The big six are 9 version 3

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

Sitting here thinking of you

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.

The big six are 9 version 2

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.

The big six are 9 version 1

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.




Beachy Scene

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

Red Herring?

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.

Vogue

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.
