beautiful blog candy in the mail :D

Yesterday brought some very happy mail for me....

This GORGEOUS blog candy that I won from the lovely Amy....

So last night I HAD to colour in this gorgeous Isadora (Sweet November stamp designed by Amy!) .. I thought she would look good on a tree... so after I stamped her I drew some branches under/ around her :D



Wanna know what Amy had to say about Isadora???

Meet Princess Isadora. She is a head-in-the-clouds daydreamer who spends her time gathering wild flowers and singing along with the babbling brook. Isadora's sweet nature is a natural attraction for all of the little forest critters and she loves to play with the animals. Her greatest wish that she makes everyday, with all her heart is to someday meet a magical unicorn during her adventures in the forest... perhaps in time she will. :)

YAY! I love this stamp .. she is so sweet!! THANKS AMY :D xxx



Copics used:
E000. E00, E11, R11, R22, 24, 27,29, Y21, 28, E23, 25, 27, 29, E31, 34, 37

Sweet November in October!

Good afternoon!!
I was so excited last week to receive a newsflash from Deb at Debs Creations last week to say she was having a sale on these gorgeous Sweet November Mermaids.. I just adore them and so I went to look and what do you know a couple of them jumped up and splashed into my basket! LOL! Anyway... meet Pearl Tidepool and Seamoor Turtle.


These gorgeous images Pearl and Seamoor are the creation of the lovely Amy Young and this is what she wrote about them...
"Pearl has traveled all the way from the Indian ocean and her little pal, Seamoor decided to tag along. This fun loving pair of friends love to ride the currents and dance through the waves. Pearl is always the life of any undersea party... all the fish love her! It must be the hilarious jokes she always tells... fish just love to laugh, ya know! ;) "

I am feeling a little nostalgic looking at that little turtle.. reminds me of the BIG turtle Guy and I saw whilst Scuba diving at Lord Howe Island last year (about NOW) ... ooh that was a fun and relaxing holiday!!!

Anyway, Thanks for popping past! Talk soon!!

Ocean Wavedancer and Echo

I have another AWESOME set of Sweet November digis (also available in rubber) that I got from All That Scraps.. More of Amy's gorgeous designs... this is Ocean Wavedancer and Echo the Dolphin... I just had to share this description with you all...

"Ocean is a free spirit who loves the vast playground of the open waters... the further from land the better (unless she's visiting SNLand that is). Her best friend is Echo the dolphin and together they leap and dive in an aquatic ballet of their own creation. Ocean always gets excited when a storm rolls through because the wild waves provide hours of entertainment and fun! :)"

I had a lot of fun colouring this in!!! When I was growing up I LOVED Dolphins and was given lots of different dolphin knicknacks.. so only right I should buy and use these gorgeous images right! LOL

Copics used..
backround - B00 B02, BG11, BG15, B12, 0
skin: E000, E00, E11

All That Scraps Wed Challenge

I have long been in admiration of the artwork of Amy - she makes the most amazing cards and draws exceptionally well! I LOVE her line of stamps that she designs AND the other night I was so pleased to be able to get a few Sweet November digi stamps from All That Scraps and I quickly started colouring them up :D so then I decided to enter the All That Scraps Wednesday challenge.. which this week is to make anything but a card!!

I always struggle with anything but a card but I had this box I wanted to alter/ decorate and so it was perfect timing... this box holds the different embellishments I have on hand to airbrush and so it was very fitting to airbrush it LOL ... I added the gorgeous Sweet November images (so fun to colour) and then added some adhesive lace and BLING... I was still deciding whether to include text... what do you think??

Here's some views from the side and to show what's inside!! :D
