Make It Sparkle @ Diva's

Morning lovely peeps, hope you're all well. My is this year flying by or what? 2 days left in February, I can hardly believe it! (mind you I am scheduling this post so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself LOL).  I should be living in a building site as the work was due to start Monday, I'll keep you updated as and when anything exciting happens!

Today I'm here with a new challenge at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and this week Rebekah wants us to 

Make It Sparkle

Well not that you can really tell from this picture but my card does sparkle quite a bit, mind you its not the same colour in real life as this photograph. It was a dull old day when I took it maybe I should retake it?

The papers are from a First Edition pad Noir Et Chic and they are sparkly, they are also much creamier in colour than they look here,  I glamour dusted the wings of this uber cute Sugar Nellie fairy Pippi Longsocks I think she's called. The little black 18 is also glitter, its actually a peel off LOL long time since I used one of them.

We have a fabulous new sponsor who I was lucky to meet on holiday

 last year (hello Mark and Mel did you miss me this year? lol)

Please pop over and check out their store they have lots of gorgeous stash including the First Edition paper pads and the super shimmery organza ribbon I've used.

When your all shopped out there pop over to Diva's challenge blog to check out all the sparkly inspiration from my teammies this week, you might need your sunglasses to catch the glare!

That's it from me I hope to be back with a little extra make I intend on sneaking in that I'm making just for fun, a rare but pleasurable occurrence lol

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges...

Allsorts - Ladies Day

The Blue Fairy GDT

Hello again lovely people, please don't think I've forgotten you all, we have all been working 18 hours a day and I just can't find 10 minutes to catch up with anything blogwise!

This is another scheduled post and  I'm sneaking in an extra post today
as I was asked a while ago to GD at

SCRAPBOOK SISTERS

as I won a challenge and this time the theme is

Wings

and here is my contribution!

I totally love  this Sugar Nellie image - Pippi Longsocks - I used it a few weeks ago and couldn't resist using it again. The papers are a fabulous colour blue from Maja and I gave everything a dabbing with my white paint dabber and her wings a sprinkling of glamour dust!

A little peek inside..

The message stickers are 'Chit Chatter' from Tim Holtz and the die cuts Magnolia Doo Hickeys. I hadn't rolled any roses for ages lately but now I'm on a 'roll' again and can't stop!! I used Hi Tack glue this time to secure them and it was soooooooooooo much easier!

Head over to Scrapbook Sisters for all the relevant info about this challenge and some gorgeous inspiration from the girls.
Thank you Scrapbook Sisters for asking me to GD - I've loved it!

Once again I have to say how sorry I am for not getting around to visit you, the upside of my job is I have the whole winter off and will make it up to you all then!!

I'll be back tomorrow with my MAWTT card and my candy winner

Things With Wings @ Oldie But Goodie

A very good morning to you all, well I don't know about where you are but it was dry here all weekend. It rained again yesterday though so back to normal now!

My little girl flew off on her travels again last week and after a few days exploring Hong Kong she has now moved on to China where she'll spend the next 6 weeks! I'm crossing off the days till she gets home safe! She assured me lots of people go travelling on their own!

I'm back today with a brand new challenge over at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

and this time my gorgeous friend Debs is in charge and would like to see

Things With Wings

This was great for me as this little stamp has been sat waiting her turn for so long on my desk I could hear her foot tapping!

Isn't she fab? Its Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie and I love her! My papers are Basic Grey Kissing Booth and once again I used my MFT flower die. I actually followed the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl and really enjoyed making this, its ages since I followed a good sketch! Coloured with Copics and the plain cardstock is Stampin' Up which I got from Zoe (link in my sidebar)

We are sponsored this week by

 http://digidoodleshop.com/store/

and all the details can be found on the main challenge blog along with some fabulous inspiration from my lovely team mates.

Remember you can now use a digital image to join in but something on your card has to be at least 6 months old and you have to tell us what it is in your post 

Thats all from me today, thank you for stopping by

Love 'n' Hugs
