SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Flippin Heck!! Record temperatures last week and then this morning I opened my door to this!

It is still snowing on and off, hoping it magically disappears overnight. Perfect weather to stay in and craft though.
Here is my latest colouring attempt. I spent ages on her hair but am pleased with how it turned out.

The image is another from Saturated Canary, this was a freebie in February but I just haven't had a chance to use her yet. Thank you Krista for being so generous with your gorgeous images. Here's a closer look

The image is coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers, papers are Bo Bunny (yummy) and the sentiment is Stampin' Up!. I am entering this into the following challenges
Saturated Canary - thinking of you
Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Two cards in one week!!!

Yes indeed I have managed to make the staggering amount of two cards, why do I never seem to have crafty time these days. Anyway, I used another fabulous Saturated Canary image

She is coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers and I was trying a new colour combo for the hair but picked up the wrong colour by mistake (oops) so had to improvise. Don't suppose it turned out too bad. The papers are MME, corner and roses WOC and the sentiment is Stampin' Up!.
I am entering this into the following challenges
Crafts and Me - use a new image
Scrapbook Sisters - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Sketch and Stash - sketch 12 and new image

Hope you all have a good weekend, I hope to get more colouring done!!

Back To School!!

Well my two were ready to leave the house at 7.50am this morning- eager to get to school or what???
My eldest started secondary school, here he is

He had a great time, wonder how long it will take before the novelty wears off? Here he is with his younger brother



And now for my card. I am entering another image into the Simply Sassy Header Challenge and here she is

I tried out the new Promarker ultra-fine nibs and they were brilliant for colouring this delicate image. Thanks hubby for buying me them :0)
Here's my card using the sketch from the current chllange over at Sketch and Stash

The papers are K & Co Sparkly Sweet, the sentiment and cardstock are Stampin' Up!
Hope you like her, planning to get the boys to bed early and chillax
thanks for stopping by

Last card of the year perhaps?

I am hoping that I will have time to do some crafting in between cooking and cleaning today but you never can tell. This card was rustled up very quickly last night using a gorgeous Paper Bag Studios image that a friend sent me. Isn't she adorable?
The paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the cardstock is Stampin' Up! as is the sentiment. I coloured the image with Promarkers and then blended Antique Linen Distress Ink around it.

 I am entering this card into the following challenges

Sketch & Stash - #51
Fab n Funky - quick and easy does it
Passion for Promarkers - Mega Christmas challenge

Wishing all my followers and visitors a happy and healthy 2011.
