Edwin

 

Hi All!

 

 

I hope this finds everyone well and crafting away!  Yesterday was Matthew - my oldest baby's 23rd birthday.

23!! I just can't believe that he is already 23 years old. Time is just flying right by me. Matthew loves to fish. He spends all of his free time with a pole in his hand. So what better image to use than Edwin with a fishing pole? I can't remember the proper name of this stamp (I have always been bad about keeping packages).

 

He is colored with Copics and of course, I layered the image:

 

 

The fishing hole sign, fishing pole and lures were all cut with my Cameo. I chose to color them instead of  cutting all those tiny pieces with colored paper!

 

So that's all I have today.
Take care ladies!

Good morning friends!

 

 

Today I want to share a birthday card I made for my daughter's friend.

This is one of those times coloring for fun pays off. My girls like to wait until the very last minute to tell me they have birthday parties to go to. From what Jordan tells me, her friends all look forward to her birthday cards. So no pressure right? lol. I have almost depleted my stock of finished cards so I think it's time to get back on the ball. As some of you know I have Fibro and for the last few months it's been taking it's toll so I am still having trouble finding my mojo, which is very frustrating! Hopefully I will get it back soon.

 

Onto my card.

 

I used 'For You' Tilda. She is colored with Copics and layered, but I was in such a hurry to get it finished and get Jordan out the door that I forgot to get a side view of her :(. But here's a close up:

 

That's all for now. Take care, lovely ladies!

A Some Odd Girl Birthday Card

 

Hello Ladies!

 

Today I have a birthday card to share. It's for my daughter Kylee's friend, who is turning 12. I decided to make it simple. Sort of. My daughter chose 2 SOG images. She wanted 2 girls - one to represent each of them (Kylee is the one in purple!).

I used Geeky Mae and Heartsy Mae, colored with Copics, of course! I had to add my favorite banner, but I also added a banner with her name on it, and I made a cute little bow on my Cameo.

 

Here is a close up of the girls

 

 

I layered the images, which is why I said it was "sort of" a simple card 

 

 

 

I must say, I don't know how you ladies keep track of all the different names and types of paper and dies you use. Geez, I'm lucky to remember which Copic colors I used once I have finished coloring!

 

That's all for today. Take care, everyone!
