Blog Candy, Sneak Peeks and a Willow Sketchie xxx

Ohh there's a lot going on here - it's a post in 3 parts so best get comfy lol xxx

OK, sneaky peakies first.

I was a bit more sneaky yesterday cos you couldn't really see the image, just my fave punch in the world :))x

This is another card for this month's Tutti Fruity Raspberry Ribbons kit. This time I used the pink organza and the gorgeous floral satin ribbons, along with the sweetest lil Sugar Nellie image, from Funky Kits. I won't even tell you what I coloured her with lol xxx The pretty papers are PP and I double printed them - see Liz's tutorial here.

In this month's ribbon kit, you get some little fruity charms and I also used a couple of them.



You can see them better here.

And now for a challenge - the Willow Sketchie Challenge
And it was a challenge, but thanks Sharon cos I really enjoyed this.


So this is the sketch.

But Sharon don't make it that easy girls, oh no!!

So, you have to follow the sketch natch, but also you have to put 2 hand drawn shapes out of patterned paper on and you had to use at least 1 Willow Design item.

And if that wasn't enough, you had to make a keepsake.

Phew lol xxx

Well as luck would have it, this lil fairy flew into my stamp collection today all the way from Willow, and I could not resist using her.

And this is what I made.

The papers are Willow Design, except the crown and the bow, which I drew onto PP paper. I thought I had better tell you what they were cos I have said it before and I'll very likely say it again, by I won't be giving Picasso any sleepless nights with my drawing ability.

The ribbon is from my stash, the little pink pearly dots were from Creative Pastimes, and that beautiful butterfly lace was a prezzie from my lovely blog buddy Dawn xxx. It was one of the things in the parcel she sent me yesterday and was the only thing that put a smile on my fizzog all day!! How gorgeous it is, and even nicer IRL

So we've done the sketch, and we've used the right stuff and we've drawn (badly) 2 things, so what about the keepsake bit?

Well it isn't a card, it's lil box, and one with dividers.

I thought Kyla could use it to keep her array of hair bobbles, ribbons, clips, slides etc in. I got the template for it from The Cutting Cafe and it is really easy to do. I will use it again for sure and it will come in handy for Easter.
