I Need Some Face Time

Oh Happy Sunday! I say this with my tongue in cheek as I have a house full of kids just waking up from a sleep over! Breakfast with my two and their three cousins can be a bit stressful as they each eat a different type of cereal and two of them have celiac disease which means no gluten for them. After breakfast the fun will begin as we head out to the garden for a couple hours before walking thee cousins back home - I figure their mom and dad will enjoy sleeping in.

My card today is actally for my sister-in-law. As soon as I saw the latest release at My FavoriteThings, I knew I had to have it for my sister-in-law who is glued to her iPhone.  I was lucky that Kathy at my local scrapbook store, Scrap and Bean, was just placing an MFT order and was able to add 'a la mode - I Need Some Face Time':

Isn't she gorgeous?  Gloria's favourite colour is blue according to my nieces so I have paired the image with the fabulous new papers from My Mind's Eye - Lime Twist.  This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is 'Girly Girl' so I have added a touch of pink cardstock, pale cream and pink cherry blossoms, lace and a burgundy bow.  The little green curls were actually made by taking the stems off twoof the Wild Orchid flowers and wrapping them around a thin paint brush handle before gently pulling them off.  I have followed this week's sketch from the MFT blog.

I have treated the screen on the iPhone to Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects and coloured this lovely lady with copics.  This time next week I will be buzzed from the Intermediate Copic Certification in Calgary with Sherrie Siemens!  Woo hoo!


Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your 'Girly Girl' creation on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!

I have done the Copic Intermediate course but I would happily do it again with Sherrie. I am so jealous! I love that you have matched the card to suit your sister in law. Fabulous layout - fabulous colouring. Are you sure I cant take your spot in that class?? (he he) Hugs Jenny B x
