Sugar, Spice and Betty Boots have arrived!! NEW Digi Release

Hiya lovely peeps! I hope you're all keeping well and ship-shape! 

I have a couple of fabby, brand new, shiny, digi images to share with you all today!! Woohooo!!!

I was so excited to be asked to join in on this gorgeous new release of 

SUGAR & SPICE 

and, of course, I jumped at the chance!  I absolutely adore these fab, fun images!!  

The two creations I'm about to share with you all feature the very cute, Sugar ..... however, there are more digis available, which feature both Sugar AND Spice, along with the gorgeous new release of 

BETTY BOOTS!!  

You can find the whole array of these brand spanking new digis at That Craft Place Ltd's Etsy Store HERE

  

Firstly I'd like to introduce 'Sugar Frosted' ........

Isn't she just AMAZING!!!  I love the fact that these images allow you to be as creative and adventurous as you dare to be!  I coloured Sugar Frosted up with Prismacolor Pencils and went for non-traditional Christmas colours (as you can tell lol).  The sentiment can also be found from That Craft Place Ltd and, of course, I coloured it up to match Sugar Frosted :)

Now to introduce 'Love from Sugar'......

Also coloured up with Prismacolors :)

Don't forget to head on over to That Craft Place Ltd to see ALL of the new releases!  You can also grab yourself a discount by joining in on That Craft Place Natter & Chatter page on fb!

Hope to see you there and thanks for popping by here today!

Big hugs xx

Cupid's Little Helper

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday to you all!

I'm here today to share with you my LAST project as a DT member for the fabulous Mi Ran of Artbymiran!  With so much going on in my personal life at the moment, I took the really difficult decision to step down from her fabulous DT! I feel her beautiful images should be showcased to the fullest but, alas, for the time being anyway, I just simply don't have the time to be able to do them justice and feel it's only right to step away for a little while.  

So, a massive THANK YOU goes out to Mi Ran for being so brilliant to work for and to the fabulous Artbymiran DT girls! You Rock!!

So, for Challenge 13, which, as always, is ANYTHING GOES using a hand coloured image, I have created with the very sassy Cupid's Little Helper who takes centre stage in this cute little shadow box!

I coloured this little cutie in Prismacolors and thought the cute little sentiment from Create with TLC was perfect for her!

I bought the wooden shadow box from Wilkinsons, painted it black and adhered patterned paper from my stash onto the inside 'walls' of the box, along with adding a couple of gorgeous flowers from WOC on the inside.  The little bead heart was 'painted' black with a Copic pen.

A little side view just to show the dimension on this cute box.

I attached the gorgeous pearl string from the Hobby House around the edge and popped the little white hearts to each corner.  Added a couple more flowers to the edge and the cute little diecut banner from Joanna Sheen and voila!! All done :)

I hope you will join Mi Ran and her fabulous DT girls in the Challenge this time!

Good Luck and Big Hugs to you all!

 For today's project, I have inked up this beautiful image by Crissy Armstrong called 

' A Girl and Her Pumpkin'.

I coloured this gorgeous girl in Prismacolor Pencils and chalked the background.  The beautiful papers are Emerald Isle by M R Designs.  I added cheesecloth between the layers and some twine to my little flower buttons.  The acorns and acorn shell came from a little nature walk with my little boy - left over from a school project he had to complete last year.  I know they're not from the sycamore tree .... but they do add more texture :)

Here's a little close up of this beautiful stamp
