So, down at the bottom of the garden, past the garden gate, you'll find Boozy Brian sat on his log always with a pint in hand!! lol
.I kept Brian quite clean and simple and used card stock and patterned papers from my stash. I added a charm of a toadstool onto some red metallic twine and used blue and red metallic brads down the side of the card. Added some pearls around the corners and a hand stamped sentiment!
Kept this one really clean but it would make a fab mans card!

Meet Pippa Sea Kissed Mermaid
Pippa was coloured using copics :- E000, E00, E11, B00, B02, B04, RV21, RV23, BV00, BV02, BV04, RV00, RV10, RV02, Y17, YG03, YG07, E13, E15, E18, RV19, RV17, RV14, YR61, YR65
I cut the digi out using xcut oval and scalloped oval dies, the sentiment is from Tiddly Inks and was cut using spellies circle and scalloped circle dies. The flourish die cut is from Cheery Lyn die.
The papers and card are from my stash. I used a hessian strip across the card with a length of scalloped ribbon added across. The flowers are all from my stash, mostly WOC and the shells, some were bought and some were collected from the beach on my recent camping holiday! I added some Martha Stewart punched leaves within the flowers and also added 2 charms on faux pearl string, a starfish dangling from the paper flowers and a large shell one hanging from the ribbon under a chiffon and pearl flower I added. Also placed some pearlescent flat back star fish about the card.
Hope you like my card and can't wait to see what you enter into the challenge! Don't forget there is a loyalty scheme for getting the challenge digi from Heather so be sure to check out the rules and details on the challenge blog!

The orange cardstock was from my stash. the purple patterned paper is from the Doodlebug Halloween paper pack. The green and black patterned paper if from Echo Park.
I added a skull and cross bones charm, sticking it down with pinflair glue gel. The sentiment was I think from Gingers House free.
Lastly I took a white paper flower and coloured it orange with copic marker YR18. Once dry, I used a narrow ended wet glue to coat the edges of the petals and then dipped the rose in black ultra fine glitter. I finished it off with 2 punched black leaves using the Martha Stewart punch.
Hope you like my card using Cemetarie. She is very out of my comfort zone as I am a very pink girl!! lol I enjoyed working with her though and I'm pleased with how she turned out! Hope you stop by the other Sunshine Girls blogs for lots more inspiration.
Time for another challenge at Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog and this time we are showcasing the brand new release of the City Girls! We now have a loyalty scheme ongoing with the challenge digi from Heather so pop along to the challenge blog for more details.
We got to chose which City girl we wanted to work with so I chose London. I also got to name her so she is named after my little (not so) girl! She was overjoyed when I told her! :)

I covered the umbrella with glossy accents to make it look like the clear plastic umbrellas that are popular in the UK. the stripey paper is AMM and the pink and brown card is bazzill. I added a piece of ribbon from my stash and added a bow with 2 charms dangling from it, one is a handbag and one is a tag saying City Girl!
Also added some paper blossoms with sparkling rhinestones in the centres. The brown rhinestone was a clear one coloured with E57. The sentiment was cut using Crafters Companion all occasion sentiment dies.

Time for another challenge over on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog and a chance to win a $30 gift voucher for Lacy Sunshine Digis.
We got to pick which digi stamp we used ourselves this time! So, there was only one option (besides my all time fave Eleanor as a clown!) and that was to use the stamp that lead me to discovering Lacy Sunshine!!!
Here is my DT card using Eleanor and Pickles Happy Lil Flowers!
The digi was coloured using copics and I added lots of bit and bobs from my mass of stash! paper blossoms, ribbon, butterfly charm, dazzling rhinestones, pearls and gemstones and a digital sentiment that I printed. I put the ribbon down the side of the card and made a bow from the same ribbon and attached it to the bottom.
Hope you like her as much as I do!

I used Lacy Sunshine Eleanor as a clown digi stamp and coloured her with copics. Was very naughty and didnt write the colours down. The patterned papers are from the papermania colossal paper stack that I've had for yonks! I used cheery lynn corners die, memory box precious stars die and spellies cirlce and scalloped circle to cut the digi sentiment. The ribbon and thread along the bottom are from my stash box and added to paper blossoms with sparkling rhinestones in the centres. Also added some gems to the flower centres in the corner die cuts and onto the bow centres that the stars are hanging from.

I'm here with a midway reminder for the latest challenge over at Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog where we're having a Christmas in July!
Here is my DT card using Winnie - Santas official Light Tester!
I coloured Winnie with copics and added gemstones to her holly berries on her hat and used sakura gelly roll clear glitter pen on her fur to give it a bit of sparkle. I used traditional Christmas colours for the card and added a Christmas tree onto a ribbon bow, some buttons with thread through them, and some chiffon flowers with pearl centres. I stamped the sentiment and matted it using spellies lacy circles die, also used memory box corner die, savvy dies 'Happy Holidays' and a dovecraft holly punch, to which I added red gemstones as the berries.

Time for another new challenge over at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog. Our theme is always Anything Goes from now on so its super easy to join in and win some fan digi stamps from Heather's shop.
Here is my DT card for the challenge using Toffee Apple Sticky Wings, she's so sweet!
She was coloured with copics (didn't write them down *slaps hand!) The patterned papers are from my stash as are the paper blossoms I used. I added 2 sparkly rhinestone dazzlers to the flowers to add a bit of bling and have added gems in various places around the card. The sentiment was typed in word and printed off, thought it suited the image perfectly! I covered the toffee coating on the apple in Glossy Accents to make it stand out and look very sticky and gooey!! lol I also used the Martha Stewart 3 in 1 butterfly punch and dotted them around the card to add extra embellishment and carry on the theme of the wings!
I struggled getting a good picture of the card for some reason with the flash, I kept getting glare on the piccy so below is another piccy without the flash, not sure which is best to be honest! lol
Hope you like her! Can't wait to see your entries into the challenge and don't forget as always there is a freebie up for grabs on the blog so that there is no excuse not to play along!
Bit of a sombre post from me today. Today would be my mum's 67th birthday. I lost my mum 5 years ago on the 16th July coming. I miss her so much, more now than ever and a few weeks ago I was having a day where she was on my mind all day so I decided to make her a birthday card in her memory.
I used her favourite colours pink and green and also added flowers and butterflies, she loved gardening and was always pottering around in her garden with our Westie Robbie always in her shadow!
She used to love the crafty things I made and always let me send for stuff and get it delivered to her house so hubby didnt know!! lol
Love you mum xxxxx
Also been looking through my old piccies and came across one of me and mum sun bathing by a caravan on holiday one year! Reminds me of me and my little girl now x x Heres my gorgeous mum and me aged about 7ish! Many moons ago!!

I kept the card quite clean and simple and have left the sentiment off until I decide who will be the lucky recipient of her! Maddie was coloured with copics.

My DT card this week features the ever lovable Pickles dressed in his graduation gown! Hope you like him.
I cut an 8x8 card diagonally to create the triangle, and used papers from my stash.

The fishtails were created by cutting 2 thin strips of paper and then using a square punch at the end, cutting on the diagonal. (really really want some fishtail dies but until I can get them, this method will have to do!) I also added some self adhesive gemstone stars and pearl stars and a silver metal 'Celebrate' sentiment. Pickles was cut out using spellies standard and scalloped circle dies.

colours.
My DT card is using another of Heather's fab Gnomes of Gnarly Wood digi's only available from The Lacy Sunshine Shop.
Meet Finkle Cycling!
Finkle was coloured with copics. I've used papers and card from my overflowing scraps box and a couple of buttons from my stash! I decided to keep this card quite simple. I used tumbled glass distress ink pad and smudged it around the edges of the top of the image to give a feeling of the sky in the background. Used my usual pearls on the corners.I used the cool greys in the colouring to keep in line with the blues.
Copics used:- E000, E00, E11, E23, E25, E27, B0000, B000, B01, B02, B04, B60, B63, B66, C1, C3, C5.

Here's a card using Sky Lynn, another of Heathers Valentin's digi's available in her Lacy Sunshine shop.
Its hard to have a favourite from all of Heather's digi's but Sky Lynn is definately one of them!
I used Distress Inks Festive Berries blended around the edges of the card. Red and black cards for the layering and a black and white patterned paper. The decorative corners are using my memory box corner die that I'm still obsessed with! The butterflies are made using the Martha Stewart 3in1 punch. I go the lacy rosettes from the same ebay seller as I get my rhinestones from, the small sparkly ones I like to use in the centre of my flowers! The large rhinestones used on the lace were from WOC. Sky Lynn was coloured with copcis, but yet again havn't written down the colours I used1 I know her hair was using N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 and a touch of 100. I'm thinking the red was R59, R37, R35.
Thanks fior stopping by, hope you love Sky Lynn as much as I do!
Back with another Lacy Sunshine Gnome! Love these digi's so much! You can find them all in Heathers shop, the only legal place to buy them!
Lexie is always being naughty in our Lacy Sunshine facebook group so it was only right that Heather made her a digi of her on her naughty chair that shes permanently glued to!! lol
Lexie was coloured with copics and cut out using xcut large plain and scalloped rectangles. Bazzil card and papers were all from my stash. As are the gems, flowers, ribbon and the centres used for the flowers, (which is like a circle of gems linked together). I typed up the sentiment in Word which say 'Ooooops', 'Put Me On The Naughty Chair' and inside the card it reads 'Sorry I Forgot!'

E000, E00, E11
R81, R83, R85

On a roll this week! Here's another of the new fabilicious gnomes from Heather Valentin over at Lacy Sunshine!
Meet Lovely Larry!
The 1st of my 2 Lovely Larry's is a general 'Just For You' card. Larry was coloured with copics and I fussy cut him out. Papers, card, ribbon and gems were all from my stash. The sunflowers were die cuts (I think they are Joy Crafts) and the leaves are spellies dies. I added orange gems to the centre of the sunflower and dazzling rhinestones to the centre of the die cut sunflowers. I added a charm under the sentiment which was cut using spellies lacy circles die.
Larry number 2!! A new home card.
I typed up the sentiment in Word 'No Place Like Gnome'.
The papers and bazzill card are all from stash. I used bronze fine
glitter for the centre of Larry's large sunflower, it doesn't show up
very well on the piccy but looks fab IRL.
I used the die cut flowers again for the sunflowers and added the
rhinestone flatbacks to the centre. I used a piece of ribbon out of my
scraps box and added a flower linking charm (can't think if the proper
name, has a loop at each end of the flower!) I used spellies standard
circles to cut out the circle layer and the smallest of the xcut lareg
oval scalloped dies to cut the sentiment out. As usual I have put my list of copics used somewhere safe! As soon as I put my hands on them I will update the post!
There you go! Hope you like Larry as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my posts. I really do appreciate it xx
