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.

Mother's Day Card

It's that time of the year again where MUM's are celebrated but the truth is...mother's should be celebrated everyday. I am thankful for my mum. She has a generous spirit and a gift of giving. She's a great cook too!
I also love being a mum...it is a gift from God and He has definitely blessed me with 4 amazing children.

Well today I made my mum her mother's day card which I am entering into the 
'La La Land Crafts Contest #13 - Mother's Day, Wedding or Graduation.' It is the first time I have paper pieced a card. It was a bit of work but I like the effect. I also used liquid pearl for the first time but had an accident halfway through when the bottle slipped and rolled over some of the pearls and squashed them. I tried to fix the smudge the best I could :(
Here is the pic of my card.

                                                   The lovely image is Dress up Marci 

                                 I also used Filigree Corner Die from La La Land crafts.

   
I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Boots -  Use a Stamped Character

                                                    Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
