Colouring

Well im slowly getting into the card making and stamping side of things and i am loving the colouring in of stamped images lately so i have started to have a go at it… ok here is my first attempt at colouring an image. I have used water colour pencils and copic markers…

This card was made for my sister for her birthday which was today (Happy birthday Sis)…

I have made this using Sketch #60 over at Card Patterns and i have also used a Dressy Joyce digital …(they are such gorgeous stamps you must go check them out at The Greeting Farm) stamp for the Club Anya challenge blog where you had to use fruit or vegetables for your inspiration i chose the October afternoon farm fresh range of papers

ok let me know what you think

Another Challenge

I had to use 3 of the current challenges over at Scrapbook Dreamer to make this page i used the sketch challenge, the word challenge and the technique challenge of making your own embellishments. I have also combined this challenge with a fun new colour challenge site i found called The Colour Room. The first challenge is up now and its gorgeous... go and check it out...

Need some help

Im looking at getting into copics and want to know where to start. Do i get the sketch ones or the ciao ones? If anyone out there that reads my blog could help that would be great

Thanks

So bad again

I think i need a little reminder somewhere to make me blog more often… maybe an alarm once a week saying  blog sheree blog LOL….

Ok so whats been happening. Well working mainly so not alot else has happened. Been doing a bit of scrapping but mainly for kits and classes for work so nothing that i can share just yet.

Kaitlyn has been on school holidays and last weekend she went away to Nundle with mum and dad while i had to work. She had a great time… she has now gone to her fathers house for 9 days (the longest she has ever been away from me boo hoo) I'm going to miss her that's for sure, so as you can imagine its very very quiet around here.

Today i decided to have a relaxing day at home doing nothing (well cant do much anyway as my car is broken)… so i had a scrappy day. Got 2 class pages done and i also got set a challenge over at Scrapbook Dreamers. Laura set me a challenge to keep my mind off kaitlyn not being here. My challenge was to use something 9. For example 9 patterned papers, 9 flowers etc… so this is what i came up with pretty happy with it actually. I used 9 brads on this layout.

ok off to just hang out and watch a movie i think.

be back soon i promise

xoxo
