Mad For Markers ~ DT ~ Brown Hair Colour

Hi Blogging Beauties,

 So over at Mad for Markers this fortnight the challenge is colouring brown hair.  Brown copics are actually my favourite to colour hair with.  I was asked to make a card for a friend of my sisters and she wanted to include her three kiddies on the front.  I was so happy when I double checked and found out they all had brown hair! I knew I could then use this card for the current challenge.  Now the prize is a couple of brown Copic Markers.  So you should definitely enter!!! 

Head on over here to link up your card.

I appologise for the night-time pics, but the day has got away from me a little today.

The Copics I used are:

Hair: E47, E37, E35, E33, E31

Skin: E00, E21, R20

Blues: B97, B32, B95, B00, BG05, B05

Pinks: RV06, RV04, RV42

Yellows: Y15, Y08, Y02

Greens: G99, YG95, G85

Outline: C-1

Lots of colours on this card!

Here is a pic of the inside...

Off to work for me tomorrow for a couple of days.

I hope you had a lovely day today!

By the way...

Goodmorning Blogging Beauties,

Over at Mad for Marker's challenges have now changed to fortnightly.

This week's challenge is to colour with greys.

I havent got a grey card to show you yet...cant wait to make one though...but today I have a Magnolia card I made as a special order for one of the TAFE ladies.

This has got to be one of my most fave Maggies ever and I have been using her a lot lately.

I used Copics to colour her up and these are the colours:

Skin: E00, E21, R20

Hair: E47, E57, E33, E31

Blues: BG01, BG00

Purples: V15, V17, BV08

Outline: C-1 (One grey in there!!)

The lady I made it for really liked it so that is good!!

I have finished my housework this morning and am off to town to do jobs.

Dropping in here and there, buying mother's day presents, visiting my Grandparents, picking up some vitamins.

I have so many cards that need to be made...lots of special orders to make.

I have downloaded more scrapbooking kits and am itching to have a play with them.  But three days works starting tomorrow...have to make some real money!!  Pay for all those mini holidays I keep booking on Wotif!!  Does anyone else get those emails about the 6 hour deals??  They are soooo tempting.  And such good value!!! If you dont, you should sign up to their emails...it is a great motivation to get away for a few days.

Well, enough of me rambling...better get on with those jobs! Thanks for stopping by.  have a great day : )

Cute Little Goat Card

Hi Blogging Beauties,


Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  I have been super busy with card-making...in preparation for Mother's Day next weekend.  The cards have been selling like hotcakes at Aussie Cards for Sale...and I have been making, making and making. 


This card I made this morning for my sister.  Her daughter was going to a b'day party today.  It was for a little boy who lives down the road and he lives on a farm where we got our goat Millie from.  I printed off a goat colouring in page from the internet and pasted him on top of  CC Designs fence that was already coloured from ages ago.  Hope he liked it!


I can feel the scrapbooking bug coming over me again.  I am such a wannabe scrapbooker...that   doesn't get there very often...and the LOs I make I often hate...however I am very persistent and determined not to give up!!  I think what I struggle with the most is the unfinished nature of a scrapbook album.  With a card it is created and you give it away...done! With a scrapbook album I tend to start and stop and never get back to the completed album.  Well maybe this time I will!!


Stay tuned.  I am hoping to show you some LOs soon!  Thank you so much for reading my ramblings and a big cheery welcome to my new followers.

Mad For Markers ~ DT ~ YR, RV, BG Colour Challenge and Candy!!

Hello Blogging beauties,

Its is my turn to share a card for the current Copic Colour Challenge at Mad for Markers.

This card I was asked to make for a little girl who lives on the Gold Coast.  She is turning five and loves beachy things...so I used my Magnolia Mermaid.  This is my first time at ever colouring this image...even though I have had it for ages and ages!  I added heaps of glitter because little girls like glitter! Here is a picture taken in the sun to try and show you all the glitter.

I used the following Copic makers:

Skin: E21, E00, R20

Hair: YR20, YR61, YR23, YR68, YR16

Pinks: RV06, RV04, RV02

Blues: BG23, BG10, BG000
