an Irish coleen

Morning girls
It's another frosty one here but if the past couple of days are anything to go by it should turn out bright enough even if a bit on the cold side.  We can wrap up warm against the chill eh?  
I'm still searching high and low for Mr Mojo, if you find him can you please send him back.  I'm really struggling at the moment, inspiration is not my friend:(

Anyway, it's challenge time over on Inky Impressions and this week we've a theme of...
THE LUCK OF THE IRISH
The Robins Nest are sponsoring us for the whole of March.  
We got some gorgeous dew drops from them to use on our cards and some fab rub ons too.
So, as the challenge over on I-copic this week is to colour red hair my little cutie has become
an Irish coleeen:)



I was a wee bit stumped with this one, then I remembered Lilli's chalkboard . Perfect for a good luck sentiment which I made on the pc then trimmed to fit snuggly inside her board, and this lovely Irish poem which is also available on dig from the store.  I coloured her up with copics, keeping her skin pale and had a bash at auburn hair although the jury is still out on that one.
Papers are Ally's Wonderland, dew drops from Robin's Nest, die cuts are K & Co available from Michellflo and the ribbon is from me stash.
So, there's my effort girls.  I do hope you'll play along:)

dance like no one is watching

Hi girls
I've not posted for over a week and here I am with two cards in one day.  My son is still not great so am looking after him and not getting much time for crafting.  Mr Mojo is on the run anyway so it don't matter much but I did manage, by the skin of my teeth, to get my Totally Papercrafts dt card done.
Our theme this week is
SONG AND DANCE
sponsored by

and he's me effort

Excuse the rubbish pic, I'd to take this indoors due to our horrible weather so it's a bit on the dark side.
Anyway, this little ballerina and her ballet slippers are from Sparkle n Sprinkle.  I've coloured her with copics, the intention was to add some stickles to her tutu but guess who forgot??  The papers I found in me bits box but I think they're DCWV.  Pearls from Inky Impressions, ribbon and flowers from me stash.
Remember to pop over to the challenge blog for bucket loads of inspiration.  Although some of me teamies haven't been able to get their cards on this week those that have have done a fabulous job.
Right, I've a hundred and one things to get done this morning, so toodle pip and thanks for stopping by.

Morning girls
I've my Polka Doodles card to show you this morning as there's a nice new challenge starting today and it's easy peasy too so hopefully you'll play along.
SPOTS AND.OR STRIPES
Told you it was easy didn't I?
So what do you think of this little fella? 


He's one of the new images from the Candy Doodles Collectors Edition.
I've used one of the wee ticket sentiments also available on the cd but I think he's perfect for Easter, Mother's Day or just a birthday card.  That's what's so great about Nikki's cd's they're so versatile.  
I coloured as always with copics but felt when I'd finished that he looked a wee bit lost so I added some grass and sky to create a bit more of a scene.
The papers are from Pretty Tuff, flowers and lace from me stash and I've also used the Marianne Designs Lavender die also available from Polka Doodles.
So, that's my effort girls, don't forget to pop by the challenge blog for loads of inspiration from my lovely teamies and of course play along.
Thanks for stopping by
