Happy Birthday, Crafty Girl!

With all my DT work lately it's getting hard to create non-DT cards and layouts! But I promise - I will post a couple a week! I haven't forgotten my roots and where I came from! I love all stamp companies and product! :)

Would you believe that even though I create a TON of cards, I often forget to GIVE them to people? *lol* Yes, you read that right - I forget to give out cards for people's birthdays! Not this week, though. I made this card to celebrate a friend's birthday this week. She's into paper crafting too and although she says she's not "hardcore" like me and my BFF, I still consider her a papercrafter!

This card features Sugar Nellie's Manga Girl #1.  Isn't she adorable? I tried something new with her hair this time - instead of using my Copic Sketch C3, C5, C7, C9, I also added Copic 100 to it to make her roots and ends a little darker.

I must confess - I get a lot of coloring advice from... my HUBBY! Can you believe it? He's actually more artistic than me - he can draw pretty well (although he says he can only draw inanimate objects) and he has a clear concept of light and shadows. So everytime I color, I always hold it up and show him to get his approval. He always says, "Where's your light source." and then I tell him and he either says "That's pretty good" or "Don't do too much highlight" or "make that part darker." *lol* Isn't that hilarious?

Anyway, for the rest of my card I used my January TE Key Ingredients Kit... My Nestabilities... And that sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. :)

I'm also entering it in this week's Copic Creations Challenge (I haven't done one in a while!).

Hope you like it! Thanks for visiting today! :)

card for Kate.

Jennifer McGuire is one my all time favorite paper crafters. The things she can do with Hero Arts stamps is AMAZING.

So when she and a couple other gals decided to organize a card drive for Kate McRae, a 5 year old little girl battling cancer, and her family - I thought it would be nice to participate.

You can find out the details  HERE if you would like to participate as well!

 

This card is also for this week's Mojo Monday's sketch AND the Copic Creations challenge for the week: Your favorite color combination which, in my case, is pink and green! Yay! 2 challenges at once!

The Mojo Monday sketch is actually for a rectangular card, but I decided to make it square since this cute little Liesel image is pretty huge!

 

I also actually took the time to create an inside of the card where I'll write a little message to Kate. I hope she and her family like the card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Hope your Thursday is FABULOUS!
