So I might have printed this digi a little large and it wouldn’t fit on the outside without obscuring the number so I popped it inside.
This did provide the inspiration for another card I might have made recently

You might have noticed that I am clearing up my blog photos and I am almost done, I made this card so long ago I can barely remember it but if I don’t post it I will definitely not remember it lol.
I loved birdie brown images so much and miss her style, MFT have a new artist who is similar but there was something so special about Torico, I do hope she comes back to the world of paper craft.
There is only one boy amongst the big six and I had to go with a different image for him. His favourite colour is orange so it seemed natural to go that way.

So every year I try and get the “big six” cards made at the same time even though the first birthday is March and the last is December. I always use the same style/image but vary the colours, this year is no exception and the first one I made is this one.
I have been trying to use my cricut more and the one thing I love is making number or letter cards, since they introduced the outline feature on the iPad there has been no stopping me and you can expect to see lots more of them.
I used a digi from Robertos Rascals from Cc Designs, I love these images and wish the digis were still available. Fingers crossed they are again soon.
Not much else to say except there will be five more of these lol.
Omg I can’t believe I haven’t shown this before. I made it when I made the skyline card with the glasses and that was a while ago.
I had stamped the glasses and coloured them when the creative stamping magazine arrived and it was beach themed so it worked out perfectly
I joined Mo’s patreon and this image was a freebie and as soon as I got it I printed and coloured it. It made me smile and I hope it made the recipient smile too.
Not much else to say except I think I’m obsessed with blueprints 31 lol.
I am not sure what too me so long to purchase these images from IT girls but what an absolute joy to colour. I can see many more purchases in my future lol.
As is the way this year the design itself is very simple, I have tried this year to let the colouring speak for itself and this has helped me stay on track and also enjoy the process.
I am sure I am not alone in finding the creative process sometimes stumbles and I find myself staring at a blank page and having no clue where to start so when I feel like this I find colouring sparks my joy and ultimately my creativity. So to sum it up, do what makes you happy.
When this magazine arrived I had this idea and it worked lol. Of course the person had to support a team with a striped shirt but it worked out ok, I do think it’s a design I will use again just not for a while lol.
Last year I made several of these cards and I thought why not make one for my cousins granddaughter who is obsessed with Lol. I really like the colours on this one and those eyes are so expressive.
What do you do when your hubbie announces he needs a card by tomorrow and you have no ideas!!! You case one of your own lol, there was no time to look through Pinterest and Instagram and plan it I just had to make it lol.
Oh course I used the eclipse again, the recipient thought it was very clever and subtle lol. Plus hubbie liked it which was an added bonus lol.

Another style of card I’m enjoying is using my cricut to cut multiple layers, they recently introduced the ability on the iPad and I’m obsessed. Expect to see more of this style lol.
My only criticism is the original letters needed to be closer together and stretched lol. Also I had to make the envelope and that took longer than the card lol.
My mum loved it though and that’s what matters most.
I do think the eclipse technique is amazing and even after all the cards I’ve made with it I still love making them. Seeing peoples reaction when they spot it is worth all the work.
I was searching for a lovely large floral when this magazine arrived, I really love the Uk magazines for the gifts included. Sometimes they help kick start the old mojo.
