I’m pleased to report I’m not sick anymore, so have found much less time to colour in lately. I did manage to finish one off tonight though:
I used some new textas I bought on the weekend. They are very bright!
Thanks for reading.

Hi
My son had a birthday party today and the theme was “fluoro”. This is the card I came up with by making a background with fluoro textas and then writing the birthday boy’s name in black Sharpie over the top:
Very simple, but he seemed to like it 🙂
I think if I were going to make another one like this I think I’d use a darker background, but this is what Mr 6 picked so we rolled with it!
Thanks for reading.

I’ve still been doing a lot of resting on the couch the last few days, so of course have been doing some more colouring in. Here’s the latest efforts!

I was well enough to get back to work yesterday and after being in such a crafty zone the last few days I looked at a notepad on my desk and had to do something about it before I could possibly start work 😉
There, that’s better!
Yet another piece of paper from my stash has found a good home 🙂

If you’ve been reading my blog the past week you’ll know I’ve been working my way through my pile of spare card stock and designer series paper to make some cards using my scraps and offcuts.
I came across some pretty strips of paper and some envelopes – perfect for making my favourite quick and easy gift card holders!
I did a post a while ago showing you how to make these in detail. But these are seriously the quickest and cutest idea for gift giving ever!
Take any size envelope, fold it in half, cut the flap in half, stick down one side, decorate and you’re done!
A card, present and wrapping all in one cute little package!
Thanks for reading.

When I was rummaging through my stash of saved scrap paper the other day I came across some designer series paper I’d previously cut into the perfect shape to go on a card front. I have no idea what I was planning to do with them originally, but a few minutes with a corner rounder punch and some ribbon and ta da!
At about 2-3 minutes a card, what could be easier?!?
Thanks for reading.
