Competition time!

I mentioned previously that I was going to have a little competition involving the new release and today is the day :-D You can win the four gorgeous new Nikki's, the 8 cuter than cute Robyn's and the 6 Magnificent Magnum's which include the add-on and sentiment sets...that's 18 stamps people!! If you were to buy all the sets it would cost £117...now that's a NICE saving.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but decided to go simple. All you have to do to win all the new release is to leave a comment. That's it...nothing fancy...just a comment. I'll mail them anywhere in the world so just because you live in Australia, Canada, USA, Dubai, China it doesn't mean you can't enter and win because you can! I'll leave it open until Monday 14th June then post the winner on the 15th. How does that sound? Remember, if you're not in you can't win!
Does anyone remember having a teddy that they loved so much? I didn't have a teddy...I had a pink rabbit. It was my best friend for so long and I still have it....somewhere lol. I think I've lovingly packing it away somewhere and might just have to look for it. I'm a bit sentimental for things like that and will never part with it...well maybe for the grandchildren when they eventually come along heehee.
Robyn looks like she loves her teddy...A LOT...

...and it looks like Ted loves her right back!

You can't see it very well but I've put Glossy Accents on his ears, belly and feet pads and IRL looks fab.
I've a few more samples to make so I'd better get on with it. Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance to win the new release! Good luck :-D

BGT....Love it!!

Hello there! Is anyone watching BGT? How fabulous is it?! On the one hand you've got those who are hopeless but think they're amazing then you've got the others who are fantastic full stop! Last night I absolutely loved Spellbound (I hope I've got that right)...how they twist their bodies the way they do without doing serious damage is incredible. The strength they must have to balance on one arm with their bodies going in the opposite direction is amazing.
And tonight I just finished watching Chandi the dancing dog and found myself laughing, smiling, clapping and tearing up all at the same time! I can't wait to see who's on tomorrow night :-D
This is Flowers For You Nikki...I wonder who sent her the flowers? A secret admirer perhaps?




Nikki always seems to be bang on with fashion and her denim top fits that bill. Love the chopsticks in her hair lol.


Make sure you check in tomorrow as I might just mention a little compeition.

Thanks for stopping by.

A little Add-On magic

I'm being wined and dined tonight so this is going to be speedy quick!
It's not magic but a little computer wizardry. I thought I'd show you Add-On Magnum with one of the add-ons from the set. What do cats love??? Fish! so thought I'd give him a little can of tuna to fill his belly. I also used the image to create a border at the bottom which I'm quite pleased with :-D

Doesn't he look happy with his dinner lol!


I found this button from Doodlebug and thought the colour matched the cs perfectly.
I'm getting hollered at so I better go. Hope you've had a great holiday weekend.

Hanging around!

This is for all you tom-boys out there! When I was thinking of different designs for Robyn a few of the ideas came from when I was a little girl. Robyn whizzing down the hill on her bike with her legs out and Robyn hanging upside down from a tree are based on me....I was the son my mom and dad never had lol!!! I don't think I stayed in the house much. If I wasn't riding out my bike I was playing kick the can with the neighbourhood kids. Or I was rollerskating on my metal skates with the key to make them longer or shorter...remember those??!!!
So this is me....I mean Upside Down Robyn

What??? Never seen a sparkly tree before???


What do you think of Robyn's friends? You know I had to have at least one ladybug in this collection :-D


I'm off to CB with the dogs. Have a great night.

SATC

Hubby and I went on a double date with Nicole and Ben last night to see Sex and The City. I thought it was really good and there were some really laugh out loud moments as well as some 'OMG...how can she do that?' moments. I really don't know how Kim Cattrell can do some of the scenes she does...I'm not going to spoil it for you if you haven't already seen it but I'm sure you can use your imagination and you'll know what I mean when you do!
I didn't get any samples done yesterday...it was another 'bitty' day so today I was determined to get some done. Some turned out to be one and here it is....
This is Wellies Robyn...don't even ask why she's called that! It felt silly even typing her name lol so I'm going to have to think of another one. What little girl didn't like splashing in puddles? I think she's just too cute!

As usual I went a bit mad with the glitter. If only you could see it IRL as it's much prettier...the sparkle is gorgeous. I've got Ruby Swarovski crystals on her raincoat and a new colour Khaki on the top of her umbrella. A little Glossy Accents for the water and rain to finish it off.


If only you could see the sparkle ....


Tomorrow's another day and I am determined to get a couple more samples done once the dogs have been walked.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend and your weather is better than ours. The temperature has dropped dramatically and the rain is on and off like a light switch!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and again for your lovely comments.

Front Page!!

Before I show you another sample I wanted to show you this....Karen made the front cover of the new issue of Creative Cardmaking using Ruby Fairies! This is so exciting and Karen was over the moon when she heard the news. She never knows where her projects will end up in a magazine...I guess this is like winning an award in the craft world so well done Karen for another fantastic project.
This is Best Friends Nikki....I love these two together...or should I say 3 with little Buttercup in tow lol.




No pp this time...just Bazzill, ribbon, crystals and of course glitter! I used my Copics to colour them in.

I love Nikki's friends hat...very cool :-D I guess I can't keep calling her Nikki's friend so I'll have to come up with a name for her.


I've been out all day doing various things....no I haven't been 'doing lunch' unfortunately. All my time is taken up colouring in and emailing these days so my social life is non-existant at the moment but hopefully that will change in another week or so...just in time for the launch lol.


I must get my skates on a do a bit of a tidy up. Oh...I had an email from Steven this morning...he and Ryan are having a great time. The weather is all blue skies and sunshine and they don't want to come home!

Feast your eyes on these...

I'm going to be quick tonight because I've a pile of ironing that needs my undivided attention and I can't put it off any longer.
First off is Bon Appetite Magnum...
He's eyeing up his dinner!




Don't know why I felt the need to glitter the cage...it doesn't look this bad IRL...promise!

LOL...what a tease the bird is sticking his tongue out at Magnum!

And here's the oh-so-cute Dressing Up Robyn. Can you remember dressing up in your mom's clothes when you were a little girl?



OTT on the glitter...again lol...but I think I can get away with it on this one :-D
That's me...I told you it was a quick one. Keep the lovely comments coming....they're all very much appreciated.
