New Toy

Two things to post today. The first is a card that includes Copic loveliness and is from a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches. Thanks ladies!

The next is the results of my first round playing with my new toy! I just got a Copic Air Brush System. Way to fun! Similar to the effect you get with misting inks but a continuous spray and goes with all my markers so I have lots of colors.

Not much else to report today, hot and sticky here big surprise but we are still having fun with bikes, library and the girls are playing at Pump It Up this week for a few days and they love that as well.

Bill’s Boat

Well I managed to get all of LAST summers layouts done so I am officially on to fall. Good thing since last weekend I picked up the 200 plus photos from our trip to Denver this summer. So I am keeping going while I can! Here is another great sketch from Sassy Lil’ Sketches. I love how this turned out. It still might get a journal strip or two but I am lovin the title with the boat, and yeah I drew it and used my Copics on it.

Here is another from last fall, the title is hard to read but it says cool riders, the stickers are gold and caught the light.
Other news we are loving our summer. Lots of trips to the library, couple days in the sprinkler, in genral we really are doing well. Swim lessons this week are keeping the girls moving like they needed help with that and I handed over a STACK of photos yesturday that they could “scrap” so I think they are doing OK in the boredom arena.

Happy Fourth of July in advance!


Happy fourth to all. I created this card for a dear friend who happens to have a b-day on the 4th. If she pops by she’ll spoil her surprise BUT isn’t it always nice to have real mail? The directions and printables for the stars will be up at Get It Scrapped in the next week or so and I was too excited not to share. Loving all the fun possibilities with these markers!

Hope all have an amazing fourth!

Here He Is

Well here he is. This is Izzy. One of my latest Copic designs. He was hiding in the card seen below. Vacation and finishing up a title font class got me off track so I am scrambling to get him ready to be posted on Get It Scrapped with directions. Hopefully later this week he will get all done.


So on other family news we are very well. Vacation was wonderful! Time with Mom and Dad is always welcome. We had lots of fun mini adventures and just enough down time and ice cream to put smiles on all of our faces. Since we have been back we have started dance camp, I had my first crown prepped and will return for the permanent in a few weeks, I mowed the lawn, three loads of laundry, yadda, yadda, yadda, we had a four hour play date that was turned into a Rat Party cupcakes, rat puppets and all (stuffed rat friends), and I am sure I will not survive if the entire summer is run at this pace 🙂

All is well as we roast in the humidity.
Hugs!

Copic #6

I keep cranking them out over at Get It Scrapped! One more Copic tutorial will be going up shortly. This one will be a short a sweet one with this beautiful heart image to play with. I added the leaves and just a touch of patterned paper from my May kit from Scrap This Kit to complete the card. Hmmmm…. who should this one go too?

In other news summer vacation has officially begun! Sara finished school today and Lori was done yesterday. Sara was excited for a break Lori wants none of it! Oh well we have quite the line up of summer activities planned for them so hopefully just enough so i do not here the”I’m bored” too many times :-). let the sprinkler, park, zoo picnics begin!

Oh and just because it is fun to tease my friends…here is my favorite Copic image I have worked on yet! OK so it is not the whole image but there is a LITTLE piece!
