Skateboarder boy card

Hi and thanks for coming to see my card today.

I thought it was time I made another boy card as I'm a bit slack with making cards for boys, I love girly things (so I have a girly card to upload straight after this if I get time lol). I coloured these guys with copics and inked the background with a homemade cloud template for the sky. I made one of the boys smaller and flipped him so he looks like he's in the background, hopefully he doesn't just look like a smaller version of the large boy lol.

This gorgeous boy digi is from Jellypark Friends and the profits for this particular stamp go to charity which is wonderful.





I created this card with the following challenges in mind:

Guest designer for Jellypark Friends - Pink card

Hi there,

I am a guest designer at Jellypark Friends (http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/) this week, they have such cute stamps! I have made this card using their gorgeous digi stamp Princess for the day (http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1629126-084-princess-for-the-day-digital-stamp.html). I paper pieced her - printed the little girl twice so I could fussy cut her hair/crown and dress from one print-out and add it to the other so she looked more 3D-like.

Crafts and Me Autumn card

Already made one card since the kidlets have been away (not good since they left over 8 hours ago!) I decided to do some housework first, I'm having a hard time getting my head around the fact the house will stay that way for a few days, that's exciting!! lol

The gorgeous digi stamp is from Crafts and Me (Hannah Lynn), see below for their blog link. I love colouring her hair, I have used copic markers but left it a bit scruffier than I usually do, I love to try new ways after being inspired by other cardmakers. I used a circle and scallop circle punch to make this card, it's a very cheap way to make a card, hope you like it.

FWAB used:
Pearls and rhinestones

Layout - Life is...

Good morning,

Today I have mixed it up a bit with a layout instead of a card. This is my gorgeous son who is addicted to footy - rain, hail or shine he's outside kicking the ball around!

It's school holidays here in Australia and my children have gone away for a holiday with my mum this week so I will be in top cardmaking form for sure lol!! Wonder how many posts I'll be adding this week???

FWAB used:
Lee's tree & grass set
Trent's fence
For more info and stockists please visit www.flourishwithabling.com.au

I am entering the layout into the following challenges, feel free to join in these ones with cards or layouts:
