Baby Elephant - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Ours was very quiet, hubby was at work so it was just me and the teenagers! It's taken me a while to get round to do any colouring, but finally I had a play with this little elephant. He's just one of the brand new images due to be released by Lili of the Valley in January.

I've coloured him with promarkers and used a Creative expressions peony die for the flowers. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

There are lots of adorable new baby images due to be released in January, watch out for more gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your comments and encouragement.

I'd like to wish you all a very happy, healthy and crafty New Year.

Polkadoodles Snow Couple

Good Morning Everyone,
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get another card made before Christmas, but when I saw these cute snowmen from Polkadoodles, I just couldn't resist! There's a whole range of them and they are Too Cute!

I've coloured them with promarkers and the background paper is from Crafters Companion - Glistening snowflakes. I've used a Dees Dinstinctively Stacker Tree die and a Memory Box star. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes
Digi Chooseday  - Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

I'm usually running around getting everything ready to have a house full of family..but not this year. My mum and dad are staying safe at home, my brother and his family are doing the same and my hubby will be at work on a 12 hour shift.....so just me and the kids. Although it will feel very strange the most important thing is to keep everyone safe.

That just leaves one more thing...

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Snow Bird

Hello Everyone, 
It's that Stampendous snow bird again. Yesterday I attempted to colour him like a blue tit....today I tried to make him look like a coal tit!

I've coloured him with promarkers and added lots of glitter to the snow and around the edges - unfortunately the photo doesn't show it up very well. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley. I've used a Creative Expressions poinsettia die and added a few gems in the centre.

Snow Bird

Good Morning Everyone, 
I had a little bit of time to do some colouring yesterday and went to one of my favourite Stampendous stamps - Snow Bird. The last time I coloured him, he was a little robin. This time I tried a blue tit! Tomorrow he might be something else!

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Crafters Companion - Winter Wonderland.

I've used a Creative Expressions poinsettia die, a memory box tree die and a Joanna Sheen and a Hunkydory moonstone die for the pine fir. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Christmas Band - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
I'm still behind with my Christmas cards, but here's another one to knock off the list! I've used a few fabulous images from Lili of the Valley for this card. This is Christmas Band.

I used a larger 8" square card base for this one. The image is coloured with promarkers and fussy cut them. The background paper is from Craft Creations and I've used a Memory Box Tree die and a Tim Holtz holiday lamppost die. The sentiment die is from Creative expressions. I've used lots of 3d foam pads to give the card some dimension - however, it doesn't show up too good on the photo.
