Christmas Fairy

Two days in a row, this must be some kind of record!  This card is for Cute Card Thursday. They have a great sketch challenge and I'd started colouring a digital image I had on hand. It's called Poppy Fairy but I can't for the life of me remember where I got it from. The colours give it a bit of a Christmas feel to it so I used some of my My Minds Eye Christmas papers.

Supplies:
Stamps - Digital Poppy Fairy
Copics: G21 YG63, YG67, R35, R37, RV29, E19, E000, E11, E31, E50, E25
Papers: My Minds Eye Lost & Found Christmas
Accessories: SU Ribbon coloured with G21, antique brads

It's Cup Day here in Melbourne and it's nearly time for the big race, so if you're in this part of the world, hope you're making the most of your day off.  If you're not, hope you're enjoying your day anyway!

thanks for stopping by

Forever Friends Christmas

Hey folks

YEAH it's Friday which means I'm not at work and not thinking about building websites or rewriting content (blogging doesn't count!). So I decided to have some fun with my new Forever Friends stamps and get a head start on Christmas cards. Who knows maybe I'll even send them out this year LOL!

This was super quick to colour and would have been quick to put together if I'd been able to decide on the papers!

Supplies
Stamps: Forever Friends Christmas Stamps available at Picture2Page
Copics: E40, E50, E51, E53, R85, R83, R81, YG11, W1
Paper: Kaiser Christmas Carnival


Dee and I are off to a Girls Night In scrapping workshop tonight to raise money for breast cancer, so hopefully I'll have some goodies to share a little later on.  For now it's off to make some cupcakes to take with me!

Have a great day

Pink Elephant meets KiKi La Rue!

Oh how the weekend flies when you're enjoying yourself!  It has been cold and wet here in Melbourne but we've had a great weekend.  Dylan played soccer yesterday and not only did they win both games, he scored his first goal!!  He was so excited and it was just too cute to watch a bunch of five year old running around after the ball.  They have such a great time, and of course all the world cup action at the moment just fills them with excitement!

After soccer the kids headed off with Grandma and Grandpa for a sleepover, so we caught up with some dear friends that we haven't seen for a while.  This morning we headed off to a winery for lunch as part of the 'Shortest Lunch' festival. We're really lucky to live in the middle of the fantastic Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges and we're spoilt for choice when it comes to great food and wine.

The kids are home now and I've made up for my lost cuddles, so all in all it's been a great weekend.

This afternoon I finished off some cards that I'd started yesterday.  The first is a sketch challenge for The Pink Elephant.  I found some funky retro style papers by October Afternoon the other day and I thought they would go perfectly with my new little Kiki La Rue stamp.  So here's what I came up with...

Papers: October Afternoon DSP, SU Kiwi Kiss Cardstock

Stamps: Coffee Kiki La Rue, TGF Sentiment 

Copics: Hair -  E70,71,74,77 & 79, Clothes -  BG 10,11, Mug: YG 63, 11 Flowers - R27, 29 

Off to make a quick cuppa then I'll be back with another couple of cards I made for the cutest set of twins that go to kinder with Dylan.  He's heading off to their party later on in the week and for once, I'll have the cards ready before we're about to rush out the door:)

till next time
