Notepad Tin

I finally finished a project that I started so figured I had better get it posted before I forgot to lol
This is an DVD tin that I bought and have decorated the front with some SU papers that are retired. I colored the 2nd Manga girl from Sugar Nellie with my copic's and cut her out and used some pop dots to mount her on the tin. I have used some Spellbinders dies and also added some lace from my stash. I added a Prima flower with a brad and spacer in the center and the leaf is a die from SU. The wording I am not for sure about where it came from.
Here is the inside of the tin and I have added a legal notepad and made a micro bead pen.
Well I have had a wonderful weekend of crafting but now it is time to get ready for the work week. Thanks so much for stopping bye and seeing me, means so much and thanks for your wonderful comments you have been sending me. It is so nice to know you all love what I am showing you. Sending big Hugs ((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))




Weekend Fun

How is every one's weekend going?? I know mine is going very fast. But have had a good time playing this weekend. After doing my DT work I have managed to do a few challenges.

This card here is for the Sugar Bowl, there is a wonderful sketch there by Kathy. I have used one of the new digital images from the Diane Duda collection from Sugar Nellie. This one is Flower Fairy. Isn't she adorable??? I so love Diane's images, they are one of a kind and I so enjoy coloring them. I have colored her with my copic's and made a flower from Bev's tutorial, added a brad. The papers are from DCWV.

This one is another one of the new Diane Dude collections from Sugar Nellie and this one is Giggle Fairy, Oh I have to say this one is my favorite, so cute isn't she?? She has been colored with my copic's and I have used papers from BG, a flourish die from Bosskut and added some ribbon and buttons from my stash. This card is for the lovely sketch over at Create4Fun.
Don't forget these images are digital and they are ready for you at Funky Kits, there is no waiting for them and if you love Diane's images like I do they have a promo going on some of her stamps and what a deal you get. So head on over and get yours today.
I received my Stamp Kit from Whiff of Joy and just had to ink one of these up. I have used one of the flowers from the kit and colored it with my copics and spica glitter pens. I have used several of the spellbinder dies and a photo corner from Bosskut. The papers are from DCWV, and I love these papers so purple !!! lol Did you all get your stamp kit yet???

Here is a card I made for Anyone for Anya, Oh I just had to get some of these, she is so adorable, There is a wonderful sketch by Dawny this week so I know you all are going to love that one.
I have used papers from Cloud 9 and colored Anya in with my copic's. I have used a flower from Maya Road and used some spellbinder dies.

Hello all!! Thanks so much for stopping bye today. I have a little project to show you I finally got to do. I saw this on Renee's blog and just had to give it a go. These would make great little gifts to give out. It is a chap stick holder.
I have used the Pure of Heart again for this one. I am just loving the Diane Duda stamp, it is from the fundraiser images over at Sugar Nellie, and by the way the sale is still on for the Diane Duda stamps so I hope you have headed over and gotten yours.
I used papers from SU and not for sure of the patterned paper it was just a scrap I had. but I have colored her with my copics and added some ribbon from my stash. The patterned paper I distressed some around the edges.
Here is a picture of the inside, sorry not a very good picture, it was a little late when I got the picture took.

Pure of Heart!!

Good Morning all!!! Yes it is Monday and I am not at work lol I have to go to the dentist today so took a vacation day. Hopefully this will be my last visit for awhile lol

I saw this idea on a blog awhile back (forgot who sorry) but it is a gum holder. My granddaughter is always loving it when I make her things so since she loves to chew gum so much I thought I would make this for her. I have used the Pure of Heart from Sugar Nellie in the Diane Duda collection. I colored her with my copic's and have used some older papers from MME. I just added some little flowers from a SU punch and added little flat pearls to the inside. This was really easy to make. Below I will tell you how I done it if you would like to try it out. Sugar Nellie has a large selection of Diane's stamps on sale so go grab them before the sale is off. These images are so cute and so easy to color. Great time to get them while they are on sale.
Here is a pic of the inside of the holder.




I took a piece of card stock 2 1/2 by 12.
Scored it at 2, 2 3/4, 7, 7 1/2.
I took the oval punch from SU and punched the holder for the gum on the end of the 7 1/2 scored end, I left about a 1/2 inch from the end and punched there.
I also scored in the middle of the oval so it would lay flat.
I used some score tape and taped it shut at the 2 3/4 fold. and used a magnet to hold it together and then decorated the front of the holder.
This holder was made for the Trident layers gum but I am sure you can get the idea to make your own measurements for the package of gum you choose.

Hope I explained that well enough if not and you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Well need to head out. Hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping bye. Sending Big Hugs (((((((((())))))))))))

Hugs to you!!!




I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!! I had my oldest granddaughter for the weekend and we both had fun playing and stamping lol She is 6 and loves coloring like her grandma lol


I have managed to make a few cards for some challenges. This card is for Friday Sketchers there is always a lovely sketch there to follow and this one was so awesome to do. I used April Showers from Sugar Nellie from the new Manga release. I tell you I am just in love with these Manga images. I have colored her with my copic's and have used the most gorgeous papers from K&Co. Oh when I saw these I just had to get them, since purple is my favorite color. lol

The flower is made from the tutorial from Bev using the spellbinders blossom, and I have used the L-em branch punch. The wording is from Simon Says Stamp and used punches from SU for it.


Then over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp they also have a gorgeous sketch and I have used this cute little rascal from I Brake for Stamps,he is called Kane. He is so adorable and I just cut him out instead of using the circle template on the sketch for I wanted the background stamp to show through. It is also from I Brake for Stamps. The background stamp says YES!!! Isn't that cool!!! The wording is computer generated and I have used one of the MS punches. I left this one pretty plain so the background stamp could be seen. The papers I have used are from BoBunny.
And here is another one of those adorable Manga images from Sugar Nellie, this one is Bloom and Grow. I made this card for the challenge sketch over at Sketchy Colors. And this is another wonderful sketch I will be using again. I have colored her with my copic's and the papers are from DCWV, and of course they are purple lol I used the flourish from BossKut and added some flat pearls to the card.


After doing the blog hop at Sugar Nellie's this weekend using the oldie's but goodies I just had to dust off and ink up my Dressing Up Maggie from Sugar Nellie. I am going to start dusting off these oldies for I do love all of them. I colored her with my copics too and used some papers that are retired from SU. And made my flowers with the retro punches and my spellbinder labels for the wording along with the SU oval punch. The wording is from Verve. This card I made for the wonderful sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

We are to have up to 9 inches by tomorrow. The wind is blowing so bad. I tell you what I had a vacation day today for I had to go to the dentist early this morning to have some work done and it took me over 1 1/2 hours to get there. I wanted to turn around so many times but made it and was never so glad to get home. I so hope the roads are much better in the early A.M when I have to go to work!!!
I took advantage of my vacation day and made a card for Papertake Weekly and used the sketch by the lovely Dawny. I used papers from BG and this image is one of the new Sugar Nellie Manga Girls!!! Isn't she darling!!!! She is called Bloom and Glow!. I colored her with my copics and left the card pretty simple for this image just had to be the attention that is for sure.
I used a brad bumble bee and the wording is from Simon Says Stamp. And the ribbon is from SU and I used one of the newer MS border punches.
Well stay in stay warm. Thanks for stopping bye and would sooooooo love to hear your comments on these adorable new Manga Girls. Which one of the them is your favorite???
