Sweet Girl

Evening all. As if three posts in one day wasn’t enough I thought I would pop back with another creation, hehe!

I have made a lot of cards this year, probably the most ever and as I don’t sell them I am starting my own little card mountain! I thought I would get back to making some other things. I already have my colouring journal where I just make pretty pages for me to keep but I thought I would make a little album of memories and pictures.

I’m not into art journaling or even really into scrapbooking so I thought I would do it in my own way. So I’ve decided to make an album and make pages that represent what’s stored after them (a bit like file dividers) if that makes sense.

This one represents my little girl who will turn 3 in January and I have some really cute pictures and her drawings that I want to keep behind it. I’ve used the super cute Willow from Art by Miran:

And I’m going to throw my hat into ring for the DT call that is open on the Art by Miran blog. I would love the chance to join the team but there are some absolutely fabulous entries already, so I’ll just have to keep everything crossed! I love the style of Miran's images and they are all so super cute and if I was selected it would just be an absolute honor to work with such a fabulous team.

Supplies:

• Image: Willow from Art by Miran 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Brown, Kraft and Pink card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• DP: First Edition ‘Sweet Owl’ 8x8 paper pad
• Embellishments: Pearls, Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers and doodling

I promise that’s the last post from me today! Thank you for stopping by

Morning All. We have a busy day today and are off on a trip to London. My Hubby’s company are having a Summer Party at the Saracens Ground which include lot’s of fun things like bouncy castles and the like. Although the kids are more excited about the train and tube ride to get there!

Lovely Irene

Evening all. I’m here to share a card I created for the Art by Miran DT Call. I was hoping to get it posted while the kids were having their tea but I started sorting out some of their toys and it snowballed into a massive tidy up. Oh well at least the house is looking ship shape for Saturdays Birthday Party, just got to get cracking on the Pass the Parcel wrapping tomorrow!

I have loads of Art by Miran images coloured up, due to using them as practice for the Skin & Hair classes over at Kit & Clowder (they all have fabulous hair – which is what I need to practice most), but none of them have actually made it onto a card…until now. This card uses Lovely Irene:

I have tried to keep the layout nice and simple with minimal embellishments as the image is so  beautiful. Here is a close up, although don’t look at her arms…the shading is awful. I blame my E11 Copic as it was in need of both cleaning and refilling!

I would love to be on the Art by Miran team as I love the images, I’m a sucker for anything cute, especially in the Big Eye Anime style, and these images  fit the bill. Also I love love love to colour (am currently improving my skills in the classes over at Kit & Clowder) and these images are perfect and there are so many to choose from I could lose a whole weekend colouring! 

Currently I am lucky enough to design for a UK papercraft magazine (Papercraft Essentials) and the following teams: Pink Gem Designs, Little Claire (Digi Stamp Team) and Whiff of Joy (Digi Stamp Team)

Supplies:

• Image: Lovely Irene from Art by Miran
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: First Edition Spring Bloom 6x6 Pad
• Card: Black card, Neenah Solar White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Stamps: Kraftin Kimmie ‘Make a Wish’ Stamp Set
• Dies & Punches: Go Kreate Oval Dies and an EK Border Punch
• Embellishments: Flat back pearls

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
