Cuddy Buddly Digi Challenge Launch...

Welcome to the launch of the brand new CUDDLY BUDDLY DIGI CHALLENGE. I want to thank Kim for this opportunity to work alongside her and this talented Design Team. Each week there will be a new fun challenge with each member of the design teams showcasing a different image from all the incredibly talented artists at CUDDLY BUDDLY.

You can enter as many times as you like as long as the main focal image is from CUDDLY BUDDLY. The theme for our first challenge was chosen by the lovely Katie and it's "Brand New"... This can be something created for a new home, baby etc or it could be that you use a new embellishment, product or technique.

I was extremely lucky this week to be able to work with a couple of Barbara Williams' gorgeous BITS OF IVORY images. It was so hard choosing as all of Barbara's images are simply stunning.

For my card I chose A GOOD BOOK and added one of her beautiful GARDEN VIGNETTES TICKET SENTIMENTS. These are so lovely, I can see that I will lot of use from them.

Milly's Bouquet

Here is a card I made earlier this week using a Bits of Ivory image (Milly's Bouquet) from Cuddly Buddly. I've been wanting to make one of these "magic cards" for quite a while now. I enjoyed it so much that I made another one straight away. I'll share that one with you soon.

My Talented Daughter

OMG... I just have to share with you all, the gorgeous cake my daughter Lauren made and decorated in her home ec class. Didn't it turn out AMAZING..

They had to pick a theme for a childs 10th birthday party and Lauren chose Alice in wonderland. She found these images on the net and asked me if I wouldn't mind colouring them for her. Of course I was more than happy to help. She then set about making 76 yes 76 paper roses with my rolled rose die. She punched out some grass and cut out some of my Magnolia doohickey branches and added some red hearts to them. You'll notice that not all the roses are red. Some are white and some have just a hint of red. This was to give the idea of "painting the roses red".. Clever huh!! Her teacher was extremely impressed with her effort as am I. It seems such a pity to have to actually eat the cake.

Well done my beautiful girl.
