Finally a new creation and some very EXCITING news!

Hi there, well hopefully there are still people reading this as I have been just a tad bit neglectful of my poor blog lately, but I promise you it is all for a Fantastic reason! It seems that I am going to need to change my blog name from Crafty Mummy 2 five, to Crafty Mummy 2 six! Yep thats right......

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!

After quite a while trying I am soooo excited to announce that baby #6 is on its way! So therefore I have been suffering with pretty bad morning sickness and haven't been doing very much of anything, especially crafting, but I am slowly feeling better and have even completed a few projects lol! Speaking of which.........

Over in the Odd Girl Ning group they are having an ODD IDOL competition and I have made a card to enter, there is an Amazing Prize for the overall winner, which will run over a series of rounds, so fingers crossed...haha!

Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying their morning! 

Make a Wish!

This is one of the first no lines coloring I did! I thought that I had already showed her on my blog, but it turns out I haven't! My girls think I should make her blonde and that way she would be a perfect tinker bell! I might have to do that with the next one I do, especially when one of my girls is mad about Tinkerbell!

I can't find my list of copics that I used for this Gorgeous Odd Girl, but there were quite a few lol!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, ours is just about over :( but I have a couple of sickies so there might be a couple of girls who stay home from school tomorrow!

2 Hearts Kody!

I am entering this card into the Some Odd Girl Sketch Challenge. I have actually flipped the sketch but I am pretty happy with myself for sticking to a sketch...hha! Usually I can't help myself and have to keep adding to the card! Probably helped that it was a card for my husband, couldn't keep adding flowers or bling...haha!

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!

You can still buy this Digi from the Mad For Markers Shop, so if you don't already own her, pop over and grab yourself the cutest little fairystamp!

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!
