A Week of La-La Land Cards - Day 7

Sweet Dreams Marci
 
This was another image I learned to colour Copics with so I thought I would colour her a year later and see how much my colouring had changed.
 
Still love the image, still love copics...

Summer Marci
 
If you are going to colour Luka then you can't leave Marci out!  I am looking forward to summer this year, the kids are going to spend a lot of time at the beach I think...

A Week of La-La Land Cards - Day 3

This is Fancy Marci together with elements from the Brick Wall Set and Stump Set all by La-La Land Crafts.  The background of the hills, sky and rainbow are from Make It Crafty.
It was originally made to be an entry into a copic competition but things happen, snail mail takes too long and it didn't make it to the competition which was the theme of "somewhere over the rainbow".
One day she will get to travel somewhere, hopefully along the yellow brick road in her ruby slippers.

A Week of La-La Land Cards - Day 2

I thought I would showcase a week of La-La Land images that I have coloured and made into cards. 
 This is Cheerleader Marci.
 A year ago, she was the first image I used from La-La Land and it was my first attempt at Copic Markers, I thought I would try her again with some extra colours and after a lot of practice to see if I have improved any...

Fathers Day Card

Fathers Day is today in Australia and I made this card for Tony from all of us.  I used the Fisherman Luka from La-La Land Crafts.  My husband Tony has always stated he hates fishing.  Well in July, we took the kids out camping with friends and they all had a go fishing on the riverbank.  The kids all caught fish and so did Tony and after that, it was quite often that we caught him throwing in a line. Now he wants to get fishing gear for the whole family.... not bad for someone who hates fishing!  Luka reminds me a lot of our son Harry so it seemed fitting to give him this image.

I made four fathers day cards this year, Tony doesn't actually know which card is his and he won't find out until he gets home in just over a week.... I tried to be organised and get him a box of chocolates, caught the kids eating them for breakfast this morning... I tried, I really did!

Another baby

Anyone would think I was clucky with all these baby cards, but four children under 8 is definitely enough for us.  I love the images from Mo Manning, I hope you like what I made with this one.  I rolled the roses from a My Favourite Things Dienamics Die, they were so easy, another new favourite.
