It's my turn in the Simply Sassy Spotlight...

Good Morning peoples!!
Blimey its all go on here at the moment eh?
Hope you are not getting fed up with me yet??

Well, today I have some SUPER exciting news... the Simply Sassy Spotlight is shining on little ole me!!
So pop over to see the cards Maria has picked out to show you (arrggghhhh embarrasing!)

As part of the spotlight procedure (sounds a bit medical!)
I had to create a new Sassy card... and HERE it is my friends....

The butterfly came first on this one... I was messing about stamping onto acetate... and I stamped the spotty butterfly from the greeting farm spotlight kit onto it...

(are you sick of seeing me use this kit?... truthfully I don't have a huge amount of stash, so I do tend to use the same stuff over and over, AND theres SO much in it, and I love it...so there!)

The butterfly body is just a pin, with paper wrapped around it, and 2 bits of wire...simples!!

After I made it, I realised how well it would go with the blue spotty paper from the Prima - Moulin Rouge set... so I ran with that....

The GORGEOUS stamp is Butterfly Girl by Simply Sassy... I LOVE her... just look at the expression on her face!! SO adorable!

I coloured her to match the floral paper....

I created the spotty tabs at the bottom, using one of the border strip stamps from the....sigh.....greeting farm spotlight set.... I just stamped it a few times, and then cut tabs from it...

The sentiment stamp is cats life press which you can get from Crafty Emmas Store

I created the cloud background using chalks.... more about this later in the week ;)

doodling (of course) and enamel (of course) and I'm done!

I followed Maria's Sketch over at the Sugar Bowl.... AGAIN!! (and rotated it... again!)

And I'd also like to enter the following challenges...

Crafty Pad - Cute and girly

CES - Mix and match papers

Craft your days away - Birthday

Card Making Mama's - Birthday cards

Thanks for visiting!!

and thanks Maria, for spotlighting me!!

Sketch Saturday #167 Terrys Sketch... and some EXCITING News...

Good morning, good morning, good morning!!

YES, I think there was a call for 3!

I have THE most exciting news to share today!

Did you see the new logo over in my sidebar?

Go on... have a look--------------->

YEP!...I've been picked to be a Guest Designer for Simply Sassy!!

This really is a big deal for me... and I'm SO, SO stunned, honoured and grateful to have been asked!!!

Whoooohoooooo!!! 

I've just fallen head over heals (and back again) in LURVE with the Simply Sassy stamps, and am so excited to be able to play with more!!!

Right, that's my news! on with some cardage...

This week over at Sketch Saturday, Jo is taking her monthly break, and Terry has provided us with a BRILLIANT Sketch...

Here's my card following it...

The Gorgeous Stamp is 'little light of mine' from Simply Sassy

I actually won this stamp a couple of weeks ago!

I've coloured her with promarkers and pencils...

The papers are Echo Park Victoria Gardens and a few odd scraps...

The mesh fabric was from my scrap clothes bag...

I've cut a frame and some swirls from Kraft using a Marianne creatables die...

Flowers are from my stash... and doodles are from my own fair hand ;)

This card isn't as colourful as you are used to from me... somehow I didnt think too much colour worked with the image... and I've had these yummy papers sitting on my desk looking at me for well over a week now :)

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges...
Colour Create - Pink, Green and White
Craft Us Crazy - Anything Goes
 ABC Challenge - A is For Auburn
