First Day At School!

Here are two quick cards that I've made using the fab Jellypark image Boy With Sign and coloured them with Promarkers.  The card on the left I've made the little boy look like he has curly hair, just like the recipient!

Handwriting by Samuel and the papers are all from the A to Z Mega Pack by Samantha Walker.  I had to be creative with the backing papers as I didn't have enough hence the border at the bottom!

My two start back at school on Monday and both will be in Juniors although Jacob has looked like he should be in Juniors since he started school as he's tall and mature for his age (when it suits!)  I'm looking forward to them going back to school so I can have a day a week working from home thus not really needing to get dressed!

Die Cuttin' Diva's Guest Designer - Back To School

I was selected some time ago to be a future Guest Designer on Die Cuttin' Diva's and that time has now come!  The challenge theme is:

Back To School

And here is my sample!  I've used the fab Jellypark image and coloured him with Promarkers.  Jacob wrote the sentiment on the front and the card is for one of his classmates younger brother who starts school in September.

I've used some papers that I found in my stash and then added Sizzix die cut pencils, X cut stars and a Sizzix Girls are Weird die cut letter A.

Some faux stitching around the edges and the card is complete!  Thanks to Die Cuttin' Diva's for asking me to be a Guest Designer!

Jellypark Challenge - Give Thanks

It's time for a new Jellypark challenge and the theme for the fortnight is:

Give Thanks

Which is quite apt as my two finish school next Friday for 7 (yep!) weeks!  I've used one of my favourite Jellypark images - Boy With Sign.  He's been coloured with Promarkers and then Jacob handwrote the sentiment in the centre - I actually have made 4 cards but couldn't get the 4th one in on the photo as it didn't look placed correctly!  All four are for his favourite teachers (and one for the Headmaster!) and the boy actually looks quite like Jacob in his school uniform!

The papers are from Samantha Walker - A to Z mega kit and I've added some long forgotten and languishing card candy.  And then to finish it off, I tied some embroidery thread in a bow around the top.  I didn't want the card to be too fussy as I was making 4 of them plus I like the image too much!

There are 3 new releases too from Jellypark and all thank you and school themed!  I'll be blogging those (and the two new releases from a fortnight ago as I forgot to blog them!) over the weekend and early next week!

Jellypark Stamp Spotlight & Freebie! Girl with Sign & Boy with Sign

I've got two cards to share with you today - the first one - Girl With Sign - is our Jellypark Stamp Spotlight, and the second one - Boy With Sign - is the freebie on the Jellypark Club!  But be quick!  The digi freebie is not around for a long time, and if you join up right now, there is a fab 50% off code that you can use across the store but its only available for a short short time - so be quick!!

I've coloured both images with Promarkers and then cut them out.  I've handwritten the sentiments too - the girl one is for a friend at work and her youngest, Grace, has started school this time - I remember seeing her for the first time when she was 2 days old!!  Her uniform is yellow hence the yellow theme!

And the Boy with Sign is the current Jellypark Club freebie (if you're quick!) and Claire actually drew the image for me some time ago as I wanted a boy one - lucky me eh?!  I've used one of my circle Nestie dies to layer the images on and then added a thin handcut border.

Papers are from a Samantha Walker kit - A to Z Mega collection (I got it in the $1 sale!) and I've cut up different elements for the top and bottom borders.  A bit of inking and some faux stitching and its all done!

Hurry - get over to Jellypark and sign up for the club if you've not already done so!  Fab freebies await plus discount codes too!
