Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I wanted to share with you the beautiful card my 11 yr old son, Josh, made for me!  He snuck into my craft room and chose this sweet fairy from CC Designs (it was already stamped out)!!  He used my copics to colour - wasn't he lucky - and I think he did a fabulous job with them!!!  I have to say I rather love my blue-haired fairy - so unusual,  although I personally think he has been heavily influenced by the movie AVATAR!!

I got showered with beautiful handmade cards and gifts from my boys this morning and then we all helped and made pancakes together for breakfast!  It's been a wonderful day so far - so much better than the weather, that's for sure!  Can you believe we actually had a sprinkling of snow overnight, brrrr!  I sure hope this crazy weather brightens up and Mr Sunshine comes back to us soo!

Well, I wish you all a wonderful Mother's Day for those who are celebrating and if not, hope your weekend has been an enjoyable one!

Sunday Spotlight!

Hello everyone!

My son, Josh, was quite taken with all the comments he received from you guys on his first card posting that he's decided he wants a regular 'spot' on my blog! So, we've decided on a 'Sunday Spotlight' when he has a card done and ready to post.

So with that said, he made this christmas Edwin card last weekend. I introduced him to masking and we masked Edwin onto this santa sack. He was quite taken with the masking technique and loved the end result. He coloured with Derwent watercolour pencils. The paper is from Daisy D's and the glitter snowflake is from stash. He stamped the Magnolia sentiment in red ink and cut around it.

Josh has decided this card will be for his teacher (I love that - one less card for me to make, lol!!).

Thanks for stopping by today and taking the time to look at my son's work. His smile got bigger each time he read the comments last time so thank you for that - it truly was so special to see him beaming! Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Cute Card Thursday - Teen Terrors!

Hi there!

A quick posting tonight to show this card off. My 11 year old son, Josh, made this card for his best buddy who suffered quite an eye injury a couple of days ago (he tripped and slammed into a tree). He coloured Ian with watercolour pencils - take note of his left eye!!! LOL.
The papers are distressed and Josh added these arrows and star from a scrapbooking set of embellishments. The sentiment 'A Special Guy' is from the 'My Guy Ian' set by The Greeting Farm. As this weeks challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is 'Teen Terrors', we decided to enter this card in. Josh was thrilled with his finished card. I know he would certainly love to read your comments (so would I). I think he did a fantastic job, but I am somewhat biased, hee hee!!

So, thanks again for visiting! I hope you enjoy a great evening.
Hugs,
