40 & Fabulous!
My lovely SIL celebrated her milestone 40th birthday recently in style with a surprise roller disco party! Was so much fun and I only fell over 3 times & didn't break anything which is always good! I made her this special pop-up box card and had fun creating the background brick paper with multiple stencils and distress inks. The image was coloured in Distress inks too and the scene came together so well.

Look Who's 40
This week we celebrated darling husband's 40th birthday. He didn't want to do anything or have any fuss made so that's exactly what we did, nothing but spend the day together as a family which was lovely. But I still wanted to do something fancy for his card. I'd admired this card style for a while but I'd never tried it, so this was the perfect time to have a go at making one of those box cards. He is a massive Star Wars fan and this was a new set of stamps I'd just bought. I created the galaxy background paper with Distress Inks too. It was a lot easier to create than I thought, and am now addicted to this card type, especially after giving it to DH who was very impressed and even said that it was the best card I've done!
Card Ingredients Include:
Copics: Yoda: YG03 YG25 G24 G28, E71 E74 E77 E79, E09 E18
Luke Skywalker: E000 E00 E11 E13, E71 E74 E77 E79,

Distress Ink: Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserve, Peacock Feathers, Fossilised Amber, Black Soot

Zen-Sational!
I have loved this image Zen-sational from The Paper Shelter for ages but had been scared to colour it up as I never thought that I could do it any justice. But recently Kit & Clowder had a freebie class for dragons which gave me the confidence to try, plus I combined it with a modified background from the August 2017 monthly marker class. I absolutely love how it turned out!!!

Kit & Clowder 2018 Retreat
Its that time of year again when the annual Kit & Clowder Australian retreat was held in Queensland. This year I brought along my daughter to join in with the creativity. As always, the weekend went past in a flash or colour, fun and laughter but we went away with yet some more marvellous keepsakes; the small block was coloured in Copics by others to represent ourselves and the masterpiece was the clock which was coloured in pencils (which I completed at home after the event).
