A NEW BEGINNING

Morning All!!

Well ... hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to New Year's Eve tonight - think our's is gonna be a fairly quiet event :o)
Have to show you - my hubby bought me the whole set  of copic markers for Christmas!!! and I sadly sat and arranged them into colour order LOL - here's a pic :o)

Anyway ... there a new challenge to enter over at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY where the theme this time is NEW BEGINNINGS - pop on over and check out all the other DT cards they are fab as usual!!

Here's my card

I used my brand new copics to colour (he he), this image is one of Roberta's fab creations -  CHERRY BLOSSOMS and, for me, it just makes me think of spring, new growth and a new start - hence "new beginnings" :o).  The sentiment is one of mine and is todays FRIDAY FREEBIE at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU

Just thought I'd let you know that there is still a week to go over at TOTALLY TILDA so you still have time to enter - the theme this time is EASEL CARDS

Here's another card to give you some inspiration

I couldn't wait to use my Mermaid Tilda and I've coloured her with promarkers, used a couple of sea themed charms and the paper I thought reminded me of tropical waters which I've sprinkled with icicle dust.
The sentiment is one of mine from a set of 6 and can be found at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day and hope Santa brings you all lots of crafting goodies :o)

VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS CARD

I've used the winter scene magnolia background stamp, coloured with promarkers and cut out with a nestie shape, the tag is my new doo hickey "vintage tag" which I just had to have lol - I've printed out the sentiment and then cut it out using the tag shape - lots of gem sparkles to create swirls :o)
