Winnie Sugar Sprinkles... Sister....


Whoohooo second post for today :) I am on a roll...... Here is a card that I made with the Cameo from one of the Tags that are in the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles collection from Polkadoodles... So loving the new cuties that Nikky illustrated for us to play with ;) I used a wordart and a stamp and combined them with the thaught of using a precoloured wordart with the stamp but I forgot hubby had the laserprinter set to only print black and white :) so guess I had to colour it all by myself :) heheheheh was a nice challenge as it was all grey shades the wordart Not the Winnie girlie she was normal Black and White as always :) Coloured with watercolouring pencils :)


I am playing the following challenges...

It's a special kind of day.....


Here is a picture of my crafting desk :) it is called Micke from Ikea ;) works perfect I only need more shelves so I can organize other colour materials on the right ;) 


Just had to colour this one up today. It is a Tatty Twinkle stamp yes again.... hahahaha I wanted to colour out of my compfy zone with this as I would never use these colours together but they are in the backing papers so thaught let's give it a try ;) and I am not sure it worked hahahahhaa

I am playing a couple challenges with it :)
I followed the sketch from:

hope you enjoyed my card ;)

Tatty Twinkles- Sending you extra special wishes...

A good early morning to you :)
day 2 of being out bed wayyy to early but I could not longer stay in bed, so there I was at 5:15 making a card :) I coloured this Tatty Twinkles last night with watercolour pencils. I am trying to challenge me to colour smaller detailed images :) this Tatty is printed just 7 cm high ;) so had to use a tiny brush for some parts but I am very happy with how it turned out ;) it is easier to colour larger stamps but you have to make HUGE cards to fit the images then ;) now the whole card can be small :) and so much easier to find envelopes for :) hahahhaha
You can find this Tatty Twinkle as a clear stamp or as a digital stamp on the Ultimate Tatty Stamp CD. Papers and sentiment are also from the CD. I used an Darice embossingfolder and used the Spring Blooms and Florentine Flourish Tattered Lace Dies.

I am playing the following challenges..

Well hope you all have a wonderfull day and I hope to catch up on some sleep later ;)

Lily Bug Love- Hi.....


HAPPY Thursday all, the sun is shining here but it is COLD ;)  so I am staying inside close to the woodburner hehehe So today I am showing you a tagholder, I followed a tutorial once and last week I saw someone post a similar card so thaught heck yes that is fun to do again after all that time :) but I don't know where I got the original tutorial from as it is quit easy just fold a cardbase diagonal and glue the inner folds together so you get the tag holder(s) 
I used the Lily Bug Love collection from Polkadoodles for mine as I had alot of leftover bits and papers and that worked out perfect for me ;) so almost no leftover left now hahahaha
I coloured Lily Bug Love with watercolouring pencils and white molotow markers for the dots.

I stuck 2 tags in the pocket.

You can decorate as much or as little as you want ;) I needed to get rid of alot of tiny bits of papers :) that where leftover from cardmaking ;) such a shame to throw it away Don't you think :)
And the back Normally you have a pocket here as well  but I decided to glue that pocket away :) didn't needed it hahahahhaa


I am playing the following challenges....

Hope you enjoy my pocket tag card :)
