a sneaky peek and its a double...


Good morning everyone its a biggie today, a double post and a little sneak peek of the Brand new Adorables from Sugar Nellie...wow isn't she just stunning, I love these Adorable's they really are adorable aren't they...this gorgeous little beauty is called Victoria, look at those eyes, what Mothers heart wouldn't melt looking at her, don't worry you don't have to wait too long as they are released on Funky Kits tomorrow and they are digis so instant spending gratification...I coloured her with distress inks and teamed her up with this amazing double sided Graphic45 paper from the ABC Primer collection, this one is called School Days, the tags and the ruler are from the same sheet...I finished with some Prima flowers and a gorgeous tartan ribbon bow...hop on over to Sugar Nellie and see who else on our amazing team is giving you some sneeky peeks...your in for a huge treat

my next card is for our new challenge at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and sTanglar challenge, this week is our Anything Goes monthly challenge and the fabulous Anne has added the option of adding lace and pearls...I loved this challenge as it gave me a chance to use another of the gorgeous new Sweet Christmas Magnolia collection...this one is the Sweet Christmas Tilda, I think this stamp is so so cute don't you...I know what your thinking...she used the dreaded red again but I didn't...

I paper pieced her suit with the same amazing paper I used for the inside of my card...that and the paper from the front is from the Sweet Christmas 12x12 paper collection, aren't they just lush and of course with all those poinsettia's I had to cut some out didn't I, I added some pearl centres to them too...I love this Magnolia paper collection every single one is gorgeous, you can buy them separately but the pack is 10% off atm...these two papers are called Red Poinsettia and Stitched Christmas...the papers, stamp, lace and pearls are all from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished my card with a bow and some lace...the fabulous sketch is from the Dutch Magnolia Lovers Challenge and I'm also entering it for the Lollipop Crafts challenge and Charisma Cardz challenge...when you have time hop on over to Just Magnolia and see the rest of our wonderful teams creations...

phew thanks for sticking with my long post today...I'm off to my craft room today as I still have some of my new stash I bought to play with and I feel it calling to me...have a wonderful day everyone

    Hi wow your colouring is out of this world and you have brought this stunning drawing to life. The design of your card is so perfect with her and the tartan ribbon is wonderful. This is a masterpiece. The Tilda is so lovely and bright and warm. Gorgeous papers and super idea for paper piercing Still to try that technique ! Super inspiration as always. Kitty :D

    Mina, your Victoria is jaw dropping!!! She looks like a painting, just stunning. Your Tilda is cute. I've loved the Adorables since I saw the first one, but have been scared that I couldn't color them up well enough. May have to get 1 to give it a try, although I know for sure she won't look like yours!!
