This was the card I came up with...

Mad for Markers DT ~ Crazy Hair Combo

Hi Blogging Beauties,

I have a new card for the Crazy Hair Challenge at Mad for Markers.  This has to be my most favourite M4M Challenge yet!  I have gone with another Kenny K image (hope you arent sick of me colouring them yet!) and I chose the colours brown and green to base my card and image on.

I made a Tri-Shutter card.  To do this take a 6x12 inch piece of card stock.  Score it at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches.  Then cut between the 2 and 10 inch score lines at 2 inches and 4 inches.

I used the following Copics to colour my image:

Greens: G14, YG06, YG23, YG11

Browns: E47, E37, E35, E31

Reds: R59, R27, RV34

Greys: C-1, C-3, C-5

Skin: E21, E00, R20

Why not join in the fun with our Crazy Hair Challenge at Mad for Markers!

Its a great excuse to colour hair in some crazy ways!

Before I go I would like to enter two challenges:

Lollipop Crafts - Use your Favourite Colouring Medium (Copics)

Our Creative Corner - Cut it Out

I am off to try and catch up on everything else I had planned for today!

Thanks for popping over,

Baby Shower Card

  Hi Blogging Beauties,

Life has been busy this week.

I worked Tuesday on Grade 6, Wednesday on Grade 3 and Thursday and Friday on Grade 5.

Friday night my sister-in-law moved into their newly bought house and we went to visit and lend a hand (don't know if we were much help really).  Then Saturday I took some cards to the markets.

Unfortunately the markets were a little quiet, but I still managed to sell 12 cards so it wasn't a wasted day.  It was the first time I went to these particular markets, so it does take awhile for people to know what you are selling and think of you when they need a card.

This is the third Baby Shower card I have made this month.  There seems to be a lot of babies being born this year.  The request was bright colours, animals and polka-dots.  I think I managed to tick all of those boxes.

I used Kaisercraft Fun Fair papers. I cut all the animals out of the paper and arranged them onto the card.

I decorated the inside of the card to match.

I would like to enter two challenges:

Stamping Vacation - No Flowers

Cup Cake Craft Challenges - Seeing Red

Before I go, I thought I would share a picture of this little frog.

Our bathroom keeps attracting lots of frogs.  We arent sure where they get in.  But the other night this little green tree frog wanted to take a shower with me.  I wasn't too keen, so Ben took him outside.  I just love this photo though...his lovely green skin and his cool eyes.

Have a great Sunday and tanks for stopping by,

Southern Girls DT ~ Colour Challenge Blue and Chocolate

Goodmorning Blogging Beauties,

It is a Southern Girls Challenge day today!

This fortnight we have a colour inspiration and it is Blue and Chocolate.

As always you are playing for some great prizes!!!

For our International winner we are sponsored by Meljens Digi Images.

For our NZ/Australian winner we are sponsored by Scrapbox and Joanna Sheen.

 I used a SU rubber stamp as my main image on this card and all SU card stock in colours Chocolate Chip, Brocade Blue and Creamy Caramel.  It has been awhile since I have used these colours together.  Under the image I layered lots of Prima flowers and glued them all in place.  I added some ribbons, a button and a punched out butterfly.  Then added some Kindy Glitz which is still wet in the photo.  This card is for an ex-student of mine who is also a very dear friend.

I am off to a Year five class today and tomorrow and then the markets on Saturday.  This is shaping up to be a very busy week indeed!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Hi Blogging Beauties,

A super quickie tonight...still playing catch up without much success unfortunately.

Just wanted to pop in and let you know that Aussie Cards for Sale is featured on Jill's Blog Creating my Way to Success.  Jill is interviewing different people each Wednesday for her blog and this week she picked me!  If you feel like a read, make a cuppa and head on over.  Jill's blog is full of amazing creations!!

Hopefully I will be more caught up with things tomorrow...wish me luck : )

Mad For Markers - DT - Crazy Hair

Hi Blogging Beauties,

I got called in to work today (and probably for the rest of the week) so after about 10 weeks of holidays it is a bit of a shock to the system! I wasn't expecting any work until next week...otherwise I would have been smart enough to get ahead with some of my DT work...nevermind...my house is sparkling at least!

Here is my DT card for Mad for Markers.  The current challenge is Crazy Hair.  I think this is an awesome challenge - so much fun to colour!!  I chose blue and green to play with today and coloured in this Kenny K image.  I have seen her around and loved her...but this is my first go at colouring her in.

I kept the card very plain and simple...you can decide for yourself if you like it...or is it too simple?? Ben is a big fan of clean and simple so he loves it...me on the other hand...I wonder if it is missing something??  Oh well, not enough time to play and see.  I have to appologise for the not-so-good night-time photos...but there has been a lot going on today and this is as good as I can manage tonight.

She was coloured with:

Skin: E21, E00, R20

Blues: B05. BG05. BG01. BG10

White: C-1

Greens: YG06, YG41, BG23, G02

Lips: R59, R27, R85

I added heaps of glitter...wanted her to be shiny and glittery, plus it helped distinguish the colours..hair from dress etc.  I love her pretty eyes!

Well I'm off to bed...its extremely late and I probably have a big day ahead of me tomorrow.

Will catch up on comments hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for dropping in to see me and take care.
