Sugar Nellie Blog Hop....

Good morning all my blogging friends.

Welcome to our
Recipe for all Seasons Blog Hop.

Today is the day that we get to share with you some YUMMY YUMMY projects with the new Sugar Nellie stamps!!!!!!!!

If you have hopped here from Elaine's blog then you are now at your last stop.

If you haven't done the hop yet you might want to start at the Sugar Nellie blog so you don't miss anything!!

This is my last posting as one of Karen's Fabulous five. Before I get into my project I want to thank Karen and the other DT girl's for a very fun year!!! I have made wonderful friends and have really enjoyed working with Karen and the DT girl's.

Now I hope you have enjoyed the hop and will stop back by the Sugar Nellie Blog and leave a comment so you can have a chance to win all of this fun little stamps!

Good luck to you..

Now on to my project.. I hope you are still with me.. hee hee hee... A little long winded I guess. I will try and keep the rest of the post short. I do have lots of photos so you can see the details.

For my project I have used the Gingerbread Girl. She can be purchased at Funky Kits along with all of the other fun NEW stamps you have seen today on the hop. Click here to take you there.

I have made a recipe box and a free standing recipe card. The recipe box is a recipe tin by Provo Craft. I got to thinking that a free standing recipe card might be fun and something different. I have not seen one out there in blog land yet. Now just how cute it will be standing on the counter as you make your goodies??
On the tin I have used October Afternoon and Jenni Bowlin papers on along with Bazzil cardstock. I also have used some fun embellies by K & Company. I found some little cookies and the gingerbread clay boy in my stash. I have used trims and ribbons to finish off the tin.




Next is my FREE STANDING recipe card that with also fits so nice in my tin for those fun Holiday recipes to be kept safe.


Here is a photo of it from the side so you can see how it stands up.
I have used the same paper line as the tin and have added lots of ribbon and a doily behind the image.

I have colored my Gingerbread girl with my cropic markers and watercolor pencils. Added a little acrylic paint for the frosting and of course I have to use my stickles on the fur of her coat.

The back side of the recipe card.

The card has the ingredients on the front and the directions on the back.

I hope you have enjoyed the hop and please don't forget to stop back by the Sugar Nellie Blog and leave your comments for your chance to win all of the stamps you have seen on the hop today!

Happy weekend to you all!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the kind emails and commets you leave for me.

They are all greatly appreciated!!

hugs, Janiel

Hello everyone,

Well, Karen over at Sugar Nellie asks us.............

So what kind of cook are you, Delia or Nigella?
Would you rather plug in your Kenwood mixer or your Cricut machine?
More likely to add a pinch or glitter than baking soda?
Use a rocker blocker than a rolling pin?
Prefer to fold paper rather than pastry?.......................

I thought that Karen was very clever with her little questions and why is she asking us that???

Because we are having a Sugar Nellie Christmas blog hop!!

You are all invited to join us.....
Saturday September 4th.
Sugar Nellie is kicking off the Christmas season with a few new fun stamps that you will not want to miss them.
Lots of candy to be had. Christmas and candy just somehow go hand in hand .
You would not want to miss a little sweet treat now would you?
I hope you will mark your calendars and visit us on Saturday..

Have a great day in whatever you do!!
Hope to see you all tomorrow with a special project for Magnolia-Licious Highlites project. I am really excited to show you!!!

hugs, Janiel

Sugar Nellie ..blog buddies hop....I LOVE YOU BEARY MUCH..

Hello all of my blogging friends.

Today myself and the other sugar blogging buddies are having our normal little hop.

I hope you will stop over and see what each one of them have created. I have the list and links at the bottom of this post.

oops..

Edited: I forgot the do the drawing of the SUGAR NELLIES STAMP **YOUNG LOVE**

The winner that was drawn is fi's cards and crafts. I will give Fi until Friday June 11 to get hold of me with her shipping details. If she does NOT then I will draw a new name.

CONGRATS Fi!!!!

I have used the VERY cute stamp called** WORRIED** by Kathy Hare. Now remember you can find all of the SUGAR NELLIE images over at Funky Kits. All of the new images are in stock and ready to ship.

I love this little sweet looking boy. As for me he don't look worried. This image for me had to be done with an old and worn look or a vintage feel like it was just pulled out of and old trunk that had been in the attic for many years. So I have inked all edges and I have even filed or sanded all of the edges to get it that worn look. I even sanded the covered buttons after I inked them!! If you look very close you will see that I even sand a bit after I sewed the paper together. SO some of the sewing is all gone in areas. LOL I am very happy with the look I have gotten with this card. I think this card can just about go to anyone male or female and for just about anything.

I just had to go and find some of my very old and treasured things that I have had in an old trunk to use in my photo. hee hee...........

SUGAR NELLIE BLOG HOP........

Good Saturday morning everyone!!

WELCOME to the Sugar Nellie Blog hop.

We have a *NEW range of stamps for you today by Kathy Hare!!!
VERY VERY CUTE I MUST SAY!!!

If you have hopped here from Donalda's blog then you are right on track if not you may want to start at the Sugar Nellie Blog so you don't miss anything.

Karen has sent me the very cute *LITTLE ARTIST*by Kathy Hare.

I love her.. so CUTE!!!

Now don't forget that all images can be bought at Funkykits-shop.
I have used my watercolor pencils and copic markers to color her. I tried to get her hat to look like tweed. LOL.. not even a good try!! LOL.. I have used bazill cardstocks along with some papers from Doodlebug, Melissa France and Imaginisce. I have added a bit of trim with ribbon and a few square brads and a few round ones at the corners. The word *Imagine* is a clear type sticker I have had here forever. I have sewn on my card. The inside of my card does say *YOU COLOR MY WORLD* but didn't get photo's of that today. This card is a tad bright and plain for my normal work. I was a tad disappointed with the trun out of it. I just feel that I didn't do the CUTE LITTLE IMAGE justice. :o(

BLOG CANDY!!!!!
I have a very cute stamp called *YOUNG LOVE* from the homegrown Collection 2009.
Comments of Karen the SUGAR MOMMA.

Sugar Nellie DT **OLDIES BUT GOODIES**

Hi all of my crafty friends.

Today Judy, Dena and myself are going to do things just a little different. We have invited Sarah and Donalda to join us with the fun. And something else....... Instead of doing our normal same image we are all doing a different image. We are all using some oldies but goodie SUGAR NELLIE images. You will not want to miss any of them. We are hoping that you will get out your oldies but goodie stamps and have some fun with them.

now, let's get this party started. LOL.......

Today I have picked one of my favorite images. If you don't know her she is called SWEET and SASSY. I really think she is more sweet looking than sassy. I have used the sketch from Our Creative Corner . I have also added some rhinestones for bling and that is what Totally Gorjuss Challenge #31 is asking for. Creative card crew is asking for PINK and GREEN. SoO that is the 3 challenges that I will be entering my card into.

You can find all of the SUGAR NELLIE images over at Funky Kits.

Card Ingredients...
Papers: bazill cardstocks, Melissa Frances, 7 Gypsies
Stamps: SUGAR NELLIE Sweet and Sassy, butterfly is from Stampavie
