A Card for two little girls Lily and Lucy

I found this image on someone else's card on facebook and thought it was the right one for twins Lily and Lucy, they are 4 year old girls who belong to my dogs breeder and as they have brunette hair it was my chance to give it a go at colouring this.
The image was stamped onto white card then I used my copics to colour it, and then afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 for the image and a fancy one for the mount. The papers are from Papermania's Santa's Workshop and its been mounted on a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of turquoise card. I have also used a snowman ribbon and some vertical sentiment from Robert Addams.

A Card for the new Magnolia Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, Ive been trying for quite awhile to get around using one of these new Magnolia Images and at last I found a new Challenge over on Ribbon Girls and thought it was just right also to use these new Nestabilitie Dies.
I stamped Tilda image onto a piece of white card then coloured it with copic pens, and then used my new Basic Card Dies from Nestabilitie die on it and the surround is a new Rectangle die to. The sentiment is one of the Whimsey Love one and this was also stamped onto white card a heart die to cut it out.
The base card into a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I have used from the First Edition "Adore" paper pad, the first a red background with white hearts on it, the second is a damask pattern and I used the Martha Stewart Border and Corner Heart punches on it and laid on top of the bottom layer.
I then cut out a border with one of the Memory Box Heart dies and laid it down the left hand side, then threaded a piece of red ribbon through a piece of white lace and laid it down beside the diecut. The mounted image was then positioned on the right and the mounted sentiment is positioned on top of the lace in the left hand corner.

Sarah's Brand new CD "Laugh out Loud"

Good Afternoon Everyone, Ive just finished my first sample for Sarah Hallam's brand new CD and this one is "Laugh out Loud" and believe me when I tell you I did smile at some of the characters so Im hoping as my samples are made it will also bring some hilarity into your life also. Anyway heres the front page of the CD

And Sarah will be previewing the CD in April so these are all sneaky peaks I do hope you will enjoy them as much as I did, and here is my first sample.

And this cheetah is getting into the spirit of party going I printed the image onto photo paper and printed a second copy of the image and cut out the hat and decoupaged it on top of the first one, and then mounted it onto gold mirri board and brown textured card.
The backingpapers are from the same design set as the image and I have used it also on the inside of the card. Across the centre is another piece of the same brown card as the first mount and I have used the EK Success paw print border punch along both sides, on top is a strip of another of the backing papers and Ive done the same with the border punch then around the middle is a grosgrain that has been attached to the back and then stuck on top of the first paper.
I then positioned my mounted image to the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right, this is one of the Whimsey stamps.
I do hope you like this first sample, as I have six to create I will post them as and when I can get them done.

A Card for Mo's Challenge "Banners or Tags"

Good Morning Everyone, you now how it is you think youve covered everyone then you find a card turns up and youve no idea who the person is, but with a little detective work from hubby he managed to see that the postmark on the envelope and discovered it was from Norwich, and as my grandson lives in Norwich we guess it was from his future in-laws, so mystery solved, and one rushed person trying to get another Xmas card done and finished this morning ready for hubby to post in the morning.
Ive created my card from this sweet image from Mo Manning, Ive coloured her with my copic's then used Nestabilitie Die No.11 to cut her out, then done my usual thing with the mount. The sentiment is one of Pink Gems ones and Ive treated that in the same way.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of dark blue card and one paper from Donna of Bearlymine Designs "Christmas Wishes" digi paper set, a dark blue with lots of sentiments and snowflakes on. The next mount was a 5" square that Ive used my snowflake border and corner punch on from Martha Stewart. Ive created the banner with some letters I created in MCS and printed them of, then used a Whimsey banner stamp and punch to create the sections for my banner, these were then stuck to the card on a strip of white ribbon and foam.
The mounted image was postioned on the right with the sentiment at the bottom on the left, the final thing I did was put some glitter on the letters and used the punched out snowflakes to just dot and spot all over the place stuck down with some glue.

Card for the Saturated Canary Challenge

Good Morning All, I know that most of you have heard of the Saturated Canary Digi Images dont you thing they are gorgeous, anyway it seems she is the Sassy Girls from Sugar Nellie artist and now she has started her own Challenge Blogspot and I felt I would give it a go. I have used this sweet image for my first card she is called "Craftyragamuffin" and I have printed her onto white card and then coloured her with my copic pens, and then because its a sketch Challenge I have cut it out with my rotatrim and cut a mount for it out of pearlescent card. The sentiment is one from Whimsey Stamps and has been cut with one of the ticket dies.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white cad and has a first mount of pink card and I have used one of Kay Millers digi papers a very pretty flowered background, on top of this I have wrapped a seam binding ribbon around the bottom. The mounted image was then positioned as the sketch requires and the sentiment is tucked under the bow at the bottom. To finish of I have used three pink and white roses at the top of the left hand corner.
