Plus there is a DT call so if you want to work with lovely ladies and have fun with adorable images, now is the time:-) Speaking of adorable images, there is a freebie! I was very excited when I saw that freebie named Saffron, because she is one of the Sugar 'n Spice Dolls and I just LOVE those dolls! I was so excited that I made 2 cards LOL!!! Thank you Barbara for inviting me and letting me play:-)!

Bonjour! Oui, c'est encore moi, cette fois pour vous parler de tout ce qui se passe chez Little Miss Muffet!

En parlant d'images craquantes, il y a en plus un freebie! J'étais super excitée de voir ce freebie, car c'est une adorable demoiselle de la gamme des Sugar 'n Spice Dolls et je les ADORE!

Make It Crafty news and MIC Challenge:-)

Hello all! Here is the third (out of 3) post... I would like to tell you about the current Make It Colourful Challenge, but before that, HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW MAKE IT CRAFTY STORE? Zoe has completely redesigned it, it is so nice to navigate and there are lots of gorgeous coloured previews of the images for inspiration! And if I were you, I would take a look at the NEW STUFF in the digital stamps section... I'm not telling you more, I will let you see for yourselves! Go HERE, you won’t be disappointed!!! Aren’t they gorgeous:-)?

Bonjour! Le 3e message (sur 3) que je voulais publier... Avant de vous parler du challenge de Make It Colourful, avez-vous vu la NOUVELLE boutique MAKE IT CRAFTY? Zoe a tout refait, il y a plein de belles images en couleur pour nous donner des idées et la boutique est vraiment conviviale! Et si j'étais vous, j'irais jeter un oeil aux nouveautés, THE NEW STUFF, dans les images digitales... Je ne vous en dis pas plus, voyez plutôt par vous-mêmes! Vous ne serez pas décus!!! Alors, trop belles, non:-)?

We are having a great challenge at Make It Colourful, which is to recolour an image from earlier in the year and share both images! And you have until January 11th to play, no reason to join us:-)!

Le challenge de Make It Colourful est de colorier une image que vous avez déjà coloriée cette année et de partager les deux images, pour comparer:-)! Vous avez jusqu'au 11 janvier pour participer!

I chose to recolour a special image, one I used for Zoe's special monthly challenges in July 2011 to celebrate Make It Crafty's first birthday, challenges in which I had so much fun participating! And also because I think this image is perfect to celebrate the new store:-)! The challenge was to use the colours of Make It Crafty, and I thought it would be nice to include the logo somewhere, that's why, with Zoe's permission, I included the logo in my image. Here is the image I coloured back in July 2011...

J'ai choisi de recolorier une image que j'avais utilisée pour les challenges spéciaux de juillet 2011 auxquels j'avais adoré participer, pour fêter l'anniversaire de Make It Crafty. Il fallait utiliser les couleurs du logo, et j'avais trouvé sympa l'idée de l'inclure dans mon image... Voici l'image version juillet 2011...

JULY 2011

And the recoloured image, December 2011, for which I used the same colours + 4 other markers... I did not look at the original when I recoloured to avoid being influenced:-)

Et l'image coloriée en décembre 2011, avec les mêmes couleurs + 4 autres feutres... Je n'ai pas regardé l'original quand j'ai colorié mon image à nouveau pour ne pas être influencée:-)

DECEMBER 2011

I took a picture of both images together to have exactly the same conditions and light:-)... My recoloured image is on the left... J'ai pris une photo des 2 ensemble pour avoir exactement les mêmes conditions d'éclairage et pouvoir faire une vraie comparaison... La nouvelle image est à gauche...

Phone and internet issues... AARRRRGGGHHHH

Hi all! Just a quickie to let you know I have no phone at the moment and only seem to have internet access for what seems like 30 seconds in a row, then nothing... I can't go blogging or write the emails I want to write, which is REALLY getting on my nerves and upsetting me, and I can't finish my Christmas shopping either LOL! I guess it is due to the bad weather we have had but have no idea when things are going to get better, fingers crossed it is very soon!! Posting while the lights are green on my box...

Pas de téléphone du tout et internet juste par intermittence, je publie tant que je vois les lumières vertes sur ma box, avant que tout s'éteigne à nouveau... Moi aussi je suis verte, pas de visite, pas d'emails, et pas de shopping de Noël... J'espère que ça va rentrer dans l'ordre très vite... Bref, ne vous inquiétez pas... Bisous à toutes,

Hugs to all,

Delphine xx

Make It Colourful #41 DT - Look at that hat...

Hello all! It is Friday - oooh I love Fridays - and we have a new challenge for you at Make It Colourful! This fortnight we would like you to "Colour White", not the scariest challenge we have had:-)! To give you some inspiration, my teamies have made gorgeous examples, which you can see in the gallery HERE! And there is a fantastic prize as always, a $20 gift voucher to Make It Crafty!

