I made this card some time ago but thought it was time I posted something to my blog and hope you like it. My husband chose to send this one to a niece only this morning so he thinks it's OK.
LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE
When I saw this week's challenge I knew straight away what I wanted to do. Having made up the card I was not sure whether I liked the sentiment and it's taken me all week to decide to 'go for it' as they say. I'm sure by the time I come to sell it at the end of March spring really will be here or at least much nearer than it is now. Although we had a lovely day here yesterday, sunny and warm.
The card is a linen effect card and I stamped the digi image (from Digi Doodles) straight onto the card and coloured with Copics. The sentiment is computer generated.
Thank you for stopping by to have a lool.

No Cards!
Hi everyone,
Sorry there have been no cards recently but I have not been well I've been in hospital with pneumonia which caused my arthritis to flare up and I've been feeling proper sorry for myself, I'm still not 100% but do have a little less pain today which I hope will continue. I went to see the doctor again yesterday and she gave me some more tablets this time to help with the pain but as they are steroids they come with many warnings and possible side effects but for now I will just be grateful to get some pain relief.
Hopefully therefore I may get round to making some cards. The card from my last post is still sitting on my desk waiting for its insert and finishing and now we are into February I am beginning to think of my regular 3rd Saturday coffee morning sale and as I didn't get there last month I really want to get there this month.
Thank you so much for calling by I really do appreciate it when I get visitors even though my posting is very sporadic.

1st card for 2011
Thanks for stopping by, its ages since I uploaded any cards but I have promised myself that I will try to enter at least one challenge a week this year, (is this a NewYear Resolution I wonder?). I'm not very good at keeping these so we shall have to see. I hope you like what you see and thanks again for stopping by.
I made this card to go in my 'for sale box' but unfortunately it has not scanned well at all. I know I should photograph it to get a better picture but I couldn't be botherered. I am full of cold or something which I have had for a couple of months now and although the doctor gave me antibioticts last week the are not working so another visit will no doubt need to be made.
Anyway I wanted to enter the challenges for 'new beginnings' at various places but especially LOTV which ends tomorrow, so I hope everyone will forgive me. I can assure you that the babygrow and hat are pink to go with the rest of the card and not blue as the picture would suggest. I actually quite liked it when it was done but am really not sure now I see it on the screen.
Oh, well the LOTV challenge is closed so I'll see what else I can find and will edit accordingly.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL
We spent a lovely Christmas Day with our daughter and her family. Her 2 children are our youngest grandchildren, Abi is 5 and Xander 2 1/2. Abi has now got to the stage where all she wants to do is rip the paper of everything whilst Xander is happy opening one present and playing with it. Abi found this very frustrating as she kept having to slow down so she hadn't opened all her presents before Xander got beyond his first. But in the end we had a lovely day.
Fortunately we had done everyone elses presents some time ago but I couldn't decide what to get my husband and then the snow arrived which kept me housebound so in the end I panicked and ordered some stuff from Amazon only part of which arrived before Christmas the rest arrived today. My husband had much the same experience but being able to go out he got something locally.
Anyway I hope you all had a super Christmas and that you will have a bright and happy New Year
Thanks so much for stopping by and hopefully I will show you more of my cards in 2011.

New Prisma Pencils
I bought myself some Prisma Pencils recently originally to use to shade when using my Copics. I thought I would give then a go at colouring the whole image which I found very satisfying. It takes longer to do than with the Copics but the shading is easier to do. I don't think the little girl's cardigan is showing up too well, it is a pale lavender. The image in 'real life' is very pretty. I think this is such a sweet image and just the way children behave.
The image I used is the one I won from Mo's recent Blog Hop which is a great favourite. I thought I would use this image and colour up as the summer season but whilst colouring it I realised that the flowers are daffodils so it can be either a spring or summer interpretation whichever you like. The sketch I used is the one from Truly Scrumptious which is easy and very effectice I think. So I am entering it in both Mo's Digital Pencil and in the Truly Scrumptious challenges.
Hope you like it and thanks for calling by.
