Snowflakes and Quality Street

Hello everyone, its time for another challenge over at Ladybug Crafts Ink and this week the challenge theme is chosen by the lovely Diane and she has chosen 
Snowflakes
so we would love to see all your projects with snowflakes on, and remember that you do not need to use a Ladybug image to enter but we love it when you do...

For my project I have used one of the lovely new boxes which will soon be in the shop.
They are clear boxes and ideal for Xmas gifts.  They would even fit some small cards in them as a gift set.
The image I have used is the cute Mr and Mrs Snowman and coloured with copics.
The little gems on the snowflake paper are gorgeous little pink nailheads and they are just so cute.
I filled my box with scrummy quality street!!!!!!   Any excuse to buy a box before Christmas..... lol

I need a P!

Oooopppps, I forgot to schedule this post.  May need some practice at blogging after being away for so long!!!
Its time for another challenge over at Ladybug Crafts Ink and this time its the turn of the lovely Laurie to host the challenge and her theme is 
I need a P!!!
so use as many things beginning with P on your creation as you can think of!!!

For my card I have used Winestool Nikki which is now available as a digi which is fab as this is an 8x8 card!
The image is coloured with copics and the papers and flowers are from my stash.
The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch and the bunting is a die-namics die.






For my card I think I actually only got 3 Ps...  Purple, petals and punch.
So why not join in our fun challenge at Ladybug Crafts Ink and see how many Ps you can squeeze in.  You dont need to use a Ladybug image but we love it when you do!!!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Fashionista Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi everyone, it seems an age since I last posted, so sorry about that however have not been too well all summer!  I was going to start creating again this week however my wonderful hubby has now very kindly passed his manflu onto me lol....
This is a card I made a few months ago and didnt blog though.
It is using a Penny Black Stamp coloured with my copics.
The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch






I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Sentiments Challenge - Bows or ribbons
Make it Monday - Anything Goes


Whilst I havent been crafting I have taken up a new hobby which has helped me considerably whilst I have been unwell!  I feel like I must be an old woman or something but am now addicted to knitting lol....
I started at the end of June and here are a few of the projects I have completed..






Sorry for the pictiure heavy post and now for the next part of my challenge to get round to some of your blogs......

Hi everyone, we have a new release for you over at Ladybug Crafts Ink and to celebrate we are having a blog hop!
The new release are all fabulous christmas images called Christmas Delights.
I have coloured my image with copics and the sentiment is from Lili of the valley.
The snowflakes are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have added some glossy accents to the berries.

Now, if you have come here from the lovely Lisa then you are on the right track.  You will also need a letter from me which is C

Now the rules for the blog hop are that you will need to visit each DT member's blog and gather all the letters, leaving comments as you go on each blog.  There will also be a letter on the challenge blog.
When you unscramble these they will make a word/phrase to do with Christmas, just email that to  lcichallengeblog@aol.com  as well as leaving a comment on the challenge blog.
You will then be in the running to win the whole new release!  How fab is that?

The theme for the challenge this week is 
Christmas in July
