"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.

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.

I fancied doing a bit of watercolouring.... LOL usually when I think of thit it ends up as a complete disaster , but actually I'm quite please with this one and I used my ZIG markers to do it to , which is often even more of an issue. I might give it to my Mum for her birthday.

I've chosen to use Jeans Cherry Blossom.

Catpunzel

Hi crafty friends,

I'm here today with a fabulous new release from Knitty Kitty Digis. We've got  a bit of a furrytale theme going with Catpunzel. OOow look at her!!

I love the Disney movie Tangled and Catpunzel is doing a pretty good impression with all those golden locks, just waiting for a purrfect Prince to pop along and release her from her scratch pole tower. My Crazy Maisey kitty would love a plait like that.


You can find her here at the store: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/614169551/digi-stamp-instant-download-catpunzel?ref=shop_home_active_1

I coloured her with copics and added her to a book of furrytales, the book is STorytime 1 from Scrappers Delights

In the Spotlight for Scrappers Delights

Hi crafty buddies,

Today I have the great honour of being the featured DT member over at Scrappers Delights. This puts me in the spotlight, ta dah!!! So I thought I would show you how I make my planner spread using Janice's fabulous digital images.

To make up my spread I decided to us some chefy images as I have been sooo many years in the catering trade..... I used the following digital images from the store
Recipe Card
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_234&products_id=1028
Kitchen Scene
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_234&products_id=1029
Kitchen scene builder
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_234&products_id=1030
Charlie/Jill Chef 2
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_234&products_id=1032

First of all I decided on the images from the scene builder that I wanted to use and took those into My Craft Artist by dragging and dropping them onto my open page .. I then added the other images so I could print them all out to colour them.

I coloured up my images using copic, having decided to use blues and reds for my theme.

I fussy cut them out and add some complementary washi tape to my planner pages then arranged them and glued them onto my planner pages. I use a glue that isn't too wet to do this as it can soak through onto the following pages.

Here's my completed spread

Lil Miss Sugarpops

Hi crafty buddies,

Its time for a new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge.
Why don't you come and join us and show us your beautiful projects, Anything Goes
 https://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/

For my inspiration I'm using one of the cute Lil Miss Sugarpops, these are some of my favourite images and such lush papers to go with them to. The DT are doing some paper piecing for our projects, so I've coloured her face, hair and under her hat with copics, then paper pieced the hat and bow and her dress from the pre-coloured images in the kit. I then popped her onto some of the papers from the kit and added the Fabulous mitred dies to make a fence and flowers rom the kit to.

You can find the mini kit right here at the store:
