Beccy's Place "Love Bear"

 Using my pencils again and I am quite happy with the outcome of "Love Bear". This image was a freebie on Beccy's blog.  A card perfect for the birth of a baby girl and I just know one that is coming up in March.

Bugaboo Stamps Friday Freebie

 Today's Freebie Friday is "Valentine Jar". This year I am trying to colour more with pencils just for a change.  Lately every time I pick up my Copics I need to refill them and it is getting to be quite costly.  I have heaps of pencils, some cheap and some a little more expensive, but I thought I would colour with the cheaper first.  They are a mixture of Faber Castell and Staedtler.  

 Here is my inspiration -

The link for the Friday Freebie is here or if you are reading this after a week, you can buy the image here.  Bugaboo Stamps Friday Freebie changes each Friday, so if you remember you can grab them each week.

See you soon

"Did You Ask for a Fairy"

For this inspirational card I have chosen The Paper Shelter background and fairy from "Did you Ask for a Fairy".  I have used a mixture of pencils (just Staedtler and Faber Castell I think, nothing too expensive) with the addition of a little Copic here and there.  I have also coloured the butterfly on the background to make it pop.  I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the wings.

"Susie" LeAnn's World 101 Progressive Challenge No. 41

 This card I created using LeAnn's World 101 Facebook Progressive Challenge image for January.  The image is also available to purchase here

I made the background using a pink rectangle and placed digital bows from the Polkadoodles Lily Bug Love collection and grounded the image with a piece of light pink check washi tape.  The sentiment from Power Poppy Big Ol' Box digital collection, however I changed the colour.

SheepSki Designs Facebook Challenge January 2021

 Our optional twist for our Facebook Challenge is "Feature a Creature".  I have decided to make some Christmas cards every month so I can feel a bit more organised in 2021.  I am even planning on sending them out as soon as our Christmas stamps are available, instead of the last two weeks of Christmas.  I love to give my recipients the option of reusing my Christmas cards so I insert a written sentiment inside with a light application of glue stick, then they have the option of pulling it out and reusing the card again.  I do have the concern of what happens to my handmade cards when they leave me - I guess us crafters think of that.

For this Facebook Challenge inspiration I have used Christmas Bunny

SheepSki Designs January 2021 Blog Challenge

 To start off our 2021 Blog Challenges, we are doing "Anything You Want".

I thought I would show you some last minute Christmas cards I made - you know for those friends you missed in your address book.  I loved this digi of Andrea's but I had already sent out my Christmas cards.  Then I thought I would whip up a few using this cutie and hopefully I would use them in 2020, and I did, the three of them.

Guess what Andrea called this digi - MASKED of course lol.

Please join us in the Blog Challenge.

Don't forget my followers can use the following discount code in the Etsy shop.
