Hi lovely peeps! Hope you're all well and happy on this beautiful, November day! Okay, so it started off a bit rubbish, but brightened up eventually :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I thought I'd share my first EVER Magnolia stamp .... eeeeep!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's taken me a while to getting around to purchasing one, but my mind was truly made up after I kept seeing the most stunning creations around fb and blogland with these cuties as centre stage! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also my first try at the white embossing technique, which was a whole lot of fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, my little one today is called Devine Tilda and you can find her <a href="http://bunnyzoescrafts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_159_90&products_id=9981&zenid=n998horf67rhut4od1pk76d701">HERE</a>.<br />

I bought a little wooden hanging heart from the range and thought she'd sit perfectly on here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used DP's from Maja Design and edged the heart with twine edging. Behind little Tilda is half of a die-cut heart and more twine edging, which I fiddled about with to mat underneath her. I embossed the beautiful metal butterfly with frantage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tilda is coloured up with my fave medium at the moment .... DI's. Love them!</div>

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing a 50th Birthday commissioned card, which I was asked to make using the very beautiful Tilly Fairy from Saturated Canary. Tilly was originally only available in rubber, however, Krista kindly made her into digital for all us SC lovers and I'm so, so pleased she did :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find this beauty <a href="https://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/tilly-fairy">HERE</a>.</div>

I coloured Tilly up with my DI's and matted and layered her onto the very gorgeous 'Rose Cottage Charms' digital papers from <a href="http://www.michelerdesigns.com/store/p402/%2A%2A%2A_INSTANT_DOWNLOAD_%2A%2A%2A_Rose_Cottage_Charms_6x6.html">M R Designs</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The twine edging at the top was from The Range, (love that shop LOL), as was the little 'picture frame', which i embossed with Frantage. The flowers are a mixture, which can be found at <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> and <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/">The Ribbon Girl</a>. The beautiful lace was a fab find from Ebay and the delicate little butterfly on the left is from my stash :)</div>

You can tell winter's coming ..... stepped outside this morning and it's flipping freezing!! Mind you, anything under 20 degrees is freezing to me LOL. I'm so NOT a fan of this cold weather malarkey!</div>

I think I went a little Die Crazy on this card! I used a Tim Holtz 'Bracket' Die to shape the card, a <a href="http://www.joannasheen.com/craft-supplies/cutting-dies/signature-dies/signature-dies-lace-corners-and-edges/signature-dies-lace-edger-2-sd010/">Lace Edge</a> die for the top of the card and various heart dies. The design papers are from <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Paper_Pads.html">LOTV</a>. The lace, ribbon and sentiment were from my stash. The pearl string, pearl gems and hearts are all from <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/">The Hobby House</a>. </div>

Hiya lovely peeps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a brand new release happening today over at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ThatCraftPlaceLtd?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav">That Craft Place Ltd</a> and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! Lots of fabulous images have been added to the store and I've had the pleasure of colouring a couple of them up :)<br />

Good Morning Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'd like to share with you all another adorable image from Saturated Canary called <a href="https://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/reader">Reader</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is just so beautiful and I had a lot of fun colouring her up and creating a little background for her! I'm still getting to know my Distress Inks and so, I know the colouring isn't perfect, but I'm pretty pleased with the overall effect :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I just love the soft feel these DI's achieve and used embellishments to compliment both the image and colours. The flowers are from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/">Wild Orchid Crafts</a>, the little rolled flower is from <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/rolled-paper-flowers-blue-roses-kort-godt-p-1200.html">The Ribbon Girl</a> and the beautiful Shabby Pearl Rose Organza Trim if from <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/lace-ribbon-string-/1135-shabby-pearl-rose-organza-trim-20mm.html?search_query=rose+ribbon&results=5">Live & Love Crafts</a>. The lace was a bargain from Ebay any the little pom pom trim I bought from my local craft shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to create a little book shelf to complete the look - a little fiddly to be honest, but I wasn't going to be beaten! I folded papers here and there to make the 'books' and 'pages', then added a little 'shelf' made from paper to which i added metal embellishments to the edges.</div>

