Funky Hair

Looks like I'm on a roll now! lol

This is my entry for this weeks Sugar Nellie Facebook group challenge. Isn't she gorgeous? She is called Hippy Chick. This weeks challenge is Funky Hair. I'm very proud of this one and hope you like it too


The photos make her hair and the backing paper look sort of blue, but IRL they're purple.
The image is coloured in with my ProMarkers. The papers are Kaisercraft La-Di-Da Collection. The 'lace' is made using a Martha Stewart punch and everything else is from my stash.

All comments welcome. Thanks for looking

Christmas in July

Have you started your Christmas cards yet? I'm well on with mine thanks to a group I joined on Facebook back in January called Sundays With Santa. Every week there is a theme and you are encouraged to make a Christmas card using that theme. We are already on week 29, so by December I will have about 46 cards! There's no prize as such, but the satisfaction I will feel come November will be enough. I must confess though I've only completed 19 of the 29 weeks, but am determined to play catch up over the next couple of weeks!

Here is the card I have made for week 26 - Animals. Hopefully penguins can be classed as animals? The digi stamp was June's freebie from DigiStamp Boutique



I've coloured her in with my ProMarkers and added some Glamour Dust on the snow.

I am also entering this in the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers - animal crackers
DigiStamp Boutique - July customer competition
Sketch N Stash - sketch and stash (green ribbon & snowflake peeloffs I've had for years!)
Pollycraft Monday - Christmas in July
Crafty Creations - Christmas in July
Fussy and Fancy - Christmas in July

My 1st Sugar Nellie

Wow! I can't believe its been over a year since I posted on here! Where does the time go???

Well life's had its ups and downs but I have still been making cards in between :D

Here is my latest creation using my 1st Sugar Nellie stamp. Isn't she gorgeous? She is called 5th Avenue from the Simply Sassy collection.

As you may know blue is not usually my thing, but it is this weeks challenge on the Sugar Nellie Facebook group and I thought I'd give it a go. I hope you like it?!




The photos have come out a bit dark so I might try to take better ones later. The image is coloured in with my ProMarkers. The papers are free printables, but I can't find where I downloaded them from sorry. The 'lace' is made using a Fiskars border punch and everything else is from my stash.
