A very difficult decison has finally been made

Good evening girls
I just wanted to let everyone know that I've taken the decision to step down from the Funky Fairy's Design Team.
I've loved every minute of being a part of Funky Fairy's and have had the chance to create with some lovely girls but it's time for me to move on and try other things.
I know Shaz will continue to make the most fabulous papers and wish her and the other remaining girls the best of everything.

Digital Delights Friday Freebie

Remember girls our Freebie Friday at Digital Delights has moved to our groups at Papercraft Planet and SNR Card Universe!!
You'll need to join one or both of our groups to get the image without the watermark . You'll find it under the subject Freebie Friday in the discussions area.
Why not use the freebie to enter our sketch challenge 11? There's still loads of time to get your entries in and we'd love to see your creations with this little cutie pie!!


I've used last years K & Co Swell Noel papers, am still trying to use up my stash, it's almost all gone now so I'll be treating myself to some of the gorgeous Christmas stacks I've been seeing around. I then cut some backers and stars with my cricut, mounted the image and the sentiment which was computer generated. I then added the ribbon, bling and stickles to finish it off.
I even managed a few challenges to am a happy bunny today:)

1. Creative Card Crew - ribbons and gems
2. Just Buggin - just bling it
3. Sassy Susie's Challenge - Christmas
4. Crafty Cardmakers - stamping
5. Charisma Cardz - sketch

Check out me new watermark - thanks Elaine

Good morning girls
I hope your all fine and dandy and ready for a fun day of crafting. Unfortunately some of us are off to work:( but no work means no pennies for crafty spends doesn't it? So off I'll trot just shortly but I'll just load last nights card and show off my new watermark which my forum buddy Elaine very kindly made for me
I'd a commission for a card with a dinosaur on, so of course it had to be a Dustin Pike image. His images are just brilliant aren't they? I just hope Zachary likes this little fella as much as I do.
The papers are from the new Funky Fairy's kit 'More for the Men' but believe me these are suitable for all sorts not just the dreaded mans card.
I just love my digi papers, I know most people prefer to buy but for me to print what I need when I need it is just the bees knees. It works out cheaper too, my ink lasts for ages before it needs replacing plus you always have more.

I've distressed quite a bit of this card just by dragging a brown ink pad over parts of the image and the sentiments so it fits nicely into the challenge over on Bee Crafty this week.
Right, had better run for me train!

Funky Fairy's - Challenge 41

Oh girls I forgot to schedule me post!!!! What a bad fairy I am lol
With all the pc problems I'm having just now I seem to be spending more time sorting that than crafting or blogging.
Anyway, straight on to the challenge which this week is Fall. So over at Funky Fairy's would love you to create something with autumnal colours or themed.

I used Dots are Distressing papers for this one, cut the little squirrel and all the other elements with my cricut and if I say so myself it's not half bad lol

As always to be in with a chance of winning a Funky Fairy download you must use at least one Funky Fairy paper on your creation.There are loads of freebies on the Inspirational Blog and of course if you'd like to buy some of these gorgeous papers then there is the Funky Fairys Papercrafts Shop where you will be spoilt for choice.

All White and Sparkly

but a terrible pic!!! Sorry about that girls but try as I might I just couldn't get a decent on of this. Probably due to the lack of colour, well that's me excuse and am sticking to it lol

The challenge on Colour Create this week was to use only white on your creation apart from your image, and what a challenge it was lol. Apart from taking the pic which was a challenge in itself I actually found this quite difficult. I love all white cards and thought it was time I had a little bash myself but let me tell you this is the first and most definitely the last!!!
First off I layered some matt white paper which I'd cut with my Martha Stewart punch onto some linen card. I then cut the nestie type shapes, rocking horse and stars with my cricut. Embossed some bits with the cuttlebug using the snowflakes and swiss dots folders. Once it was all assembled I added some lovely pale pink stickles to the mane, tail and saddle and a few sparkly gems to the top.
I think I may use this as a baby's first Christmas card, am not too sure yet whether or not a sentiment will spoil it. I'll need to have another little play I think.

1. Colour Create - all white
2. Simon Says - add a little sparkle
3. Paper Cutz - stars
