Bear and friend

A Christmas card for a couple of challenges.

Bah Humbug is asking for a 'Window' and Just Cute Bears require Bear and Me...here are Bronson and Beaker.. so the 'me' is this case is the little robin!

I coloured the image with Copics and made the window using my square Nesties.

I quite like the simplicity!

Pretty in Pink

I love the images of Kiki from Pollycraft (where I was a Pollycraft favourite last week) and this one is no exception. Here she is holding a bunch of very tempting looking cupcakes. It's for a few challenges.

Sweet Stampin - Pretty in Pink

Crazy 4 Challenges - Include a cupcake

Charisma Cardz - Teddy Bear

CAS-Tastic Challenge - Case the DT

Alphabet Challenge - O Oval

All the pink on this card was coloured with Copics... the ribbons and the card trims, which were then twinkled with Glamour Dust.

Get well soon

I heard recently that a friend of ours, who was in fact our son's class teacher many years ago when he first graduated, and my son was in year 4, is in Intensive Care in hospital following a heart attack. He is not yet 50 and so it came as quite a shock to everyone.

My immediate thought was to make a card for him, I really hope that sending messages, to let people know that they are in your thoughts, aids recovery.

I chose the sketch from Sketch Saturday, the colour Peridot from Daring Cardmakers and the theme It's a Man's World from the Secret Crafter's Saturday Challenge. I think that there must be something subconscious within me which associates hospitals with green. It may be something to do with the wearing of scrubs.

This image always makes me think of my son who is just starting work as a Resident GP.

Get well soon Eric!
