Totally Gorjuss (DT) - Things with Wings

Hello friends and a warm welcome to my blog.  It's been a bit quiet here at SKK, but real life has kept me very busy. When I get home I am exhausted. If I could flop into my bed when I enter the door, that would be heaven!

Our challenge over at the Totally Gorjuss challenge blog this week is to create Things with Wings.  We can't wait to see what you come up with.  I have dusted off one of Elisabeth Bell's fairies. Her name is Dani and she is a lovely image to colour. I hope you like her as much as I do.

Our fabulous sponsor is Crafty Poodles.  They are a UK based store.  Do visit them for all your crafty needs.

Thanks so much for taking the time to pop around. I promise to return the favour.  Don't forget to visit the other Gorjusettes' blogs for some inspiration.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'll meet up with you again and the challenge blog.

Simply Magnolia (DT) - Sparkles and Swirls

Here's wishing you all a blessed Sunday.  Thank you for popping around to see what I have created for the Simply Magnolia challenge today... it is all Sparkles and Swirls.  You will have to pop around and join in the fun, as my lovely teamies have created some gorgeous cards for your inspiration.

Another Christmas card to add to my collection using Unwrapped Tilda from the So Jolly Collection...  The stunning papers are from the Nitwit paper pad collection, Frosty Christmas, which you can purchase from LOTV.  I hope you readers don't get too bored seeing another Christmas card... ;)   It is the only way that I am going to get my collection to grow.  Life is just so busy right now, that I don't have much time to sit and play at my craftdesk. Please forgive me for not popping by more regularly to visit your blog, I am hoping to catch up on some blog hopping soon!

Totally Gorjuss (DT) - Bling It On

Happy Saturday... welcome to another challenge with the Gorjusettes at the Totally Gorjuss challenge blog.  We loved viewing your last creations, thanks so much for joining in the fun and congrats to the winner of our last challenge!

This week the challenge is to BLING IT ON !  So haul out those blingy objects and come play along with us.

I have chosen this gorgeous image from LOTV. Ain't he adorable?  I am so pleased to see my Christmas card collection growing...   I am not sure where I got the sentiment from, but it's a nice one.  The papers are scraps from various Christmas paper pads that I have.

There is some bling on my card, I promise...lol  I have added some sparkle around the Christmas sentiment, as well as on the baubles and stars on the Christmas tree.  Maybe the next pic will give you a better picture.

That's about as blingy as you will ever get me, I'm afraid.  I am more of a pearly girl, as my regulars will know.  Let's see what you can come up with?

We are ever grateful to our wonderful sponsors and this challenge is sponsored by Heather's Hobbie Haven. Do pay them a visit, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy your shopping.  Remember, you've got to be IN IT to WIN IT !

Totally Gorjuss (DT) - Traditional Christmas Colours

Well, was I pleased to see what Net had chosen for our challenge this week!!! lol   I am waaay behind with my Christmas card stash, that it was a huge pleasure having to make a Christmas card using Traditional Christmas Colours.  Do pop along to view the other Gorjusettes' creations at the Totally Gorjuss challenge blog, you will not be disappointed!

Don't you just love this Sugar Nellie SANTA with Tree.  He is so adorable.  You can purchase him from Funkykits. The papers are Forever Friends Gift Wrapped, which I bought from my friend Paola.  It is an A4 double sided pad and the texture is lovely. Nice and firm card too, which I like.   The sentiment is one of Magnolia's, purchased from Sir Stampalot.  Their service is outstanding!  Santa has been coloured in with Copics.

Here is a side view, for you to get a peek at the decoration inside.  And below is a close up of the sentiment.  Funny, how the tune sticks in your head when you read it!  He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!  la...la...la...

And one more little picture to share.  I mounted SANTA onto the circle with double sided foam tape.
I will enter this into Crazy Hazelnut's Christmas challenge.  They want you to make something with a snowflake on it!

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Crafter's Companion.  I know they have some awesome Christmas items for you to buy, so pop around and pay them a visit will you?  They stock all your favourite brands, so go on... lol

Thanks for popping by once again.  I hope you find time to leave a comment, as I so enjoy reading them.
