I am going down to London this weekend to look after Harrison whilst Stephen and Melissa go away for the weekend. It is the first time I have looked after him for a weekend and I am so looking forward to it. I am sure I will loose a few pounds just running after him because he never stays still!! It would be nice to have some nice weather so we could get out for walks and playing in the garden but I don't think that is going to happen :0(
Anyway, here is the card that I have made for today:
I have used Mallory by MazyArt which are available on Etsy, she does some fabulous images and when you buy one you get a free one that she does for the month. I have coloured her with Copics and Prismas and added some Glossy Accents to those big eyes. The papers are by Wild Rose Studio I have had them in my stash for ages and I'm trying to use some up. I have made the border with a die which I'm not sure what make it is. The banner die is Memory Box. I have coloured some Card Candy with Copics, put Glossy Accents on and added a gem. Gems and ribbon from my stash. I have followed the sketch at Willow Sketchie which also has the theme Bold and Bright which I think this is. I would like to enter the following challenges:
Willow Sketchie - Sketch and Bold and Bright
Paper Makeup Stamps - Anything Goes
Incy Wincy - Anything Goes
Corrosive Challenge - Summertime Girls
Joanna Sheen - Summer Daze
Pan Pastel - Anything Goes
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Flags and Banners

Wow what a fab image I love her and your card is great Susan Well done
ref the serif program I use this link will take you there,... http://www.serif.com/craftartist/platinum/
They have a video to show you what the program can do . I bought it from Create and Craft , ideal world shopping channel at 34.99 I have since purchased more digi kits from them, around £3 each, I also look for images I can use without copy write and use those too, along with family photos and my ordinary photos. Its good fun, I started using it when I lost the full use of my right hand and arm ,I could use a mouse ( just) but things have improved over the 4 years since and so I am back hybrid crafting, but still use the serif program . Hugs Elaine
It's so nice to be able to do so much in a day, isn't it Susan! Your story about your weight loss made me laugh, I think we girls are always way too hard on ourselves! Enjoy life, you've only got the one (unless like me you believe in afterlife, lol!) Argh, that means I have to be careful with what I eat in a next life, too ;-)
On to your card now, your ice cream girl looks so pretty and her ice cream delish, love the banner and festive papers, too! Hugs, Ira x

Hi Susan..
JUst to say
I'm sooooo sorry I haven't been to see you lately...
But I really can't cope very well with the music ...
I try every day, but, as soon as it starts up ..I have to give up.
Please excuse me...
