He loves Me!

Over in the Odd Girl Ning group they are having a hoarders challenge! The challenge is to use 2 things you have been hoarding as well as a new item. So my big hoard is of course paper, have way too much of the stuff...haha! One of my all time favourite paper pads is Graphic 45's Once upon a springtime! I have used 3/4's of my pad, but every time I go to use it I say to myself that the project I'm making isn't good enough to use THAT paper, don't want to waste it lol! So this challenge I decided to use it, so all my paper on my card is from my Graphic 45 paper pad! My other thing I tend to hoard are my Tim Hotlz tickets, well not today! And of course my new item is my newest Odd Girl Stamp, She loves me not Mae, she is just so adorable!

It's a Lily Rose Fairy!

This is just my absolutely favourite Mad For Markers Digi and not just because I named her...haha! The very talented Sammi drew her and I just love her!

Now I have printed this image to just under an A4 size, so she is pretty big, I am still thinking about what I might do with her, maybe I will frame her and put her somewhere, not sure yet!

I have again done the no lines technique with this picture, not sure if I will ever color using black stamped images again...haha! All I know is I was a little uninspired lately and all of a sudden I am coloring up a storm and loving it, so why not go with it!

Going a little Odd!

I have been having a lot of fun playing with the 'No Lines' Technique and I have to say that there are definitely going to be more pictures colored this way! I just love the way it looks!

My first shadow box!

Well I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a nice break if you managed to go away! We managed to get away for a couple of weeks camping.

I made this shadow box a couple of months ago for my hubby for our wedding anniversary, I have never made one before but it was actually a lot of fun doing something different and he really loved it.

Shocking as it is to say this, there are NO copics in this creation...haha! Sometimes it is nice to have a break from coloring and do something different!

Well I had lost a bit of my crafty mojo this last couple of months, but it seems I have found it again and have started coloring again, so I should have some more to show very soon!

My BIG boys a teeneger, plus some Sad News!

Well a couple of weeks ago my Baby Boy Turned 13, I know I can't believe that I am nw the mther of a teenager! He is even starting to do the whole grunting thing, so we don't actually get much out of him but a couple of mumbles and grunts...haha! Going to be a fun few years! Anyway here is his card that i made hime with Byron the Skater Boy, a M$M digi stamp, which you can get from here!

Now onto some very SAD news, Sammi over at Mad For Markers is closing her virtual doors to focus more on her family, a tough decision for Sammi, but Family has to come first!

So everything in the store is marked down to sell. All Copic Sketch Markers are $6.50 and Ciaos are $4.50. Most stamps are 20% off and there are plenty more bargins to be had, so make sure to head over and grab yourself a little something extra for Christmas!

And lastly I just wanted to say that over the last few years it has been an absolute pleasure meeting and getting to know the lovely Sammi and if it wasn't for Mad For Markers and our love of Copics we would have never met and I am now happy to call you one of my closest friends, even if we do live a state apart! So wishing you all the very best Miss Sammi on everything you do!

Lets go Fly a Saturated Canary kite!

I have another Saturated Canary Card to show you today! I just love this girl, she is just so adorable! Now she is currently out of stock in the M4M store, but I have it on good authority that more are on their way as I type, lol!

I have to say that I have kind of copied these colors from a card I saw Claudia Rose do, I can't seem to find it on her blog, so maybe it was on facebook that I saw it, but she did hers using distress inks and I just loved the vinatge look to it so I tried to replicate it with my copics! I am really happy with how it turned out and in the end it got me using some copics that I dont tend to use, which are the E80's, but I will definitely be using them again!

This card is for my good friends birthday next week, but she doesn't look at my blog so I know I am safe to put it up here!

Last week was my 12th wedding Anniversary, time sure flies when your having fun! We had a really nice evening, we went out for dinner, which was a lovely meal at a new Chinese Restaurant near us and then we came home for some desert that I mad made during the day, a lovely Choc Mouse tart with Orange caramel! Yummo!
