A Special Lacy Sunshine Card

Challenge #10 on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog is celebrating a very special occasion as it's the first anniversary since Heather created Eleanor and Pickles. In honour of this Heather is offering a fabulous prize for the winner; she has put all of her gorgeous Eleanor and Pickles digis onto a CD. That's over 90 images! Only entries using a Lacy Sunshine hand coloured image will be entered into the draw for this amazing prize. If you don't have one, Heather is offering a freebie on the Challenge Blog.
The theme for all our challenges is "Anything Goes" but every entry must feature a hand coloured digi. There will also be Top Three chosen winners who will receive beautiful blog badges and a GDT spot up for grabs. For a full set of rules please visit the Challenge Blog.
I hope you've guessed that I didn't actually make this card. It was my 5 year old grandson, Bailey. He loves colouring Heather's images, especially Eleanor and Pickles. I was making my "Eleanor Blue Ribbon Pie" DT card and he asked to make a card for his Mummy.


I printed "Eleanor and Pickles Back to School" digi directly onto an A5 card blank and he got his colouring pencils out. I gave him my die-cut leftovers and and the 1st badge that I decided not to use. The sentiment is entirely his own effort - he is learning to spell phonetically at school - but I'm sure you can tell what it is.


This is such a cute image with Pickles hitching a ride in Eleanor's bag. Bailey tried so hard to be neat and put quite a bit of thought into his colour choices. He was wondering if Pickles had snuck into Eleanor's bag or if she knew he was there? And whether Pickles could write with the pencil in his mouth? 


I hope you'll join in with our celebrations for Eleanor and Pickles. Challenge # 10 runs until Saturday 22nd June. Please visit the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog to see how to get a free Heather Valentin digi. We also have a Facebook group where you can come and join in some fun, get sneak peeks and share your crafty creations.
There are so many fantastic digis for everyone in the Lacy Sunshine Storeso pop on over there and take a look, new ones are added nearly everyday.

  11. Wow, that colouring is very good for a 5 year old, and he's made a nice choice of colours. It looks as if he'll be a serious crafter or artist when he grows up.

  19. Bailey can come colour my images in! He is a talented little fella, must run in the family ;-)

    Diet is going ok thanks. Lost a total of 15lbs so far. I struggle as I have my mental Health issues, as well as an eating disorder. It's all trial and error.... As long as its coming off I don't mind how slowly.
