Morning Everyone
I've made this card for the LOTV Facebook challenge, which is a colour challenge including red and green so I thought a christmas card would be ideal.
I've coloured her up with copics almost the same as on a previous card, except for her scarf, and added a snowflake border die, glitter and stickles. The papers are First Edition. The stamp is discontinued now, but you can still buy it from the LOTV outlet shop on Ebay.
My daughter came out of hospital last Thursday. She'd torn some tissue in her neck and cracked a couple of ribs so thankfully it wasn't too bad in the end.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
The Crafty Addicts - Anything Goes
Allsorts - Use at least 2 DPs
Dragonfly Dreams - Patterned paper
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
Ribbon Girl - Any Card
Polkadoodles - Anything Goes
Have a good week and thank you for visiting. If you have time to leave a comment it is much appreciated.

AYLI DT - FLORA OR FAUNA
Morning Everyone,
I hope you are all having a good week. Mine's not been so good. My daughter fainted whilst coming down the stairs on Monday night and banged her head at the bottom. We spent over 10 hours in A&E before being transferred to a ward. I arrived back home at 8 a.m. in the morning, had an hour or so sleep, then went back for another 2 hours and she's still waiting for an MRI scan whilst I am typing. It was horrendous in A&E with ambulance crews having to queue in corridors with their patients until a bed became free. No wonder they take a long time to arrive sometimes, they're all queuing in the hospital! This isn't a rant about the crews, they do a great job, it's the system and how they're so short staffed etc etc.
Anyway moaning bit over, it's time for another challenge over at As You Like It and this fortnight's theme is to showcase a project using your favourite Flora or Fauna (and don't forget to tell us why it is your favourite please).
I do love both, but nearly always tend to colour Fauna rather than flowers as they are cuter and I do like cute. My little cuties do often tend to be holding flowers though as in the card I made for this challenge. Generally, I use flowers more as an embellishment.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting. If you have time to leave a comment that would be nice, I do love to read them and they are much appreciated.

I used a fairly old LOTV Posy Trio stamp, but only 2 of them, coloured with copics and a LOTV sentiment. I cut part of the front of the card off and shaped both edges with the Die-namics stitched scallop basic edges 2 set. The paper is from the Works and little sequins were added to match.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE CUTIES - CUTE COUPLES
Morning Everyone,
I hope you're having a good Bank Holiday weekend. The weather has been lovely here so I hope it has for you.
It's time for another challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme this time is "Cute Couples".
This is the card I've made.
This is a LOTV image coloured with copics. I've added glitter and stickles to the snow and fur on the little girl's coat. The papers are First Edition and a LOTV sentiment, ribbon, snowflake die cuts and mini pom pom trim finish it off. I really like the colour way and am pleased with how it's turned out. I think my daughter and her partner may be getting it for Christmas :) .

AYLI DT - FUR OR FEATHERS
Morning Everyone,
It's time for another challenge over at As You Like It and this fortnight's theme is to showcase a project using your favourite, Fur or Feathers ( and don't forget to explain why please).

It's definitely fur for me. I like cuddly and cute and I don't really see birds in that way. It's lovely to have a warm cuddly dog on your knee (which is where ours always seem to want to be!) and they always give you so much love too.
For my card I've used a Wild Rose Studio stamp, Bunny and Butterfly.
I used a sketch from a recent Come and Get It challenge. My mojo seems to have disappeared somewhere so I found it easier to follow that. The papers are Nitwit collections and I've used the large Spellbinders floral oval. The stamp is coloured with copics and I've layered the butterfly.

LOTV Robin
Afternoon Everyone,
This is a quick card I made with one of the new Christmas LOTV stamps. It's fairly plain as I seemed to have been short on ideas at the time and wanted to keep it fairly flat for posting.
I've coloured him with copics and used an old pre-printed sentiment (I think from craftwork cards, but not sure). Papers used are Nitwit collections.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland - Use Ribbon, twine or lace
Sir Stampalot - Anything Goes
C.R.A.F.T. - Christmas
Penny Black at Allsorts - All Creatures Great and Small
Fab n Funky - Anything Goes
Christmas at Sweet Stampin - Anything Goes
I hope you all have a good weekend. We're going to York to visit relatives and out for a meal.

AYLI DT - FAVOURITE EMBELLISHMENT
Morning Everyone
It's time for another challenge at As You Like It and this fortnight's theme is to showcase a project using your favourite embellishment (and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite please).
I have made a baby card for my daughter's friend and although I love all the usual embellishments, i.e. flowers, pearls etc., another of my favourites are the heart shaped doilies. I love them, they are so pretty, quick and easy to use without adding bulk to a card.

SMALL AND QUICK
Morning Everyone
I hope you've had a good weekend.
I have a little card to share with you today and I do mean little. It is just over 4 inches, and was super quick to make. I might do a few more like this.
I had another play with my Reindeer Games stamp set. I think these reindeer are so cute! I coloured this little one up and added 2 of the extras you get with the set. I die cut them out and stuck them onto the stitched circle.
I matted him onto a scrap of red card and then searched through my christmas oddments to find a suitable piece for the the stitched banner from Creative Expressions.
I embossed my fave Merry Christmas sentiment in silver, added glossy accents to his nose and that's it!
I hope you like.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
ABC Christmas - Q for quick
Addicted to Stamps & More - Holiday
Crafty Friends - Christmas in July
Pixie's Snippets Playground - 293/4
Sir Stampalot - Anything Goes
