Challenges, challenges...

Well the challenge bug must have hit me again as I've been making lots of cards to enter in challenges! YAY! Today I have some cards I made for Anyone for Anya and Anya Ink.

My first card uses Amelia - from the Greeting Farm isn't she so sweet!! Thanks to my bloggy friends who stamped her up for me! the first background is left over photo paper that I airbrushed for my Oh, Alice card last week! I also coloured the flowers with my Copics so they would match the colouring on Amelia.


Now..on to the Challenge + info... Anyone for Anya are BE DAZZLED and so want us to use sparkles on a project! Oh, OK! If I must then.. lol! I have used lots of Spica glitter pen on my image.. I even outlined her in baby blue Spica - although it's not showing up well in the photo BUT I also added bling dots and silver brads (they sparkle too)! The main background has silver sparkly threads through it (but once again the photo does not do it justice)! check out Anyone for Anya for some gorgeous DT inspiration!
Copics used to colour: face: E000,E00,E11, R20, hair: E30, 31,33, yellow: Y11, Y15, blue, B00, 02, 05, Spicas - baby blue, clear, lilac, buttermilk.

The second card uses another TFG image also stamped for my by a lovely bloggy friend!

I coloured her in red, white and green for a Christmassy look as Anya Ink are celebrating Christmas in July for their current challenge! :D There are some very lovely DT creations on the Anya Ink blog and a wonderful prize sponsored by Bizzy Becs - so pop on over and join in the fun!! Copic colours used: C1, C3, E31,33, 35, R32,35,37, E000,E00, E11, YG63, YG67

A sweet as sugar 30th card for a busy weekend

Well I'm home again after a looong weekend in Adelaide!! :D
I went for my friend's 30th and here is the card that I made for her... it was from a few of us... when I lived in residential college 12 years ago (oh -feeling old) there were three other girls that I became great friends with. They are still counted as my closest friends now... and as we all live in separate states it's not often that we get together so it's special when we do.... Anyway .. I wanted to have 4 girls on the card... so I used some Miss Anya's that were stamped up for me by Em and Debbie! Thanks girls :D


I am entering this card into the Anyone for Anya challenge... which is Sweet as Sugar - they want cards to be pretty and girly... I think this is pretty and girly - Don't you???

Here's a pic of the four of us at the party... as you can tell I had a haircut over the weekend too!

Well I was up at 4.30am to go catch the plane home so I'm feeling pretty dopey and waffling more than normal I think - have to keep going back and deleting bits... haha!! Was very thankful to C who woke up and drove me to the airport this morning and then also for Guy who picked me up - which meant he was late for work... but I was glad to see him.

anyway, my Spring kit from Magnolia has arrived! YAY! so I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of that on here soon and I'll be back later with an Artful INKables card AND tomorrow is the Artful INKables blog hop so make sure you join in!!

am still catching up on emails and blog reading/ visiting! Will talk soon! Thanks for stopping by,

Joyce blings it on with a K.I.S.S

I am entering this card in three challenges today....

they are:
1. The Greeting Farm's - Farm Fresh Friday -
K.I.S.S. technique: KEEP IT SIMPLY SHAPED.

2. Digital Tuesday's "Make a BIRTHDAY something"

3. Anyone for Anya's "Bling it on"

I used a preprinted card base for this card.... I have bought a box of these from DCWV so that I can make a pile of cards to give to friends and family! This one will be in the pile!
I used Joyce - a digi image I purchased from The Greeting Farm (oh yes, you've probably realised that they are my favourite stamp company right now .... the images are just sooo lovely to colour!) She is coloured with Copics (what else? lol)!

I added - some red rhinestone bling and an extra spot of bling on the bloom...
- and a handwritten "happy birthday" sentiment!!

Thanks for stopping by... Pretty busy time right now isn't it - I need to pop up to the post office, wrap some presents, buy some more presents, do some washing, clean up the unit so that the air conditioner installers can get around tomorrow (yay - air con coming in our bedroom!!), wash up, make tons of cards, visit my bloggy friends, and.... I'm not sure what else right now!
