Dream Big!


Last Friday my Daughter competed in the Karate National Championships and this is the card I made to give her as she was leaving, to wish her luck! I told her that it didn't matter to us where she came as long as she gave it her all then we were proud of her! She works so hard at her Karate, plus I think it helps that she just LOVES it!

I have to say it was one of the most nerve wracking experiences of my life. I felt physically ill as I was sooo nervous for her, so I can only image how she felt! When she started her first fight I swear I thought I was going to be sick...haha! But she did FANTASTIC, she had four fights and only lost one, which meant she missed out on the final, but she fought off for a Bronze medal and I am so proud to say she won! So my daughter is now the 3rd best in Australia...it's so exciting to write that...haha!

Copic Colors Used:
Hair - R08, YR07, YR14, YR21
Skin - E13, E11, E01, E00, E000, R20
Gi - C3, C1, C00
Brown Belt - E79, E77, E74



So my advice to any of my kids is to always Dream Big as you never know how far you can go until you give it a go!

Thanks!

My card today uses the lovely 'Renew' from Some Odd Girl Stamps! Isn't she just sooo Pretty!

I colored this image a little while ago thankfully, cause at the moment I seem to have lost my coloring mojo! I am hoping to find it in the next week or so as I really want to color, but when I sit down to do it I just seem to just sit there and not do anything lol! I am going shopping for a new desk this afternoon as it is my birthday on Sunday and I really want a new desk with just a little more room. Although I don't have a very big space though so it is trying to find one that will fit, anyway fingers crossed and who knows hopefully if I find one it will bring my mojo back!

It's an all AUSSIE Smash Hop!


Welcome to another SMASH Hop! I am sooo excited to be the first on the list of a bunch of very talented Australian Smashers, now this Smash Hop has a very Aussie feel to it today as all the girls today are AUSSIES! We have some Fantatic Australian Smashers and you are going to get a glimpse of just a few of us along this hop, you will not be dissappointed!

Ok So not too sure if I have said this before, but I LOVE PINK lol! So it's not too hard to believe that my next Smash page in my Copic Color Journal is another Pink Combo page! Can you ever have enough Pink Combo's! I think my favourite is the hot Pink Hair with the soft pink top. I have also used a few Freckles & Pigtails embellishments on this page, the gorgeous Fabric yo-yo and button, as well as  the library card!



This next page is a different take on using your Copics. A very good friend of mine, got me a little obsessed with using my copics to color in Distress ink Style, Thanks Sammi, lol! So my next Smash Page is about using my copics to color in Distress Ink style. I had so much fun using this technique, that I just kept coloring images lol! I think there will be a 2nd page to this one some time in the future!



I hope you have enjoyed my Smash Pages and don't foget to continue on with the hop as there are a lot more Inspiring Smash pages to see! So your next stop on the hop is Karyn!
