Lavender Tea

Hi everyone,

It's time for a new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge we're Anything Goes so lets see you projects. https://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/

The DT were tasked with adding ribbon or twine so here was my thought lets use the fabulous Lavender Tea Collection and guess whats on there?..... some fabby doo templates you can use to make all sorts of projects including a tea cup, teapot, seed packet and ...... wait for it... A  Lantern. So thats what I chose to use. All the papers and flowers are from the collection together with some die cut sprigs and flowers in the bubblelicious set such awesome craft dies from our Nikky.

You can find the whole collection here in the store http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/lavender-tea-printables-download-craft-scrapbooking-collection/. Its just soooo pretty think  might be using this one loads.

Baby Boo Blankie Bear

Hello lovelies,
Today I'm sharing my Inspiration post for Scrappers Delights and I've chosen to use Baby Boo Blankie Bear. Just look at that teddy bear hat now thats what you call a hat. How cosy would that be maybe a touch heavy though!!

Did any of you have a blankie or even still got it? I had a doll called Sleepy who had a hard face then body and surrounding her head was all soft and pink like a teddy. She used to come everywhere with me. She had a little curl in the middle of her forehead until I decided to become a hairdresser and cute it off. One annoyed Mother!! And I left her in the caravan when we were on hols once and her cheeks and forehead got sun burnt. She was fab. Not that long ago that I got rid of her either so some other prospective hairdresser could have her!!

Darling Buds - Daffodil

Here again with another of those Darling buds from Polkadoodles.

Daffodils are a springtime favorite in the garden. The sight of their bright petals delivers an instant dose of happiness. Warm weather is on its way. Before long, the whole garden bed will be a smorgasbord of colors and fragrances. For now, we welcome the arrival of one of the first plants to light up the garden, a yearly reminder that we’ve made it through the winter.

I'm watching you

Hi there crafty peeps, Julia Spiri has a lovely new image and  it's another whole scene.

This is I'm watching you. If you look real close you can see the trees have eyes!! eeek
Just look at those little fluffy woodland critters! I think we all need at least one of these in our lives. They're not dangerous just total cute fluffiness. Lol I'm obsessed with cute and fluffy

You can find it here at the store https://www.etsy.com/listing/510652571/ 





Coloured with prisma colour pencils and sorry got carried away with the cuteness and forgot to write the colours down. I coloured it on smooth paper to rather than one with texture just to try out something new. Not too bad a result but more tricky to layer as would liked to have deepened the sky but no paper tooth left.

Paper and flowers from my crafty stash. Die cuts from Tonic and embossing folder from Embossalicious

Fairies are often said to be invisible, usually of smaller stature than humans. It is believed they are helpful to humans, but might be dangerous and evil if offended. They were often considered mischievous and whimsical in a childlike manner, but  have magical powers.
