Inspired... at last!

Yoo Hoo!! hope you are all well - gosh can't believe its's been a week since my last post!! Had problems with a missing mojo, lack of inspiration (don't know how when I see lots of lovely makes on other blogs!!) and never owning quite the right thing - lol - my hubby thinks thats an excuse to buy more - yeah - he could be right!!

Anyhoo, I've had a little potter on this afternoon and finally got my boys Christmas cards finished - I have had them coloured in for most of the week but couldn't decide on the layouts and papers.

I was lucky enough to win a commenters candy over at Mina's lovely blog if you've not been there pop over and check out her gorgeous makes. I have used one of the lovely papers she sent me straight away for this one:

Tom loves Phineas & Ferb, so I googled free colouring pages and found this one, coloured with pro-markers. I am in love with Fonts 101 where I was able to find this Disney font and then punched some small snowflakes from the same paper that I have put the image on - I am really pleased with how it turned out. When I started this an easel card never even entered my head - lol. I am not going to enter this into any challenges as I am not sure if you are able to use the disney images on cards - but I suppose if they didnt want you to use them they wouldnt put them on the net??? (p.s. just so you dont think I've lost my marbles it is meant to say Perry Christmas - in case you haven't seen the show thats the name of the platypus!)

On to the next one - oops been shopping in Bugaboo again - feel I might need to go again before their 50% off ends.



I have coloured Harry with promarkers - again I was stumped on what to use paper wise but then remembered I had this lovely rich red colour that matches the colour in Harrys scarf I then added the Gold ribbon which was a freebie with the Do Crafts magazine last year - again to bring out the gold in his scarf. Fonts 101 to the rescue with this Spell font which I have paper torn. (It looks a bit better in real life - lol )

I would like to enter this into :
