What does a train say when it's sick?

Sharing a card I made for my friend's daughter who is battling Leukemia.

I am hosting  card drive for her until December 20th.  

Includes great prizes like a custom blog design, and several gift certificates!

You can find the information HERE or simply click on her photo on my sidebar.

The card features Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum" train.

I colored it with Copics and cut it out.

I found the silly joke online. I hope it brings a smile to her face!

Yep, those are pieces of a cotton ball for the steam:

The punchline:

Supplies:
Stamps by Lawn Fawn
Striped paper from Echo Park's "Be Mine" collection
Other: Copics, glitter, brads, Spellbinders Wonky Rectangle Die

Polaroid Birthday Card

Been busy here at our house.

My husband and I ripped all the shelving out of our master closet then patched, painted and rehung new shelving this weekend.  SO much more functional.

I am still working on the 16 scrapbook pages (8 for each child) 

from our vacation last summer.

The basics are completed, just need to embellish a bit.  

Nothing to write home about, just simple pages to remember the trip.

Made little progress on my 3 dimensional art project for our bedroom.

Bought the wrong paper, ran out of spray paint, ran out of glue sticks, ran out of motivation, 

yadda yadda

Anyway, sharing a card I made this morning.  

Lots if birthdays coming in October so I need to stock up!

 The sentiments are supposed to mimic a flash going off...

Ok so this is my first attempt at coloring with Copics.

I won 40 of the Copic Ciao markers from Kathy's blog giveaway.

I admit I did not review any videos prior to coloring.

If you know of some good ones, please link me up.

I think it is *ok* for my first go at it.  
Maybe looks better from a distance, hee hee
