This is an image from Prairie fairydesigns and is called pretty Gillian, isn’t she just the cutest.. I had a lot of fun colouring this image.. i used copics to colour her and then added some glossy accents to her glasses to represent the glass, some stickles on her necklace.. after seeing the fabulous card box that Donalda had done on her blog..

Good morning all. Hope that you have all had a fabulous weekend.  I have my hubby home so mine was the best.. He is still home today so this post is going to be short and sweet..

Brrr what a chilly morning..  was in Tesco’s at 7am and was frozen! I have made this Christmas card using one of the sugar Nellie images from last year, he is so sweet.. I have used some scrap papers for this card which i went round with my sewing machine. I added a couple of snowflake charms and a  pearl brad .. the pearl brad is from The hobby house . I am just loving these

An oldie but Goldie image today.. i seem to be leaning towards the older sugar Nellie images at the moment.. not sure why… i do love this sweetheart of an image, isn’t she gorgeous! This card is larger than my normal 6 x 6”  card and is 7” x 7”.... it’s surprising what a little bit extra room makes.. i was surprised..  making the card this size meant that i could use the largest of my

so i thought that i would join in with my card for today.. why not join in yourself.. after all anything goes.. just pop on over to the A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blog for all the details and to add your entry. While clearing out my room i found a few images that were already coloured in a folder!! so thought that i would use these up.. . only prob is that they were sat in

this card combines one of Mo Manning’s images and one of the sentiments from lily of the valley . I think that the two of them work brilliantly together.. this fairy is from a set of four.. all equally cute.. the papers are from nitwit collections and is from the cottage charm collection. the flowers are wild orchid crafts and the pins and self adhesive pearls are from my stash..

I just loved this image .. as you can guess by now i love images that are full of character.. and this one just screamed out to me.. lol.. Super genius  is a digital image which can be purchased via Kenny k. this card is very clean and very simple… but i really don’t think that it needs anything more..
