Spoon Full and Scrapmagasinet

This week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar the wonderful Karen has a recipe for you - 3 Pieces of DP, 1 Piece of Ribbon, 3 flowers and 3 buttons. I was short of time this week so was lucky that I could also get this recipe to fit Heather's fabulous sketch over at the Scrapmagasinet DT blog :-)

As always both challenges lots of inspiration from the designers so be sure to check them out!

The image on my card is from a sweet little baby set by Scrapmagasinet. This little set is great value and you get 5 main images. My image is stamped in Memento and coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. I added some stickle sparkle to the bubbles. The papers are from the DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Boy Stack. I have both the boy and girl stacks in handy 6x6 pads over in my store. 18 of the sheets are glittered and lots of the designs are perfect for non-baby cards too!

Isn't this little rubber ducky charm so sweet? I have tons of different charms, spacers, bead caps, pins, chains and jump rings in stock! I am expecting further stock toward the end of this week too.

Be back in a couple of days when I have some fabulous news to share!

Hugs,

Two Challenges :-)

I have created my card today for two challenges :-) The first is A Spoon Full of Sugar where our wonderful designer Joanne is asking us to create a monochromatic card. This doesn't have to be black and white but using various shades of one colour.

Our sponsor this week is me (Nikki) of Bunny Zoe's Crafts. This weeks lucky winner will receive the below adorable set by The Greeting Farm called Sweet Message. Our 25% off Christmas sale continues with lots of new items added!!!

Don't forget that the sneak peaks begin tomorrow for our new Wags 'n Whiskers release. Be sure to check out the Wags 'n Whiskers blog for more details and also a chance to win the full new release!!!!

My card is also created for our challenge over at the Scrapmagasinet DT blog where Heather has another awesome sketch for you to follow. The fabulous prize this week is $500 NOK worth of Scrapmagasinet images of your choice from the Scrapmagasinet store. That's a lot of stamps!!! You'll be able to join a bunch more challenges!!! You don't have any Scrapmagasinet stamps? I have tons for you to choose from over in my store!

I just adore this sweet Rakle Krilla image and have been dying to use her for months. Unfortunately she is no longer available... You can find lots more fun Rakle stamps though. The paper is from the Basic Grey Bitter Sweet paper pad and these will be in stock in my store by Friday. Krilla is coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. I have accessorized with 8mm Chocolate half back pearls, 4mm half back hearts, pretty Beige Lace and a gorgeous new heart charm.

A Christmas colour combo :-)

Our challenge this week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar was picked by our talented designer Camilla. Camilla has challenged us to a colour combo... with a twist! You have to have brown as your basic colour, then you can choose either pink or blue to go with the brown. As you can see I went for the brown and blue option but just couldn't help myself by adding a little pink too ;-)

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Denise from Whimsy stamps. One lucky player this week will win one of the new Crissy armstrong stamps which was released at the beginning of the month - Jolly Puppy Kisses.

My card is also for our challenge over at the Scrapmagasinet DT blog where our topic is all about Christmas. A nice easy challenge so no excuses not to join in :-) You don't own any Scrapmagasinet stamps.? I have a great selection in my store.

You won't want to miss out on entering our challenge this week anyway as you could win the cool set Girl Power!!!. I love this set!!!

Ok, I couldn't help myself and my card is also using Jeanette's fabulous sketch this week over at Friday Sketchers!!!

Scrapmagasinet Challenge - Fall Colours

As always we have a great prize and our lucky winner will win the below fun stamp "only one wish this year" and Santa personalised stamp. How fabulous is that!

If you don't have any Scrapmagasinet stamps to play along be sure to check out the great selection of stamps in my store. I currently have single Rakles in my Autumn sale and also grab bags of Rakles at amazing prices!

Trick or Treat!

For our challenge this week at A Spoon Full of Sugar I have created the below sketch for you to follow. Also our reader challenge today over at the Scrapmagasinet DT blog is Halloween. Lisbet has very kindly given you the chance to play along by using the Krilla Bunny digital image as shown on my card.

Krilla is coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. The fabulous papers are K&Company. The trick or treat sentiment is from a Lizzie Anne Designs set. I added some Raffia Lace for added texture. I think the halloween buttons may have been doodlebug and the other buttons used in the corners are from the Sugar plum collection.

Goth Christmas

Ok, something a little different to show you today... and shockers.. yep... no colouring!!! This is my card for this week Scrapmagasinet DT Challenge where Heather has another awesome sketch for you to follow. There is also a fabulous prize for one lucky player.


The image used on my card is from the Pre-order set "Goth Christmas". The sentiment is also from this set. Goth Christmas is currently on special over in my store. The inspiration for the style of my card came from my talented friend Kristine. Kristine's card is here. Papers used are DCWV La Creme. I added snowflake charms to the flowers using jump rings. The edges of my image have been distressed using VersaMagic Jumbo Java and I finished by adding a tiny splash of stickles to her bell and collar.

My latest Pink Cat Studio delivery arrived today. You'll have to wait until next Wednesday to see the new release set ;-) I have some great stamps for Christmas - Lily and Billy Winter, Cat Plate 1, Christmas Kitty and also the very cute Lily and Tweet.

Danni starts Reception tomorrow... wow, I am sure many of you will remember this time last year when I posted she was starting nursery. I am hoping my little babe won't be too camera shy so I can show you a picture of her tomorrow in her uniform.

Me and the girls had a moment earlier this evening - where were you Gary? We were in the bathroom while the girls were brushing their teeth ready for bed when... a huge.. and I mean HUGE spider come running along the hallway towards us... Well it must have looked so funny as all 3 of us jumped in the bath screaming!!! I am surprised our neighbour didn't knock to check we were ok ;-) This is my second encounter today!!!

I haven't had time to create for this weeks Spoon Full of Sugar as I have been busy with my store but be sure to pop over as Michelle has a great sketch for you.

Hugs,

Cheeky!

For our challenge this week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar we have the below fun sketch designed by our talented Sonja!


I also created this card for our challenge this week over at the Scrapmagasinet DT blog where we are asking you to create a birthday card. A nice easy challenge so no excuses not to join in this week!

My cheeky monkey is from the Scrapmagasinet set 101 Aper. This is such a fun set with 4 monkey's in various poses. Don't you just love the little faces on his feet! Monkey's party hat is by High Hopes. My images are coloured with a mixture of Prismacolour pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend and also copic sketch markers. Also adding some stickles sparkle! The little fimo buttons were sent to me from my friend Stephanie and again I have used my bargain Sainsbury's beads.

Be sure to check out the gorgeous creations from my DT members at both challenges!

On my card today I have used an image from the digital set My Furriest Friends. If you prefer your rubber I have a set on a special pre-order now which includes this fun stamp.

I have added Jute ribbon and pom pom ribbon for added texture. The flowers are Prima Hydrangea's and I have added sparkly pink brads. The sentiment is High Hopes and is part of the sentiment Hugs and Hugs.

Ok, now I have some fantastic news! Most of you know that my husband Gary was made redundant at the beginning of May. Well we got news last night that he is to start work with a new company soon. This is such a relief for our family.

I would like to apologise to my friends for not visiting your blogs at the moment. The girls are on their school holidays until early September so I am limited to my computer time. I will be back visiting my favourite blogs real soon.
