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!

Lacy Sunshine Ch #12 - Anything Goes

Hey everyone!  It's time for Challenge #12 at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge and the theme, as always, is ANYTHING GOES, but must include a hand coloured image!

As always, Heather has a free digi for you to grab on the challenge page, if you would like to use it for the challenge.   Only entries using a Lacy Sunshine image will be eligible for the Winner prize, which is a huge $30 worth of digis to spend in the Lacy Sunshine Store.  All other entries will qualify for the Top Three prizes of their choice of 2 digis each and a fab blinkie!

Heather provided my lucky Teamies and I with the most adorable festive digis to play with.  They are her latest release, all brand new and sparkly and eagerly awaiting good homes :)  To kick off the challenge this time, it's Team Lexie's turn to go first and you really need to head on over to see what they've created for you this time ...... after you've seen my little creation, of course!! LOL

Here's my card showcasing the sweetest little tin soldier you ever did see .....
meet Lil Bows - Tin Soldier
Told you she was sweet :)

Absolutely adored colouring this little lady up and had a whole lot of fun embellishing too - it's the first Christmas card I've made this year and really can't wait to make my next one!

To frame Lil Bows, I used four snowflake dies and cut each in half to edge - a bit of faffing about but I'm happy with the result.  I'm excitedly awaiting some fab new dies, which are also now available to buy in Heather's store HERE
