card for niece using copics











Posted by Picasa

Made this card for my niece whose birthday is on Thursday - used my copics - the few that I have at the moment!! the card is a lovely very small tartany purply colour with a matching vellum over the top finished of with a few embellies and an organza ribbon.

Im exhausted!

Just about finished the place names now just got some gems to stick on for that blingy effect! Ive still got loads of cards to make plus some images to stamp for folk plus I need to finish niece's scrapbook for her birthday on Thursday!!! Then, last night my lovely son rang to say can we feed him his GF and her 2 kiddies Sunday dinner today??? arrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh nothing like short notice...lol but so happy he is coming.   Ive also been doing slideshows, leaving comments and trying to organise things and Shell's and my challenge blog   that in itself feels like a full time job but I love it and am meeting some very lovely people along the way. So now...brekkie, blinging, tidy up and organise dinner then I can concentrate on my cards and stuff Im afraid they might just be sticking things on a piece of card type cards..LOL  hey ho that'll teach me for procrastinating.  Hope your Sundays are special XX

The book in me...

they say we all have a book inside us so I have decided to try and write one! I have the title sorted out.."Living with M.E.N. - what's your type"Quite catchy huh? For those of you who dont know me, I have an incurable disease (my doctors words...definately not mine) which is known as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, I am type 1. So far I think I have been lucky, only had to have my parathyroid glands removed, although "multiple" tumours have been found on and in my pancreas so watching and waiting to see what, if anything happens. My son who has not been lucky has had half of his pancreas removed as a result (and boy do I feel guilty...most folk give their kids a car, I give mine a syndrome!)

Anyway, as its a very rare syndrome, bit like rocking horse poo, I decided that I would try and write an informative, yet slightly tongue in cheek about it. Im posting this here as I think Id like a bit of encouragement...and where else could I get it??

Ill keep you informed X

My first attempt with copics!



Im quite pleased with it although it does like shes been sweating heavily under the arms...lol I guess I should have written down the colours I used for future reference. Now I just have to do something with it!

I definately NEED more colours so have my wish list ready. The image is from a download from charmed cards and craft Girls About Town. I love digi images can you can resize, flip and merge onto different backgrounds etc very versatile and so GREEN

I would really like your feedback on this good or bad. I need to boost my confidence levels A LOT


Thanks for looking!
