Farewell to Sofia

I have been teaching Maths to Sofia over the summer holidays. She really finds it tough but has worked hard and this card is to encourage her to keep it up when she goes back to school. The first image is a digital image from LOTV and the second one is from Sassy Cheryl. Both are coloured with Copics and edges are sponged with Memento inks. Designer paper is from Doodlebug.

Hope you like it.

SC540 - Birthday Girl

This week I am prepared - this card is needed for next week so having made it I must remember to post it in time!
I used SC540 and a digital image to make this girlie card.

I stencilled on the background to the image but sadly my green wasn't quite right. The image was coloured with Copics and various papers were used. I haven't used as many papers on a card for a long time!

Dance in the rain

“Life isn't about waiting for the storm

to pass...

It's about learning to

dance  

in the rain.”

 This is a quote I have liked for some time and remember being sent it on a card when going through a tough patch.  With the umbrella die Dave bought me for Christmas and the dancer digital image (from all dressed up) I made this card for someone else who also likes the quote - hope she likes the card.

I die cut the umbrella from DP and then again from some orange card that went underneath the main section.  The image was printed and then coloured with Copics.  The rain drops were drawn on and then tiny gems added to each one.  I am entering this at Word Art Wednesday.

Enjoy any rain that comes your way.

Happy Birthday Taylor

Rob and Shinade have a cute little lad called Taylor who turned two today.   Shinade asked me to make a card for them and this is what I came up with.  The image is a digital one and I was able to re-size it to use it on a magnet.

Taylor is being brought up to support Chelsea - hence the blue and my husband Dave would heartily approve!

I also made him  a football themed card using a Bugaboo image but I forgot to photograph it!

Nephews aka Grandsons to my Mum

Hello sorry I have been so quiet.  Been busy with "real life" so not had so much time to play or indeed much mojo.  Had to get creating today as Mum needs cards for my nephews - two birthdays fast approaching.  Both are digital images and the second one is actually pre-coloured - I know it is cheating but as I also need cards for two other boys this was a quick option and I actually liked the look.  The first one was coloured with Copics.

If  you need a challenge our FOSTV animal challenge is open until tomorrow afternoon and we would love new players.  You can find it here.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Holly Fairy meets WaltzingMouse!

Used this cute digital image with some Waltzingmouse stamps to create this card using this weeks sketch.  All in all a simple card.

Jacob turns 12 today

Jacob has just returned to the UK from Ethiopia to start secondary school.  He has found it tough leaving all his friends behind and making new friends in an area he does not know.  I hope today, his Birthday, is a new beginning for him and that God will bless him with some new friends and class mates who will celebrate with him and be with him for all the challenges they will face going into their teens.  When he was away we sent Chelsea football shirts each Christmas so that is why the lad in this image has a blue shirt.
