Fairy Tale Unicorn!

Just a quick card to share with you today (providng Mr Blogger hasn't overdone things at Christmas!!). We have a new challenge at Lexi's Creations:

PINK WINTER BIRTHDAY!

We are sponsored by Joanna Sheen too!!

I've used this cute unicorn called Aloria to make a card for a special little friend of mine who will be 9 on New Years Day!

The image has been coloured with promarkers and gold glitter pen, it doesn't show up too well in the piccy ;-( but there is a bit of sparkle there. I've used a nesties die to make the little frame at the top, I like to think of it as a tiara!! The pearly gems were magazine freebies and the papers are all from my scrap box! The sentiment is from a docrafts Xmas sheet!

Thanks for looking!

Merry Crimbo greetings!

MERRY CHRISTMAS &

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY

BLOGGING FRIENDS!!

Happy New Year Hound!

Morning Folks, not long to go now!! Nobody panic!!

I've just popped on to show you my card for the challenge at CRAFT this week, our theme is:

NEW YEAR!

We have a returning sponsor this week, Sally and Sam Doodles who are offering a great digi prize to our winner!

I've had this stamp by Whipper Snapper for quite a while so I decided it was about time to blow the dust off and give him an airing!!

Here he is in a bit more detail, coloured with promarkers (of course!) and then mounted onto blue card before being cut out!

The bunting is made from punched triangles and peel offs with card candy at the ends. The backing paper if from a Forever Friends pad!

As usual I couldn't post a card without entering a challenge or two!! So here goes:

Pink Butterfly gift box!

I'm late, I'm late, Oh how embarassing I'm late posting my project for my second guest DT spot over at

I'm sooo sorry girls!

Anyway, I don't know about you but I'm all Christmassed out! I've only got one last family card to put the finishing touches on and I'm done - thank heavens! The girls over at Creative Craft Challenges have a nice 'Anything goes' challenge and so I decided to ditch the snowflakes in favour of something pink and girly for my friends birthday next month - a little gift box to hold a piece of jewellery! Here it is:

The idea for this little box came from a packet of ready cut gift boxes from Poundland. There are several different box types flat packed in the packet and so I just used them as cardboard templates! A bit fiddly to cut out but great fun to decorate!! I have used a fairly stiff paper from the Henbury Lane collection and some glitter card by DCWV.

The little tag is a nesties label attatched with ribbon and the butterflys are a Dovecraft punch.


The roses have been wired to the top handles and glammed up a bit with a hint of stickles!!

Thanks for looking and I do hope your festive preparations are going OK!

Don't forget to visit Creative Craft Challenges - there are TWO great prizes on offer!!

As usual I can't resist entering a few challenges:

Prairie Fairy Candy

Just doing a little blog hopping tonight and I came across this fantastic candy on offer from The Prairie Fairy who is calling it "spread the word candy" to announce she is moving back to blogger rather than Wordpress. If you have any links to Prairie Fairy you need to change them to the blogger url!! The candy is gorgeous and you can check out all the details here. Good luck to everyone who enters, what a fantastic extra Christmas present this would be!
