Happy Birthday Rayah

Just a quick post with a birthday card that is for our friend's little girl, Rayah, who is turning 4 ...


Rayah's Mum & Dad are Isabella's God Parents and while we don't get to see them as much as we would like to since they moved we still love them all to bits ...

I bought this Pollycraft digi image "Sydney Rodeo" ages ago and have never coloured her! I was checking The Outlawz for their challenges and came across a challenge "Wild Wild West ... Show us some country western style" so I just had to colour her!

Now Rayah is a pinky girly girl so I had to colour her in pinks and browns (coz all cowgirls/boys wear some sort of brown lol!)  I also made a promise to myself that I would use only 'scraps' and things that I've had lying around for ever ... the newest thing on the card are the WOC flowers and the digi stamp (both bought in first half of 2011) and the oldest would be the paper that I've had in my 'scraps' pouch for well over 18m to 2yrs (that's how long it's been since I scrapped and the patterned paper is leftover from a layout) ... whew!  So I couldn't believe it when I saw that Card Makin' Mamas had a challenge "Something Old" where you had to use things that were at least 6m old!

Hope you like it, thanks for looking and until next time
Ciao
Julie

Paper:  SU! CS, PP from scraps/stash

    Hi Julie,
    Thank you so much for the visit to my blog & all the lovely things you said. I appreciate it. I have just been looking over your blog & your designs..you are doing pretty good too girlfriend :) Your colouring is great & the colours you have used for this particular design is spot on! I'm alot like you, cos I am doing everything I can to use my scraps & oldie stash :) I tend to dig into all the new stuff but since New Year I have promised myself to use at least 2 items from the Oldie stash lol. So far, so good :)

    Anyway, just wanted to say that I live on the Central Coast. Near Woy Woy actually (just a few train stops from Gosford). When I saw that you're from Newcastle..I was like wow lol. Not very often you find people with their blogs that live so close :) Just wanted to let you know :)
    Well, I had better go otherwise your comment book is gonna get full lol. Thanks for applying for my blog candy. Got my fingers crossed for ya :) Take care & stay in touch if you like.
    Hugs
