Hello Spring!

Well it's actually not Spring here in Australia...it's Autumn.
I am entering my first  La La Land Crafts challenge and their theme is 'Spring Easel Card'. I have fallen in love with these beautiful stamps and dies!

So, the last few weeks I've been practicing my copic colouring and finally I can see an improvement...but I still have a long way to go. I've really enjoyed creating a card for this challenge and stretched myself to make a 'three easel card'. I got the idea from Norma @ From My Craft Room then adapted it to my own measurements. I have coloured up the follwing digi stamps

My son has a hidden talent...

Since my last post, I have made only one card which I will upload soon. I have also been watching so many copic colouring tutorials and been practising heaps. I am beginning to see an improvement.
Friday nights my older kids all go to youth and my 10 yr old son, Gabriel and I have started crafting together.
I recently stumbled across 'La La Land Crafts' and have fallen in love with their Marci and Luka stamps.
My son loves the Luka stamps and wants to build his collection now.
Well, last night he wanted to make a card while I worked on mine. He created his own digi scene using some of Make it Crafty Urban collection digi stamps and used his first Luka stamp (Back to School Luka). He just coloured away but then when it came to doing the hair and skin, he wanted to blend colours like everybody else. I gave him a mini tutorial on what I've learnt so far and he went for it. The results speak for themselves! I am so proud of him!!!
He would like to enter his card on La La Land Crafts for Kids blog and maybe even start his own blog.

Here are a couple of pics of his card :)

Update on 1st March: So happy and proud of Gabriel!!! His card won the kids blog challenge. He is very excited. I can't wait to see his creativity develop :)
