Another Not So Random Squirrel Challenge :-)

For the next two months over at Squirrel's Not So Random Challenge we are hosting a White plus One Other Colour challenge. Now, before you go running for the hills (as I did) this isn't nearly as tricky as it sounds. You're allowed skin and hair colours :-) And with Christmas coming you could always use a snowman!!!

I've used a sweet Sugar Nellie image sent to me by the lovely Sue Hastead :-) It's the first time I've coloured her up and she's just lovely!

I thought for a dreadful minute I was going to have to go all CAS - but never fear, once I got going there was no stopping those embellishments from piling on :-) Phew!

You've got two months to enter so there's really NO excuse! Sending hugs, Jayne xx

Halloween At My Besties UK Challenge

Here's the thing. I love, love, love making Halloween cards :-) But just what do you do with them when you've made them? I don't have a Halloween party and I'm not sure who I'd send a happy Halloween card to. It's a puzzle. I do know a little girl whose birthday is on Halloween but is a Halloween card for a birthday the done thing?? But I really love making the cards and I love Halloween itself. I shall stop twittering.

This month over at My Besties UK Challenge Blog our challenge is Halloween with the usual Anything Goes alternative. I chose this image because I LOVE her :-)

You can find her here. I also used some digi papers from the Sherri Baldy etsy shop. All just utterly delish :-)

It's a fabulous challenge and there are some great prizes up for grabs!

Thank you for visiting :-) Hugs, Jayne x

Use Ribbon at Crafty Ribbons Challenge

It's a super easy one this week over at the Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog. All you need to do to enter is a make a card featuring ribbon. I used this gorgeous bias binding Christmas ribbon which you can find here.

I bought a pad of images to colour from The Hobby House and they're all super cute :-) I coloured this one when my arm was really sore so it's a little on the dodgy side ;-)

Aww, I really love this little image :-)

So that's me for today. It's been quite a rough week and I'm just shattered. The only positive to come from it is that having grandma go to hospital has meant that she's been assessed for all kinds of help at home. Hopefully she'll be getting more grab rails and various aids to help her about the house. She hasn't broken any bones but does look very battered :-(

Thank you for stopping by. I really hope you get the chance to join in the Challenge over at Crafty Ribbons xx

Another Grand Entrance :-)

This is the second card I made with the Crafter's Companion Grand Entrance die.

I really love this fancy die and think it will have to go on to my wish list :-) I've teamed it up with the LOTV Wedding Couple stamp. This is still my favourite LOTV stamp!

Sorry I haven't been visiting blogs lately :-( The girls have been unwell and then my Gran took a tumble in the night and it's just been chaos here!!

Hope that you're having a great week. Hugs, Jayne x

Grand Entrance!

A lady in the craft class bought this Grand Entrance gate die months ago but didn't know quite what to do with it so she gave it to me to have a play :-) It's just the prettiest die and I love it. I used it with the new Sheena Douglass Christmas stamps :-)

Sorry about the photo work - they were taken in a hurry!!

I coloured the image quickly with copics and added the Stampendous Sparkle Puff, which adds sparkly snow. What a genius product :-)

I sponged on some blue and purple pixie powders for the sky and added an Inkylicious santa in the sky.

Hope you're having a great week. There's all sorts of bugs going round at school and both girls are under the weather :-( I'm sure it's great for their immune systems to be fighting these things off. Hugs, Jayne xx 

Birthday at Crafty Ribbons

This week at Crafty Ribbons our challenge is Birthday (with lace or ribbon). I've used this super cute Woodware Owl and done a bit of paper piecing. We're making this in the class on Sunday :-)

Aww this owl is super cute and the ribbon is perfect! I've used Spring Owl Ribbon is Birthday Pink found here.

I sure hope the ladies are up for more paper piecing on Sunday!!!

Thank you for stopping by, Jayne xx

My Besties UK Same But Different

This month My Besties UK and are all using this pretty Sherri Baldy image. I just love to see how differently all the DT members have used the same image!

This is what I did:

She is just so pretty :-) I've teamed her up with NitWit papers and just about every embellishment going!!!

You can purchase the image here.

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Jayne xx
