We are showcasing PRIMA Products this week....you don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I've never used one of these Prima Marketing 'Dolls' before so I decided to give it a whirl - she is Prima Marketing - Flowers TASHA  and gosh Tasha is a tall girl!!! The first one I made I coloured with Copics, I decided to make another with and paper pieced with Prima Marketing Papers - Princess - much more effective!!  I used a tag design on the Simon Says Cardstock Cotton Candy and the Prima's Princess Design Papers. I added Embossing powder with  the Crafter's Workshop Mini Texturized Stencil.
Now I was totally stupid (again) and forgot to add our theme - Thinking of You. I added it and with Simon Says  Die Thinking of You and sparkled it. I wan't really sure of the sentiment suited the image but 'too late was the cry'.

 The Celebrate Stamps            The Celebrate Dies

     

Heidi and Stephanie were in London recently, meeting some UK designers and when Steph wasn't looking, Heidi gave everyone a set to use for this Surprise Birthday Hop :-)

I just love the new set - love it - it is so adaptable and can be for so many different uses!!!

I really wanted to use one of my new Little B Designer Cutting Die Labels - they are fabulous and came together brilliantly. I decided to use one of the Stampendous House Mouse Design  Hoppers Party Hats and coloured them with Copic Markers. I  use lots of the lovely  Celebrate Dies balloons and extra on the back of the card - to balance the card I added Simon Says Large Holiday Shapes. I wanted to keep a soft gently colours by using the Simon Says Premium Dye Mint and Lavender Purple. This was a  fun and really enjoyable card!!!

Everybody Art Challenge..................Gears !!!

It's a new challenge for Everyboday Art Challenge and out theme is ........

GEARS

I had this card in my head but it just didn't come together in real life, I played around with many variations but I'm still not happy........sadly ran out of time to scrap it all and start again!!!

This is the end product - I usedf the Lily of The Valley image coloured on Neenah Kraft cardstock Deseert Stormon with  Prismacolor pencils.

The DP card is some from DCWV and I added Memory Box  Gears in different colours including the some of the Co-ordination in dard and sanded them. I had some 'plastic' stickeers which I added but they photographer them in peculiar colours. 

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Life is a Journey

Another Mousie Christmas card for my collection!!  I've coloured the image with Copics and covered the ground with Aleene's Glitter Snow and also used it with Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow  stencill - I love that thing and am often tempted to covering it every possible use - and some that  I shouldn't!!!
 The ribbon is out of my stash and I added an old Cuttlebug die along with a metal snowflake.
