A card at last and some very EXCITING NEWS!!

Hi all, what a couple of weeks, my mojo went AWOL not sure it is back yet! Must get this of my chest been having a very trying time with bullying of my son, so forgot how cruel some children can be, needless to say every time I sat to craft all I could think about was this problem!! It is times like this that I wish I had been bright enough to home school my children, but I daresay that is not the answer either, anyway enough of this back to my sanctuary, my crafting world!!!

First pick me up last week was being inked by the Inky Impressions Girls, these are very talented ladies and there are always amazing entries, so did a happy dance Wednesday night much to Rusty's amusement, he joined in, game for anything (he is our German Shepherd). Still on cloud nine when Sammi emailed me to ask if I would join her Design Team at Mad for Markers, YES YES YES, so a another happy dance around the factory, good job there were no customers lol! So gone beyond cloud nine, I am so looking forward to working with her talented self and talented team, must admit just a little nervous as they are extremely talented, but so looking forward to it, the lovely Debra has swapped Tuesdays so I can take part in the current challenge on the 4th May, thank you. Our challenge which starts today for two weeks is Monochromatic (shades of one colour), please join us Sammi has a prize of a $10.00 voucher to her Mad for Markers Store, now I am sure we can all use an extra copic or two lol!

Anyway been trying to get this card made all week for the Anya Ink Challenge #2 Pink and Sparkly, glad it is running for two weeks and without realising it also fits our Mad for Markers Challenge.

This card is made for a gorgeous little girl who lives across the road who will be turning eight next month and is having a party on the 1st and her best friends Rosanna and Morgan are invited, they have so much fun playing in the court together, lovely bunch of children they have races, we had a talent show in the hols and the parents had to come and watch it was wonderful. Edward's ute is their Club House called 'Club House Rocket Star', lots of meetings, colouring and planning takes place there. Karly's mum and I have become friends too and sometimes meet to keep and eye on the children, couple of chairs on Lisa's front oh and where did that bottle of wine come from lol!

The number eight has been stamped randomly then I painted it and the flowers with Karly's name on with Simmerz Blingz Poinsettia Pink (from Susana's Store). Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch, looooove this punch, used dazzling diamonds, chunky glitter, embellishments and kindyglitz. Pink is Karly's favourate colour.

Chloe has to be one of my favourate TGF images, which my crafting friend Emma has a whole stash of, went to Emma's for a play last Monday and Chloe came home with me, thanks Emma.

Coloured using my Copics, still experimenting with different hair colours and getting the light in the right place.