Bonjour à toutes! Vendredi... J'adore le vendredi... et nous avons un nouveau challenge Make It Colourful! Cette semaine, le défi est de "colorier en blanc", on a fait bien pire! La DT a créé des exemples superbes, à voir dans la galerie ICI! Et comme toujours, un super prix, un bon d'achat de $20 offert par Make It Crafty!

I have chosen to colour an image I completely fell in love with... Really, it was love at first sight!!! It is called Chantelle at The Races, here is the whole image... L'image que j'ai choisie de colorier est l'histoire d'un coup de foudre... Je l'adore! Elle s'appelle Chantelle at the Races, la voici en entier...

And although I had several ideas for my card, had prepared a few handmade flowers, had a sketch in mind, well I came up with another CAS card...
Et malgré un sketch en tête, des fleurs que j'ai même faites, rien n'y a fait, j'ai finalement opté pour du CAS...

Image: Chantelle at the Races by Make It Crafty

Copics: C0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, E000, 00, 02, 11, RV02, 04, 06, W0, 1, 3

Make It Colour Blending Card

DPs: Stamperia 

Embellishments: Make It Crafty Chipboard (Swirly Corners and Mix n Match Centres), pearl

I coloured the corners with a C9 Copic, and the little flower with pearl is made up of 2 pieces coming from the Mix n Match Centres chipboard pack that I layered, one coloured with C9, the other with RV04. 

As for colouring white, I used C0, 1, 3. The dress is the first thing I coloured on my image, I was afraid it would look too grey... Then I coloured the rest of my image, using some black (with my Cs), thinking that the white could catch some of the black around and the contrast would maybe help "bring out" the white too:-).

J'ai colorié les coins avec mon copic C9, et la petite fleur avec perle est faite en superposant 2 pièces des Mix n Match Centres, l'une coloriée avec mon Copic C9, l'autre avec mon RV04.

Pour colorier balnc, j'ai utilisé mes Copics C0, 1 et 3. La première chose que j'ai coloriée est la robe, j'avais un peu peur d'avoir la main lourde et qu'elle fasse trop grise... Puis j'ai colorié le reste de l'image et utilisé du noir, en pensant que le contraste contribuerait à faire ressortir le blanc:-)!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Creative Craft Challenges - Free For All
Create Me Pink - #4 Digi Stamp Challenge

ABC Christmas time!

Hello all! I hope you are well? Thank you for all kind words about my little one and for all your lovely comments. I have not been able to visit much since this weekend, but I hope to be able to catch up this afternoon (Oooh I love Wednesdays!!!) We have a new challenge for you at ABC Christmas, brought to you by our lovely Dorte! This week, X is for Xerox... We would like you to xerox one of our team's cards, in other words, CASE a card by one of our DT members, from one of our challenges, this one or any other in 2011. Oh and please put a link to the card you are casing:-) We are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps, offering the lucky winner 7 digis of his/ her choice...

and Digital Delights, offering the winner, 3 digis of his/ her choice...

Bonjour à toutes! Merci d'abord pour tous les gentils messages que vous m'avez laissés, mon petit bonhomme va beaucoup mieux! Je suis en retard (comme d'hab), et n'ai presque pas rendu de visites depuis ce week-end, je compte sur mon mercredi après-midi pour me rattraper! Le nouveau challenge d'ABC Christmas est X comme Xerox, on vous demande donc de copier/ vous inspirer d'une carte d'un membre de la DT, faite pour ce challenge ou n'importe quel autre en 2011. Et aussi d'ajouter un lien vers la carte que vous aurez choisie:-) Nous sommes sponsorisés par Bugaboo et par Digital Delights, 2 gagnants donc!

I decided to case a card made by Carissa for our Q challenge... Here is her gorgeous card:-)

and here is mine...

Stamps: Bugaboo Little Penguin Winter Bench, Penny Black sentiment

Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour  Blending Card

DPs: MME

Embellishments: Make It Crafty Snowflake Stars Chipboard painted white,
Star Dust Stickles

It doesn't show very well on the photo, but there is a lot of sparkle IRL, with the glittered DP and Stickles I used on the chippies and image... Elle brille beaucoup plus en vrai, cette carte, mais bon...

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges: 

Winter Wonderland - What a Cutie

Digital Tuesday - #138 Sparkle And Shine (Glitttered paper at the top, stardust Stickles on image and chipboard)

Crimbo Crackers - #2 Make It Sparkle

Pollycraft - #120 Christmas fun

Crafty Emma's Store - Snowflakes
