October Walk

 Good afternoon! the sun is back out and it's warmed up slightly from the freezing temps of the weekend. 

During October I decided to do a walk for breast cancer, 35 miles in 31 days. which I managed to complete on schedule. A friend of mine wanted to do a 2nd walk at the same time so we combined miles and walked together for part of mine.

Today's post is showing a card I made her as a thank you for the encouragement. I did originally intend to put this image Ink Me In Pink from TLC Designs on a t-shirt to wear while walking but I couldn't get the sizing right as she is such a skinny gal!:

I resized and printed the image then colored her with Copic markers. I added the pink ribbon to her dress and boots to represent Breast Cancer. The gorgeous paper also called Ink me In Pink is also from TLC Designs and is sold to raise money for breast cancer. I matted a white A2 card base with pink card and this paper. I added my image and like me adhered it at a wonky angle. I die cut 3 thank you sentiments, glued these together and placed them in her hands. Finally as it needed to be pink I added a few pink gems.

Breast cancer is very dear to me, I had a life long friend who was taken from her 2 small children with this disease so I will always support any company that gives to this charity.

Dressing Up Gnomes

 Good evening! it's been a cold few days here, makes you want to snuggle up on the couch all day!

Today's post is using some digital stamps I've had a couple of months and not been able to get round to using them. So today I printed them and enjoyed myself coloring them. They are cute freebies from TLC Designs.

The first one I thought was so funny! given the USA's current situation with voting I thought, forget the Republicans and Democrats and vote Gnome!

Isn't he just the great! He is from TLC designs and is called Gnorman. He some with a bunch of sentiments including the ones I have used and as well as election time would be great for Independence Day. I resized him, arranged his sentiments, printed him and colored with Copic markers trying to emulated the colors of the Statue of Liberty. He was matted with a coordinating card stock and placed on an A& card base.

My next card is a Halloween card for a little girl Mollie is going to spend Halloween with using Jack O'Gnome:

Another great image! I just love the mass of curls for his beard! This image comes with all sorts of extras including papers one of which I have used. I printed and colored him again with Copic markers I then fussy cut him. I matted an A2 card base with the leafy paper and added Jack to it. I couldn't make one of the sets sentiments fit my card since the pumpkin was so round so I used a Spellbinders die to make my Eek and boO!

I loved coloring these guys, but gnomes are always fun to play with!
