Odie But A Goodie DT-challenge #2

Good Morning Everyone,
Its time again for the Oldie But A Goodie challenge, our 2nd challenge has been chosen this week by the fab Lisa and the theme is ''Pink and Girly''! I have chosen to use 2 of the 1st stamps i ever got and they are from the home and heart collection, i don't think i have even used them,now how bad is that,this is why i love being on this DT so much as it gives the chance to get out all my old neglected stamps and bring them to life again....so here is what i have used,both stamps have been paper-pieced and i have also coloured the little girl with distress inks, the ladybug paper is by basic grey-lemonade and the pink spotty one is from bobunny- persuasion kit,self adhesive flat backed gems are from wild orchid crafts,i have also used martha stewart border punch and ribbon is from my stash,i dont have a clue were the plain pink paper comes from as it was at the very bottom of my paper drawer hidden bless it lol,thank you all for taking the time to stop by and hope you can all pop over and take part in this weeks challenge and have a look at the DTs fabulous creations....

Take Care
Love n Hugs

Just Magnolia and Friday Sketchers

Morning Ladies,
Well here's my entry for Just magnolia  and Friday sketchers I've tried to use crackle accents on my image BUT it didn't quite turn out how i would have hoped,think i have used too thick a layer,at least i will know if i try it again,i didn't have time to colour another image and accent it so it just had to do :-(,papers i have used are from basic grey and the heart sentiment stamp is by Cats Life Press which i did using bundled sage distress ink and then covered it in 3d gloss,ribbon flowers and gems are all from my stash,and of course the layout is using the sketch at Friday sketchers,enjoy your day and thank you all for taking the time to pop by.
Love n Hugs

Evening Ladies,
I'm gonna have to start and schedule my posts as i always have every intention of posting in the morning but by the time i do school runs and housework its time to do school runs,homework then dinner and kids bedtimes so i never get the chance lol and that means i usually miss deadlines for challenge entries,so here's hoping i get entered in time tonight..this 1 is for LOTV Challenge which this week is a fab sketch and i have been dying to get these new stamps inked up and coloured ant they sooo cute i have coloured this one with my usual distress inks and the papers are MME from last Christmas as i still haven't invested in this years yet,sentiment and spotty strip are from the die cuts sheet that i got with the paper pack and snowflakes are punched out using various punches on glitter board with green sticky back gems added to the centres,and I've added stardust stickles on the image(of course lol)

I want to also remind you all that the Oldie But A Goodie challenge launches tomorrow so it would be great if you went and checked it out the challenge will be posted at 8am,and there will be a prize and a top 3,so a great excuse to get those neglected stamps dusted off and inked up,so also check back with tomorrow for my 1st ever DT card (I'm sooo excited lol)..
