Anything goes at Eclectic Ellapu

Good morning folks, its time for our brand new challenge at Eclectic Ellapu and this month the Pink Ladies have a nice easy 'Anything Goes' theme so there's no excuse not to share your gorgeous project with us. The lovely girls on the purple team have a fab challenge and loads of inspiration too so pop over to the challenge blog and check it out!

I've made a little baby themed wall hanging for my DT project. I used freebie papers to cover an MDF hexagon shape and distressed with tea dye distress ink and popped some pearls in the centre. I've used a gorgeous little digi image from Mo Manning, she's called 'Baby Girl' and you can find her here. I've coloured her with Derwent pencils and die cut her with a circle die, before layering her up over a spellbinders die cut. I distressed with spun sugar and tea dye distress ink.

I've added lace, ribbon, paper flowers, a button topped with a twine bow and a little baby heart charm to finish off.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

Challenge up your Life: digi stamps

Creative Knockouts: Tic tac toe (my line is digi, distressing, flowers)

Die Cuttin Divas: Baby love

DP2 challenge: anything goes with a Mo image

In the pink: things with wings

Little Miss Muffet: anything goes

Penny's Paper Crafty: anything goes

Simon Says Stamp: anything goes

Well I'd better go to work and earn some pennies, have a great day and thanks for popping by today!!

Fairy Kiki

Hi there folks, I'm working from home today so I'm making the most of my lunchbreak to post a card I made for one of my friends birthdays a couple of weeks ago. She loves fairies so I used the supercute 'Fairy Kiki' from Mo Manning for this card. I'm pretty new to Mo's images but I really love this little fairy she is adorable, so adorable in fact that Sheena loved her card and is planning on having a go at making some herself :-)

Its an 8x8 card and the bp is from Raspberry Road Designs. I've coloured Fairy Kiki with promarkers and added a little glitter to her wings. The butterfly is die cut using a Marianne die and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps. The faux postage sentments are gorgeous and the little die to cut them out is fab. To finish off I've added some hot pink ribbon from Crafty Ribbons to pick out the roses in the bp and some faux gemstones.

I'm entering Fairy Kiki in the following challenges:

Aly's Sunday Challenge: Add a bow

Bronte and Bella's Challenge: Celebration

Corrosive challenge: punches and/or diecuts

I don't seem to have a lot of time for blogging at the minute with so much happening at work. poorlies in the family and I'm still without my laptop. Having to drag a 21 year old off facebook to check my emails or do some blogging is no fun believe me lol. Hopefully poor lappy will be back from the puter hospital with a clean bill of health very soon, apparently he was on the workbench on Saturday( I should think so too, he's been there for nearly 3 weeks!!)

Anyway thanks for popping by, I'd better get back to work now

hugs
