A few more challenges
Holly and I are going shopping as I need to get her new school stuff for going back to school in a few weeks and if I leave it too long then I will be struggling to get anything, so first day of my holidays from work and I have to spend it shopping!! I am also looking for a new printer but one that will take cartridges that are not too expensive..sometimes they cost as much as a new pinter!! Onto the card...The papers are from Bo Bunny and I have also paper pieced Anya using the same papers, I coloured Anya's skin and hair with copics. The flowers were cut out from the DP and layered to give a 3 effect.

The Owl and the Pussycat....
Well I thought I would try posting this again...what a nightmare I was having with that blogger...I couldn't leave any of you lovely comments but I will try shortly....and Mr Linky had done a runner!! For this card I used Imaginsce papers which I think are quite good for summery or sea type cards. I got the image from Digital Delights as my card was picked for last weeks challenge....and they are doing a spotlight thing on me on Wednesday so watch out for that...you may even get to see what I look like!! I coloured the image with copics to match the paper and finished off with the message, ric rac ribbon and 3 starfish.

My boy is away to T in the Park!!
Well another worrying weekend...Michael has set off with his pals for T in the Park...he has all his medication for his asthma but no beauty products...not sure how that will go as he is a clean freak!!
There's 30 of them in his group of friends that are going so they have between them a 12 man Tee Pee and and 24 man tent...not sure which one will be the party tent.
I will of course try to make contact with him...but I won't get him....he will ding those calls an texts! Will need to sky + it as it usually filmed...last year we spotted him on the telly right at the front when the Killers were playing....so it will be a weekend of playing back and pausing to see if we can spot him...a bit like "where's wally".

It's a cutie...
Well it's a very blustery day here today....but the washing is dry!! On to today's card..I have made this with a few challenges in mind. The papers are Crate Papers which are very easy to distress around the edges because they have an inner core, then I inked them up with my new distress inks....think I need to practise (Linds..I agree with you now!!) The stamp is one of the cute Mangas from Sugar Nellie...although this one looks a bit more stroppy than cute and of course she has been coloured with copics.
