BIRTHDAY

This is another card that is cutting it pretty close due to the printer issues that I had late July/early August.  I'm pleased to have a working printer again but it has taken me quite a while to catch up on everything.

This card uses a digital paper that I have had for some time and not found the perfect time to use it.  It works so well with the August image from Beccy's Place.

I have used a digital paper from Beccy's Place.  The image and sentiment are also from Beccy's Place.  I added a doily under the image (because I always put a coaster or doily underneath a drink when I place it on a table).  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.

Just Because

After having printer issues for 3-4 weeks late July/August, I'm running rather behind with all my monthly projects.  I am pleased that I'm submitting this with a few hours left until the end of the month.

This will probably be the last of the Gecko Galz Challenges that I am able to complete this month as I can't see me finishing the ATC Challenge in time.

Live Out Loud

So far, the thunderstorms haven't reached where I live but they are still saying that we will have them later in the day.  It still isn't the sort of day to be outside so I have been working on some of my creations.

Once again, it is getting close to the end of the month and none of my projects for the Gecko Galz Monthly challenges have been uploaded.  I did start this post a few days ago but haven't managed to get back to it since.

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The image is from Digital Doodling and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  Colouring is with copic markers and inking is with Distress Ink.
