Congrats on your degree !

Happy Friday to you all, hope you are having a fantastic day ! I have had a wonderful day off getting pampered with a pedicure and manicure and getting some things done I wanted to do. It is a really special weekend for me because tomorrow I will be watching my son Phillip walk with the University of Phoenix graduating class of 2010 with his Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I am so proud of him ..... Congrats to you Phillip ! Way to go....
Well this little card is for him and it is the first little Edwin I have ever done, he is #152 heart breaker Edwin from the "Raising the ceiling collection" and you can get him here from Diana. I love his little wings cause I have always called my boys my angels. I have followed the sketch at Magnolia-licious Highlites. The DP's are TPC studio, Class act Thoreau's quote. The little cap and diploma are stickers from Jolee's. Copics used B34, B41, E000, E00, E02, E30, E33, E39, C00, C1, C3, C5 and R20. I took a piece of jeans and put some colorless bender on it and dabbed it on his pants to give them a jean look. I added some stickles to his wings for bling. The sentiment in computer generated font is LD Walt, and I had wrote on the diploma.

The inside of the card says " Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.....by Henry David Thoreau.
I am entering this card in the following,

Well the weekend is coming to an end, hope you had a nice one...ours has been really windy here. I tell you I fell like I have been going in circles non stop, I have been working to much here lately however hopefully that will all change after this week as I have hired a new person. Ok on to my little card ! This little image just makes me smile, I love the frog, the backwards hat(how both of my boys wore them when they were little.... the youngest one(28) still does and those feet are just to much. I have followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness MMSC51. This card is really out of the norm for me as most of my coloring is of Tilda and girly type cards, but this is a special little card that is going to a very special little boy, my grandson Ricky IV that lives in Florida who is 6 and I miss so much.

The name of my image is called "Froggy gift" by High Hopes you can get him at 7 Kids College Fund he seems to be out of stock at the moment.....I was lucky enough to have a friend send me a couple, thanks Lena !

I have colored my image with copics R22, 24,27,29 32
E00,11,30,31,33,39
B32,34 & YG21, 23 and C1
Sakura Gelly roll white use for highlight dots.
Frame and border were cut on my wishblade.
I inked the outer edge of the card with deep blue cat eye inks.
DP's were scraps from my stash and buttons are stash too !

Well that is it for me this weekend thanks for coming by, and find some time to color it is good for the mind :)

Hugs,

Don't shoot me...kiss me I'm a Prince !

Hi and thanks for coming by I hope you are having a nice weekend, we are here the weather is just beautiful so that always makes for a good day in my book. Diana at Magnolia-licious is always thinking of fun things for us to do, so her latest challenge to us was, to create a card using "Right through my Heart" image. I had my little image already colored, and could not think of a thing to do with her....well lo and behold I woke up with this idea in my head and put it right into action. I have used the Oak tree stamp which I cut the branches off the right side and placed them over some hard to cut out areas in the center and on the left. The little dragon fly and frog prince are from the new spring collection and can be pre-ordered from Diana as well. I made my card a frame card for the depth. I have added some embroidery floss for the twine on the bow and made an arrow from a tooth pick, colored it with copics and the little feathers on the arrow are just hand drawn and cut. I added some gold stickles to the little frogs crown ! The background is a graphic I used from some images that I have from PC crafter, called "Earthscapes". I am hoping to get the air brush system soon. I hope you like my little take on this challenge it was lots of fun to put together.

I am going to enter this at Papertake Weekly where they want something different from the norm.
A Spoon full of Sugar they want something 3D.
Have a great rest of the weekend and try to find some time to color it is good for the mind and soul.
Hugs,
