About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

Friday Sketchers #109; Belles n Whistles; Totally Papercrafts #23; Crafty Creations #74

Now I don't want you getting excited, just cos I've made and posted 2 cards in 1 day, lol. Fortunately for me, unfortunately for Mark, he was poorly this afternoon which mean't I was confined to barracks, aka The Craft Zone, hence the hive of activity.

Anyway, this little cutie is one of Mo Manning's digi images which I've coloured with my copics as follows:-
skin - E02, 00, 21
hair - R02, E33
everything else - RV000, 02, 04, 06, YR15, 16

The DP is from DCWV - Pocket Full of Posies

The gems are by Bling Bling from Samuel Taylor and the pearls are The Hobby House

The glittery sparkles to her wings and cupcake are Rainbow Stripe glitters by Kanban

I'm entering this for Friday Sketchers #109, Crafty Creations #74 - Ice Cream and Cake, Totally Papercrafts #23 - One for the Girlies; and Belles n Whistles - Glitter and Pearls

I hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x

    It's a gorgeous card Alison but unfortunately you did not use the correct image to enter our Belles 'n Whistles challenge. You must use a Belles 'n Whistles image in order to qualify. (See our sidebar on the challenge blog for our rules). But there is still plenty of time to enter again. We would love to see you joining us!
