Sugar Addicts Showcase Sunday ... and some candy

 I was really flattered and honoured when Elaine asked me if I would like to be one of Sugar Nellie's Sugar Addicts ... as if I have many stamps from that fabby Scottish rubber company!!!

I made a couple of cards for Elaine to show ...

 I used this stunning digi, Joy Sitting, and coloured her in using aquamarkers.  I used Basic Grey Wisteria and added some ribbon and flowers to finish her off.  I love Joy in soft, muted, almost vintagey colours, rather than bright colours.  She always reminds me of pictures of my Mum when she was little ... all the pics are sepia-ed, Mum being a war baby!!!

I have to confess to a HUGE soft spot for the Simply Sassy range (only 3 to buy ...eekkkK!!!).  I coloured Bedtime Snuggles in using my aquamarkers, don't you just love those bunny slippers?!  Now she looks fab in bright colours and I think this DCWV Pocketfull of Posies paper is great for her!  I used cerise cardstock and ric-rac, and f few gems ... flowers were a little over-powering!


And now for those of you with a sweet tooth ... some Sugar free candy to celebrate my Showcase ...

1 x Simply Sassy Luve a latte stamp
1x Manga Dress up games
1x promarker Spring set of pens
1x pack pink flat backed pearls
selection of pearls
selection of card candy
selection of ribbon (to be added!)

There are no silly rules for this candy, just add your link and post it on your blog.   If you want to follow my blog it is entirely up to you.  A comment might be nice, but again that is up to you.  The link will close on Sunday 10th April at midnight and I will draw the winner on Monday 11th April.

I had a fab time at the NEC ,, met Lols and Heather, and had a right natter.  Had a long coffee breakwith jaqui and Marlene ... and met Fleur, Jo and Lou for Basic Grey Challenges.   Ohhh and spent a little!!!

A few Lavinias, some LOTV, ink pads, pearls, House Mouse and card candy
...can't wait to play!!

Congratulations - have had a wander & rather like what I see (wink - that case of Prisma pencils is a real treat to behold) so have signed up tp follow. I've heard much about you from Ali so it was about time I did. Have had a snailing broadband but looks like I'm back in business.
Hope you're fully recovered from the sickness & enjoy playing with your new goodies.
