Not quite sure where the time has gone. Lots of stuff put on the back burner these past few months but think I’m getting to a place where I can once again spend time doing some of the things I so enjoy - cardmaking and blogging being a couple of those things.
Nurse Gillian is a digital stamp available from Prairie Fairy Designs. I colored her with Copics and for sure this cheerful little nurse will bring a smile. I’m wondering about her thoughts - needle in one hand and bedpan in the other - seems she’s having a little too much fun! I’ve touched up her glasses with glossy accents and since taking this photo, I’ve also given her tiny pearl earrings.
Sadie is a digital stamp from Mo Manning. I’ve colored her with Copics as well and again - after the picture was taken - given her tiny pearl earrings. Love this image and had so much fun coloring her up.
I am now selling my cards locally. These are both 5.5″ square cards and sell for $2.50 apiece.

Day Two and the blizzard warning continues though I do believe we must be on the tail end of the storm. Winds are still gusting to 120, however, and I see the occasional patch of blue. For the past two days it’s been whiteouts (with winds gusting to 143 km) so that little splash of color is a much welcome sight. Surely tomorrow things will return to normal. I have, at least, been productive with the cards.
My favorite uses a digital image from Teddy Bo and Company . Only just discovered this site and know I’ll go back. Colored both images with Copic Markers: E30, E51, E33, R20, (bear) R59, (heart) E18, E27,(boots) E13, (button) E18, E27, (hat) E11, E13, E19, (hat band) E34 E35, E37, R59, (dresss) E0000, E000, E40 (envelope). Used Stampin’ Up stamps for the sentiments. My lacklustre skills with the camera hardly do them justice. They are gorgeous!
This one opens in the center.
Also used Maurice from Pollycraft. Isn’t he darling? Even in his skivvies! Just realized I hadn’t finished coloring his pants. Will fix that after this post.
And inside,
Also put Maurice on this Father’s Day card - no undies here.
Inside: Happy Father's Day to the World's Greatest Dad
Had a couple stamped images lying about already colored from the Gina K stamp set Just Be-Claws. The first is a Valentine, the second, a note card.
Inside: I think I'm in love. Happy Valentine's Day.
The following two use the digital image Super Genius from KennyK. I’ll personalize these as need be with a white gel pen - the first is a Get Well card; the second most likely a card for teacher. Any suggestions for the sentiments?
Mummu, a digital image from Mo Manning, is one of my all time favroites and I use it frequently in cards for seniors.
Another image from KennyK.
Inside: It's her birthday!
The digital image Pizza Chef is from Sassy Cheryl’s
Inside: You have a pizza my heart!
This last one uses a freebie I’ve had for quite some time. Sorry I can’t remember the source.
Sammy celebrated his first birthday yesterday. I didn’t get down to see him because of the storm but he had his party on Saturday and that I did get to. Here he is digging into his own special little cake, courtesy of Aunt Danita.
And in this one, the party’s over and it’s time to go home. Sam is chillin’ at the door waiting to go home while his Mom cleans up.
And here they are: my beautiful family.
Have a great day! Until next time,
Jean
