Happy New Home

Good Sunday Morning, all.
How are you. Up early so I decided I should organize some of my
photos. Do you take photos of card samples? I do! If I get stuck
I just go to my files(when I'M not trolling on line. lol) for
inspiration.

I am invited to a house warming next week. This is the card I made for the host.



Or this one.




I will include a gift card.
I think the image is from Stampin Up. Colored with Copics(natch) The door gave me fits. I like the result on the second card better. Not so blotchy and uneven.

That's all I have for you right now. Thanks for dropping by.
See you soon.

summer solstice

Happy Summer!

It's been super hot here which has made me super lethargic.

Wanted to share a birthday card for my friend Bill.



I think I may have told you how much I like Penny Black's Hedgie images. So much fun to color (Copics).

Anywho...that's all I have for you tonite.

See you soon

Merry Month of June

Hi All.
How's it going? Hope you're having a fabulous Saturday.

I have been cleaning the studio for a couple of weeks now. Progress is slow. I think I'll
complete it this week-end while the temps are in the nineties.
Here are some pics... Hedgie was

Colored with Copics. My daughter suggested glitter for his fur(?) I thought Flower Soft!
He looks even cuter with it!

Felicity and Blair...



This is the layout I finally used.


This next one is another Stamping Bella image...posie pixie.
A lot of fun but not a lot to color. Luv her hair.




Break is over. I have been cleaning/re-arranging the linen closet, literally, all morning. I took stuff to the garage, to the attic and cleaned out a drawer of the file cabinet. Tossed bunches
of old magazines, manuals(for items I havent had in years) and I'll be looking for a re-cycling
center offering shredding services.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. LOL

See you soon

Sunny Saturday

Hi, All!
How are you?
Everything here is good. I'm so excited I won eight digital images from  "Little Miss Muffet" Stamps. My name/blog was drawn because I had their blinkie. How easy was that!?
                  
I'll have to start working on 'em so I can post what I've done. They are really cute...from their build a critter collection. A bear, squirrel, dog, skunk?, angel wings.

I have been busy playing around with my Copics (what else is new?) Here are some photos.


I was too lazy to set up my lightbox so the picture is dark:) The image is
from Stamping Bella" I followed Heather's water coloring tutorial. She is so good.
I love the way she talks...sort of down home/folksy. I always feel like a "real" artist
when I follow her.




Another Stamping Bella image from Heather using Copics. That's something else
I like about Heather...she does both Copic and watercolor. This is a card I'm working
on. Sometimes if I can't quite get the layout together I take pictures to give me an
idea of what works and what does'nt. I like this layout but still not sure about the DP?

I'll post some more pictures tomorrow!

Have a nice evening.
