Copic Colouring – Work in progress
A friend asked if I could colour some poppies for her to put into a frame, of course I said yes and then got home a though ARGHHHH I have never coloured anything this size before with my Copics. The picture is approximately 10 inches by 8 inches and I am rather pleased with the way this one is going
Colours used so far are R59 R46, R29 and R35 I have yet to decide on the colours for the leaves.
Stay tuned for the completed version of this one and another one to be started 
ATCs with Attitude – Flowers
This week over at ATCs and cards with Attitude I chose the cute elephant from our sponsor for my atc which I coloured with my copics and then cut out to place on this bacground paper that someone had sent me. I finished it off with a papermania flower, button and thread. The quote was printed on my PC.
Having a Smash*ing time
I have started my “about me” Junk Journal or Smash* book. I made my own book and it has been sat waiting patiently for me to put something in it. I finally got around to completing the first double page. I have several half done pages but this one I think is pretty much finished (unless I decide to add something which is a distinct possibility knowing me lol)
Here is the double page spread:

Karate kids in the house!
Two very proud parents in our house due to our two boys gaining their blue belts in karate last weekend. It has only been a year since they got their 1st belt (red) so they have done really well.
Well done to the others as well, from left to right: Chelsea, Brook, Taylor, Grant, Phillip, Ryan, Ahren, Dominic, Abigail.
Male themed Mimic Creations Car card
For this Swing style card I used just the car and the Union Jack from the Mimic Creations CD to make the topper and let the software make the backing paper for me. I cut the Cogs using my Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets die. The card would be perfect for any man or teenager in your life, you know, the one who is always hard to make cards for.
Pop up card
This particular card inspired Hayley West to make a card on one of the first shows this week, I used a BCE Template but Hayley’s card was much more simple, I hope you didn’t miss the dimensions she used, She took a strip of card and folded each end in to the middle to create the “boxes” and the image was stuck in the middle where they met.
Patriotic Bunting
The union Jack on the Mimic Creations CD was crying out to be made into bunting. I used my Xcut dies for the inside and Geraldine lent me her scalloped dies for the layer on the back.
Here is a close up of the flowers I made with my Tim Holtz die to go on either end. I printed out the paper, cut them with the die and sprayed them with water to give them that tattered look.
Mimic Creations Motorbike
Here is a different card done with the Mimic creations CD. I took some of the elements and made my own picture which I then created the background using it. The holographic paper comes from the Holographic Glitteratze Card Pack, it just goes so well with all the images on this CD.

For this one I used one of the digi stamps on the CD and coloured it with my Copic pens. I cut this out with one of my Spellbinders dies and mounted it onto the Card Creations a title=”Holographic Glitteratze Card Pack” href=”http://www.cardcreationsplus.co.uk/Inkjet-Coated-Paper-and-Cards/Card-and-Paper-
Packs/Holographic-Glitteratze-Card-Pack” target=”_blank”Holographic Glitteratze Card Pack/a to give it a bit of a lift. The background card was embossed using a mask that will hopefully be available at a title=”Cullen Crafts – the friendliest craft shop in north east Scotland” href=”http://www.cullen-crafts.co.uk/” target=”_blank”Cullen Crafts/a soon. The strips were done using a M-bossibilites folder. The whole thing was finished off with some flower stickers and a sentiment.
More Exciting News!
My cards are going to be on the TV! This week’s pick of the week on Create and Craft TV is a CD with artwork by Mimic Creations and I was asked to make cards for the samples on the shows. Here is the first one I made:
The disk is so easy to use and the artwork is so fun to work with, you can create your own papers, inserts, envelopes etc with the images too.
This would be great for either of my Brothers, I remember them sitting down on a Saturday evening to watch the A Team and loving it!
More cards to come over the week so stay tuned.
