My Name is Crystal

This cute image with the long braids is from Make It Crafty and her name is Crystal.

I have colored her with Copics cut around her with a Spellbinders die and colored the edges with my yellow copic.  I put dark blue DP on the front of the card and then a die cut from Recollections over it.  Added some sparkly shaped brads and the sentiment and more brads.  I think I need a new camera, the colors never seem to be quite the same as the true colors.  I must admit I have dropped the camera a couple of time!

Tomorrow morning I am going to leave to go on a three day golfing holiday in Forest Ontario with eleven other women golfers. My two oldest sons will be keeping an eye on their Dad while I am gone.  He should enjoy that!

And a picture of just the image

Enjoying the good life

Wow it is a great day here, nice and bright and sunny and there are trucks and trailers and lots of men unloading shingles and putting them on the roofs in our complex.  They will start the actual work on Monday hopefully finishing one roof each day.  There are 13 units in our complex.  Could be rather noisy around here for a couple of weeks.

The card I have for to-day is for a friend who spent a week in Cuba recently and just spent a month  at a beach apartment in Florida.  She is part of our card group so celebrated her birthday yesterday!

The background image and the image of the sun bather are from Sassy Studios.  I have colored both with Copics.  I cut out the sun bather and popped up the image.  I added some stamped seagulls in the top corner and a jewel on the lower part of the card.

 And a close up of just the sun bather

Enjoy your day!

Time For Me

Bright Sunny day here, but we do need some rain for our gardens, it is hard to dig to put in some new plants.  Glad I have so many flowering plants that come up every year.

Thought this would suit a granddaughter for her birthday she does like to have her fingernails and toes polished.  Had nice visit with her last week, they live a distance away so don't see them as often as I would like to.

The image is from Mo Manning and I have coloured her with Copics and added a butterfly, a flower some gold ribbon and a sentiment sticker from my stash.
