I think i might have mentioned that DH bought me a new camera a couple of weeks ago. I really am so spoilt! Last night was the third night of my 6 week photography course, and i am learning heaps. I tried to put some of what i have learnt into practice, and little Daisy was very obliging, posing happily, although not to happy to sit ON the ivy, as requested. Got lots of nice shots of her, but i really like this one.
Maybe i should go scrap it now......

I just loved my last boy card so much that i had to do another.
This time i played with texture on his jeans, which i think looks kinda cool.
Used some VERY old ribbon and braid from my stash too, and pulled out the sewing machine in my newly tidied scrap room. I'm going to leave the machine set up so that i am more inclined to add a little stitching to everything.
Anyway, heres my card. I entered it in a sketch challenge at The Greeting Farm.

Yesterday i attended the Copic Project class in Melbourne, taught by the lovely Mandi Klinger. It was just for retailers to get ideas for copic projects/classes. We used some cute new stamps from a company called LALA LAND crafts, and this little tag has a pocket behind the colored image, and the purple tag pulls out from the pocket.
Short post today. One of my girlies unwell.

Well, a boy card, anyway. It's very exciting, because i just don't usually do boy cards. Having 4 girls, there's really not much need. But i colored in this cute little Greeting Farm boy at the Copic Demo, and then couldn't wait to use the new My Minds Eye papers to make him into a card. I kinda like him.
Hope you like him too.
Off to play with my 12 new Sketch colors, which just arrived as i was leaving work today. Yay!

Well, i did have time to play and here is the result....
I even made her into a card using the new Sassafrass papers and prima embellies. Initially i thought her hair was going to look terrible, but in the end i am really happy with it. Sorry the photo is a bit dark, it makes the detail of the hair a little difficult to see. The wind kept blowing the card off my fence into the garden and then my memory card was full, so it will have to do. So, if you like her hair, you should look at buttercups blog. It is in my side bar under Blogs i like, and she tells you which colours to use to achieve this effect. Thanks Buttercup.

I'm always looking for new ways to colour hair, and i've just discovered one! The hair colour is a deep, dark, reddish brown, and i found it on a great blog which i will share with my finished product. Off to try it now....wish me luck.

Saturdays COPIC demo day at the imagination factory went well. Best of all, i got to color ALL day. YAY! one of my most favorite things to do at the moment. Lots of lovely ladies called in. I hope i was able to teach them something they didn't know about copic markers.
I colored most of this little magnolia girl with the butterflies at the demo. Rather than waste her, i finished off the coloring and made her into a birthday card for a little girl. Unfortunately, i put quite a few marks around her with my dirty fingers whilst i was coloring, hence i had to cut her out, which i don't really like the look of. Oh, well. Here she is anyway.
