Irma and Vieno - Ice Ice baby

I couldn't help singing Ice, Ice baby when putting this together.

Irma and Vieno are certainly Ice babes and can be purchased here from Mo manning.

I used one of my own background papers (scroll down the page for them) then matched their clothing to the papers, coloured with copic markers. sparkled with stickles embossed with a sizzix snowflake folder then added a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

Stickles glitter glue added to hats, pom poms and snowflakes to give it that icy feeling

Classic Wedding Shoe - Just Inklined

I went for the soft dreamy classic look with this card, I figure every wedding card sould be dreamy, the shoe was coloured with Copic markers in natural colours then edged with a gold liner pen I added the above image to try to shoe you the gold on the shoe.

For details of the shoe scroll down to the bottom of the post.

Attention to detail...

I love this fall embossing folder by Sizzix the leaves just pop right out from the page, I only embossed 2 opposite corners on the top car with the wedding shoe on then edged this with the beautiful twill tape ribbon from Craft Fairy

A couple of punched out leaves scored and curled and a pearl added to the center.

An Act of Kindness

There comes a chance in our lives to give a little something back, my husband did just that a few years ago when he took aid to Belarus in Russia he made a difference in the lives of young orphaned children and the experience left a dent in his heart knowing of the sorry of these children had known.

Then two years ago I was contacted by Nika, a beautiful lady who followed my blog I soon found out that Nika's husband is a missionary and they travel Russia trying to make a difference to the lives of others.

Nika asked if I could help in getting some Paper Dolls that I had made and given away so that her little girls could have some as she knew that they would love them.

This is where Mo Manning stepped in and allowed me to send coloured ones of them to her.

I've added a preview further down the page of the coloured images.

This is a picture of Nika and her family aren't they beautiful?

It take a special kind of person to give up their lives to helping others and below we have a special family that does just that.

You can read about their journey on Nika's blogs

Winter Delivery - Mo Manning

I've entered this one in the One Stop Craft Challenge, Challenge 108 - Christmas Cuties

Isn't this little fellow just the cutest darn thing you've seen?

his bag is brimming to the top with acorns in preperation for a long winter.

Winter Delivery can be purchased here.

He is coloured with Copic markers and Prisma pencils, a bit of stickles glitter glue and some Stampin Up Christmas paper.

Ribbon is by Craft Fairy and the red is satin and the green is the most beautiful twill ribbon, It's available in 3 colours but I have my fingers and toes crossed that she will stock more colours in it real soon as I love it.

Judging by the white stuff that is falling in my garden I may be in need of a Winter delivery myself.

Elegant Shoe

I thought that I should feature a card with the Wedding Shoe Digi stamp to show you that it will work fabulously as a birthday card too.

Coloured with Copic markers and layered with wine coloured card stock, not a bit of ribbon (except the bow on the stamp) no adhesive beads or pearls and not a Martha Stewart punch in sight.

Wizz Doodles

Harry Potter fan or not you are sure to love this little character Wizz Doodles by Just Inklined will be a big hit to whoever you send him to, he is coloured with Promarkers, satin ribbon from The Craft Fairy and sprinkled with glitter and a bit of magic.

Happy Birthday

We are celebrating a Birthday today at La Pashe, Craig is my adopted son (he calls me Mam2)and he is also our Sales Manager at La Pashe and loves a bit of limelight, heis off work today but this is us celebrating his birthday last week.

He is jealous of Jonathan at work who owns a Darth Vader Lightsaber and has gone on and on about wanting one so I made him a Darth Vader Toy and we used a glow stick from Party Room to mimic the Lightsaber (oooh yes you can also get 10% off first orders there too, just stick IMGN2010 in the coupon code).

If you fancy making some of the shown character boxes there is a brilliant site where you can download them free and they have masses to choose from. Toy-a-Day
