Some exciting news from me today and the start of brand new challenge blog!
A brand new web shop has opened with lots of digital goodies , digi's, toppers, papers and much much more to come! Pop over to Scribble and Scrap for a nosey at all the fab stuff! Lexie has set up a brand new challenge blog too so hope to see you there!

So, my exciting news is.....Lexie asked me to be on the DT for the challenge blog! So excited!
So without further babbling from me, here is my 1st DT project for Scribble and Scrap!! I say project as it isn't a card!
I made some bookmarks using vintage blossom . I cant take any credit for the idea as I got it from watching the Saturated Canary You Tube Channel. I loved the idea as soon as I saw it and thought it was fab for this little flower! I used giant lolly pop sticks and have also now got some giant paper clips so will be making some more of that version too! They are fab little gifts to add in with a card or to give to a teacher!
I coloured the flowers in using copics and used spellies plain circle dies to cut out the images and card stock. The sticks are stuck to the images using pinflair glue. The other side of the bookmark has the same image on but it would be very easy to use different digi's for the images. This is also a fabarooney way of using up scraps of cardstock that we all have tons of that we don't want to throw away! lol
So what you waiting for???? The challenge's are always going to be Anything goes so they are so easy to join in with. Also, if you're on Facebook, why not pop over to the Scribble and Scrap Fb Page for a gab!
Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see what you enter the challenge with. hope you will take 5 mins to stop by the rest of the DT teams blogs for lots more wonderful inspiration!
Welcome to Friday the 13th and Heather Valentin's alter ego Lady Heather is about! Lots of new dark digi's to be had today so go take a look in the store!! Heather's Lady Heather Character is about celebrating all things dark!
For those of you wondering what has happened to the sunshine-y digi's we know and love Heather for, they will be back this weekend after the 13th!! Her dark Lady Heather just pops up to to play every now and then! mwahahaha!!
My DT card was made using Cemertarie!
Also took some pics as I was going along making her up!
I used copics to colour her in :- V12, V15, V17, V09, YG21, YG13, YG25, YR04, YR07, YR09, N3, N5, N7, N9, B91, B95, B97
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.
Another fantastic release from Tamara at The Stamping Chef this week and this time it is Steampunk themed. Her name is Grand Duchess and you can get her with 20% off for this weekend only! So go get her quick!
Here is my Sous Chef Card using her
Duchess is coloured with copics :- E000, E00, E11, V04, V06, V09, N1, N3, N5, N7, N9.
I used Adirondacks Acrylics in butterscotch and a water brush to paint the metal skirt and the buckles. The papers are from a huge stack I got from Costco about 5 years ago! I also added brass corner embellishments and some die cut cogs to tie in with the Steampunk theme.
Hope you like her and why not go visit the other Sous Chefs blogs for lots more fab inspiration!

Right now the rules are all out of the way, time for my DT Sous Chef card I unfortunately only had time to work with Bite Me for this challenge and here she is!
I have used plain purple bazzill cardstock and the patterned papers are from doodlebug Halloween pack and Echo Park Apothecary 6x6 paper pad. The spiders web die is from Memory Box and the sentiment was cut using spellies plain circles and lacy circles dies. I typed the sentiment in Word using a free font called Bloody and added a charm on some thread dangling from the sentiment. The roses started off plain white and I coloured them using copics, BV08 and R46. Added some punched black leaves and some pins and also some pearls around the corners.
The blood splatters were created using adirondacks Acrylics in Cranberry. I squirted and spread them about on a clear plastic bag and then pushed them around to make splats! When they were dry I cut them out and stuck them down using pinflair.

Time for another fab new release from Tamara at The Stamping Chef and for this weekend you can get Princess of Hearts with 20% off so what you waiting for go get her!!!! You won't regret it!
Here is my Sous Chef card using Princess of Hearts.
I coloured the princess using copics. The cards and papers are all from my stash, don't know the make of the papers as they were a coverless pad I picked up from a craft show! I added a length of bright pink ribbon with pale pink hearts on across the centre of the card and added a lace rosette with a sparkling rhinestone in the centre on the left hand side. I placed heart shaped gemstones on her tiara and also her staff and added a selection of flowers and martha stewart punch leaves in the bottom right hand corner with a pin placed into them, which looks like a pearl in a crown setting.
I typed the sentiment using word and die cut it using spellies standard circles and lacy circles dies.
Copics used:- E000, E00, E11, E13, E15, E18, RV21, RV23, RV25, R22, R24, R29, R81, R83, R85

Hello Bloggers
As you will know if you've been following my blog for a while I am a memberof team B at Just Inspirational Challenges. Well the owner Kelly and her 2nd in command Kate have been having a think about how to make the challenges more appealing
and to entice more of you to enter etc etc and they decided that instead
of having an inspirational photo for every challenge we would sometimes
use one and other times use a photo of something that you must use in
your creation, for example this weeks photo is of ribbons which means
you must have ribbons on your make somewhere.
So without further ado, onto the new challenge! Our lovely sponsor this time is Beccys Place .
They are offering the brill prize of 3 digi's or one set.
and the theme photo for this challenge is
Finally for my DT card!
The image is coloured with copics and the patterned papers are from an old DCWV Christmas stack I have from yonks ago! I kept the design quite clean and the red and blue backing papers are pain card stick from my stash. I used red chiffon ribbon along the bottom of the card and added a string of pearl beads too. I used one of the new memory box Christmas dies for the snowflake and added some pearls. I also dotted around some pearl snowflake flatback embellishments, they're not easy to see in the piccy so hopefully you can see them! I also covered all the white parts of the little snow girl and the snow mum's clothes with Deco art crystal ultra fine glitter to add a bit of sparkle.
Copics used:- YR04, YR07, YR09, B00, B02, B04, E55, E57, E59, E13, E15, E17, RV21, RV23, RV25, YG61, YG63, YG67, R35, R37, R39, B21, B23, B26, Y32, Y35, Y38, YR61, YR65, YR68
