A sad day

I woke up this morning, like many others, to the sad news that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson had died. I couldn't quite believe it, I thought I was dreaming. I was shocked and saddened.

I have fond memories of listening to his music as a child along with my nextdoor neighbour.

The music world has lost an icon, a legend, a superstar.

He may be gone but his music will live on forever.

RIP Michael

One more

I made this card a while ago for one the challenge blogs. I can't remember which one exactly but I think it may have been Friday Sketchers. I love the end result. The image was coloured in using my watercolour pencils. It looks fab in real life.

Supplies:

Image - Gorjuss Girl by Sugar Nellie

Sentiment - Penny Black

Paper - Basic Grey

Tools - Nesties and Cuttlebug

Other - Flowers and brads from stash

Just because

The elements for this card had been on my desk for ages so I thought it was about time that I put a card together. I love the colour combo black, white and pink. I wanted to use more pink but couldn't find the right papers. I used prismas to colour her in.

Supplies:

Sentiment - Penny Black

Paper - Papermania

Tools - Fiskars punch, Nesties and Cuttlebug

Sketch Saturday #56

My entry for Sketch Saturday. I love this card. I don't usually use a lot of yellow. But this looks great. Again used promarkers to colour in. I also used my new fave papers from K&Co. I got this stamp a few days ago. It's so easy to colour in. I think I may have to invest in a few more even though I should now be saving to pay for my holiday!

Supplies:

Image - Anya by The Greeting Farm

Sentiment - Stampin' Up

Paper - K&Co - Wild Raspberry

Tools - Punches by Stampin' Up, Nesties and Cuttlebug

Other - Flowers, brads and pearls from stash

Medium - Promarkers

Friday Sketchers #57

My entry for Friday Sketchers. A very lovely simple sketch. I like simple! Again image coloured using promarkers as I have a little stock pile now from when I have been practising. No mishaps and they all look pretty well coloured in so I might as well use them up! I love this little Tilda stamp.

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Sentiment - Stampin' Up

Paper - Bo Bunny

Tools - Punches from Stampin' Up

Other - Flowers, pearls and brads from stash

Here is the card I made my dad for Father's Day. It was done very quickly, sorry dad. I actually like it. Simple. I did decorate (very simply) the inside but didn't take a photo sorry. Image coloured using promarkers again. I think I need a few more colours to add to my collection such as the greys.

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Sentiment - Papermania

Paper - My Mind's Eye

Tools - Nesties and Cuttlebug

Other - Buttons and ribbon from stash

A Spoon Full of Sugar #56

Here is my entry of A Spoon Full of Sugar. A fantastic sketch by Michelle. I flipped it around, just because I felt like being different. I've actually been quite productive today making a total of four cards, this one included. I haven't made any cards for so long so this weekend has been really enjoyable, getting back into the swing of it. You'll be seeing the rest over the next few days.

I coloured Miss Anya in using promarkers. I bought a whole bunch more last week and have been practising with them. I actually quite like them now. They still bleed slightly. Practise makes perfect!

Supplies:

Sentiment - Penny Black

Paper - K&Co - Wild Raspberry

Tools - Nesties and Cuttlebug

Other Stash - Pearls, netting, flowers and brad all from stash

Also something quite exciting, yesterday I booked (well my friend booked) a holiday for us both. So on the 6th September 2010 I'm off to Orlando for two weeks of disney fun. I am so excited and have been wanting to go back since we went last year. We are also stopping at a disney hotel which is even more exciting! I just wish it was closer and not over a year away. At least I have something to look forward to! I just have to save up to pay for it now. I need a little counter somewhere on here to count down those days.
