Cosie's Creative Corner

Happy Birthday Smiles The theme this week is circles and how could you go wrong with a circle card.  Well you can if you don't have something big enough to cut out the large circles. I water coloured these lovely  birds from Penny Black  then realised my spellbinders circle dies weren't big enough. Thought I would have to trace around something then hand cut them out when I remembered my old Creative Memories circle cutters. The trouble was it took me ages to find them and I was seriously thinking of starting again when I found them. So much for the quick card I thought I was making. The PP I found, when looking for the cutters, I liked better than the one I had picked out but it must be at least 10 years old and has no name on it so don't know who it's from. The smile stamp is from   Simon Says Stamp s and the happy birthday from Winnie & Walter that I combined to make the sentiment. It's a wonder my quick card ever made it to the finish line but I...

Cupcake Counting Calories Was having a clean up so I had more space to work on my desk and came across this cupcake that I had printed out. I have a box that sits next to my printer and I tend to just keep adding all my scraps, things I plan to do etc. but nevet get round to. It hasn't been emptied for a while and it was full of some cool things and this was one of them. Don't know where I got it and who the artist is so I am thanking you if you reconise your work. I dragged out my Prisma colour pencils and had fun colouring it up. It's a nice change to copics and love the layered effect. When it was done knew it was perfect for the Outlawz's Monday Challenge . The sentiment is computer generated and I have a friend that will love it. The PP is from Fancypants Designs 6x6 pad called Beach Babe.  Here is a close-up of the layers as it was hard to see them on the card

Tic Tac Toe Amazing you Had a lovely couple of days with my youngest daughter and no crafting, surfing the web, or mobile phone. I am the only one in the family that seems to be able to live for a few days without them and it is so relaxing. If I miss something then it was ment to be, friends will always ring back and the world doesn't end. I did manage to finish one challenge when I got back home and it's for a friends birthday.  I used the centre panel across from the tic tac toe diagram. I love the sentiment Amazing You from a Hostess set Express Yourself from SU and it fits her to a tee. I stamped an image from the Moulin Divas-Belle Femme by Kanban and coloured her with my copics. The embossing folder is cuttlebug plum blossom 2 from Provo Craft and the die is Honeypot from Couture Creations.  Copics:  Skin: E50,51,R20, 29. Hair: E17,19. Hat/dress: R08,27,C3,7. Gloves: C0,3,7. Background: C0,1,3. Having fun with adding dots to the background...
