The Coolest Kid

Happy Monday to you, hope you're having a good one.  Our house is on a weeks vacation which has so far meant finally catching up on laundry with the new washer (that actually works (!!)......three's a charm they say!), and completely decluttering my bedroom.  Yay for vacation....gotta love the rest and recuperation.

Anyhow everyone in the house seems to be doing their thing at present, so hopefully no-one will miss me while I sneak on here.

A card for you today and this one was given to my eldest dd for her Birthday a while ago.  I usually tread on thin ice creating cards for her.....has to be cool.....has to be pretty, you know the drill.  I think I covered the main two criteria with this one, but the real reason I think it's perfect for her is 'the look'.  You know 'the look', the one they give you when (in their opinion) you're being very 'Mom'ish, uncool, generally behaving like......a parent!  Well this image has it to perfection......'the look'!

See what I mean?

It's the first time I've coloured this image, which is a Lil' Lolita digi from Tickled Pink Stamps, even though it's one of my faves and been sitting in my stash forever.

Papers are from Authentique 'Journey' and colouring is with Copic's.

I messed up the hair a little because I chose 3 colours I wanted to use, then immediately paid no attention and coloured her whole head with the medium shade.  I had no choice then but to shade with my darkest colour and also streak a little black through there too.

The sentiment is printed from Word, and a fine line marker adds the final touches.

That's it from me so have an awesome day.  We're hoping to hit the beach at some point......beats doing laundry anyhow!

See you soon,

TGIF!

Let the weekend begin already.

I know the hippie chick on today's card is more than ready to party..........these boots are definitely made for more than walking!

So here goes, we're taking it back to the 60's baby..............

Yep, she is 'stylin'! I love this image called '60's Ivy', another goodie from Lil Lolita which you can find over at Tickled Pink Stamps.

Ivy is coloured with Copic's............

and papers are from the Cosmo Cricket 'Nutmeg' 6"x6" pad. The sentiment is a $1.50 rubber stamp I picked up from Michael's quite a while ago.

That's it for today so make sure you have a great weekend. We'll be heading off to the Santa Clause Parade in our neck of the woods.......can you believe it, a Christmas parade already? I'm only just recovering from our Summer/Fall vacation!

See you soon

Happy Day!

Good morning and it is a 'Happy Day' if not a busy one. I'm just dropping in with a quick post before I start my list of tasks for today.

Today's card is using a digi I bought at least a year ago and have been hoarding ever since, waiting for the right paper to come along, and my 'bestest' colouring skills to take over!! She's so cute I didn't want to mess up, so here she is, from Lil Lolita Stamps (which I think I bought through Tickled Pink Stamps, but not quite sure!)..........'20's Evie'........

So, I'm glad I waited cause I do love those (ever decreasing from my stash!) My Minds Eye Stella and Rose papers.

Evie is coloured with Copic's, and I added a Martha Stewart punch, flowers, pearls and ribbon from my stash. The sentiment is a rub-on I've had forever, layered onto tickets cut from my Fancy Pants 'The Little Things' 6"x6" pad.

I like this card, so to prove my point, it headed off across the pond to my Mom for Mother's Day.

That's it from me for today....I may be back later with some challenge hopefuls, so till then........have a good one!
