Kenny K's Handyman

Hello everyone!I'm on a roll...4 cards so far this month!!! I have finally dedicated some time to doing what I really love.
Today I showcase a birthday card I made for my husband, Patrick. He has his own painting business and is also a very good handyman. I thought the Kenny K Handyman digi was so him. I'm also into dies at the moment and couldn't wait to use the apron and tools from Marianne Design. I wish I had a pegboard die but since I didn't, I made my own.

Resting Dude

Hi again! This is a first for me...2 posts in one week!
I'm finally allowing the creativity to flow and making time for something I love so much.
Today's card is for a friend's 20th Birthday. I always look for digital images that in some way reminds me of the person I'm making the card for. Well this guy is really good with computers and I found this digi stamp 'Resting Dude' from Sans Design. I've never coloured such a big scene and was a little scared to add sky and clouds so I left it white. Maybe next time I'll give it a go. I've signed up for Alyce's skin and hair class which I know will help me improve my colouring.

Happy Birthday Destiny!!!

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter break :) I love holidays but the problem is...they go too quick!
My card today is for a special young lady who is turning 18. Destiny is currently doing a photography course and when I stumbled across this digital image, it reminded me so much of her. It even looks a bit like her. So of course I just had to buy this digi stamp called 'Jess taking pictures' from Jess College Fund and I'm also entering her into their challenge. The theme is 'Favourite Embellishment'. 

Embellishment

A decorative detail or feature added to something to make it more attractive.
