Princess Tilda

A card just for fun!!! What a novel idea!!!!! I had so much fun using the items in this card kit, that I got from a swap last month!!! I coloured Tilda with Copics and added some Primas, pearls and some MS branches. The scallop border was part of the kit, and I totally love it so now I have to go "find" that punch!!! You can buy this Princess Tilda at Simon Says Stamp, as well as the Primas, pearls and branch punch. AND they have a huge new supply of Copic markers and refills......yahoooo!!! Go check it out!!!!

Have a GREAT Saturday everyone!!!! I am hosting my niece's bridal shower tonight, so have lots of work to do from now till then!!!!

Mr. Fix it Car

I used my Diamond Plate CB folder for the background of this card for my Dad for Father's Day (he was a mechanic!) I coloured the Karen's Doodles image - called Mr. Fix it Car - with Copics. I attached some "screw" brads and a sentiment from a Clear Dollar Stamps set I've had for a couple years! There is crystal lacquer on the windows and headlights of the car & I used my Sakura Gelly roll stardust pen on all the tools. When I showed Tim, he said, "That looks like a Volkswagon - and the engines are in the back" - LOL - Only a MAN would say something like that!!!!!!

ALMOST done Report Cards!! PHEWWWWWWWWW Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Designed2Delight challenge.....

Another great image from Faith over at Designed2Delight Digital images!! This mouse is sooo cute!!!

I kept the layout simple so I could show off this shiny blue paper, but it is hard to see in the picture!! It is from Paper Pizzazz and it is soo cool!!! The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamps sentiment set called Sending Sunshine.

Hope you have a great day!
