Conie Fong - Bella Rose

Hi everyone 

Tonight's card is one I have been working on for a few days now. I recently won a $10 gift voucher for Conie Fong stamps in a challenge and purchased this beautiful stamp with part of my winnings. I decided to use Polychromos to colour this one but used Copics to do the hair.

Happy 1st Birthday

Hi everyone

Todays card has a little story behind it:

I love this cute little shaker card I have made for a little boy that I follow on Facebook who was born with Donnai-Barrow Syndrome. His parents face everyday with such bravery and Mylo's page is written by his dad but he writes it as if it is Mylo speaking to his 'fans'. He is such a cute little boy and a fighter! I have followed him everyday since he was about 4 or 5 months old and his 1st birthday is coming up. I messaged his dad (The 'fat bearded weirdo' as he calls himself through Mylo) and asked if I could send a card for Mylo and he even answered the message as if it was Mylo replying to me. An amazing family who certainly make you sit back and realise there are always people with bigger struggles then you and yet they still face it with a smile on their face and find humour in even the hardest of times.

You can follow Mylo's journey on Facebook HERE 

Mylo's mummy and daddy also have a blog HERE

Unicorn Dreams - Make It Crafty

Hi everyone 

I recently decided to try colouring an image with 'no lines' WOW What a  difference it makes to your finished image. I am not going to lie to you, it was hard! It took a lot longer then a normal colouring and took a lot of concentration. 

I will definitely be doing more of these though.
