Autumn/Fall

Well for those that visited my blog on Monday you will have read my kitchen news and the good news is, the workmen arrived and work is now underway - the bad news is I have no kitchen for 3 weeks and my living room is out of action too as I'm getting new flooring throughout both!  Hopefully next visit it will be all smiles and a progress report, but for now, back to Team A again and the latest challenge at MAWTT, and this time we are looking for creations relating to

Autumn/Fall

So for my card I went for autumnal colours and this gorgeous sweetie from Wee Stamps!

The stamp was a new purchase pre coloured digi, but my papers are from the back of the drawer and were a favourite of mine a couple of years ago (Bo Bunny).

Challenges;

Fairies

Hi everyone, I'm the hostess this time at MAWTT and today I have chosen

Fairies

as my theme.  There are so many gorgeous fairies out there, so the problem this challenge is deciding which to use.  Again I've gone with a super sweet Wee Stamp image all ready coloured. and paired her with some old papers, and a fancy die.

I was really pleased with how well the colours on this one matched - not always that easy with pre coloured stamps, but today it was possible with the papers I had.

Challenges;

Christmas Cuties

This hasn't happened in a very long time! Two posts from me in the same day! Can't quite believe it myself actually but here is the proof, a second card and this time its a Christmas card!

And the reason for the second post, is that I was lucky enough to be asked by Lisa at the Christmas With The Cuties if I'd like to guest design.  Clearly the answer was yes and the card below was made following their current theme of,

Holly

So, initially my card was going to just feature holly, but in a last minute switch this Christmas Cutie was purchased from Wee Stamps as I thought she filled the challenge better!

Papers are oldies from a few years back, I think by Fancy Pants but to be honest I'm not sure!

A Snowflakes Promise - Anything Goes
Season's Greetings - Anything Goes

Miley's Back on her Wrecking Ball!

A quick post today to share another Christmas card with you.  Again I have used my Wee Stamp and Craft Creations papers.  Colouring is by Promarker then lots of glitter and snow added.

Challenges
I Love Promarkers - Anything Goes
SSW 234 - sorry it's the same image as a couple of weeks back, but it was requested by a friend!

Winter Wonderland - A Christmas Mouse
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite digi & why.  Well it's my favourite digi at the moment as I'm on a Christmas run.  I love Wee Stamps and don't have that many yet, but they are all so sweet!  Finally this image reminds me of Miley Cyrus in a more innocent get up and in so doing, makes me smile.

Miley Mouse!

This morning, little Merlot, or Lotty as he has already become was at the vets for his second round of vaccinations.  All went well and he has been given ear drops as he has mucky lugs, but apart from that he is fine and this time next week he will be allowed outside at last!  Today however he is zonked after his meds - it was the same last time and he slept pretty much the rest of the day after the vet.

So, this gives me time to craft, with a new digi - another super one from Wee Stamps, coloured with Promarkers them given a little bit of glitter here & there.  Papers are Craft Creations then I finished things off with die cut & punched snowflakes, a ribbon and blobs of liquid pearls.