Hey lovely peeps!! I hope you are all keeping well and happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe it's been almost two months since I created a blog post!! I've taken some time out from DT work for now as, apart from working and spending quality time with my beautiful family, I'm in the process of planning a wedding!! Yep!! <b>MY WEDDING!! </b> Eeeek!! Oh, and obviously it's my fiance's wedding too LOL. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of weeks back, I got an amazing bargain on some Distress Re-Inkers! I didn't want to let this bargain slip by and so went in, full throttle, and bought them. Bear in mind I've never used them in my entire life, but was desperate to have a play. I'm so pleased I took the plunge as I'm absolutely loving them! I have so much to learn, but, I'm being extremely patient with myself and having a little go every now and then when I get the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card I'm showing today is the very first one I created using an image coloured up with my new inks! My previous attempts of colouring ended up in the bin!!! Heehee! I played it safe and made this one for my eldest daughter's 28th birthday. Yep!! She's 28 but she'll always be my 'little princess' .....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My papers are from <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Paper_Pads.html">Lili of the Valley</a> called Country Lady, which I distressed. The flowers are a mixture from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/">Wild Orchid Crafts</a>, <a href="http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/catalog/">The Ribbon Girl</a> and <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/">Live & Love Crafts</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
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 :)</div>

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday to you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here today to share with you my <b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">LAST</span></b> 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. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, a massive <b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THANK YOU</span></b> goes out to Mi Ran for being so brilliant to work for and to the fabulous Artbymiran DT girls! You Rock!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, for <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/2014/08/challenge-13-anything-goes.html">Challenge 13</a>, which, as always, is <span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>ANYTHING GOES</b></span> using a hand coloured image, I have created with the very sassy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/160166376/digital-digi-stamp-cupids-little?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=cupid">Cupid's Little Helper</a> who takes centre stage in this cute little shadow box!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured this little cutie in Prismacolors and thought the cute little sentiment from <a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.co.uk/">Create with TLC</a> was perfect for her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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 <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/">WOC</a> on the inside. The little bead heart was 'painted' black with a Copic pen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little side view just to show the dimension on this cute box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attached the gorgeous pearl string from the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/">Hobby House</a> 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 <a href="http://www.joannasheen.co.uk/craft-supplies/signature-dies-by-joanna-sheen/">Joanna Sheen</a> and voila!! All done :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will join Mi Ran and her fabulous DT girls in the Challenge this time!</div>

For today's project, I have inked up this beautiful image by Crissy Armstrong called </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
' A Girl and Her Pumpkin'.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured this gorgeous girl in Prismacolor Pencils and chalked the background. The beautiful papers are <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/185061297/emerald-isle-instant-download-digital?ref=shop_home_active_16">Emerald Isle</a> 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 :)</div>

Hi everyone and a Happy Friday to you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all keeping well and still happily crafting! I've had a bit of a lapse with my craftiness of late! My mojo seems to have decided to play 'hide and seek' and, for the life of me, I can't seem to seek it out! Don't you just hate it when that happens LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, enough of my lack of creativeness ....... I'm hoping your creative juices are flowing at full speed as it's time for <b>CHALLENGE 11 </b>over on the <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/2014/07/challenge-11-anything-goes.html" target="_blank">Artbymiran Challenge Blog</a>. </div>

As always, it's <span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>ANYTHING GOES</b></span> using a hand coloured image!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apologise in advance, but this is a VERY HEAVY picture post!!! I have had the absolute pleasure of colouring up this little beauty from Mi Ran's new range of stamps in rubber, which can be found at the Whimsy Stamps store <a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=19_86" target="_blank">HERE.</a> This particular image is called</div>

<b>CHAMPAGNE LUCY</b> and you can find her <a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_86&products_id=3315" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made another tissue box for a very good friend of mine and I just had to colour up Champagne Lucy as she has a huge resemble to my lovely friend!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured this darling image with Prismacolor Pencils to compliment my beautiful new digital papers from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/191423377/autumn-shabby-blue-instant-download?ref=shop_home_active_17" target="_blank">M R Design</a> - called 'Autumn Shabby Blue'.</div>

