Time For An Update!

Hi all, hope you're well!! I've been very busy these last few months, setting up house and looking after my family, including two of the loveliest, cutest stepdaughters there ever were and the sweetest guy in the world, that I haven't really had time for an update. I have had time to make some cards and stuff, because my stepdaughters luuuuuurve to craft, and it's one of the things we enjoy doing together :D

I honestly couldn't tell you what materials and Copic colours I used, I'll try to do better next time...

Thank you for stopping by, hope to be back again soon with some more crafties!

Hugs,

Erica

I just did my last post for the Simply Sassy Inspiration Blog, I have had to make the decision to quit the team to focus on other, equally fun, things in my life. Only so many hours in the day right ;o).

Hi everyone, hope you're well! I had to swap Simply Sassy days with Maria Therese because I was teaching a workshop on Saturday and didn't have the energy left to make a card on Sunday...imagine that, must be getting old ;o). For today's card I've used

Domestic Goddess

which is out of stock at the moment, but will no doubt be back soon! I have used only browns and a bit of red to colour on kraft and I'm fairly happy with the result :D.

Simply Sassy Sunday Sneak Peek!

Hi all, today I'm showing you a sneak peek of one of the fantastic new stamps in set 10 of the Simply Sassy stamps (can you believe, ten sets!). The stamp is called "Love Letters" but I think I'll call her Sophie...

Sophie is a beautiful girl and very popular with the boys. Every day her poor postman gives himself a hernia dragging the sackfulls of love letters to Sophie's door. You see, Sophie doesn't have a computer or a smartphone so no texting, e-mailing or What's App'ing for her, if the boys want her attention they'd better send her a nice love letter, the old-fashioned way! Today she received four letters she really likes and now she has to make up her mind which of the boys to go out with! Can't wait to hear Sophie's choice... ;o)

Card Ingredients:

Stamps: Simply Sassy "Love Letters"; Magnolia background stamp
Paper: Bazzill Basics cardstock kraft, white; DCWV design paper Linen Closet
Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts pearl hearts; Queen & Co adhesive pearls; staples
Tools: Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle Large; EK Success Retro Flower punches; Ranger Distress Ink Old Paper
Copics:
E00, E51, E93, E21 (skin, cheeks, lips)
Y28, E53, E50 (hair)
E44, E43, E42, E41 (browns)

Right, that's all from me, but if you hop on over to the Sugar Nellie blog you'll find another sneak peek there from Maria Therese!

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by :D!

Hugs,
Erica

Simply Sassy Sunday!

Hi there crafty chicks (and dudes!), I'm back :D! I've had such a busy week and I really wanted to craft, but was just sooooo exhausted when I got home of an evening that I just wanted to crash on the couch...how old am I right :-(

I made this label before (see THIS POST for pattern link) but yesterday, while tidying up the bombsite I call my craft room, I came across the pattern for these labels again and just had to make another ;o)

For today's creation I used the utterly adorable

Apple of My Eye

from the latest set of Simply Sassy goodness :D. I love this stamp (I know, I say that about all of them but I cannot tell a lie :-p) because it it so versatile, it can be used "just because", for get well cards, a welcome back or goodbye from school (apples=teacher's pet in my mind, weird isn't it) and for a lot more themes you care to think of :D!

Stamp: Simply Sassy "Apple of My Eye"

Simply Sassy Sunday: A Christmas Tale

Hi all, hope you're having a great weekend! The weather over here is so-so, and really lent itself to making a Christmas project :D. Hope you likey, sit back, relax and enjoy!

I've made a paperbag booklet today, using the wonderful Carisa's tutorial
(you can find that ->HERE<-)

The story you are about to read
Is about the Johnson sisters, a fun group indeed
Meet Britt, the oldest one who does all the shopping
From groceries to Christmas lights to the latest in mopping
(for mum!)

This year too she has some fabulous goodies
From dolls to CDs to fashionable hoodies
Now all she has to do is get them wrapped and hidden
She sticks them in dad's shed, even though it's forbidden
But her sisters are so nosy, they'll look everywhere
To get at the presents, but they won't be there...

Here's Audrey, who makes it her job to find out
Where the presents are hidden, and be in no doubt
That once she finds them she'll unwrap them with care
Because all this secrecy she really can't bear!

However, this year Britt has outdone herself
Audrey's checked every nook and cranny, closet and shelf
But nowhere are the presents to be found
Instead she keeps finding these notes all around
Wishing her a Joyous Christmas and Happy New Year
So she grumbles and mumbles to anyone who'll hear
"I would have those things if my presents were here!"





Little Mirte and daddy have gone tree hunting
They bring home a nice one and hang it with bunting
With baubles and tinsel and lots of fake snow
And of course fairy lights, from high to low

After all that tree-trimming Mirte takes a nap
And dreams of candy canes and sitting on Santa's lap
She can't wait to see what Santa will bring her this year
She's been a good girl, so there'll be no fear
Of getting books or hankies or mittens or socks
What Mirte really wants is the new Justin Bieber CD, it rocks!

This is Femke, who's been ready for Christmas for months
Started asking in August when Santa would come
Been wearing holly in her hair for weeks on end
And been wondering which presents Santa would send

A Barbie, a new swimsuit or maybe a book?
She would also like some cool clothes, a whole new look
Santa, please hurry, she thinks every day
Make my Christmas merry and gay!

Michelle has a secret present stashed away
It needs water and food and two walks a day
It's furry and naughty and chews all her stuff
Christmas can't come soon enough, thinks Michelle in a huff

Finally it's time, Christmas morning is here
The whole family up early, time for laughter and cheer
For presents and surprises and lots of fun
Look what Santa has brought Lisan!

A cute little puppy, sweet as can be
Lisan squeals with joy, happiness and glee
Her very own puppy, who would have thought
Santa's so sweet, she asked and he brought!
A Merry Christmas is had by all
And the little puppy's name? He's christened Snowball!
