Mans Birthday card.

I was asked to make a birthday card for a man but the customer wanted the date of birth & the date of the birthday on it but I didn't really like the idea as it reminded me of a tombstone!!

So I looked up news paper archives & was lucky enough to find a news paper for the date of the birthday!

I cut the 50 using my eCraft.

Mami Doodles Challenge 38

This week over at Mami Doodles the challenge is Fairytales are Real & Manuela set the challenge. The DT were all very inspired by the challenge but it is very interesting to see how we were all inspired in very different ways.

To take part in the challenge all you need to do is make a project & follow the theme of Fairytales are real, this is an easy enough theme to follow as there are so many things that can be used for fairytales!! If you use a Mami Doodles image (including freebies) you will be entered twice! The prize for this challenge is the last 3 images released (Under the Mistletoe, Tropical Santa & Holly) plus one of your choice. Pop over to the Mami Doodles blog to see the other DT entries for some inspiration!

I decided to do a LO for this challenge & used the Girly Girl image who was coloured with ProMarkers & FlexMarkers!

Ouch LO

A few years ago my son fell while out in his nanna's & his uncle Gary notified everyone when he start screaming that Ryan had broken his arm. I ran to check what was up but am ashamed to say I ran screaming as soon as I seen his arm which looked very much like a s shape. Only my MIL's boyfriend was there my poor boy would have been left standing there. He was so brave & calmed down way faster than I did.

I thought this photo deserved to be made into a LO

I used Glimmer Dust to add some sparkly snow & a tartan bow to finish.

I just love this image called "The Storyteller" I think it is so sweet.

Raw Sienna, Mustard & Buttercup

Burnt Sienna, Caramel & Sandstone

Forest Green, Lime Green & Lime Zest.

I gave her red gem holly berries (for a bit of sparkle) &

used glossy accents on the holly leaves.

Published yet again!!

I submitted a card & a LO to Crafting Ireland to be published in issue 5 & Yay... My card was published. I am delighted, it really does feel great to see your work in a magazine.

Here is the card I submitted.

I used one of Elisa's newest images, I have a thing for snowmen so fell in love with this image as soon as I seen it & couldn't wait to use it!

I also submitted this LO & although it wasn't published I am still happy with it, I am betting that as each issue of Crafting Ireland comes there are going to be so many submissions but at least it gives me the nudge I need to start doing more scrapbooking!!!
