The Birthday Girl...

We had a birthday in the Sears household this week...Georgia turned 12 on Friday....So here is the card I made her...

Have you noticed a bit of a theme going on....Yes, I used Krista's Saturated Canary image called Best Friends Selfie, coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E51/E53/E55/E57
Eyes - B21/B66/E47/E49
Clothing - B91/B93/B95/B97/BG10/BG11/R27/R29
Accessories - BG32/BG34
The papers are all by First Edition from the Neroli 6x6 paper pad and layered with some cardstock from my stash...usually Bazzill. I have embellished with a doily some old Heidi Swapp bling (the circle), AC Thickers, Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers and a Hero Arts sentiment stamp.

Georgia was really pleased with the card (coloured to look like her and her cousin Hannah)...she even took a photo and added it to InstaGram for her friends to see....

Have another card made ready to share on Tuesday...make sure you come back...

PostPals...

So on Friday I talked here about Post Pals...sending cards to sick kids. Well here is a card I made for one of them...

I just adore this image by Krista @ Saturated Canary, it's called Best Friends Selfie...and it's totally my fave image at the moment....I love how versatile it is...kids, teens, adults....everyone loves a Selfie!

So I have used Copics and coloured the image in the young lady at Post Pals favourite colours...Lime, Pink and any shade of blue.
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E51/E53/E23/E25/E27/E29
Clothing - BG10/BG11/BG13/YG000/YG01/YG03/B91/B93/B95/B95
Accessories - R81/R83/R85
The ppers are American Crafts Color Crush (lime green zigzag) and the rest are Crate Paper Maggie Holmes all are layered with Bazzill Kraft cardstock or Doodlebug Sugar Coated Cardstock (turquoise). I have embellished with a doily, some bling, Tim Holtz chit chat stickers and a couple of stamps (hello & smile).

This weekend I just need to write a lovely note to go inside for the young lady, and mail with yesterdays card that is for her younger brother.

I have been so busy colouring this image that I have two more cards to share...so please come back...

Dropped off the face of the Earth...

I am not sure if I was missed....but I am back after a nasty cough that just wouldn't go...turned into a bit of an infection...anyway I am finally back to almost 100%...probably about 90% health..

So I thought I would share only the third card I have made since the end of January...

This week on Cute Card Thursday our challenge is Here comes Summer....

I have used an image by Wendy Burns @ All Dressed Up which I have coloured with Copics (boy do I feel rusty when it comes to colouring...) using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E53/E55
Clothing - BG70/BG72/BG75/Y21/Y26/R27/R29/C0/C1
The papers are all American Craft Hip Hip Hooray layered with some random red cardstock. I embellished making some bunting from washi tape and twine, and added an AC Flair badge "Hi", and a Inkadinkado Quote sentiment stamp.

I did make a couple of Baby cards while I was away so will show you those over the next couple of days..

I hope to be back more regularly from now on...but Sea Cadets are back boating for the Summer...so life tends to get a little hectic.

Cute Card Thursday - Good Luck Charm!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday blog our theme is Good Luck Charm.

For my card I have used a Saturated Canary image called Ava she was a former freebie, but can now be bought for just $2...bargain price. I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/E13/R20
Eyes - E47/E49
Har - E25/E27/E29
Clothing - BG10/BG11/BG13/Y38/R20/R21
The papers are all American Crafts Dear Lizzie Neopolitan. I have added just some bakers twine, bling, a star charm and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

Feels kind of weird going back into my little craft room...feels like I have not been in there for ages, but with all this sunshine it just seems wrong to hide in there...
