Seasons Greetings

Oh wow oh wow oh wow. Can you believe it is now October. Gosh the time has flown and we are fast approaching Christmas so I thought I would make another Christmas card. I do love the reds and greens you can use for Christmas. Some of my favourite marker combos. This little cutie elf is from Make if Crafty and he is available in store now -here. So another card down, hmmmm another 30 to go LOL. What about all of you....??? Have you go your Christmas cards organized...?? I used the sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge. The new fortnightly challenge can be found here.

All markers can be purchased at Mad for Markers.

A star is born

Good morning everyone. How are we all...??? Good I hope. Here in good old Melbourne we are all travelling very well. Today I have a card to show you made for the current challenge at Mad for Markers which is to use 'Greys'. If you haven't popped by the challenge blog for a while you will notice that we have changed things up a little - we have changed the challenges from monthly to fortnightly - so still gives you enough time to make something but you aren't waiting as long for the next challenge. I decided to colour the whole stamp in grey and use colours on the card. I used 'Tyler' from the Creeper Crew Set available at Mad for Markers.

Cheeky Beach

Morning everyone. Hope you are all well. I am still tired from the weekend but seriously had such a wonderful time you wouldn't believe especially when I went out to dinner on Saturday night with the fabulous Sammi and Marcia and of course Sammi's sweet hubby, Guy (pronounced Gee).

At the Paperific Craft Show I put this card up on the wall to show the stamps that Sammi had available at the Mad for Markers stall and forgot to take a photo of it beforehand - so here it is. I really like this Cheeky Beach stamp (available at Mad for Markers). So cute (another one).

Hanglar Birthday wishes

Hello Copic lovers.

I am here for another Thursday post for Mad for

Markers challenge.

Now we are all not very good at boy cards - if you are then

you are a star. Even with two boys I can't seem to

get it right. There is always something missing. LOL.

Good thing you only love me for my colouring ability hahahaha.

Here is a Hanglar card for your inspiration.

Anything goes with Tilda

Good morning everyone. It is Thursday so it is my Mad for Markers post day. I must admit I did colour up this stamp a few weeks back waiting for this challenge but only just used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers to create the card. It took me a while to find the DP to go with the colours on this. Unfortunately the bluey-grey of these BV markers do not match a lot but I found the perfect one from Kaisercraft.

I have used the 352gsm card with this card and OMG I am so in love with this card. If you haven't already preordered your card you 'need' to do it now. It is perfect card to use Copics with - it really does blend better than the thinner card. If you use Papertrey ink card than you will love this (hint hint Alleena). LOL.

Anyway a list of colours are at the bottom.

Morning everyone. Today is my Mad for Markers day so I thought I would show you a card I made for a friend. Hopefully they will love it but if not too bad LOL.

Strawberry Delight

Hey everyone. It is Thursday so it is my Mad for Markers day. Currently we have a challenge of colouring white. I love this challenge as you can still do lots and lots of different 'whites'. The first has to be the way I did it - C3, C1, C0 and blender pen. Another way to do 'white' is to grab your E31 pen and go around the outside of the white area and with your blender pen blend inwards. This will give you a more vintage look. There is also the B markers. You can do clouds with B0000 and B000 to give a cool look. So the varieties are endless. Why don't you give it a try.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, 00, 21

Strawberries: RV25, 27 (my own mix), RV29

Hair: E35, 39, 29

Grass/Green: Yg23, G24, 26, 28

Other: BG0000, BG000

Dress: C3, C1, C0, 0 blender.

The DP I used is from MME, the lace doilie is from Chantelle at her Etsy shop Simply cards and Creative Bits. The image is a new one from Mo Manning.

Have a good one.

Colouring White

Morning everyone.

Today is Thursday so it is Mad for Markers day. Yay....!!!!! We have changed our challenges to Monthly so you have lots of time to join in. Our host this challenge is Kylie and this month the challenge is 'Colouring White'. If you aren't that confident with colouring white than go here and see Kylie's tutorial.

I decided to use this gorgeous little stamp from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps. Isn't he cute. I also used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Have a good Thursday everyone.

Copics used: C1, C0, 0 Blender; R29, R24, R11, R12.

More M4M ATC's

Oh I had so much fun making ATC's for the Mad for Markers challenge. These ones were made with the leftover scraps from all my DP. You just gotta love that. These will be sent to Sammi and distributed out to the DT and customers who enter the challenge. Hope you find some inspiration from these.

Inspired by your Flag colours

Good morning everyone. Today is my first post for the Stamp Something Challenge blog. This week the challenge was to make a creation in your Country flag colours. I couldn't go past making another ATC for this challenge. This is such a cute stamp by Precious Moments and it came up so beautifully in these colours. Why don't you pop on over to the Stamp Something blog and see the inspirational work from the ladies on the DT.

I am currently on my way to Mildura for my sisters Wedding. I am excited. It has been a long time coming. Will hopefully have lots of photos of the day next week some time.

ATC with Mad for Markers

Good morning everyone. Today is Thursday so that means it is Mad for Markers day. Over at M4M we have a fortnightly challenge of an ATC. That's it. No special colouring techniques or anything like that.

I must admit I jumped at the chance to make some ATC's - it gave me a chance to use up all those scraps of DP I have in my box. Woo hoo. LOL. These Precious Moments stamps I purchased a while ago and didn't realize they were so small but they are just perfect for these ATC's. Have a wonderful day.
