A Life full of Giggles

Hi All,

I'm having major issues getting my photo right today, After ages of fiddling its still not right, but at least it should give you an idea. Been playing with another Saturated Canary image ... she has been coloured  with a combo of copic's and prismas. I have teamed it with papers from " My Minds Eye / Kate&Co " .... Again I have gone for a fairly simple layout ... think I am just going through a bit of a less is more phase.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

My Mum's Craft Shop - Anything Goes
Clear It Out - Anything Goes
Tip Top Tue - Cute
Fab N Funky - Pink
As You Like it (Fav Real or Faux Stitching ) - I have Faux stitching, This goes on nearly every card I make, I like to do little dots and then join up with lines, to give a hand stitch look.

Kitchen Thank You - Take 2

Hi All,

I mentioned in my last post that I had received a number of lovely gifts for my kitchen. This card is for my MIL who very kindly got me a kenwood, which I am loving especially as I bake a lot more now with the assistance of my 2 year old!!

Again I coloured in Kitchen Tilda, she is just perfect for the occasion, She has been coloured with a combo of Copics and Prisma's. I chopped into the card a little in an attempt to make it look like an apron, and I have teamed it up with some Bo Bunny papers.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Moving Along With The Times - Sweet Treats
Charisma Cards - Anything Goes

The Sugar Bowl - April

Hello All,

Well its time for another challenge over at the Sugar Bowl ... & I have chosen the option of Springtime.

This may not look the most exciting card but I am rather impressed with it, as I made the whole thing in an hour!! ..... That never happens to me, but it was a case of needs must! .... although looking at it now I realize I have forgot to colour one of the flowers, how could I have missed that!!!!

I love this image and I have not used it in ages so it was nice to ink it up again.

Please don't forget to join us, there is as always the fabulous prize of 4 Sugar Nellie stamps. Look forward to meeting you in the Sugar Bowl.

Hugs Juls
