Another Bright & Blinding Card

O.K, so I couldn't help myself, I had to make another Some Odd Girl card, I had such fun with my previous one! Added to that they are having a great sale on at the moment, so I bought 2 more digis. They are each 25% off, so it works out to be about R15.00 an image, quite a bargain I think!! Check out the sale HERE.

I used the adorable Summer Mae for this card, isn't she super trendy?!?




The products I used on my card are:
~Patterned Paper and Journaling Block - My Project Life 2011 kit
~Spellbinders die
~Flower/Sun - Making Memories
~Sentiment by AnnaBelle Stamps
~Copics!!!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Some Odd Girl - Bright and Blinding
wee Memories - Summertime
Wags 'n Whiskers - Summertime Creations
Moving along with the Times - Here comes the Summer Sun

Thanks for stopping by again today, I will be back later with the latest Let's Scrap sketch and layout :)

I am entering this card for the latest Some Odd Girl challenge which is BRIGHT AND BLINDING, I think my card qualifies, LOL!!




This image is called "Flower Kaylee", isn't she too cute for words!!

I used a whole BUNCH of different Copic colours on this card, if anyone is interested I can let you know which colours. The patterned paper is by Basic Grey, and the sentiment by AnnaBelle Stamps.

Thanks for dropping by my blog today. I really enjoyed making this card this morning, it really warmed me up, cause it's Winter here in South Africa, and it's flippin' freezing today!!!

Loads of Challenges

Hello. Wow, it was nice to do a bit of crafting yesterday, I really needed it, as I find my crafting very therapeutic. It allows me to "escape", and that is exactly what I needed after the last week. Thanks so much for the messages of support I received on my last post, it means so much to me!!! The family is holding up, and getting a little stronger each day. From tomorrow we will have to start trying to get back into routine and start getting used to life without Anne. It was wonderful to have my Mom here this week to help me get through this time and be here for the kids. Thanks so much for being there for me Mom, I LOVE you with all my heart!!

So onto my card. I have entered it into a number of challenges which I will list below. I so enjoyed colouring this image, and I got to play with some of my new Copics which I got from Paola. She gives great service, so for anyone in SA who is looking to start buying some Copics, contact her and she will be able to help you out!! This image was stamped for me by another dear friend Sharon, thanks so much Sharon, I am making good use of the images you stamped for me!!

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes + Lace
Cute Card Thursday - Embellish it (I used Glossy Accents)
Colour Create Challenge - Purple, Blue & Silver
