Uptown Girl

Good morning all.

This morning is looking a little promising with regards to the weather. Although the wind is cool the sun is still trying to shine thro. Has spent this morning as usual tidying after a hectic morning - 3 kids getting ready for school can leave the place like a hurricane went thro. And the iron pile was starting to look like a mountain even the bravest wouldn't climb so needed to be tackled. I don't know about you but I like to watch TV while ironing and my favorite morning program (UK) is The Wright Stuff - makes me laugh ).
I also managed to finish this card which I started yesterday (or the day before) - it sometimes takes me a while finishing a card but I will think about the layout, colour and emnellishments while I do other things. I have used this fabulous digital image from KENNY K DOWNLOADS - isn't she just perfect for a teenage girl with a little attitude!

Rylee's flowers

Good morning all.

Am finally starting to feel human again after 4-5 days of feeling like an ogre. I can even smell the air again although living in the countryside close to fields that are being fetilized is not always a bonus lol.
The sun is shining again but I doubt that will last long as they have forcast heavy rain. Spent the morning tidying up after 2 teenage boys and a little hurricane who can make mess faster than I can tidy up.

Anyhow, you didn't come here to read my ramblings but hopefully because you like the look of my cards. Today I am showing you a card for my mum who is always at the end of the phone when I need someone to moan to or just catching up with the family back home whom I miss like crazy. She is my best friend.
This is Rylee's flowers - isn't she just the cutest!! You can get her HERE and others too.

Kool Dude!!!

Good afternoon all.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I am still not feeling to good but hey, you can't cure a flu. Been food shopping (which I hate, surfing a little (on the net) and done some crafting.
I follow a lot on FB and love to see what's new. Amongst others is Tickled Pink's FB page, there is loads to see and discover and sometimes you might be lucky and win a prize. Like I did today - although I was a little too late Kellie still sent me a free digital image - how kool is that!!.

Anyhow, this is what I made this week-end. It is my first attempt on colouring with Prisma pencils on kraft and although I still need a lot of practise I am not too disappointed. I just love this Lil Guys and have got a few others to work with. I wanted a rocking feel and printed out a free music sheet from the PC. Can anyone guess the band who sang this song. I was a HUGE fan.

THE HITCHCOCKS "Blood Will Follow" Promo Video

Just real quick for Marcea's "Music Saves My Soul" I wanna share this. It is not my usual sort of music but my baby brother plays the guitar (he's the second guy featured - Mads) and I am dead proud of him. They are currently supporting Volbeat (a very popular band). Hope you will have a listen :).

Good morning all.

Well, I have been a little quiet this past week but Phoebe has taken a while to get over her cold, like a yo-yo really - one day feeling good, next day feeling bad. And now I have caught it. I must admit I am feeling dreadful and have not been in a mood to do anything apart from feeding my kids (essential) and just basic washing, tidying and cleaning (necessary).
But I did make this card today and yesterday. I am practising with my Prisma pencils to get a better result, especially the hair and the very talented Jen Shults is an expert. So my thanks goes to her for passing on her knowledge and I do love the hair on this image. If you use Prisma pencils I would highly recommend a visit.
Right - I am off again as my eyes are hurting and need a rest (again).
