I've used the most gorjuss papers from bo bunny the collection is called Enchanted i love them! along with some american crafts spotty ribbons and gorjuss flowers from wild orchid crafts! to create my final card it looks like this............

Perfect Day...

Morning all!

I'm here with a brand new creation a little something new from me this week, i'm one to stick to 6x6 cards so i challenged myself to go a little big i must admit i did struggle but i enjoyed the challenge!

Talking of challenges it's a brand new one this week at

My mum's craft shop!

This week's theme is

Spring Colours!

so lots of scope there! and as always a fabby prize up for grabs!

I've used this gorjuss Saturated Canary Digi today from the very talented Krista Smith! I've seen alot of facebook comments over the past few months how people have been ripping off her images as there own and i must say my own personal view of this it's awful Krista puts her heart and soul into these gorjuss images and for someone to take them change them a little and sell them as there own it's terrible and more so shame on the people who buy them! there is NOTHING like the original! and i love Krista's work so i will continue to support her!!

Anyway rant over! i love this one kinda reminds me of me when i was little with the big boots and umberella so typical me as a little girl! 

I've coloured her with promarkers! yay i'm getting good with those pens now! there's not much i can't master hehe well... i tend to bury my head in sand for ages over a new technique then one day i get up and go for it! so im mastering pleates at the moment (not shown on this pic) but i'm getting there! i love these pens there just so nice to colour with!

So yeah! I went for 8x8 in the end jeesssseee that was hard but i love the end result! I've used some fab craftwork cards papers i have for christmas in a secret santa which i love and look CANDY!!! i have so much of this stuff but never use it!!! lol terrible!!!

anyways i'll leave ya with the end piccy hope to see you at the challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

As you can see i've used one of Krista Smith's gorjuss saturated canary images....

This was actually an ordered card from my mum! she wanted a 21st birthday card for her friend at work she works with... all i got told is she liked witches and she was talking about some burning rain of death (part of a film or something) so i tried my best to incorprate that! lol

The card is actually for a friends birthday which has been and gone now so i'm safe to show it off! and the fab news was she loved it... why apples? well because her last name is appleby and that's her nickname!!! as well as manfoot (but that's another story hehe)

Morning all!

I'm currently having great fun making my list for the NEC on saturday!! I wonder what bargains i can find this year!! oooo i'm so excited i can't wait!!!

I'm here today with the most gorjuss digi on my card today i've seen in a long time! If you've not seen Krista Smith's Digi's at saturated canary where have you been??? I absolutly adore them!!! This one is called Let it Rain! so pretty and so nice to colour!

My card today is for my DT at My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges! You should really come play with us!!! We have some fab challenges and the girls are all wonderful to work with and very talented! I still can't belive they asked me to be on the DT lol!!

This week's challenge is...

THANK YOU!

Easy sqeezy peezy!!!

I wanted to use my new digi and really go to town with colour, something you'll notice i'm experimenting with recently! Normally i stick to no more than 2/3 colours but i love all these vibrant papers and bits and bobs i keep buying hehe!

She's coloured with promarkers and spectrum noirs (how i ♥ these pens) I've seen alot of negativity on Spectrum noirs since they came out, my only hmpft about them is yes where the name of the colour on the end is scratched on some pens but other than that i love them!!! they're just basically promarkers just more colours and i seem to prefer the pinks in the SP's unlike the dullness of the pink promarkers ya know the baby pink isn't what i'd call baby pink neither is the pastel pink.... so it's worth buying some if you'd like some nice other colours hehe!!

Anyways... here's the whole thing! I'll be back laters if i can tear myself away from my smash book! hehe!

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
*My time to craft - rainy days
