Coloring with Copics

Yeah for the Saints!

My son had a volleyball tournament this past weekend and I had a little down time between his matches. (They lost most of their games but played well)

I had stamped a bunch of little girls to practice coloring with my copics. When I was finished with the coloring I decided to create cards from the girls that I thought turned out enough to put on a card. :)
Here is my series of girl cards. I am going to send them off to the Cards for Kids Drive that Jennifer McGuire is hosting. (Except the first one as my DD saw the little girl before I placed her on a card and asked to have her. I made the first card for Tanya.

I was struggling to do something different and had an idea to put her on a swing.I made one blond girl and probably could have done a little more blending on her hair.

Last but not least a sponged background to blend the purple and yellow combo.


Hope you enjoyed my ensemble of girls. The stamps are all Hero Arts and the little girl is from the Hero Arts Sparkle Design You're the Best. The pattern paper is Basic Grey and the cardstock Bazzill.
Have a lovely Monday!

Sending some Sunshine your Way

This is another card for the Cards for Kids Drive that Jennifer McGuire is hosting.


I have three adorable punches from EK Success (frog, crab, and starfish). They were the inspiration to start a little beach party.

The crabs are created using red pattern paper that I received from Sanne (thanks Sanne).


I also used this fantastic Cosmo Cricket paper that I think looks like waves for my ocean. After I had my ocean and my fun crabs I knew they needed to have a beach party, so I made them a beach ball to play with and a little sunshine.

After I had done all that I realized there was no stamping and I couldn't let that happen so I created the sky using the friends definition stamp.


The inside of the card has the sentiment "Sending you Sunshine and Laughter".


I hope you are having a sunny day!

Cards for Kids Drive

Jennifer McGuire is hosting an on-going card drive for kids who are ill and for their families too. I usually dont' have too many kids cards on hand, so I decided to create a few to send off to the card drive.

I told my daughter I wanted to do a knock knock card with a frog and she came up with the knock knock joke and wrote it down for me.

The papers are Cosmo Cricket and all the stamps are Hero Arts.


I had to switch to orange frogs as I ran out of the green pp. :)

Hope you are having a lovely day... I think I can start sharing some of the new Memory Box images and I have some other fun news I can share next week.
