Winter Wonderland at Elisabeth Bell's World!

Merry Christmas Everyone.. Hope that you have had a lovely day celebrating with friends and family.. My boys and I actually spent the day on our own and went to the Aquarium which we all thoroughly enjoyed....
So with it being the 25th it is time for a new challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World and this month our challenge is Winter Wonderland. I may not have nailed this one but I loved the new freebie image (Christmas Curls) we got off Elisabeth Bell so I had to use her so to make it a bit winterish I added some snowflake buttons.
I coloured Christmas Curls in with tria markersand added some glitter to her tinsel on her dress.The silver stripes are tape and I used some lace and twine, then added the snowflakes and rhinestones. Plus I added the sentiment that Lynda designed...
Christmas is nearly over here but for those of you who are still celebrating ENJOY xx

All the details are on my original blog post HERE.

Christmas Bell's!


It is my turn to post over on the Digi Bell's blog so I am sharing a Christmas card that I have made using Christmas Bell's from Elisabeth Bell's digital collection... 

I decided to colour Christmas Bell's in with non traditional Christmas colours because I just love this kaisercraft paper that I bought a few years ago.. All the paper elements are from the Christmas carnival collection then I added the ribbon, buttons and sentiment..
Thanks for stopping by

Valentine Angel Reading!


It's my turn to share a creation with you over on The Digi Bell's blog today so I created a card using Valentine Angel Reading from Elisabeth Bell's digital collection
Obviously I have not made a valentines day card, I thought with her sorrowful face she was perfect for  a sympathy card also. I kept this rather simple by creating a background by first stamping the sentiment, then using Glitter Deco tape. I added some buttons then added Valentine Angel Reading which I coloured with tria markers. 
Don't forget our Blog Hop started yesterday over on The Digi Bell's blog so still plenty of time to hop along for your chance to win the fabulous new Elisabeth Bell digi image..
Thanks for stopping by

Elisabeth Bell's new digi release and Blog Hop!!


It is that time again at the Digi Bell's when we get to have a little fun with you, sharing our creations with the newest Elisabeth Bell digi.So let's hop to it...  If you are a little lost head back to the Digi Bell's blog where you will find a blog hop line up. If you have just hopped over from Lynda's Blog then you are on the right track. So now that the formalities are out of the way please welcome
SWEET COUNTRY HARVEST
I coloured this sweet image in with tria markers (my boys couldn't believe I coloured it - I guess there are just some days you get it right). I actually  recycled a card I made awhile ago and changed a few things and added a couple of things also because I thought this little girl suited the colours perfectly.
 HARVEST PUPPY
Another experimental tag using distress inks and stamps. I coloured this sweet little puppy in with tria markers and found this fun sentiment, then just added the big button...
Thanks so much for hopping along.. Please continue hopping over to Linda's Blog where you will be dazzled by her beautiful creation. If you can't wait to get your hands on these adorable new images, head on over to Elisabeth Bell's digital collection.
