Ribbon, twine or floss

Morning and hello people of the world! How are you this wonderful morning? Hope everything is fine and you have a long lovely day ahead of you. Myself will spend the day in school trying to finish off another part of my logistic class, by kids have a day off from school, they call it a Study Day, but my boys has to be on their "recreational care" the whole day instead half day. Spent last night in a parenting meeting with the parents from Philips class. Felt that everything they said was to me as I have been quiet hard on them. I get that way when some one is mean to my kid.

Oh well, this is my second posting this week. Are you getting bored of me yet? Have to warn you, I still have two postings left this week. :)

My card then, well lets start with our theme first and that is Ribbon, twine or/and floss for this week. I have had this little cutie coloured up for quite some time now, well actually since it first came to the store. I wanted to use it for another challenge at first but decided this was the one. Mr Happy knight here was just what I need for a this card. I have to make two more as it is a trippel party for Willy on Friday. I manage even if it will be tight! Anyway back to the card. The image is coloured wiht my Letraset markers and paired up with some dps from First Edition. Kind of spring feeling to them, but I happen to like blue, brown and green togehter so here we go.


As the card is for a guy, it doesn't have many details to it. At least not in first sight. But there is a net ribbon, a normal satain ribbon coloured with my distress markers and there is some twine as well. Also added is a few buttons, some card candy, a carm and a little plack with a sentiment will also be added there.

As always when we're having a challenge over at the Paper Shelter we have a gift voucher up for a lucky winner using a TPS image. It's worth $30. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choise. Nice prizes right?!

Anyway, this will be all from today, well I will get my photo in there as well but it got to dark to take a good photo last night, so I have to do it in the morning and I am not sure I have the time for it. We'll see.

Also take a look over at the Paper Shelter blog, we are currently holding a DT-call and there is still a few more spots that we need to fill. Maybe you are the crafter we are looking for. You need to be able to colour amazingly and your photos should be kind of perfect, if you are that person. Hurry up and apply! We are a great team to be on.

Love n hugs
Marie

Hi Marie, thank you so much for all your hard work last week covering for me, Im now trying to catch up with all my paperwork and commenting, hopefully by the end of the day I will feel I have achieved something.
Sorry to hear that your son is having such a hard time at School its very difficult to know how to deal with it, it can make the child start to worry about going to School, I do hope that you manage to sort it out.
Hugs Shirleyxx

Cute card, Marie! Great colouring of that sweet Happy Knight and fab paper choices too!
I hope that things get sorted with your little man's school and that he still enjoys going, it is such a relief when they like going to school! My youngest has just started in the school in the next village as they shut our village one this Summer - he says it's not the same but it just takes time to adjust! Hugs, Lisa x

I am looking at cards and stopped here to admire this one. I love the brown and green combination and it is very fitting for the image! This image is so cute...his face has such a beautiful shape and his features are wonderful. And then you colored him and he looks alive! What a wonderful coloring you have done! I love the papers and the little details are what catch my attention. The charm...OMGosh Marie, this charm is just perfect. The lace, twine, the little metal looking brad style embellishments in the corners, the sentiment diecut...they are all perfect on this card. This is fabulous. What a wonderful card! Hugs, Gail