I attached lace, ribbon and pearls (from my stash) all along the top side of the box and a length of <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/embellishments-c6/pearl-strings-c152/the-hobby-house-pearl-strings-daisy-string-2-metres-p1960" target="_blank">pearl string</a> from the Hobby House, along the bottom side.</div>

The butterflies and birthday quotes are from a kit I bought from Kanban many moons ago and of which I was thrilled to bits that they matched up perfectly with the colourway. I added a few more pearls to the butterfly and sentiment.</div>

As I did with my other tissue box, which you can find <a href="http://candicraftcards.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/scribble-scrap-14-anything-goes.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>, I added a mini 'feather boa' around the top!

I coloured this gorgeous girl with Prismacolor pencils and thoroughly enjoyed bringing this little beauty to life! I created a little wall hanger using the backing board of one of my 6" x 6" paper packs and covered with 'plain & simple' digital papers from <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRIBRELhgqr7CY6DvT2wgmOuMqrP3uUltTS_4t1CIRLHsCxs5P1-uGi21vx50M2p9aodcM2fPKyG8gfxor5GcMI08-IB0z4J2zFtCjGzsNel4txm4Qdkc4Hyq3FD_-W52GpWgyyKj7bw/s1600/Plain+%2526+Simple+Preview.jpg" target="_blank">Bearly Mine Designs</a>. The beautiful flowers are a mixture from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a>, the pearl string is from the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/search/pearl-string" target="_blank">Hobby House</a> and the little shells are from my stash.<br />

Hey Everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you're all well and happily crafting :) I've been running around like a mad thing this last couple of weeks and, sadly, not a lot of crafting has been done! Everytime I feel I'll have a free moment to craft, something else crops up and I have to put it aside!! Ah well, such is life hey?</div>

I coloured this little lady up with Prismacolor pencils and, for once, I kept the card pretty simple. The paper was from my stash, which I thought was perfect for this image, and I printed a larger version of the image and coloured and cut out the leaves to pop on top of the jute fabric border with 3D pads.</div>

Hiya lovely crafty peeps! Hope you're all well and happy :) I'm super happy right now .... it was my birthday on Wednesday and I got extremely spoilt! My daughters treated me to my first ever Pandora charm bracelet!! Oh my word! How excited was I? They are both very lucky to already have one of these beautiful little gems and I was always a little envious LOL .... they probably just wanted to shut me up hehe!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another reason for me being super happy right now is that I'm finally off for my very own wedding dress fitting tomorrow!! Eeeeek! I'm so happy right now I could burst! Wedding plans are well underway .... let's just hope I don't turn into Bridezilla .....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The hugely talented Mi Ran has been working up an absolute treat for you all with her newest images. I love all of her images, which you can find <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and it's always such a difficult choice of which one to use! I decided to colour up the adorable <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/192864847/digital-stamp-pretty-molly-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=Pretty%2BMolly" target="_blank">PRETTY MOLLY</a> and here she is ......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She's certainly pretty for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured her up with Prismacolor Pencils (love playing with these at the moment) then fussy cut her out and popped her onto the card 3D style. The papers are from LOTV and I die-cut the top edge using a <a href="http://www.joannasheen.co.uk/craft-supplies/signature-dies-by-joanna-sheen/lace-corners-and-edges/signature-dies-lace-edger-2-sd010/" target="_blank">Lace Edge Signature Die</a> from Joanna Sheen.

