A big welcome to all of my lovely followers and visitors to my little space in the crafting world of blogland! I love colouring, drool over every embellishment and love to 'look' at papers (never mind using them) - some are just TOO good to use lol. I hope you enjoy your little wander through my creative world and would love to feel that I may have inspired some of you in some small way. Happy Crafting to you all and I hope you will stop by again soon!

Curly Sue - Lioness

Hi everyone and a very happy Tuesday to you all - and a very Happy Birthday to ...... ME!! Yay!! Lol!  Oooh! Another year older (that's for sure) Another year wiser (not so sure) ha ha!

Well, I've been super busy since returning from my hols and, on my return to work last week I was very pleased to have a letter awaiting me which informed me I have now been promoted to Accounts Manager .... Woohoo!! My youngest daughter is also now working with me - Uh Oh! Double Trouble ;)

Anyway, enough of me and on to this delightful new Limited Edition Oz stamp created by the extremely talented, Heather Valentin.  She's called Curly Sue - Lioness and you can find her HERE alongside oodles of fantastic, gorgeous new releases!  A fab video of my Teamies' creations showcasing all of the Oz stamps can be seen HERE on the Lacy Sunshine blog.
Isn't she just adorable in all of her finery! 

I absolutely LOVED colouring her up and hope I've done her justice :)  I actually used both Copics and Spectrum Noirs for this li'l lady - I'm a little cross with some of my Copics at the moment (browns) as they're not behaving!! Therefore, my Spectrum Noirs had to save the day - I don't think they did too bad seeing as I haven't really used them properly for a long while!

My papers are from Pink Petticoat.  I bought them as a download two years ago and not sure if they're still available to be totally honest!  I thought they'd go perfectly with Curly Sue on this occasion - so pleased I remembered I had them lol.

I kinda went a little OTT with the Frantage but, hey, I had loads of fun with it!

Also, don't forget to hop on over to the Lacy Sunshine Challenge to see what else some of my Teamies have been creating over the weekend and to enter your creations - as always, it's ANYTHING GOES with a hand coloured image. 

Fran-tage and Bark Heart from Live and Love Crafts
Roses, Rhinestone Sparklers and Silver Rope Pearl Button from The Hobby House
Bling from stash
