Copica

Hello friends! How was your Christmas? I hope you all had a lovely day with your family, eating and relaxing. We had a great Christmas day, we were up early with the boys opening their pressies from Santa and then jumped in the car to visit my family at the coast. We had a lovely morning and yummy lunch, the boys helped Poppy in the veggie garden collecting the veg for lunch, so sweet. They were of course, thoroughly spoilt :o) Then we were back in the car and back towards Canberra to Aunty Wendy's house (hubster's sister) to have Christmas dinner with Jeroen's side of the family. The boys had a great time with the dogs and horses and were served up a great big turkey - YUM! Believe it or not, this is the first actual turkey dinner I've ever had. In Australia we tend to do seafood, cold meat and salad for Christmas dinner, not a hot meal as it is so hot here. Then the boys were showered with more gifts. We were all exhausted after such a huge day, about four hours travelling in the car in total, loads of good food and family. 


A few days ago I finally purchased my first Saturated Canary images. OMG, am I behind or what?! I have been admiring these lovlies for a while but not had a chance to actually buy one, let alone colour one up.  It was really nice to colour something that wasn't red or green! OMG - I am so Christmas carded out! haha. My other excuse for not playing with digi images recently is our printer finally died! It was very old and it just finally ran out of puff. We are now in possession of a fantastic new Canon and it was really nice to be able to print out my image and colour straight away. The old printer I had to fiddle with the ink settings and either dry it with my heat tool or wait a few days - not ideal!

For my first ever Saturated Canary image, I had to have "Copica". I just adore her hair! I was really tempted to put some ink splotches on her clothes, but resisted.  I created the sentiment myself. I also used my new(ish) MFT binder die which I've had for a while but not actually used.... um-mah! Its brilliant btw. And perfect for Copica. 


The papers are Sassafras Lass and all of the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. All of the edges are inked with Vintage photo DI. 

I would like to enter some challenges with my card...
Crafty Cardmakers - Use it 3 times
(I used the one sheet of paper, both sides and the scalloped edge, 3 cherry blossoms)

So that is it from me today... I am about to head over to my Magnolia only blog to announce the winner of my Magnolia anniversary candy... so if you have entered... keep an eye out in the next hour or so - you could be the lucky winner!

I might be a little quiet for the next week or so... I am head down, bum up creating away for the Easter edition of the Magnolia Ink magazine and the deadline is looming... :o) 

So until I am back, enjoy the rest of your holidays! I know I sure will!!