A little close up for you ..... I know I need more practice on blending the pencils together to get a much smoother look, but I am trying .... honest!! ;)</div>

Morning everyone and a Happy Wednesday to you all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my turn again for a little inspiration over at the <a href="http://thehobbyhouseltd.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobby House Blog</a>. This month we have been showcasing the fabulous NEW <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/search/art-books" target="_blank">Elisabeth Bell Art Books</a>. Each book holds a total of 5 x 6 darling images all printed onto quality cardstock ready for you to colour up at your will.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My third piece of inspiration this month is a gorgeous image from the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/art-books-colour-your-own-c159/the-hobby-house-ready-to-colour-art-book-summer-sweetness-p1988" target="_blank">Summer Sweetness</a> book and here she is:</div>

Morning Everyone! Hope you're all keeping fit and well and enjoying this beautiful weather we're having at the moment! You've gotta love a bit of sunshine ...... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're already onto <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Challenge 8</a> at Artbymiran with lots more loveliness to share from my fab DTeamies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, it's an ANYTHING GOES challenge - how easy peasy is that? All we ask is that you use a hand coloured image - a little low down on the rules can be found <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/p/rule.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to have a little go at the 'no lines' colouring for my creation this time. I've never tried it before and it's probably not as 'invisible' as some of the fab creations I've seen around blog land, but I did have a lot of fun with it :) The little lady taking centre stage on my door hanger is the very adorable</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Isn't she just the cutest .... and there's oodles more of Mi Ran's fabulous images to be found in her store <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured Sweet Cheeks' skin and hair with Copics and her clothes and hair accessory with Prismacolor Pencils. The gorgeous papers are called Always & Forever from <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Paper_Pads.html" target="_blank">Lili of the Valley</a> and I distressed the edges for a shabby feel. The little wooden hanging heart at the top was from The Range, which I covered in the same papers, then added some little wooden stars which I frantaged. I also frantaged around the gorgeous Sweet Cheeks, as you can probably tell LOL. The beautiful flowers are from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank">WOC</a> and the all important door hanger and little pearl hearts are from the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobby House</a>.</div>

Hey Everyone! Hope you're all fine and dandy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been seeing some gorgeous creations on Kraft card lately and so, just for a bit of fun, I decided to have a little more playing time with my new Prismacolor pencils and gave it a whirl. It's all a bit trial and error at the moment, but the pencils are starting to grow on me now ...... kinda ......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd colour up the very gorgeous <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/princess-honor" target="_blank">Princess Honor</a> by Saturated Canary and here's the little lady herself ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Okay! So the nose is far from perfect, I got a little stroppy with her skin colour as I didn't have a clue which colours to use and I could've blended a bit more but, overall, I'm quietly pleased with the overall effect ......LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The gorgeous flowers are from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank">WOC</a>. The twine, pearl string and jute are all from <a href="http://www.liveandlovecrafts.com/1-home" target="_blank">LLC</a>.

