Marvin Monkey

Hi Folks

Just wanted to show you the card I have made for my nephews birthday which is next weekend. I used Marvin on Vine from Pink Gem, because he likes monkeys and I thought it is a really fun image for a child's card. I stamped him 3 times and, as usual, I used Promarkers to colour him in, then I decoupaged up the image to give it some depth. I raided my stash for suitable papers : Grandpa's golf shirt by Reminisce, Fauna by Doodlebug and a sheet from the 6" x 6" Wild Asparagus collection by MME. The glittery number 7 is from a sheet of stickers by Craft Creatives which I picked up on a good B.O.G.O.F. offer the other week!! I'd like to enter Marvin into the following challenges:

A Gem of a challenge - Special Birthdays - I think all birthdays are 'important' when you are little, it is only as you get older you want to forget a few. I know that Matthew certainly thinks his birthday is special LOL!!

Isn't she cute ???

Hello Folks!

Don't you just love this cute & girly bear?? She is called Daisy and I bought her this week from The Clipart Fairy. I think she was an absolute bargain for 65p and so easy to use and resize etc. If you are a bear fan like me, they have several cute bear digi's that are just waiting to be adopted!! A few more might have jumped into my shopping basket along with Daisy. Well, I didn't want her to get lonely now did I!!!

I used a sheet of BG paper from sugared collection, prima E - line flowers, prima got flowers, papermania (i think?) paper for her dress, butterflies and ribbons from stash, computer generated sentiment and a clear pearl.

Daisy is 'entering' the following challenges:
