Lost Ladybird...

Morning Fluffers :)

I'm coming at you with a double today, Peeps, so I'll try and keep this brief and to the point! Monday morning means time for a Cupcake and this week, Shelly has chosen June Bug. You'll have to pop over to Cupcake for the deets and to see the fabby creations from the rest of The Cupcakes. But, for the purposes of what I'm about to tell you, you need to include a bug of some kind.

Quite early on, I decided my bug was going to be a ladybird. It had to be a ladybird, no other bug would do...

I knew I'd seen a stamp somewhere in my collection with a ladybird near a girls foot. So, out came all the stamps. I spent quite a lot of time looking for it, to no avail. I'll be honest, I got a bit cross. On my travels, I came across a Topper with a girl with a ladybird by her foot. Although I knew it wasn't the one I'd been thinking about, I made something with her... she's down there.

Of course, about two hours after I finished the card up there, I was doing some bits for Little Miss Muffet, and there she was! Typical!! I'm sure you can imagine what I said...

Mythical Creatures

 Morning Fluffers :)

 You know by now, Monday morning means time for a Cupcake. This week, Lovely Minxie has chosen Mythical Creatures... Goblins, or Fairies, or Unicorns, you get the gist. We're sponsored by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, who have plenty of images that would fit this theme perfectly. Barbara, who is The, Little Miss, also joins us as a Guest Designer. 

I was a bit Away With The Fairies when I started this card, maybe as I was skipping between about three different jobs, but anyway, I decided to go with Fairies. I coloured Celeste in the morning, then, because I was flitting between so many things, it was dark by the time I got to working on the layout. At which point, I decided that the papers I'd chosen before I coloured her to match, didn't go at all and I'd have to start again. It was only birthday cake that got me out of The Flufferie and I didn't go back until the following morning. Back in daylight, I decided it all went together ok after all! Birthday cake is fab in so many ways!

 
I'd like to enter this card at Sketchy Friday:

Two's Company

Morning Fluffers :)

I know, I was a little quiet last week. But, we were on holiday. Whoop! We had a lovely time. However, I'd like to know exactly how our house got so grubby with no one in it for a week? How? There is no way, no way, I left it like that. As he bundled me into the car, Very Understanding Hubby promised burglars don't mind if the house is untidy. We skidded away about thirty three seconds after that, me hyperventilating as I realised I was no longer connected to the Internet...

So, got time for a Cupcake? Yep, me too! ;) This week, Shelly has chosen Two's Company. We'd like to see two images in your, erm, image! We're sponsored by My Mum's Craft Shop and Stamp Fairy. Pop over to Cupcake for all the deets...

Le Tour de France

Morning Fluffers :)

It's the first of two posts from me today, so let's get this party started... This time on a Monday morning, can only mean it's time for a Cupcake!

This week, lovely Shelly has chosen Le Tour De France. We'd like to see anything French or Le Tour De France related, wine, food, Eiffel Tower, colours, flag, cycling... get the gist? Play along and you could win a voucher to spend at Sew Sweet.

I was determined to use this stripey paper and I wanted to colour up something in softer colours than I normally use. Seems like even my soft colours have come out quite loud. And the light was bad when I took these photo's! Anyway, I used the paper I wanted, even if I couldn't get any others to 'work' with it.

I'll be back in a few hours...

Plan B

Morning Muffins!

Time for a fabby new Challenge over at Cupcake, and this week, Shelly has chosen an absolute corker; Take a leaf out of my book. Basically, we would like leaves to be the main focus of the project.

This is not the card I had planned! I had a lovely image waiting on my desk, but when I actually sat down to make a start, I just didn't feel like colouring. So, I dug out some 'vintage' Hero Arts Stamps and set to work. A liberal dose of sprays and Voila. And yep, I did get it everywhere!

We're sponsored this week by Tickled Pink Stamps, Polka Doodles and Scrap Affair. Pop over to Cupcake for all the details and see the gorgeous work from The Girls.

I'll be back in a few hours with a little something from Pollycraft...
