Butterfly Scent

Hello - another scheduled post as I'm still in the Med!

Today is an exciting day for Sophia's Sweet Scribbles as we're bringing you Larissa's newest images, and these ones will be perfect for all the ladies in your life (and some of the men too!) as this collection is called Eau de Parfum and features exquisite perfume bottles in many shapes, sizes and styles!

I'm delighted to be showcasing Butterfly Wings and here is my card:

• Card base - is Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardstock which I have cut, scored and folded to make a 12cm square gatefold card. 
• Papers - I have used 2 different papers from the Spring Paper Collections by Larissa at Sophia's Sweet Scribbles. On the front of the card I have used the Candyfloss and Cream colourway from the Striped Paper Collection and on the inside I have used the Candyfloss colourway from the Spring Butterfly Collection. 
• Image - is Butterfly Wings from the Eau de Parfum Collection  at Sophia's Sweet Scribbles. I have brought this elegant bottle of scent to life using my Spectrum Noir Pencils in the listed colours, before fussy cutting the image out and attaching it to the left side of the card.
• Bottle - 29, 34, 35 
• Cap - 84, 87, 107 
• Butterflies - 61, 65, Gold Gel Pen
• Sentiment - is by Paulette at Create with TLC which I have superimposed onto  the Butterfly Paper.

I hope you'll head over to the blog and also the Facebook page and see the other lovely creations by my teamies. Then go and grab some of the beautiful bottles for yourself, and come back to the Facebook page and show us your projects with them!

I'll be back later this week with another peek from this gorgeous collection.

All that Glitters is a Snowflake

Hi everyone!

This is just a very, very swift post from me as it's been a bit of a manic week at work, and I'm heading out to the gym to burn it off!

It's New Release Day at Sophia's Sweet Scribbles and Larissa is helping us all get ready for Christmas in good time as this month's release is entitled Winter Holidays. This is a fabulous collection of 11 winter and Christmas themed digital stamps which Larissa is in the process of adding to store, so do keep checking back and make sure you check out the full collection.

Also pop over to my DT Teamies Julie and Nicky as they're both showcasing some of these new images and, in case you're in need of yet more inspiration, check out the Sweet Scribblers! Facebook group, as we'll all be posting there too!

Anyway, here's my card featuring the "Snowflake":

My card recipe is as follows:

• Card base - is Neenah Classic Crest Solar White which I've printed the image onto directly making a 10 x 10.5cm card (perfect for going in a DL envelope flat and being sent at basic postage rate!)
• Image - is Snowflake by Larissa at  Sophia's Sweet Scribbles. I've coloured this gorgeous design very simply using my Spectrum Noir Pencils in shades 61 and 62, before adding lashings of White Glitter!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (with a little help from the girls at Paper Playful!):

• Winter Wonderland at Holly Jolly Christmas
• Challenge #13 - Anything Goes (with Optional Twist) at One Layer Christmas Card Challenge
• Challenge #254 - Christmas in July at 4 Crafty Chicks
• Challenge #84 - Pastels at Crimbo Crackers
• Challenge #50 - Snow or Glitter at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - I've managed both tee hee ;)
• Challenge #89 - Get Ahead for Christmas at Simply Create Too

I'll be back over the weekend with more inspiration from this gorgeous collection! 

In the meantime, have a great evening!

Hugs, Helen x

From the Catwalk

Good morning friends ... hope you are all well this morning. I would like to welcome 2 new followers to my blog - Karen who is following via blogger, and Patti who is following via e-mail ... welcome to my little corner of blogland ladies, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration I share!

I'm going to be scheduling this post as I've got a Target Setting Review appointment at school with youngest bambino and her form tutor first thing, then it's off to the gym for a quick run on the "trotmill" (I'm doing a bit of Fartlek at the moment ... and no, I'm not swearing! It's where you run really fast for a short burst and then go more slowly, fast, slow and so on for around 20 minutes) before heading into my regular Yoga class.

I'm ever so excited to be bringing you the first New Release from Sophia's Sweet Scribbles and this release is going to get you all heading over to buy it, as we're bringing you The Fashion Collection.

These 6 different dresses will be totally perfect for all the ladies in your life, and I'm thrilled to be showcasing The Day Dress:

This card really has been so very simple to put together, just to demonstrate that with the right materials you can have a great card in next to no time!

My card recipe is as follows:

• Card base - is pre-made in white card, around 14.7cm square
• Papers - come from the May 2015 Club Inspire free download by Crafter's Companion. This collection is called Springtime Florals and I have used one of the Card Companions from the set.
  
• Image - is by the very talented Larissa at Sophia's Sweet Scribbles and is called The Day Dress. To bring this dress to life, I paper pieced it using the same dotty paper from the Card Companion only I've reduced the scale to make the dots smaller and closer together. I've used my Spectrum Noir Pens in the listed colours to bring the dress and dress form to life, before fussy cutting it out.
• Dress - GT2, Blender Pen, Silver Gel Pen (to give a light lacy effect to the top portion of the bodice)
• Dress Form - EB1, EB2, Blender Pen
• Outline - GT1
• Sentiment - is by Debbie at The Crafty Pad and comes from the Stitching Ticket Sentiments Set. I have put a slit in each end of the ticket so I could thread it onto an oddment of gold coloured satin ribbon I found in my stash (courtesy of a bargain £1 bag from Hobbycraft I think!) to make a ribbon slider

I hope you'll come over to the Sophia's Sweet Scribbles Store, Sweet Scribblers! Facebook Fan Group and Sophia's Sweet Scribbles Official Website and see the other wonderful creations from my very talented teamies! Also, at the Official Website, Larissa is very kindly giving you a chance to own 2 digis from this fabulous collection.
