Sugar Nellie Manga Card

I have no idea why she has pink hair but it makes a change lol!

Cherish

I've been really rubbish at blogging just recently and made this one nearly a month ago. The stamp is a Sugar Nellie one, papers from Raspberry Road and Sentiment from Whimsy

I would like to share her with:

Freshly Made Today

Sometimes new stamps sit in my pile for ages - I've been after this one for absolutely ages and beat off the opposition on eBay with a stick lol! She arrived Saturday morning and I've been waiting for MIL and hubby to leave so I could play.

Sketch at Oldie but a Goodie Challenge

It's my final challenge as a Guest Designer over at An Oldie but a Goodie today - I really have no idea where the last 2 months have gone. Thanks to the girls for asking me to join them :c)
Today we have a sketch for you

The rules are the same as usual - use any image you like as long as it's a real inky stamped one and over 6 months old. I checked Funky kits website and the Simply Sassy I've used for my card was released on 20th January so she just qualifies by a few days!

I've teamed her with Wild Rose Studio paper and a sheet of the DCWV metallic stack using my Retro flower punches to make the flowers. The corners are a Sizzix die. Sentiment and card candy from Craftwork cards.

Where in the world

I had a bounce up and down moment the week before last when I was asked to be guest designer for Oldie but a Goodie Challenge for May and June and then I panicked as I wasn't sure how to interpret this fortnight's theme of Where in the World.

In the end I borrowed hubby's Scottish Nationality and used Maggie in Kilt from Sugar Nellie - sadly these cuties have been discontinued but I may have one or two in my stash :c)

Just because

I only just spotted this gorgeous stamp from Sugar Nellie. It's a fundraising stamp. I've teamed her here with Nitwits papers (how did I manage without these) and a quilt from fairydoodler that I paperpieced.

The layout is the paper pretties sketch and I would also like to enter her into Crafty Emmas
clean & simple challenge

Bingo! with a sketch by my tall child

Abby doesn't really make many cards but is full of ideas and drew this sketch for me - I've adapted it a little mainly because I started with a square card so couldn't put the text where she wanted it.

I also used the MSE Bingo challenge and chose line 2
Square - Star - Buttons

This is what I ended up with:

Sorry about the rubbish photo but she was in a hurry to see it posted lol! She's going to give it to her step-mum for her birthday
