Copic Challenge 28was to use E47, BG23, R85 but I only had one of these colours which is E47 so I also used B12,B23 and R27. I had to make another male birthday card so again I used the bear stamp but this time he is a golfer, the bear is such a versatile stamp this is why I enjoy using it.
For the Papertake Sketch 22, I have followed this sketch to design a birthday card for my husband’s mate who is also a volunteer at the same heritage railway. This time I made the bear out to be a signalman, I added the waistcoat stamp and modified the hat to suit it. I coloured the stamped images using copic pens, YG63, G21, BV23, C7 and R11.
I have been asked to make a 1st birthday card, so I have designed it so I can enter Copic Challenge 26. The copic pens I used are BG05,B05,R59,G14,G99,R00 which where great colours to work with as the card is for a boy. The bear and balloons image is from Daisy & Dandelion stamps and I have coloured the wood number 1 with the coordinating copic pen. To make this is even more special I have continued to decorate the inside, to create a memorable card.

The Easter Bunny takes the train
I am organizing the Easter Egg Treasure Hunt at our local heritage railway station, Midsomer Norton South. The event will consist of a number of written clues, which will lead the children to different areas of the station where the answers can be found. The last clue will lead them to the buffet coach where they will receive their Easter egg and easter snack. The coach is going to be decorated with Easter bunnies and eggs that I have made using my cricut machine and other crafting accessories.
Picture for my mum
Sometimes I like to paint and lately I have been experimenting with using acrylics on canvas. My first attempt was a picture of two poppies, when my mum saw it she asked me to do a flower design for her. She saw a flower she liked, I said leave it to me I will see what I can do. So this is what I achieved.
I live just outside Bath, Somerset and have two daughters. My eldest Zoe is 27 and has three children, and my other daughter Natalie is 25 and is planning to get married next year.
I am a voluntary worker at a Heritage railway station in Midsomer Norton, where I help in the buffet coach, attend events and potter around in the gardens. My husband has built the signal box, so I am involved in that too.
In the mornings when my husband gets up for work Pepper just stays asleep, as soon as I get up all hell brakes loose. She ‘s jumping around brings me one of her teddy’s, this continues until I feed her. Then she decides to start all over again only this time its for me to take her out for a walk or a drag as the case might be for me, although she is 6 years old she still acts like a puppy. Then for most of the day she is happy so I can get on with making cards.. Mind you I cannot grumble she tries to be helpful – she gets the post, takes the peg bag outside for me, wants to carry things in from the car when I have done shopping and even brings me my slippers. Could not ask for a better companion.
