Kenny K's Handyman

Hello everyone!I'm on a roll...4 cards so far this month!!! I have finally dedicated some time to doing what I really love.
Today I showcase a birthday card I made for my husband, Patrick. He has his own painting business and is also a very good handyman. I thought the Kenny K Handyman digi was so him. I'm also into dies at the moment and couldn't wait to use the apron and tools from Marianne Design. I wish I had a pegboard die but since I didn't, I made my own.

Happy Birthday Destiny!!!

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter break :) I love holidays but the problem is...they go too quick!
My card today is for a special young lady who is turning 18. Destiny is currently doing a photography course and when I stumbled across this digital image, it reminded me so much of her. It even looks a bit like her. So of course I just had to buy this digi stamp called 'Jess taking pictures' from Jess College Fund and I'm also entering her into their challenge. The theme is 'Favourite Embellishment'. 

Embellishment

A decorative detail or feature added to something to make it more attractive.

My favourite embellishment is 'rhinestones'. I love adding sparkle to my cards. I'm really hoping to win because their prize is 36 Copic Sketch Stamping Marker set. Anyway, here is my card.

Happy Birthday to us!!!

On Saturday it was my birthday and my son's 11th birthday. I love sharing my birthday with him.
11 years ago God gave me Gabriel as my birthday present and I am so grateful because he has blessed my life in so many ways as have all of my other kids.
Gabriel loves to drum. He plays drum in our kids worship team at church called 'Nitros'. He is starring in our church Christmas production this year of a 'drummer boy' so I thought since drumming is a very important part of his life, I will make him a card with a drummer.  
The digital stamp I used is Kenny K's "Anime drummer". Isn't he cute?

I coloured this image with my copic markers.

Jungle theme birthday card

I was recently searching online for 'jungle' themed products when I stumbled across
Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and was very happy to find just what I needed. These cute paper piecing's are exactly what I was after. I had never really put one together but thought to give it a go. 
I want to make my friends son a birthday book and card for his 1st birthday. The day after I purchased their 'Zoo Safari  Pattern Collection', they offered a free 'lion' pattern with the condition you would create something on the weekend with this pattern. Well, I did just that!
This is the card I made...

I'm so excited to be going to the 'Papercraft show' this long weekend.

I am keen to see new products and especially meet Alyce Keegan and see her colour live.

Thanks for stopping by :)
