Sugar Nellie "Puppy Love" Blog Hop!

Good Morning and welcome to my little part of the blog hop to showcase the fabulous new release of sweet stamps from Sugar Nellie.

You should have arrived here from the awesome card on Astrid's blog, but if you've just popped by and want to start at the beginning please go to the Sugar Nellie blog....you really don't want to miss any of the awesome cards the DT have created!
There are 7 new stamps for this release and I know you will love them all as much as I do!

The image I have used for my card is called ' Trip To The Park' and it will be available to buy today from Funky Kits along with the other 6 stamps.

Isn't she adorable taking her 2 furry friends for a walk?
She's been coloured with a mix of DI's and SU inkers and I chose the paler shades of ink to go with the very pretty Pion papers. As always the embellishments are pretty minimal, with a couple of punched flowers, a few pearls, a Doo Hickey Heart Swirl branch that was a gift off the lovely SuzieQ and the teeny weeny butterfly is a MFT set, another gift off my PA buddy Amanda.

The next blog for you to visit is the lovely Marianne and I know she has something stunning to show you.

Please remember to leave a comment on each of the blogs you visit to be in with a chance of winning some candy!!

Thanks for looking.

Sugar Bowl Challenge ~ 75

It seems like ages since I actually made anything...probably because it IS ages since I made anything :)
Between the frantic rushing around in the run up to Christmas and a cracked rib which seriously hampered my card making, since I couldn't find a comfortable position to colour in, I have very much missed my time spent playing with sweet rubber and pretty papers.

So I am delighted to be back with a card for the Sugar Bowl challenge. As always there is a sketch to follow, this time from the lovely Erika, and a nice 'n' easy optional theme of 'Birthdays'.

I have used another of my favourite stamps...

Oh yes..Pippi has come out to play again. Just in case there is anyone left in blogland that doesn't know this fact, I luvs Pippi...oh yes I do!
She's been coloured with a mix of DI's and SU inkers. The gorgeous papers are from my lovely friends at Crea Duymelot and you can find them HERE. A DooHickey swirl and a teeny flower, a few pearls and a sentiment from PTI.

The prize for one lucky winner is a choice of any 4 Sugar Nellie stamps, but if there are 100+ entries then the prize will increase to any 6 Sugar Nellie stamps.
As always, the Sweeties have created a gorgeous array of cards to give you some inspiration which you can
see on the Sugar Bowl blog, along with the rules of entry.

Thanks for looking.
