Sugar Fix!!!

Sugar for the Weekend

Here is my card for the current Sugar Bowl challenge

This image was a Sweet Ebony one from Sugar Nellie ages ago. I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. 

I also made a candle using Titania the other night but must apologise for the por photo, I couldn't get the light right at all and you cannot see the shimmer paint I used for her wings.

I am entering the candle into Simon Says - photo inspiration

Also want to share my journal page for this week, the theme was Heart to Heart

Hope you have a good weekend, I'm off to Zumba!!

I need a Sugar boost!!

Day off today and I am so tired, feel like I've been hit by a truck. I planned to tackle my Christmas shopping but ended up just browsing and only bought one gift. Just a quick post to show you my card for the current Sugar Bowl challenge which was a sketch and a clean and simple theme

Not very keen on this card, think I'm just having an uninspired day as I don't like the journal page I did either! The image is Sugar Nellie Bambino, papers are Prima.
Here's the journal page for this week's He-art Journal, you had to use stickers. Not very exciting I know but I'm sharing it anyways

Early night for me I think
thanks for stopping by

Sweet Baby Boy

I was asked by a friend to make a card for a Naming Ceremony she was invited too. It gave me the perfect excuse to use the most adorable baby image I've ever seen from Sugar Nellie. He is called Bambino.

I also got to use my new Magnolia Vintage Tag die and the papers are from DCWV.

Still in love........

Yes I am using the wonderful Strike a Pose image again but have used much paler colours. Simply Sassy blog has a challenge at the moment to colour an image in using the colours below

The winners will get their image shown in the blog header. Here is my interpretation

And this is the card that I made with her

The papers are Memory Box, the ribbon was from stash and I put stickles down the middle which doesn't really show up properly in the photo. The sketch I used is the current Sugar Bowl challenge.
Thanks for visiting, I would love to hear what you think x

Time for some Sugar!

Yes it is the Sugarbowl Challenge again and this time it's a sketch from the very talented Erika.
I used Joy sitting, one of the fabulous digi images from the Simply Adorables range. They are so easy to colour.

The gorgeous papers are GCD Ella Blue, they have been distressed and inked with Vintage Photo. The roses are Wild Orchid Crafts.
It has been a day in the house for me as my youngest is poorly. Had to take him to emergency doc last night- turns out he has urine infection and a flu type virus. Poor thing hasn't moved off the couch all day but is a bit brighter tonight thankfully.
The golf Scottish Open is a few miles from here and was rained off today- we had the loudest thunderstorm I've ever heard last night and it has rained almost the whole day. Lovely Summer weather.
Hope the weather has been better where you are.

Sweet, sweet sugar

Another great sketch over at The Sugarbowl. I have used a Sugar Nellie images that I acquired while visiting the home of Sugar during the week. The image is coloured with Promarkers. DP is Henbury Lane Poinsettia and the cardstock and sentiment are Stampin' Up!. I inked around the edges of the paper and cardstock with a brown chalk ink pad and pierced around the edges of all the cardstock.(My eldest son was caught later piercing a piece of paper with no mat under it so I now have a nice little decoration on my table!!!)
The leaf is from the same sheet of stamps.
Here is a closer look at the main image

Back to work for me tomorrow :0(
 Schools are still off though as is hubby so I will have to leave them all in bed which makes it even worse!
Thanks for visiting. I will be back soon with some birthday candy!

Fun in the Sugarbowl

The current challenge over the The Sugar Bowl is a sketch with the optional theme of buttons. Just as well the buttons are optional as I forgot all about them when making my card last night lol!
I have used one of the Gorjuss images from Sugar Nellie. The papers are Memory Box Glitterati and the gems are from stash.
I haven't added a sentiment as yet, will wait and see who I send the card to.

I am also entering this into the Karber weekly challenge which is to create a card for a girl.

Thanks for popping by, have a good day x

Sugarbowl time!!

It seems like ages since I played in The Sugarbowl.  Another great sketch this week and the added option of pearls. I have rotated the sketch to fit my Gorjuss image. I tried out a new way of colouring the hair after watching a Copic Tutorial by Susanna over at Scrap Bitz. I haven't suddenly acquired Copics, just thought I could apply the same principles to my Promarkers. What do you think??? A bit more practice required methinks!
The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey Olivia and the pearls were added with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Silver. I haven't added a sentiment yet as I am waiting to see who I decide to send it to.

Hope you like and I would love it if you come back soon
