Snowflake Garland

Good morning !

Oh how I needed that extra hour this morning. With Phil being away the last couple of weeks and Hal now being at Uni, I've been home alone and it's very quiet, so very quiet. And I can't sleep! 

I can't get to sleep and then I'm awake early...like 6am early last Sunday. I don't get up at that hour when I'm working, so I needed that extra hour in bed today.

There is a plus side to being home alone...less washing and ironing and less cleaning which only goes to prove what I already knew...that it's boys that make all the mess.

I was off work last week and I managed to get through most of the jobs I had planned and still had some play time :)

This is the gorgeous Snowflake Garland Marci.

As usual, she's coloured with DI's but all markers this time.

I love colouring Marci but I must try and colour her hair in a different shade, I always colour her blonde and I don't know why?

The papers were a gift last Christmas from Maria - thank you sweetie ♥

Ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl, Vintage Ivory Fluted Sheer and Ivory Satin Ribbon.

Lots of glamour dust on the snowflake garland, and on the chipboard snowflake.

Thanks for looking.

Love 'n' hugs

Sugar 'n' Spice.

And all things nice

That's what little (and big) girls are made of.

I coloured Sugar 'n' Spice Marci the last time I was off work on holiday...it feels like such a long time ago!

I really need to take more holidays, I love being at home just pottering around in my pj's.

Thankfully I don't have too long to go now before I'm off work again...and I'm counting down the days.

The image is Sugar 'n' Spice Marci from La-La Land.

She's coloured with DI markers, with a sprinkling of Glamour Dust on her hairband and the heart on the cupcake.

The papers are MME...aptly named 'The Sweetest Thing'.

A couple of ribbons, and a few pearls.

I think she's just adorable ♥

Thanks for looking.

Totally Tilda Challenge ~ 82

Good Morning my lovelies.

I'm back today with a card for the Totally Tilda challenge, and the theme for the next fortnight is "Halloween Tilda".

This is a first for me - I've never made a Halloween card before!

I'm not into the whole thing though I do always buy sweets for the kiddies that come a-calling.

This Tilda definitely comes under the heading 'Too Cute to Spook'.

She's been coloured with DI markers.

The papers are from Doodlebug Design, as are the gems, which were a gift off a lovely lady...thank you honey.

The cute little bat was also a gift off another lovely buddy - she sent me a bag full of fabby Halloween embellies as she knew I didn't own any myself...thank you too honey.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is...

And the prize for one lucky winner is this fabulous set of clear stamps.

If you pop on over to the Totally Tilda blog you'll find lots of inspiration and the most Spooktacular creations from the other girlies.

Thanks for looking.
