Another Obsession

So I might sound like a broken record soon but I love this sketch lol. A crafty friend challenged me to make a card using this sketch and this was the first one I made but I can assure you it’s not my last, in fact this sketch seems to have replaced my rainbow stripes phase lol.

Anyone else get stuck in a creative rut and then something strikes you out of it and you get tons of ideas but in reality you just move to another rut. That has happened to me a lot in the last year, even though I’m chatting a lot to my crafty friends I am not seeing anyone in person and that is taking it’s toll. I am hoping to meet a few crafty friends soon and I am very excited about that.

Ok on to the card, it’s fairly simple and I let the image take centre stage. Also it’s not an A2 card, I found a few in a pack from Michael’s and they are slightly larger so I am going to use them up rather than just store them.

Cupcake Hamster

This wasn't the card I was making for my friend, I had already bought a different image and was going a completely different way when she said casually " I love your cards with hamsters" so I thought a hamster card it is then.

I went very simple and clean as I wanted the image to really stand out and I coloured it to look like their hamster "Roo" or "roudini" as we like to call him lol. He is like a mini escape artist but as he is so tame he comes back easily too.

1st Birthday Girl

This card was made in November for a very special ladies first birthday, time is rushing by and I still remember her mum's first birthday like it was yesterday, I was obviously a lot younger then lol.

This little one is very precious to us all and her smile and laugh brightens up a room, she is a very laid back young lady and a goofball to boot.

It was wonderful to spend the day with her and her family, she has an amazing mum and dad and big sister and I count my blessing that I get to enjoy them growing up.

Happy Birthday MUM

This is another of the huge cards I make for my Mum's birthday. I wasn't intending using these papers as I used them a few years ago for her but I had already coloured the image and they matched perfectly so it felt the way to go.

I actually coloured the image way back in August as part of the first 30 day challenge I took part in so I don't have a list of the copics and that determined the way the card was going to go lol.

I wanted to wish my MUM a very happy birthday and let her know I was thinking of her xx
