Good Morning lovely friends, Happy Wednesday!

We have a new challenge starting today at

P is for Paper Piecing 

(Christmas Paper Piecing only though)!

The prize for the lucky winner of this challenge is

a $12 gift card from the fabulous

Sami's Stamps

For my card I have used Sami's too cute digi Present Pups

I coloured those adorable pups with Copics and paper pieced the present box with papers from Wild Rose Studio's Holly Lane Collection.

I opted for a simple layout using the same paper.

...and here we are, Present Pups, I'd be happy to wake up and find those cuties under the tree!

Lili of the Valley Sneak Peak - Calendar Girls!

Good Morning...

Today's card is my second sneak peak of one of the adorable LOTV new launch 

Calendar Fairies.  My sneaky peaky is for October.

I decided to do something a little different and paper pieced the pumpkin and leaves with papers from Lili of the Valley's One Birdie Lane Collection.  I did add some touches of colour to the paper pumpkin with Copics to try and create some depth.

I coloured the rest of the image with Copics and used some of the same papers to create layers and some die cuts.

Finally, I added some buttons and stamped the October sentiment.

Here we are, a real cutie giving us a wave from the pumpkin patch!

Time for Tea...

Good afternoon friends...

I don't usually do this but I am squeezing in an extra blog post today.  Reason being - I really want to support lovely Fi Robertson at Handmade Bliss with her first new blog challenge.

So...this card is made with the gorgeous Stamping Bella stamp, 

Maisie and Madeleine Have Tea.

I have combined Copic colouring and paper piecing for the tea cup and flower.  I have never done that before! (and mutters under breath 'I am not sure I will do it again!!).  Friends and followers will be aware that am not a great fan of fussy cutting...I can't even cut in a straight line using a guillotine!

Anyway, I stuck with it and ended up fairly pleased with the result...good old 'Dr U Tube' helped out...!

I used some papers from Maja Designs to create mats and layers and added some hand stitching (oh yes!! time on my hands obviously...well obviously not as I have hardly any time left to add my card to the linky thingy and am frantically trying to type faster)!

Lack of time helped me to decide to keep the card fairly simple so I added a bit of twine and some flowers and left it at that.

So Maisie and Madeleine having tea...which is exactly what I plan to do as soon as I have pressed the publish button!

I would like to enter this card for the following Challenge -
