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!

December Multitasking


Well I decided to tackle three jobs at once and ended up with this fun layout that is awaiting photos. The funny thing is we are happily snow-less at the moment. This little snowman is colored with Copic markers and fulfills the current challenge at iCopic. The layout is based on a sketch from Scrappy Lil Sketches. To top it off it is a little prep work for my local Club Copic!

On the home front we just celebrated our first round of Christmas. With Dad on call next weekend and hitting the road with an already loaded down vehicle the following weekend we decided today was the day! The girls watched Polar express last night all bundled up in their sleeping bags and popcorn last night then opened up new PJ’s for the season. This morning they opened stuffed stockings and a few gifts under the tree. John got me a gorgeous new coat with a quilted hood. I love it and will be looking good this winter!

The rest of the day is open with a date night to finish off for John and I.

Happy ho Ho Holidays!

Thanksgiving 2010

Well we are back home, unpacked and all clean! Clear! We had a most amazing week with the Houghton’s in Tonto Basin, AZ. All the “expected” activities took place, a hike, a boat ride, a quad ride, turkey in the Happy Hangout and much fun and laughter. Not to mention the Houghton’s new puppy Cody! he was the hit of the week for sure.

In the mean time I even got a little coloring in. This lovely image is from Michelle Perket she is another digital stamp artist. And discovered that I won the coloring contest that I entered this past month at Memory Bound with me colored snowman!


Hugs to all!

Oh I love to Scrap!


You know you forget when life gets so busy that you don’t have enough time to make the list before a new list is forming and you are falling more helplessly behind, you forget how much you enjoy doing these little things for yourself. I LOVE to teach I love the fact that I am getting to share my art with the world literally. I have students on-line across the globe at the moment taking my Copic marker class and it is befuddling to me that I am doing it. But it is draining and time consuming to get the materials together. But I am on the other side, the class is written and now I am sharing the material and talking with students and I LOVE it! To top it off I have been able to do a little creating for me. I have gotten to finger through my stuff and play with my markers and I am loving that too.
The two layouts here are for a class I am teaching live here in Des Moines with an on-line store, That Scrappy Girl. It is a group of ladies that are just starting with Copics for the most part and I can already tell I am going to need to amp up the level of difficulty they are getting it and doing so amazing! Next month we are tackling a couple holiday images and then on to snow stuff.
All that being said I am in a really good place right now and wriggling in it. And besides I get all day Saturday to PLAY!!!!!


Hugs all!!!
