"Ribbon" Horse and "Ribbon" Pegs

After hours of cleaning presses and drawers and desks and being bloomin' sick of seeing rolls of ribbon unravelled everywhere I came up with this idea. It's an old clothes horse that we were actually going to throw away. By chance one particular size roll fits perfectly between the two dowels but the rest needed a little persuading. I had one other "shelf" left and stuck a bit of wired-twine under that to keep them from falling through, the rest are all hanging from pieces of twine attached to the little bits at the end. Well chuffed with how it turned out. For the ribbons I have that came without rolls I saw the Ribbon Peg idea over on the Pink Petticoat blog and have used that.

Just for Marlene

This is a post just for Marlene, her blog is possibly the funniest one out there in the Bloggerverse. Check her out here and have a laugh for free. Got the stamp on Saturday at the Crafty Angels gig, great day, hard on the oul bank account but sure it's only once a month. Coloured her in with the Pro Markers. The papers are from Clare Curd's papermania signature range.

Dragon Fever

Ok, last post of the day, (possibly month), I promise. Got this lovely fellow in the Digi Stamp Boutique today and just had to use him. No challenges this time just had a few hours to spare and got stuck in. I used some Bo Bunny papers and then some card from the DCWV glitter stack. Got the nesties out again and this time chalked the embossing mainly because I had no ink that colour, lol! Hope you like them :-)

Easter Egg Hugs

Have officially caught the challenge bug.

This particular one had a blog hop with it too which was great fun, got lots of inspiration from the DT at Sweet Sketch Wednesday The theme was to create an Easter/Spring card to match the sketch, it was my first sketch to follow and my first Easter card. Bought my first few stamps from Digi Stamp Boutique too, one of which was used above, coloured with Promarkers. Lots of firsts this week. LOL!! :-)

So am entering the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Bunny Hop Challenge with it.

Pink and Green Shopping Spree

So this is my first ever Sugar Nellie stamp to use. Was in Crafty Angels on Monday and couldn't resist her. The papers I used are from K&Co. I paper pierced her coat and some of the shopping bags. I coloured the rest of her in with my new promarkers. I mounted her onto an oval nestie and then a fancy square nestie which have been distressed and voila.

There is a tiny bit of shimmery organza pink ribbon on the sentiments label but it's very hard to see.

I'm entering my first few challenges with her cos I spent well over two hours on it and feel she deserves it! Ha ha! So i'm sticking her in the following:
