ABC - J is for Just As You Like

Good Morming to all my blogland friends :)

This week I'm feeling better and trying to get way ahead on all my DT cards.

I expect to have at least 7 finished by the end of the week (maybe lol)

This weeks challenge at ABC is the letter J and the theme is "JUST AS YOU LIKE"

Our fab sponsors for this challenge is

So hop on over and show us your stuff!!

The card I chose to do this week is for a very special friend of mine who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 26, she is now in remission but her fight was not an easy one.  Between chemo and radiation, she lost not only her breast and hair, but her self esteem so what better image to use for her card than a Simply Betty girl from her Boudoir line.

I just love this image, she is so beautiful and that is the message I want to send to my dear friend.

The image is coloured with my prisma pencils and I wanted to make her glamorous so I glamour dusted her dress, used shiny pink paper for the backing and softened her up with flowers. 

I added a small pink ribbon. I just wanted a subtle breast cancer symbol because I wanted the focus to be on the message. 

I just love how she turned out and I hope you do too!

GDT for Crafting By Designs

Well it has been a very stressful week here for me. I ended up in the ER to find out that I have to have my gall bladder removed, so i'm just waiting on the call for surgery.. yayyyy me lol... I've never had surgery before so this is a bit unnerving. The good news though is that during my recovery I will have lots of time to craft since I won't be allowed to do anything else lol

Well enough about that... onto my card!

Back in february, I entered a challenge with my "Monochromatic Girly Card" and was chosen by Crafting By Designs as a GDT, I'm so excited that these talented ladies liked my card and ask me.

I hope they like this one too!

The image I chose for this card is by Dilly Beans, I just love their quirky images :)

I coloured her with my Prisma Pencils and this time I did some chalking which I have not done in a very long time. 

The theme for this challenge is Lace and Doilies so as you can see, that is what I used.

I wanted a vintage distressed look so i did some distressing with my Tim Holtz Tea Dye, added some pearls, flowers, burlap and a pocket watch for a trinket.

I love how this card turned out and hope you do too :)

I just love these images, they are easy and fun to colour :)

I did a Birthday card as it's SOMEONE'S birthday this weekend. so go wish Kerri a Happy Birthday over at her blog :) 

I used my Prisma Pencils and my trusty Silhouette, glamour dusted her cupcake sprinkles and made my very first Chalkboard greeting complete with white chalk rubbed on... Yay Me! lol

Now I don't know what possessed me to use this colour combination but i'm sooooo happy with the way it turned out. Who knew that Olive, Turquoise and Black would match so well?! lol
