Kimmie's Fabulous Candy ~ Go Create

Kimmie over at Kraftin' Kimmie's Korner is offering the most beautiful candy, just look at those scrummy Magnolia's and for this Kimmie is asking us to create a card or item with the same layout as her beautiful day planner/notebook, i saw this and thought what a wonderful idea, I've recently to my dismay discovered bloggers that have blogs just to enter candy give aways and i am sure that those of us who give candy away do not mean it to go to people like this but for it to go to bloggers who enjoy being creative and will find enjoyment from the items they win...... (sorry i'm ranting......) well Kimmie seems to have solved this problem this time by asking us to create a card or money card as mine is.....so here is my interpretation of Kimmies note book, i used MM Noteworthy DP and Bazzill CS the flowers are also from the MM Noteworthy collection of embellishments and the brad is beautiful Hodge Podge Hardware....the cute image is a stamp by Lizzie Anne....

I hope you like it......Well what are you waiting for, copics or prisma's at the ready and go get creatin'...............

Ingredients: DP Making Memories Noteworthy ~ CS Bazzill ~ Stamp Lizzie Anne ~ Hodge Podge Brad ~ Flowers Making Memories Noteworthy Collection ~ Ribbon From Stash ~ Tools Nesties ~ SU Punch...

Talking of gorgeous Magnolia candy, did you all see the sneaky peek at the new stamps from Magnolia, they're called the School Collection and i am positively drooling......yummy Scrummy i have to have them all, if these previews are anything to go by.......what do you think.......?

Cute Card Thursday ~ Animals Only ~ Thank Ewe......

Happy Monday, OMG did i just say that, how horrid are Mondays when you have to go to work, i think that it's the thought of five more days before the weekend...LOL I'm not really laughing at all, oh well at least i get Tuesday and Thursday at home WooooHooo

The challenge over at Cute card Thursday this week is Animals Only, yep you can only use animals on your cards.......i was so lucky with this one, today these beautiful Elzybells stamps arrived on my doormat and i just thought perfect...... CCT challenge Animals Only, and here is my creation, I used the new papers i got after seeing them in Papercraft Inspirations they're called Chick a do0 by SEI there is also a pink set called Chick a dee aren't they just the cutest papers you've ever seen, this is the fourth card I've made using them, I'll be showing you the other creations later in the week, i just feel so happy when i see these papers, they are like sunshine on a page..... this card is going to Elizabeth at Elzybells to say a huge thank you for my wonderful candy....... I used my slit punch from Stampin Up again, i love this punch i think it may well end up my most used item...i just can't stop using it....i also used Doodlebug rub-ons for the sentiment i wanted a specific Thank Ewe so used rub-ons instead of a stamp....

I have to say these papers are so much better and the colours stand out so much more in real life so to speak....

Don't forget to check out Elzybells, the vast majority of Elizabeths stamps are now available unmounted which means more ease of storage....which in turn means we can buy more Woooooohoooooo

Amazing Candy From Elizabeth At Elzybells..... Thank You So Much.....

OMG last week was amazing, I've never won Candy before, in fact i never win anything, but as long as my life is running quite smoothly i am always happy.

I entered into a blog candy challenge over at Elzybells in June and with every thing happening with Gizmo i completely forgot about it, then a lady Lorien contacted me to tell me I'd won, i thought it odd as it ended ages ago, but two of the ladies that won the original candy did not contact Elizabeth, hang your head in shame...Well their misfortune was my fortune, Elizabeth drew the names again and out popped my name.....yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss i was so pleased then these wonderful things arrived on my door mat, aren't they just gorgeous, a magazine, not one but two sets of Elzybells clear stamps and lots of unmounted stamps with Cling-on to mount them with, all wrapped up in hand stamps paper, Elizabeth you thought of everything thank you so very much.... I hope you will all make a visit to Elzybells webshop to check out the new range of unmounted and Clear stamps, after all with unmounted you can store them easily which means you can buy lots more to.......and at these prices you will......hehehehe

Mojo Monday #46 ~ Bugs And Kisses

I'm actually posting this on Saturday evening but dating it Sunday as i don't know if I'll get to post tomorrow, I'm going to be a busy bee catching up on paper work (how horrid can you get)

I'm not quite sure if this is allowed, i don't have the round nestabilities yet (they are on my wish list) so i used the oval set i do have, Over at Poetic Artistry there is a new sketch Julee creates beautiful sketches every Monday you really should make a visit and have a go, i really did like the look of this one and knew what i wanted to do as soon as i saw it, Claudia sent me some stamped images a while back and a few were whippersnapper designs which i have none of, aren't they cute, i really love this little lady bug in particular, i think I'll have to put them on my wish list to....

I used some papers I've had for an absolute age, they are Daisy D's Chasing Butterflies and the Hardware is Hodge Podge, i am totally in love with this stuff, I've never seen such well made brads and and hardware, i am so glad i ordered them and even more glad i just ordered another three tins.....Shhhhhhh Hubby doesn't know.....hehehehehe, i created a hand written sentiment only it didn't turn out so good as my hands are playing up today and my hand writing is terrible on these days...

Ingredients ~ CS Bazzill ~ PP Daisy D's ~ Image Whippersnapper ~ Inktense Pencils ~ MM Snaps ~ Hodge Podge Hardware ~ Ribbon From Stash

Well it's nearly midnight and I'm exhausted..... so Night Night Sleep Tight Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite.....hehehe
