Hi all! Another card, it is either feast or famine in this house! This is a wallet card, unremarkable on the front, but cute as a button inside! The image was downloaded from e-magination digital stamps, I love their images! The star is from HOTP brad buddies, and I colored Dad (who is really my son and granddaughter) w/copics and pencils. I think after my colored pencil class, I might take a photography course, I am picture deficient! I'm entering this into The Outlawz main challenge, and their website is here~~one of the prizes is a custom made blog banner by Marti Wills, but there are TONS of GC's as well! I have two more "Dads" I have to make cards for, so bear with me! Have a great night!

Good afternoon everyone! Well, this is an engagement card I made for a dear friend's daughter~~how fun~! I colored the image w/Prisma Pencils, and used SB to frame it. I'm taking the Colored Pencil II class from Marti Wills at Color Me Creative, and I have really learned some great techniques! I know copics are the "in" way to color, but for an inexpensive alternative, you cannot beat pencils! Anyway this is being entered into:
The Outlawz: Greeting Card. They are having a wonderful giveaway, if you need to check it out go Here
I've noticed that a few companies are dropping off the radar, and their challenges are as well! Has anyone else see this?? Oh well, only the strong survive I guess! Happy Monday1

Well, I don't have company, so I have no excuse for being absent other than it is HOT!!!!! I made this today for a few challenges:
Copic Creations (Distress)
FlowerSoft 30 (Summer Colors)
The Outlawz (Greeting Card)
Paper Sundae (Sentiment)
Impression Obsession (Let's Hear it for the Boys)
The stamp is "Window Box H1741" by IMPRESSION/OBSESSION (http://impression-obsession.com)
 The Outlaws are having a par-teeeee! They have some outstanding prizes, so check it out  Here Thanx for stopping by, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

I'm baaaaack! Jeesh, I've had company FOREVER! Anyway, no one wants to be in FL during the summer, so now I will wait until they all visit again next Jan.!
This card was a really unique fold, but because I am seriously lacking in the photography dept. I tried taking two. I don't think the pics do it justice however. If anyone is interested, it is called 5X7 Triangle fold, and you can pull it up on Photobucket.
Image is by Mo Manning, copics w/pencil shading and nesties, bling and grommets~~Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy Tuesday!
Question: When does a card STOP being fun and START being stressful! Answer: When you have folded it 50 times! LOL~~I didn't do it quite that many, but it did give me fits after awhile. Anyway, if you want to see what this fold is supposed to look like (this is not it!) then Google "Diamond Fold + YouTube." The woman gives fabulous directions but somehow my brain  was not receiving. In spite of the fact it looks like the stealth bombler waiting for its next flight, I decided to roll with it, because 1) I was tired, and 2) I NEVER waste paper.  I'm entereing this into CMC Challenge, coloring metal.
I hope everyone has a great week, I'm starting on Easter cards (this is the third one) so I shall be posting again on the weekend~~hugs to everyone who needs them, and to those who don't!

Soooooooooo, I have 15 (yes, count'm FIFTEEN) followers! I'm really excited (it's the little things these days!) Anyway, I am also excited because (drum roll.......) I got my first blog award! So here are the details:

First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you to Tracy Tucker for this award, how nice was that! Tracey's blog is HERE, so please visit!
Next up, I need to share eight wonderful, inspiring, breathtaking things about myself:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
....................hmmmmmm, I'm thinking~~~~
6. OK, got one! I have had two major careers in my life. I was a licensed hairdresser for 6 years, and a Postmaster for 21 years (The former is why I never display a picture, the latter is why I buy stamps on line)
7. I'm a mutt~~my grandmother was from Liverpool England, my grandfather was 1/2 native American, and my father was missing. (OK, TMI!)
8. I used to paint in oils many, (as in MANY) years ago. Copics are waaaaaay harder!
I also have a rather bizarre dry sense of humor, that people rarely understand. That is why my favorite blog on the planet is Here.............Marlene is the funniest person, she completely cracks me up!
My goal is one day to be on a DT, but of course you have to apply and I have not reached that level of confidence yet~~maybe soon though.
I want to share this award with the following blogs, and hope you will visit them as well~~(all 15 of you need to do this, hahaha!)


Marlene~~Disguised As a Grownup (You are my laugh out loud buddy!)
Ann~~AnnFran (Your work is inspiring!)
Linda Palmer~~Linda's Stamping Blog (Retirement is wonderful!)
Annette~~Mypommiepurplepatch (Love that name!)
Mary Frances~~FrancieCrafter (Her coloring is fabulous!)
Yvonne~~Yvonne's Stamps, Paper & Ink (Unbelievable!)

Puh-leeeze visit all of my on-line friends, and tell'm I sent you, LOL! Thank you again Tracey, you made my day!

Good morning! The temp is going to reach 85° here today, EEEK~~best to stay in.

Soooo, paper flowers are not my strong suit (UNDERSTATEMENT!) but I wanted to support the copic musketeer challenges, so here it is.....if you would like to enter, you can find the details HERE...the last day is tomorrow, so run Forest, run!

This is a High Hopes rubber stamp, and I colored with copics.

Enjoy the week, I still have company, AARRGGHH!
