For The One I Love

I have been having a play with colouring Toby Tumble in not sure if he is a little dark, but over all quite pleased with my fist attempt. This is a digi stamp from Cuddly Buddly called 'For The One I Love' which prints out beautifully, much easier than stamping and looks just as good.

 I have coloured the image in with a mixture of Copics and prisma pencils. The papers are also from Cuddly Buddly they are the Toby Tumble Christmas papers, just great for all those Christmas cards. The lace edge was done with EK punch, i have no Christmas punches so will have to remedy that on my visit to the NEC :)

 I have trawled blog land looking for a challenge i can enter this into and the only one i can find is Tip Top Tuesday which is 'Anything Goes' I have a few more Toby Tumble digies to play with but first i MUST do some dreaded housework 

Toby Tumbles' Urgent Delivery'

This is one of the new Toby Tumble images available from Cuddly Buddly, isn't he so sweet? he is called 'Urgent Delivery' and is available HERE,also available in digi stamp, the rubber stamps will be available soon. I have been playing with the 3D decoupage sheets, it made a pleasant change to be snipping away instead of colouring. The papers are Toby Tumble Christmas papers also available from Cuddly Buddly, they print out beautifully. I will have another card or two to share with you over the next few days so don't forget to check back on my blog. I tell you what the weather has certainly become much colder I think the woolly jumpers will be coming out real soon, think they have forecast snow for some places!

Christmas Cards

I thought i had better get my finger out and get making some Christmas cards for myself, been so busy with design team work cards for the NEC. The Toby Tumble images are just so cute, just know he will be a big success. This cute lil image is made from LOTV die cuts, I hope they will eventually be available in the cute squares as I so love the traditional colours at Christmas. The papers are from SU Christmas pack, not sure if its still available ( if it is Jules can you let me know ) Just a very plain,simple card which I am going to take into work to try and sell, wish me luck. I will be back tomorrow with another LOTV dies cuts card then hopefully I will have a Toby Tumbles card to share with you, he is available at Cuddly Buddly.

Toby Tumble Coming Soon

Wow have you seen this Cute lil Bunny isn't he sweet and he will be available soon at Cuddly Buddly, oh and at the NEC next month as Cuddly Buddly will be doing their first show. I am sure these will sell out very quickly so don't forget to pop along and see Kath and Katie. I will for sure be getting myself some of these lil cuties. They will also be available in digi stamps and 3d decoupage some time in November.
