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!

It's Exhausting Being Cute!

Morning Everyone! Hope you all had a fab weekend!  I know that, for some of you, it's the first day back at work today ....... it's a chore isn't it! LOL.  I had to drag myself back there last Thursday, but at least I got to break in gently I guess, being the end of the week and all.  My little one is not best pleased that he's back at school today either! We've had such a fabulous break and reality bites a bit at times, but I'm sure we'll all get back into the swing of it again before you know it :)

Creative Creations Challenges is up and running today and, for now, it's going to be a Just For Fun challenge.  The theme for this next fortnight is ANYTHING GOES!

As there isn't a sponsor with a JFF challenge, we have been given a free reign in what we can create with and I have chosen this gorgeous image from Kith & Kin and this li'l lady is called Ella Head .....


Isn't she a little cutie?
I coloured her up with Copics using E000, E00, E11 for skin and V000, V12, V15, V17 for hair.



I fussy cut around her and rested little Ella on black cardstock, which I punched and glittered on the bottom edge.


The adorable sentiment is from Create with TLC, which was a fabulous freebie a little while back.  I thought it was a perfect match for this cutie.  I die-cut, glittered and adhered the sentiment with the edges flat and raised middle to give a bit of depth.  The gorgeous blooms are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the silver berries and lilac pearl string are both from Live and Love Crafts.

I hope you'll come & join in the fun at Creative Creations Challenges and, as it's Anything Goes, why wait?
We so look forward to seeing what you create!

I'd like to enter little Ella into the following:
