The Pink Elephant & WOYWW

Morning everyone. Hope we are all well. I have a house full of sick kids. My gosh I can't wait until they are all better. I really don't like cleaning up the poos and spews and it just keeps coming. Ahhhhhh....!!! It is doing my head in.

Anyway - thought I would do a What's on your workdesk Wednesday post. Not very exciting as always - I actually cleaned up my table somewhat yesterday so it was messy yesterday, maybe I should have done the photo then LOL. Here it is.

Thought I would make a card with the Oh Boy, Ian stamp I got from TGF for the Card for a Stamp Swap. He is so darling. Great to colour. I always struggle with boy cards but think I just need to more of them. The Pink Elephant are showcasing cards made with ribbon so thought I would whack one together as well.

Anything goes with Tilda

Good morning everyone. It is Thursday so it is my Mad for Markers post day. I must admit I did colour up this stamp a few weeks back waiting for this challenge but only just used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers to create the card. It took me a while to find the DP to go with the colours on this. Unfortunately the bluey-grey of these BV markers do not match a lot but I found the perfect one from Kaisercraft.

I have used the 352gsm card with this card and OMG I am so in love with this card. If you haven't already preordered your card you 'need' to do it now. It is perfect card to use Copics with - it really does blend better than the thinner card. If you use Papertrey ink card than you will love this (hint hint Alleena). LOL.

Anyway a list of colours are at the bottom.

Markers used:

Skin: E000, 00, 21, 02

Hair: YR20, 21, E08

Dress/shoes: BV20, 23, 25, 29, R12, 14, 17

Shading: B0000, B000; G1, blender

Products used: Magnolia stamp; Kaisercraft DP; SU card; SU flowers; beads; thread; AC ribbon; Ezybow

MDUC #76

Good morning everyone. Wow what a silly season it is indeed. I just can't get over how many people are at the shops on the weekend. It is so crazy. If they were smart like me they would have got their Christmas shopping done ages ago - but alas they aren't and are leaving to the last minute. I can't even go to the shops and buy something that is not for Xmas. Crazy I tell ya.

Anyway enough of my ramble. I have finally made a card for Magnolia Down Under Challenge. It has been nearly a year since I left and haven't entered a challenge :( My Magnolia's just weren't appealing to me for a while there but last night I decided I needed to use one of my new Christmas stamps for the new colour Challenge at MDUC. The colour challenge is to use: Red, Brown and Cream on your card. So here is my take on the challenge.

Enjoy your day.

All I can say is that is has been a busy busy week for me and isn't going to get much better next week with my little girl's 3rd birthday next friday. Although we aren't having a party we are still having a cake etc for my little girl. Can't wait. Her favourite thing in the world at the moment is Tinkerbell so a Tink card is in the making.

Today I have a card for you made with the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and this gorgeous fairy stamp by Deb's Creations. Meet Ebony. Ain't she the cutest. You should see the rest of The Emerald Faeries. They are adorable.

I decided I have to use my Cosmo Cricket DP - Pixilious. OK enough babbling. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

-------------------------------------------------------

Now I absolutely love Christmas as I get to spend time with my family who live so far away. I wish they were all so much closer but not to be. My IL's on the other hand pretty much live just around the corner (so to speak) and we see very little of them. Wish they wanted to spend more time with the kids mostly but hey they are divorced and my FIL remarried. Anyway. My whinge.

Christmas presents all purchased and I am not going to the shops for the rest of the month. OMG how crazy is it. Impossible to get a park and people everywhere. Like how much shopping can you possibly do. Like it is always packed - there are not that many people in this area. I don't get it. I am in and out with what I went in to get and don't go back again. Oh well. The kids will be super happy with their presents at least. LOL.

Alternative Christmas card

Today I am here bringing you

a very alternative Christmas card indeed. Today is

my Mad for Markers day.

Now some of you know that I am an 'artist' - I do drawings

like the one on front of the card below. Up until I had kids I would

do one of these drawings for my MIL for her birthday/Christmas

but didn't have time after the kids came along.

Of course at that stage I didn't have Copic markers either.

If you check out the pic at the bottom with one of the drawings

using textas. Eeeeekkk...!!! Thank

heavens for Copic markers. So here is the Christmas card

using non traditional season colours. This was done on the

Neenah 352gsm card.

Copics used:

Black Multiliner 0.5mm, BV29, BV25, BV23, BV20.

Enjoy your day.
