Oh this was so much fun I really enjoyed doing this , it had been some time since I had done this.

I have chosen this adorable Hanglar image that I got from a very dear sweet friend. I have used papers from MME on her outfit and clothes and the rest was colored in with my copic’s. I used some stamps from Inkadinkado for the wording in the corners and I also used a bosskut flourish. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and the ribbon I used was just from my stash.

Well the weekend is over almost!!! I did manage to get the weekend off, and after getting my bedroom finally all redone and everything put back Saturday I managed some play time the rest of the evening and today.

Here is my card for the Sugar Bowl, there is a lovely sketch this time by Lilian. I have used my papers from Bo Bunny and one of my new images from Sugar Nellie that was in my Dt package. Oh I so love this new sugar and spice collection. This image is called Raven (so adorable). If you have not ordered your images from this collection you should for they are just so wonderful to color. I have seen several out in blog land.
Anyway back to my card. I have used some snowflake punches from McGill and MS and have added some snowflake charms and a peel off from Starform for my wording. I have colored my image in with my copic's. So hope to see you all over at the Sugar Bowl!!!

This is a pizza box that I made just for fun and have used one of the Christmas images from Sugar Nellie called Christmas Eve Girl and she is from the Mary Hall collection. I have used papers from BG and SU and my wording is from Cuddly Buddly. Ribbon is from my stash and the poinsettia is from the Hobby House. My image has been colored in with my copics and I added some lace to the side of the box.

This is a card I made for a couple of challenges. Mojo Monday for a wonderful sketch and the Copic Creation and that challenge is to color a snowman. I have used papers from October Afternoon and my image if from Cuddly Buddly. Colored with my copics as always lol I used my nestibilites and punches from SU for the wording and the wording is from The Angel Company.

Another challenge here is a sketch from the wonderful Dawny P for the Papertake Challenge. I have not been able to participate with them for some time so made sure while I had some time to do so this week. I have used BG papers and an ever so cute image from Whiff of Joy this is Oakley with ornament isn't he so handsome??? I have colored him with my copics. and have used a Christmas flourish from Inkadinkado. The wording is a peel off from Starform and I have used a nameplate from SU.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

Good Evening!!! Yes it is me again lol I got so fed up with the wallpaper I decided to spend some more time playing. So I made this cute little box that I found on Kirsten's blog, this girl is just so talented I could get lost in time just going through her blog. I followed her template for this gorgeous box and I used one of my Sugar Nellie stamps from my DT package. I have used Poinsettia and she has been colored in with my copic's. I just love coloring these stamps for they are just so easy to color. I used the Magnolia Silent Night stamp for the background on the square nestibilites die. I added Christmas flourishes from Inkadinkado around the top and some lace with some paper flowers from Prima and my new branch punch. The papers I used are from BG and I added some flat pears around the side on top of the MS border punch.

Here is a close up of the top ( sorry about the glare on this one)

I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend. I got some free time this evening to make this project for my Sugar Nellie DT. I found the tutorial over at Kirsten's Blog I had seen so many of these and just had to try it. I really had fun doing it, I thought it was going to be really hard but after getting started I so enjoyed it.

I have used Santa's Little helper by Sugar Nellie. She has been colored with my Copic's and I used some flower soft for the fur on her coat. I used one of the circle nestiblities and from SU I used the ticket punch and also my wording and the punches for it are from SU. I used some Paper roses I had in my stash and used the MS branch punch along with the bosskut leaves. The ribbon is just from my stash.

Here is a top view showing a 3 of the drawers, there are a total of 4 drawers . I used some hinges from Debbie's Die Cuts for the handles of each of the boxes.

Here is a picture of the inside. I used some stamps from Inkadinkado, and I have used rangers distressed vintage ink all around the edges of the paper.

Thanks so much for stopping bye I so appreciate your wonderful comments and for all the lovely emails I have received about my blog. Means so very much to me. Have a good evening
