Coffee?

Hello.

I had forgotten how much I love this image - Luv A Latte (sadly not available at Funky Kits) but she was one of Krista's original Simply Sassy images. Now I've rediscovered her I might use her again soon!  I wanted to use her as I recently bought the coffee cup die and last week while we were away I got the coffee sentiment stamp!

City Girl

Oooh it's a very long time (well, it feels like it anyway since I used a Sugar Nellie stamp) but I made this for an 18th birthday at the weekend.  I just couldn't decide what stamp to use and I had started colouring in another image while I was at the Crafty Cabin but it just wasn't working for me and Cass suggested using one of the Simply Sassy images and this one jumped out and hit me in the face and said "use me"... well, not quite but it did speak to me more than the original choice did!

I coloured her in with my pens and cut her out using one of the 5x7 Nesties, added some swirls and some bling and she was done. I was trying to get an 18 on there too but I think that would have been a step too far.

Oh I'm getting old...

Maybe one day I will look back and laugh but.....

The other day I was asked to make a 16th birthday card which had Drake on it. No, I've no clue who he is either, but I figured a duck wasn't going to feature on the card.

So I Googled some images, found one and printed it off and created this card. All well? Well, no. After the card had been handed over I emailed a photo of it to my friend Lorraine and said, "here's the Usher card" (no, I have no clue who he is either)... she emailed me back and said "you said it was Drake"......

The air was blue can I tell you! I text in a panic but was assured the birthday girl liked Usher too. I have seen a photo of her holding the card and she did look very happy (although they did actually manage to get a photo of Drake and put it on the card) 

Now, where did I get Usher from?!? Answers on a postcard please!

Life on the Edge

of my seat!  Been watching the Showjumping this afternoon. Team GB were in a jump off against the Netherlands and they came out on top!! Fantastic, another gold.

I should be fit by the end of these Olympics, all these different sports ;)

Oh and just as a wee aside, we watched the 100m final last night and once it was finished Scott declared that he was going to have Usain Bolt's record.... So, the Olympics 2024 then? I should add that yesterday morning he was going to be a hurdler.

On to today's card - this is a card I did for my friend's niece. He requested auburn hair and after consultation with my lovely friend Cathy this is what I came up with. He declared it was perfect and said that I had surpassed myself with the card. Another happy customer, so I'm very happy too.
