Simply Adorable

Hello dear friends!!! Boy the weekend has blown bye hasn’t it?? I finally managed to get some play time in so thought I would share what I have been up to.

 

My first card I have to share with you today is one of the soon to be released digital images from Sugar Nellie from the Simply Adorable line. And adorable these are.  Look at this adorable newborn here!!! Oh so precious !!! I have colored her in pink and with my copic’s. I used a MS punch around the page and a spellbinder die for my card and just added some flat bling to the image. The sentiment is from Verve. These will soon be released so start watching Funky Kits to get yours NOW.

My next card to show you today is from the adorable line of the winged friends from Bildmalarna and isn’t she just gorgeous?? I have colored her with my copic’s and have used some papers from SU along with some ribbon. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the border is from MS. I used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers and the challenge over at Paper Sundaes where you add your pick of toppings and I have chosen the color pink and flowers.

Yes another Simply Adorable from Sugar Nellie. Oh this one is my youngest grandson up one side and down the other. He is such a train freak. lol So this image was just perfect. I know what his birthday card is going to made with. And in just a few weeks too. This adorable young man has been colored with my copics and the papers are digital papers from Cuddlebuzz. The sentiment is computer generated and I have used one of SU border punches and just added some flat bling to it. I used the sketch over at the Sugar Bowl for this card.

Happy 16th !!

Long time here for me !!! I have been so swamped at work that it has but my crafting on the back burner. We have started up new models at work and this time of year is very busy for us. I leave in the dark and get home in the dark. But as of today I am on Christmas Vacation. The factory starts back up the 3rd but since I am having my surgery Tuesday I get some extra time off. GHEEZZ what a way to spend my vacation. Oh well it has to be done.

 

I am a little behind in my images for the new release over at Funky Kits for the new images by Krista at Sugar Nellie so I got a card made for my grandson. He is going to be the big 16 next month, and thought this was the perfect image to use for his card.  The image is called Number #1 Fan. Don’t you just love those eyes? I told you on release that these would be a huge sell out and they were but I know Karen got more in so if you didn’t get them the 1st time around go grab them now.

 

I have colored him with my copic’s and used a chipboard star and added a cut out 16 and added some stickles to it. The doily is a Marianne die that a very sweet dear lady sent me. I just love this die.

 

Well I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will be scheduling some posts for my blog with some more Sugar Nellie images while I am in the hospital so hope you will stop back bye. Merry Christmas Everyone from my family to yours !!!!!!!
