Fab at 40!

Hello all!
Friday again and time for another challenge over at The Outlawz Copics/alcohol markers group.  This week we are asking you to celebrate a milestone birthday with us.  It can be any milestone number you like so the choice is wide - plenty of scope to come up with something!  Our prize this month is $15 to spend in the Etsy store of your choice so why not join in - you could be the lucky winner :)

       For my card I chose to make one for my youngest sister's birthday (which has been and gone now so I'm safe to post this).  I can't tell you how old it makes me feel now that my youngest sister is 40!!  I think I dealt with my 40th better than I'm doing with this one.  Anyway, her favourite colour is purple/lilac so I decided to go with a monochrome palette and use one of my favourite digi companies, Teddy Bo .
               I enlarged the image to make it fit almost the whole height of the 6x6 card and then coloured it with my Copics - I had added the "40" before I printed it.   I chalk-inked the edges and added a button to Teddy Bea's hat and matted the image layer onto a lilac layer before sticking to the main card front.

I would like to enter this into the challenges at -

Anything goes Friday at The Outlawz.

Hello all!
As well as Anything Goes, we also have the option of doing a calendar page for the last challenge of each month over at the Copics/Promarkers group at The Outlawz .  I've managed to stick with this choice and so have my November 2013 page to share today.  I have been using the Teddy Bo digis for the whole calendar and keeping it simple with just the image and the month table.

 

Isn't he just so rootin' tootin' cute?

Happy October to you!

Hello all!
          Ok so it's a couple of days early but allow me artistic license please! This is a scheduled posting as I'm not sure how jetlagged I will be feeling this Friday morning, having flown back across the Atlantic Ocean yesterday (and yes, my arms are very tired!! sorry but I've just spent 2 weeks with a 5 year old and a nearly 2 year old so I'm sure you can understand !)
                    Anyway this is the Anything Goes/optional calendar page challenge for the Friday alcohol markers group over at The Outlawz.   I'm continuing with my calendar for 2013 and I went for an appropriate theme and colour scheme for October by using Halloween orange and a cheerleading bear for the football season.

                  I would like to enter this into the Anything Goes challenge at http://teddybochallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ ,  http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/ (Halloween/Anything Goes) ,  http://simplycreatechallenges.blogspot.com/ (Anything Goes), http://inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/ (animals).

 

 

            Why not head over to The Outlawz and join in with our alcohol markers challenge this week?  As an added incentive we are being sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K so you could win some great digis too!  Thanks for popping in and have a wonderful Friday :)
