on your special day

Evening girls
I've had a bit of a crafty day on and off so have a card to show you.
Krista of Saturated Canary shared a link this morning to a new digital artist and on checking it out  I just had to buy this gorgeous girlie.


This is 'Alicia loves reading' and you'll find her here along with a few others, all of whom are just as cute.
It's been a while since I couldn't wait to get inky just for the sake of it.  I've been so busy with DT work and Christmas then New Year it was lovely to have some ME time for a change.

ingredients 
papers - Polka Doodles
sentiment - freebie from When The Scrap Hits the Fun
flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts
flourish die - Cheery Lynn Designs
copics and spellbinders

Right, I've a few more bits and bobs to get through before I fall into bed so will get to it and be a good little crafter, even if it's only for a while lol
Happy Crafting

Happy New Year and a challenge

Morning girls
I'm hoping Mr Blogger plays nice this morning and posts this for me as no doubt I'll still be in the land of nod. .We are bringing in the bells at the Chop House Brasserie in Glasgow's Merchant Square hence this schedulled post.  So...


Wishing you all a healthy, happy and peaceful 2013

Have you made any resolutions yet?
 Mine is to stop buying papers.  I've slowly but surely been using up my stash so I can by digital from now on.  I'm needing the space in the craft room and there are so many fabby digital papers out there now that I don't think it'll be a hard one to keep to.  We'll see though eh?

Would you believe I've a card for you too?
Yes, it's the first challenge of the year over on Crafty Sentiments Designs challenge and seeing as it's a brand new year we'd love to see your creations celebrating something new.

I decided on a 'New Baby' card using Baby Luke

Is he cute? Or is he cute?
I've kept the card plain and simple as I didn't want the eye distracted from the image therefor kept the embellies to a minimum but I think it works:)
ingredients:
image and sentiment - Crafty Sentiments Designs
papers - Sassy Designs
Marianne Designs
Spellbinders
 baby's rattle - cricut - New Arrival cart
ribbon and gems - stash

Oh don't forget there's also a sale on over at Crafty Sentiments Designs  store


So that's my inspiration for you today girls.  Hope the hang overs aren't too bad lol.  When I finally manage out of bed I'll be off out again to wish me Mum and Dad all the best for the coming year and then it's a family dinner back here.  Joy of joys eh?  Enjoy what's left of the festivities and  if you can't be good then that makes two of us:)
