Sweet Leotie


Good Morning,

It's challenge time again over at Art by Miran Challenge, the theme is always Anything Goes.



I have coloured up one of the new releases digi's called Leotie isn't she just gorgeous. I have coloured her up using my Copic Markers & have added some glamour dust to her flowers & the shawl that she's wearing.


All of the papers are off cuts that I had left over from various different paper pads, I keep everything as I just can't bring myself to throw pretty paper away.


The lovely butterfly is from Live & Love crafts Wycinanka Chipboard collection called Summer Butterfly. I have added a little glamour dust to that aswell.


Thank you for stopping by & please make sure you pop over to the Art by Miran Challenge & see what the rest of the DT have come up with & join in as we love to see all your gorgeous creations.

Hope you have a fab day

Here comes the Bride


Good Morning,

I'm a tad bit late with my post today, unfortunately i haven't been overly well these past few weeks & now I've been diagnosed with a shoulder problem that is currently making my whole arm & hand go numb so colouring anything is taking an age.

Thankfully I managed to colour up this gorgeous stamp before the pain set in for the new Art by Miran Challenge Challenge that has started today, as usual the theme is 

Anything Goes.


I have coloured up Bella the Bride from the Art by Miran Whimsy Stamps collection & you can find her Here. I have coloured her with Copic Markers & the bouquet with Prisma pencils.



The Papers are from my stash & the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


Thank you for stopping by & please pop on over to the Art by Miran Challenge blog & join in with this Anything Goes Challenge.

Hope you have a fab day

Berry nice indeed


Good Morning,

Wow it's the 1st July where is this year going, unfortunately I think the summer weather has forgotten about us as it's been grey & rainy for ages now. When we do see the sun we get a bit confused as to what it is lol

It's challenge time again over at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge & it's a nice easy Anything Goes theme for this month. We have a super sponsor as Art by Miran is sponsoring us, her digi's are just gorgeous.


I have coloured up Berrylicious using copic markers, I've gone for a slightly different hair colour as I thought that normal hair colour just wouldn't look right.


I have added a little stickles to the berries but sadly it doesn't show up on the pics.


I have distressed the edges of the papers using a Tim Holtz tool. The flowers are some from my stash mixed with Wild Orchid Crafts paper flowers.
