Panic Over

Happily surfing the web on Weds, looking at craft sites of course, when all of a sudden, a black screen, couldn't sort it out, and had to turn computer off by unplugging, not good. So trip to computer shop, and after 2 days got a call to say it couldn't be mended, big panic, till he told me it was only the monitor that had a fault, and it would be cheaper to buy a replacement, than fix it, but he couldn't get me a replacement till next Weds. Well as I had cards to finish, and needed to print some papers, not good, but a trip to Argos  last night, got me sorted , and i'm up and running again, and here is one of the cards that I finally finished this morning.

It's for the birthday of a friend, who has fireworks at most of his parties, so thought this image would be appropriate.
Image is Newton Bear coloured with copics, found background paper on internet, added bakers twine and a button.

Another Sunny Day

Well it's a beautiful day again here in West Yorkshire, and i'm pleased to say that I feel much better, although I have a  hacking cough, and being outside seems to make it worse, so am staying indoors for the moment. Will have to venture into the garden later, as we are having a BBQ, daughter and family coming for birthday tea. Anyway here is a card I made yesterday, it's for a friend who will soon have a new addition to her family

Not blogged for a while

Sorry I haven't been around blogland for a while, went to stay with my  my youngest daughter and her family for a week, then got bogged down with other  family stuff, but as it's oldest daughter's birthday on Thurs, thought i'd better get organised and make a card. Can't believe Tracy is 40 this year, where has the time gone?

I watched Mel Heaton on Creat and Craft colouring with copics last week, so got my copics out and coloured this image, first time I haven't binned an attempt at colouring long hair!
The image is from Pink Gem
Papers from a first edition pad (summer breeze) and a MCS CD
Flowers from wild orchid and country baskets
Numbers cut with silhouette

A LITTLE CUTIE

Isn't the image on this card so cute

My friend Susan gifted me a few PB images, and this one is so cute. I coloured it with a mixture of copics, promarkers and prisma pencils, used seam binding for the bow, and the gems and flowers are a birthday gift from my daughter, will add a sentiment, when I decide who the card is for .
