Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A new challenge has started at <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubylootips.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/delightful-challenge-15.html" target="_blank">Digital Delights by Louby Lou.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual it's anything goes as long as there's a stamp, either digital or rubber.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my inspiration...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsV6lOpmKwLcd9_oJak9JgSeO1GZ4JZIJDTsbCS1ouI-cMi1jZ468uQaOTTKlefAr72gYwf_r7e68_8rvSp7D68hKrgyHrkjU6eEGrM2F_VUptVy92pHuwotNCJlB9stIDg7_vPFxoYgmR/s1600/CarolingSlippyHMP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsV6lOpmKwLcd9_oJak9JgSeO1GZ4JZIJDTsbCS1ouI-cMi1jZ468uQaOTTKlefAr72gYwf_r7e68_8rvSp7D68hKrgyHrkjU6eEGrM2F_VUptVy92pHuwotNCJlB9stIDg7_vPFxoYgmR/s320/CarolingSlippyHMP.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's called Caroling Slippy and you can find him <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_15&products_id=2552" target="_blank">HERE.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've coloured him using Copics and mounted him with glue gel, curving him slightly with a bone folder, to add dimension.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The backing papers are from 2 different paper packs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_104&products_id=2235" target="_blank">The Berry Merry Christmas pack</a> and <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_104&products_id=1355" target="_blank">the Sparkle & Magic pack.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've added some Washi tape featuring music as he's singing. I've also added a bow, die cut sentiment in glitter card and some hot fix gems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll join our challenge.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a new release at <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Digital Delights by Louby Lou</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got to work with the super cute Gifting Snowie McFee. You also get the sentiment...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've coloured using copics with added Glamour Dust glitter, applied with a Quickie glue pen. The papers are called Winter Wonderland by Crafts House and are pearlised. I've used liquid pearls for the finishing touch. I hope you'll take a look at the rest of the release by clicking on the link at the top.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used a cloud shaped die to cut out the sentiment (I think it's a memory box one). I've coloured her using copics, taking my colours from the backing paper, adding a handmade flower (made by my best friend Susie) as a finishing touch. Hopefully this would make someone smile if they were feeling unwell.</div>

Wendy has created some fab halloween images with backing papers to match.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my little bit of inspiration...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image is called Zomberz and can be found <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_20&products_id=2776" target="_blank">HERE.</a> It comes complete with the sentiment. I've also used the Spookinz digital papers which you can find <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_108&products_id=2777" target="_blank">HERE.</a> I've coloured the image with Copics and matted everything with black card from my stash. This would make a great invitation for a Halloween party. Make sure you check out the rest of the release...you won't be disappointed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the delightful <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_14&products_id=2491" target="_blank">Fairy Flower Power Daisy</a> but I've coloured her flowers differently to show it doesn't have to just be a daisy. I've used copics and added some glitter magic glitter to the wings and around the heart shape (Tattered lace die). I used paper from the Dovecraft Back To Basics Bright Spark paper pack, which I bought from our local Asda. I chose 3 co-ordinating papers and used black card for the matting. To finish off I added a flower cut using a Sue Wilson die, with a candi in the centre and 3 adhesive pearls to the top corner to balance the flower. I haven't added a sentiment so this could be used for different purposes as it is or a sentiment added later. You can find lots of lovely images, papers and sentiments if you visit the shop <a href="http://www.digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/" target="_blank">HERE.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I need to go and help my hubby now. He's been sorting the summerhouse and found a jigsaw which had spilled out of its box. There should be 1000 pieces. We've counted twice and got 1003 pieces!! Now we're gonna have to make the jigsaw to find out what doesn't belong and if we've got all the bits of the original one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy crafting</div>

Hi everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well and enjoying the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for Challenge #12 at <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubylootips.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/delightful-monthly-challenge-12.html" target="_blank">Digital Delights.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual it's Anything goes as long as you include a stamp (either digital or rubber). Here's my little bit of inspiration...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the super cute <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_76&products_id=2390" target="_blank">Surprise Mickey Monkey</a> and coloured him using Copics. I combined a couple of backing papers which have been in my stash for years. I got them from a Warehouse which was selling off a load of stock quite a few years ago now. They're from some pads called cardstock Stackers by Generations. I've added some spotty ribbon over the join, matted everything with red card from my stash and finished off with a couple of Spellbinder stars with a small blue brad in the middle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubylootips.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/delightful-monthly-challenge-12.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and check out the fabulous inspiration from my talented team mates.</div>

