New Boots

Hi There Everyone

So here I am again with another card for Crafts and Me, this card however - will actually be my last at Crafts and Me, I have decided to leave, which will give me more time for my little girl, Ruby:-)

My card? I have used another Sue Rundle-Hughes image, she is a brand new artist at Crafts and Me, and I must say I do actually love these... well I love all the fairy images heheheheeh hence why I have stuck around for so long!!

This little beauty is called New Boots.... I love the idea of the fairy getting new boots and lacing them up on a rock... in someone's secret fairy garden! So here it is, I hope you all love it as much as me:-)

So what do you think? pretty sweet huh? I love colouring my fairy's in green.  I think I will miss doing them each fortnight, but I have a stack of images to play with, and of course, there is ALWAYS new ones each and every month! 

So it has been an absolute pleasure, thank you Teresa for having me:-) 

Happy Stamping Everyone, and I'll see you around in the Blog Land no doubt!! and don't forget about the new challenge theme just started over HERE

Caring and Thoughtful Fairies

Hi there! This is Rose sharing two cards that I've made using some of the wonderful digital images available ONLY at Crafts and Me Stamps.

Crafts and Me Stamps carries a fabulous selection of amazing digital silhouette fairy stamps.  When you're in a hurry and don't have time to add your own coloring, silhouette images can be the perfect addition to your projects.

I've used Fairy Friends to whip up a simple note card that will be handy for sharing a bit of news or sending caring thoughts to a good friend. You can get your own digital Fairy Friends here.  I've layered cardstock with patterned papers from a Memory Box Viola 6x6 paper stack.

You'll note that all of the digital silhouette images are made to print in black ink. In eight simple steps, I changed my digital image to print in purple and gray in my attempts to better match my card. You can find the steps I used at the end of this previous post.

You may have seen this card at the recent Dynamite Digi team's "Charmed, I'm Sure" challenge.  For this challenge I've used a newly released Fairy Cake Candle image by Sue Rundel-Hughes on a side-open birthday card.  You can find this lovely digital image here.

Fairy Cakes

Hi there Everyone

Today I have a new artist to tell you all about, she of course is designing for Crafts and Me and there has been a new release this month with about 5 images I think... Anyway they are GORGE!!

For my card this fortnight, I have used: Fairy Cake Gardener and she is designed by Sue Rundle-Hughes, Crafts and Me, new and brilliant artist!!!

So here is my card, its only a wee one...

Now my card is slightly different than the Digi image available.... I've missed off and chopped off the cute butterfly which is to the left of the image... Why??? Because I totally buggered it up, and it was horrid and ugly and so not how it was meant to turn out LOL.... so I improvised a bit.... sorry - but the actual image that Sue has designed is gorgeous!! I know you girls and guys... will love it!!

So there you go, just a simple little card for a sweet little someone!!

Also don't forget about the brand new challenge just started over at the Challenge Blog!!

Enjoy your crafting
