is headed for the slow cooker) Only kiddin Amber. xx

Another new idea!

Gill from Little Claire sent us DT girlies a new little stamp the other day,i wanted to do something different with it so here it is!

An ATC easel desk calender-well some desks are smaller than others you know!

The stamp actually has 2 owl squares,i just used 1 for this. The punch is from Martha- i had fun making a border punch go around corners!
