SOOOOO we had this little end of summer get together for a group of girls. Partly to have our very first Birthday party for both the girls but really to see school friends again. The weather did not cooperate for our plans of outdoor water fun with Pizza and ice cream BUT not surprisingly the girls all still got wet and enjoyed themselves. The highlight however I think was this….

Yes that is John on a slip and slide and the girls screamed him on to do a few more. That is Lori currently cheering Daddy on. We really did have a fun day.

I have not posted in a while and there is never really a great excuse but I will give you mine anyway! I was visiting all of the Weaver 5 clan in Oregon for a week where we had PERFECT weather and an amazing week all together! Could not have been any nicer really!

Then while I was on vacation I found out Debbie Hodge is ready for the next installment of my Copic Coloring classes and the sooner the better. 🙂 I am more than happy to oblige and will be teaching Copic Crazy live (on-line) in September and Copic Coloring #2 in October. I have the stamp artist lined up and am working on the art work this week. I will give some sneaky peaks this next week.

So there you go that is my life in a very tiny nutshell. School starts in two days and the girls are excited and ready. I will be using every spare minute getting my class together and John is busy as usual.

hugs all!

Christmas In July Blog Hop with Michelle Perkett


Today we are celebrating Christmas in July with Michelle Perkett. It was perfect timing for me to get started on some Christmas layouts and pick up Michelle’s new Chrissy the Christmas Spirit Fairy! The image is colored with Copic markers YR30, YR31, Y32, Y35, Y38, R000, R01, R22, R24, R29, R89, G24, G17, G28, E33, E35, E37, B91, B95, B97, C1 and an atyou glitter pen.

I even added color to my letters with the same blue series. I love these Thickers! They are fabric ones and take the Copic ink so well. I “need” to get another set.

New week, new creations. this week I have another card for Taylored Expressions. This one is based on the Sketch Challenge #143 and is again by the FAB-U-LOUS Lori Craig. The stamp and sentiment are from the Crafty Cuppie set of stamps. the papers are My Minds Eye, Lime Twist the cardstock is Bazzil Swiss Dots, The image is colored with Copic markers with a touch of Glossy accents to pop the cherry, oh and the ribbon is American Crafts, button is The Paper Studio. After taking the photo I re-stamped the sentiment on a new ribbon with different ink that did not bleed so badly so if you are having a hard time reading the blur it says “You’re sew sweet!” I did the cutting myself no dies here just a lot of measuring and a Coluzzle circle cutter that is falling apart.

A the end of this week I will be hopping in a Christmas in July blog hop with the lovely ladies from Michelle Perkett Studio. Here is the info and come hop along this Saturday. BTW Michelle has given out THREE cute freebies this month on her challenge blog hurry over and pick some digital goodness for yourself! Thanks Michelle Perkett!

On the family front swimming is over Woo Hoo! Three practices a week down for a few weeks. We will take the break and say thank you! We are all signed up to try gymnastics this fall. And we will get to hug lots of family next week yeah! We are still melting here so looking forward to some cooler temperatures:-)

Hugs All!

Happy mi-week all! I wanted to share another card I finished up yesterday. This one was created using a stamp by Taylored Expressions and fulfills their Sketch #142 challenge. This particular sketch was designed by my friend Lori Craig so I figured I better get to it! The paper is all Basic Grey’s Sweet Threads line and the Cuppie’s are stamped on Craft paper then colored with Copic markers. The trim is one I found at JoAnn’s and I stamped the saying from the same stamp set as the Cuppie’s “Sweet Celebration”

Thanks ladies for the fun stamps and great sketch.

This week is busy but a huge success. Both girls are doing Art In The Park and then Sara is doing a little drama camp. Both still have swimming and Sara has diving. You can imagine the art and drama are both HUGELY successful.

Hugs all!
