Sugar Nellie!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!! Well since my computer crashed last week I am so behind getting my dt cards uploaded for Sugar Nellie. I had them made just didn't get them posted. So figured I would get this done today. I really hate to post them all at once but these Mary Hall images are just so darling. These pictures just do not do the images justice. I don't know what it is but my pictures are not taking good here lately.

This image here is called Daisy Chain Fairy's from Sugar Nellie. I have colored them with my copic's and spica glitter pens. This gorgeous paper is from K&Co. I am really not sure of the sentiment but have used some SU punches for the wording.

This cutie is the Butterfly Fairy, she is also colored with my copics and the papers are from K&Co also. I so love K&Co papers don't you? I have used some Prima flowers with a gem brad in the center and the bosskut flourish die. Added some flat pears to the bottom corner, and this paper is so sparkly.

Now look at these cute little elves!!! They are so much in love here. They are also colored with my copic's and I have used papers from BG on this card. The daisy border punch from MS and some satin ribbon from SU. The button brads are from my stash,

Now this card here I made today for the challenge over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. My papers are from SU and these gorgeous fairy's from Sugar Nellie are so darling. Not a care in the world. I used the MS border punch and really don't know of the sentiment it was in my stamps with no name lol.

Well I hope you have enjoyed seeing these wonderful Fairy's and Elves from the Mary Hall collection at Sugar Nellie. Again I am so sorry for posting these all at once, but when my computer crashed I had no choice.

Oh and got a call today on the price for fixing my computer!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I hope these hackers out there really enjoy tearing things up for people. They must not have much else to do!!!

But please stay tuned and keep stalking Sugar Nellie for I am telling you there is lots going on there and you are all going to be loving it.

Birthday Mail

Morning to you all!!! Well it is the finally day of the weekend, boy they sure go so fast. I only have to work 4 days this week for I am taking a couple days off. So ready for them too lol

Today I would like to show you a couple of cards I made for some challenges. I really don't know why my pictures are not looking so great. They just seem to not have the right lighting and they really don't look this bad in real life. So please try to image them a little better lol I hope to one day get this fixed.

For my first card I have used one of the Greeting Farm images for the Farm Fresh Friday Challenge. I have colored Anya in with my copic's. And added some gorgeous Cherry Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the leaf die from SU. I used the daisy border punch from MS and added some stickles to the nestiblities and some gems to the corners of the card.

Then for Sketch Saturday I used Charlotte from the mail collection from Whiff Of Joy, she is sending someone some special birthday greetings here lol I have used papers from Cloud 9 and again those gorgeous Cherry Blossoms and Aster Daisy's from Wild Orchid Crafts on my card along with the MS branch.

She has been colored with copic's and spica glitter pens, and ribbon and gems are from my stash.

I am setting here writing up the post looking at the card that is pictured here and looking at my card on my desk and they look so different. If anyone has any good tutorials for taking pictures oh please let me know I am using my daylight lamp to take them but they are just so light..

Thanks for stopping bye and I do hope you all will enjoy the rest of the weekend, I had a wonderful day yesterday with my little grandson, he was really very good and we had a blast.
