Needle Felting
Hi there crafty buddies, long time no see or speak.
As most of you know I have decided to take a break from colouring and design team work and am crafting for my own pleasure.
So I've taken up a new hobby of needle felting.
I started by going on a workshop to make a needle felted picture as this was mainly what I wanted to do, then I did some wet felting and then a Gnome workshop and have got into doing the 3D stuff to now.
I now have a subscription each month for a needle felting box so I can make lots of different stuff. OOOw where to put it all.
Wow I never thought that I would love it so much..... and all of it to.
So I just thought I'd share a few of my little creations so far.
Lots more practice needed but its so nice and relaxing and makes me feel creative LOL !!

Outdoor fun with Fuzzypuffs
Hi crafty peeps,
Its time for a new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge Blog.
Anything Goes so why not come and join us.
https://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/
This month the DT are doing Outdoor fun, so it just had to be a hedgepig for me as they are real fun loving critters. My Mum loves hedgepigs and she sponsors a little blind one at Tiggywinkles Hospital called Suzie. The sponsorship helps to look after the wild life that is brought into them.
I've used Earlie Hedgehog from the Fuzzypuffs collection and tamed it up with a background from Horace and Boo. You can find it all here at the store

"Shiver me timbers"
Ahoy there shipmates!!
I'm getting in the mood for a bit of skullduggery with the new release from Scrappers Delights. It's all about Pirates.
Now I love a good pirate image they always remind me of "where's all the rum gone" Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. Love those movies. This little fella has a touch of the Capt'n Jack hair about him don't you think?
You can find all the new images right here at the store
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new
I printed out the images and coloured the copics then fussy cut them to add to my planner spread. Added a couple of die cuts including the flamingo as they are quite curious birds and Ahoy there we have a pirate planner spread.

Gypsy Bride
Hi crafty buddies,
After what seems like a lifetime the fabulous Julia Spiri is back creating beautiful images for us to colour. She's been so busy promoting her new colouring book, doing some beautiful paintings and designing products with her artwork on, but she's just released this fabulous new image Gypsy Bride.
You can find her here at the store
https://www.etsy.com/listing/615726153/,
I coloured her with copics and used a Polkadoodles die to frame her with some papers from the Bohemian collection from Dovecraft.

Ella with cupcake
Hi crafty buddies,
Sharing today my last DT project for Conie Fong. I have been with her for the last couple of years and more recently as DT team leader. I love working with her images but now feel its time to step aside and let others have a chance and to pursue other things on a personal level to.
This new beauty is Ella with cupcake.
There are two versions of her one with the cupcake and the other with a beautiful flower.
You can find her here at the store
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/602475304/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_3
What better way to have my last colouring with such a beauty and all the fabulous hair which as you know is my favourite thing to colour.
