Well as the month of January comes to a close I am blinking and trying to figure out where it went! It has been a busy and productive month for me. I have two new tutorials up at Get It Scrapped, completed a lot of challenges. Including this card to the right. It is the current color challenge from iCopic. I spent the past two days making a stack of Valentine cards with Copic colored hearts on them. I’ll do a short lesson to go with them in the next few days. I taught in Lori’s classroom this past week about artist Milton Avery and even managed to squeeze in a couple doctor appointments around the other business.

The girls are busy as every we wrapped up our cookie sales with 135 boxes sold not much by today’s standards but quite an accomplishment for us. Most of it was door to door by Sara so I am very proud of her.

Rumor is we are expecting another pile of snow. But we are still smiling as of yet since the comparison to last year is still so much nicer!

Happy Sunday to you all and have a great week!

Hugs!

Merry Christmas!


So this is coming out a few days early, BUT I have got good excuses! I am sure of it… Actually it boils down to the fact that I want to share this with you before the day arrives so you know I am thinking of all my family and friends on Christmas. And I am praying that each of you is celebrating the birth of Christ with those that you love the most, near and far.

The card also is fulfilling a couple challenges the first is the color challenge at iCopic. I have stretched it a bit on my colors but it still has the generals. The card is also based on the card sketch over at Sassy Lil Sketches. So thank you both sites for pulling this one together for me. I have been wanting to put this stamp to use and I so love how it turned out.

I think my favorite part is the fact that the scalloped disk comes off and can be saved as an ornament on the back is written “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16”

Merry Christmas!
Blessings to all and to all a wonderful year!
Hugs!

Challenges 11/8/2010

Hi all! I am back i have caught up on life a little (HA HA) and I am having fun playing. This week I am busy hemming and taking in pants for my girls and getting ready for my parents visiting this weekend. I also am teaching my Copic tomorrow night and have an all day crop on Saturday so life is looking pretty grand right now! The layout below is from the lovely ladies at Sassy Lil Sketches. It is a little busy because of all the patterns I used but was fun and easy to just cut and slap on the page which felt good.


The little card was created for a challenge over at iCopic. This time the colors were green, gold, and silver with a tree included. I used my Copic markers on some vellum on this one. The vellum has the glitter in it and then added hand stitching with silver, hand written with silver and gold ribbon. It felt great to just create!

Girls are great, busy as ever and the weather is agreeing with us at the moment.

Hugs to all!