The image is from a LOTV artpad (Set 25 Magical Fairies). I've cut it using a Tattered Lace Charisma Frame die and edged with Spun Sugar distress ink. The sentiment is from a Spellbinder die cut from glitter card. Finishing touches include some spotty ribbon from my stash and 3 flowers handmade by my best friend Susie (she made me loads at Christmas). </div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a new challenge at <a href="http://sparklesforumchristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/challenge-66-snowflakes.html" target="_blank">Sparkles Christmas Challenges</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our theme for the month is <b>Snowflakes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card using my first attempt at a crocheted snowflake...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlrDlxMazZUoByNnwSS_M6OxIOTEHTlU5Nz6My6Zy1y4QTc6HQ3-ciTDHDZzGStwD3EtWtTFiKm4-bMUrbJ9k3rDf3O-SuigYAdUtJJBoJ-lQFb5jGez6f-kcUvQXrhPQcQt45rXKNeM6/s1600/IMG_4133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlrDlxMazZUoByNnwSS_M6OxIOTEHTlU5Nz6My6Zy1y4QTc6HQ3-ciTDHDZzGStwD3EtWtTFiKm4-bMUrbJ9k3rDf3O-SuigYAdUtJJBoJ-lQFb5jGez6f-kcUvQXrhPQcQt45rXKNeM6/s320/IMG_4133.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've fastened the centre of the snowflake using a star shaped brad to a circle of silver shimmer card before gluing the rest of it. I've then set it on foam pads and added it to the striped backing paper from the Winter Wonderland collection by Crafts House. To finish off I added the Winter Wishes sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll join in. You could win a great prize...</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for a new challenge at <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubylootips.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/delightful-monthly-challenge-11.html" target="_blank">Digital Delights.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my little bit of inspiration...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the super cute <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_10&products_id=2138" target="_blank">Grilling Percy</a> together with the fabulous <a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_109&products_id=571" target="_blank">Grillin and Chillin digital paper pack.</a> I've coloured Percy using Copics and made his apron co-ordinate with the papers, matting with black card from my stash and adding ribbon and a bow as the finishing touch. I cut Percy out with a Tonic die and edged the panel with Black Soot distress ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll join us for this challenge. Don't forget to check out the great inspiration from my very talented team mates and have a look at the awesome shop <a href="http://www.digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. You don't have to use a Digital Delights image to enter but we love it when you do. Can't wait to see all the fantastic entries. You could win a gift voucher to spend in our shop.</div>

Hi everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a new challenge at <a href="http://rubysrainbow.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/ch132-hip-to-be-square.html" target="_blank">Ruby's Rainbow.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme is <b>Hip to be square.</b> We'd like to see a square base card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my little bit of inspiration...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZC3LrYsfoexuhgwmDrVb7Dx6M4jPpP1Otq-5obmCQZ9RAUdUzf891GoIPJzpawzIoK8GmA4q0z1CoFO0M2-I99Fl3ccMc7uSze-y_1D-42Sl7AlaDDC5ecOuYU8wTcqlK_7i0u9BzNoy/s1600/IMG_4124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZC3LrYsfoexuhgwmDrVb7Dx6M4jPpP1Otq-5obmCQZ9RAUdUzf891GoIPJzpawzIoK8GmA4q0z1CoFO0M2-I99Fl3ccMc7uSze-y_1D-42Sl7AlaDDC5ecOuYU8wTcqlK_7i0u9BzNoy/s320/IMG_4124.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used a LOTV image from the Bunnies artpad and teamed it up with some papers from my stash. I also found the sentiment tag in my stash and thought it went perfectly. I've added some ribbon and pearls as finishing touches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's your turn. I can't wait to see your fabulous projects.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a new challenge at <a href="http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/challenge-81-they-say-when-you-marry-in.html" target="_blank">Sparkles Monthly Challenges.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our theme this month is <b>When you marry in June.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'd love to see your wedding, anniversary or engagement makes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to make an anniversary card...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrA4BoNAvJBWDOKmdZPleUqFI7X3j7eR9ed031eZbiIZs9PVnD-4ZJPIwcRYQqfaGnJ7FpYK1YenhlwAC5waNhuafbOAdAVi_uX49k1AAMbfNk4JU_mWI9fD0wi1sSBIWlw8DXguBA4Kdm/s1600/IMG_3992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrA4BoNAvJBWDOKmdZPleUqFI7X3j7eR9ed031eZbiIZs9PVnD-4ZJPIwcRYQqfaGnJ7FpYK1YenhlwAC5waNhuafbOAdAVi_uX49k1AAMbfNk4JU_mWI9fD0wi1sSBIWlw8DXguBA4Kdm/s320/IMG_3992.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used a LOTV image from the Cute Cottage Garden artpad, which I've cut using Tattered lace dies. I embossed the front of the card blank using a mask which came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft at some point. I matted the image using Core'dinations Nostalgia Sandable card, adding some ribbon which came from The Hobby House, which is also where the charm came from. I finished off with a circadesign sentiment and a few pearls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Anything BUT a card.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm loving learning to crochet at the minute and want you to meet Geoffrey!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My best friend Susie bought me the book for my birthday in April and I love it. So far I've made the giraffe, the elephant, the monkey and the hippo. I can't decide what to make next...I have the wool to do any of the projects! We seem to be getting as addicted to buying wool as papercraft supplies, lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow, I hope you'll pop over and take a look at the awesome inspiration from my very talented team mates. You won't be disappointed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used a LOTV topper which I've cut using a Tonic circle die and matted with a Tonic Scalloped circle die. I cut the backing paper using a Tattered Lace square die and added a Spellbinder star in a contrasting colour. I added a strip of ribbon and a sentiment to finish off. Simple...</div>

I decided to crochet a Christmas stocking instead of making a card. You may have read in previous posts that I'm learning to crochet. My best friend Susie bought me a couple of books and some wool for my birthday in April. I've mostly been making toys but thought I'd have a go at a stocking...</div>

I made this for my Crazy Cat Lady sister-in-law using Hunkydory's Little book of Furry Friends. The backing paper is by First Edition and I've used a Tattered Lace die for the sentiment and the two small butterflies, which compliment the one in the image. I finished off with some spotty ribbon and a couple of pearls. </div>

Thanks for stopping by. I'm going to get some more chores done before it's time to sit down and watch our local football team in the play-off final at Wembley. My two daughters are on their way to London with their Uncle and Aunty at the moment and I've got my late husband's parents coming over to watch it here as it's too much for them now to travel to Wembley and they don't have the channel on their TV. So all that's remains to be said is "Up the Mariners", good luck Grimsby Town.</div>
