Teenage Dream

Happy Thursday everyone,

Lol! My Thursdays are always happy ones because it is the end of my working week - one down, only six more until Christmas!

I have my next DT project for Cardz 4 Galz today, where we have a brand new challenge starting where Babs chose the theme of

'FOR A TEENAGER'

Here's what I made ...

I decided on '13' as the very first teen birthday. I love how this turned out - I used one of my favourite Saturated Canary images, called Nevaeh. She is coloured with a mixture of pencils and Promarkers.

The backing papers are from DCWV 'Love Letters' and are inked with Victorian Velvet and Crushed Olive distress inks.  I added a little die-cut banner from some of the scraps, a stamped 13th topper, two little LOTV sentiment tags and some punched flowers and leaves.

I hope you can come and join in with the fun over at the challenge.

Hugz, Jan xx

21 Today!

Well, not really!

It was my youngest daughter's 21st birthday last weekend, so I thought I would show you the card I made for her. She has just finished her degree and will be moving back home next month - can't wait!

I chose my favourite 8x8" card blank and covered it with backing paper by Basic Grey layered on top of a piece of turquoise cardstock (her favourite, hence the colour theme).  The main image is 'Nevaeh' by Saturated Canary (she looks a little like Samantha!) - I coloured her with my Promarkers and added a little glitter to the bottom of her dress.  The '21' is handmade and covered in turquoise glitter, together with the little flowers which are die-cut from scraps of the backing paper. The sentiment was created on my pc and I added a little silver butterfly charm for good luck.

Needless to say she had a fantastic day and loved her card (and her new laptop)!