Good Morning lovely peeps! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my turn to share a little bit of inspiration over at the <a href="http://thehobbyhouseltd.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobby House Blog</a> and, for the beautiful month of June, (taking no notice of the rubbish weather) myself and my fabulous DTeamies will be showcasing our little makes using the fabulous <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>NEW</b></span> <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/search/art-books" target="_blank">Elisabeth Bell Art Books</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love these little gems as the beautiful images are all cut and ready for you to colour up and create with! Another thing, the cardstock is brilliant to colour onto!! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first inspirational piece is using an image from the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/art-books-colour-your-own-c159/the-hobby-house-ready-to-colour-art-book-summer-sweetness-p1988" target="_blank">Summer Sweetness Art Book</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Qbzlu5XVm43RNo-g3Eyo0rqgHjzpWySJUSpps1r6YXLTOB0vCPURDc9SbrCHAL15thrXeIbm1NpdV2-etda6wazoL86mlJMIviAJWS8E1r23yet0LzqZ4icdm5W2wJRnBoctcpo8gQL8/s1600/HH+Colour+Blue+Peach+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Qbzlu5XVm43RNo-g3Eyo0rqgHjzpWySJUSpps1r6YXLTOB0vCPURDc9SbrCHAL15thrXeIbm1NpdV2-etda6wazoL86mlJMIviAJWS8E1r23yet0LzqZ4icdm5W2wJRnBoctcpo8gQL8/s1600/HH+Colour+Blue+Peach+1.png" height="392" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured this gorgeous girly with Copics in the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dress: B000, B00, B02, B05</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blouse: YR00, YR02, YR61</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Skin: E000, E00, E11</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hair/Shoes/Brown Trim: E31, E33, E35, E37, E51</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I inked around the image to give it a softer edge and to blend in with the papers, which are <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Paper_Pad_-_Bear_Necessities.html" target="_blank">Bear Necessities</a> from LOTV. The butterfly edge die is from Joy Crafts, the small individual butterflies are a Signature Die and the scalloped circle die is from Sizzix.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beautiful embellishments, from the flowers to the pearls and pearl string can all be found at the <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">HOBBY HOUSE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't she just a beautiful image?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Hiya everyone and a Happy Friday to you all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time again folks! A fresh challenge is up and running at <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Artbymiran</a> - can you believe we are already on <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/2014/05/challenge-7-anything-goes.html" target="_blank">Challenge #7</a>? Wow!! How time flies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, it's an <span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>ANYTHING GOES</b></span> challenge! All we ask is that you use a hand coloured image on your creation - a low down of the rules can be found <a href="http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/p/rule.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing with you <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran/search?search_query=little+garden+sally&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">Little Garden Sally</a>. This little lady was part of a set which Mi Ran kindly offered as a freebie last week as a Member Celebration on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/artbymiran/" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a>. I hope you didn't miss out as she's truly a little beauty to colour up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card for my adorable little Granddaughter, Lola, who was 5 years old yesterday! Bless her little heart - she opened it, had an intake of breath and said 'Oh Nanny! It's soooo beautiful' Awww, how super sweet is that? Heehee! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did something a little different this time and used Prismacolor Pencils on the majority of my image - apart from her face!! How scary was this? I'm a Copic girl at heart, but have desperately wanted to try another medium for a while now. Bought my new pencils a little while back and kept getting them out of the box, having a little scribble, then putting them back again! LOL. It's not the greatest pencil colouring, but not too bad for a 1st attempt hopefully? ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Shabby Chic papers from <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Paper_Pads.html" target="_blank">Lili of the Valley</a> and the gorgeous array of flowers and pearl flowers are all from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a>. The butterflies at her side are little wooden ones, which I coloured up and glittered. The gorgeous pink butterfly and small clear domes are from my stash from donkeys' years ago - I had a little de-clutter of my craft room the other week and found them again LOL.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A little close up for you - as you can probably tell, more practice is needed with my pencils but at least I managed to actually colour a whole image this time with them instead of just scribbling heehee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll join us again for the challenge and check out my lovely DTeamies' creations too whilst you're there. If you haven't already done so, head on over to our FB page to join in with some fab competitions we have going on there too!</div>

Happy Friday Everyone!! I hope you are all keeping well and still happily crafting! It feels like an age since I've been on here and I apologise for being neglectful ......

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We had some fabulous entries for our last challenge and hope to see lots of gorgeousness again this time! The challenge is, as always, <span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>ANYTHING GOES</b></span> ...... you can create whatever you like as long as you use a hand coloured image.

You can find her, along with a whole load of beauties, in Mi Ran's shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/artbymiran?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't she just adorable? I love the gentleness of Mi Ran's images and just adore colouring them in and bringing them to life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little lady is coloured with Copics in the following:</div>

Hi Everyone - hope you're all keeping well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my turn for a little inspiration today at the <a href="http://thehobbyhouseltd.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobby House</a> and, as we have been showcasing the fabulous new toppers this month by Kenny K, Elisabeth Bell and Wee Stamps for our <a href="http://hobbyhousechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">April Challenge</a>, I have kept within the theme of New Toppers and thought I'd share with you this little box I decorated using the adorable <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/die-cut-card-toppers-c46/elisabeth-bell-topper-collection-c143/the-hobby-house-elisabeth-bell-summer-splash-p1826" target="_blank">Summer Splash</a> toppers by Elisabeth Bell.</div>
