Thanks a Bunch (Girl & Teddy bear)

I created this card for Kards for Kids, HSC. It uses a gorgeous image by Sassy Cheryl. I coloured it with Copics and added a typed sentiment banner. I'm pleased with how this turned out...fairly quick and simple and I will be duplicating it a few more times for Kards for Kids. I had to adhere the image off-centre because I used some CTMH patterned paper and the CTMH name was in the corner (ughhh...one of my pet peeves about that paper!) I'm entering it in two challenges 1.

Thinking of You (Cat) Card...

Here's a little card I created using a lovely Meljen's Designs Image. I coloured it with copics, and mounted it on a dark grey piece of cardstock which I embossed with swirls. A strip of ribbon finishes it of. I think it's a nice CAS card and would be good for a Pet Sympathy card, or just a plain old Thinking of You card.

I'm entering it in this weeks Challenge at Meljen's Designs - #173 - You've been Framed (I hope the window frame counts!)

Wishing you weren't so far away...

This is a cute little card I created to send to a friend who lives far away from me (can't say right now who it is as she comes to my blog occasionally) It uses a great Anne of Green Gables Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and I coloured it with copics. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. This card just so happens to fit into the Brown Sugar Challenge - Blue/Green/White

Black and White Happy Birthday

Soooo this card was created for the Sassy Cheryl Challenge - #179 - Black and White Photo theme...WOW...was this challenge hard for me...because I only have two grey-ish Copics (and one died when I was using it on this card...so it's kinda SMEARY-BLENDING - ughhhh !! Anyhow...I managed to make it work by mounting it on a dark grey cardstock, then white, then a dark grey card base, with black and white ribbon added too !! I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting with a typewriter-like stamp from Stampin' Up ! Overall I'm glad it looks "okay" and that I'm done with this challenge (LOL) Sorry Cheryl...I do love your challenges but struggled with this one !!

Booksmarks for Kards for Kids, HSC

Here's a couple of photos of bookmarks I created for Kards for Kids, HSC. They are to go in the treasure box, which kids get to choose from after they have endured treatments. I made the bookmark using a JellyPark Digital Image and printed the image and "My Super Bookmark" in word using a 5-coloumn landscape document. I then cut them out, rounded the corners and there you are 5 bookmarks per page (x 2 pages) for the kids. I'm adding a couple of crayons I had left over some birthday cards I created last year so they can colour the Super Hero !! I hope the kids like them.
