Oh Scrappy Day! I actually had a scrappy evening it felt GREAT. I managed to make 11 pages in the 6 hours. None extra spectacular but oh it felt so good to just put some pages together. Here are a couple of them.
This first one is from last November’s trip to Arizona! I managed to get those pages complete so I am ready to go again this November 🙂 I LOVE the photo of John and his Dad, they are such an amazing duo!

This next one is of my scrapping buddies at two separate crops. It has been so nice to find some ladies to go to events with regularly. We laugh an awful lot as we play with our tools.

Life is humming along nicely at our house Girl Scouts was the latest and last activity to hit the home front last night. Both girls are involved this year in their own troops and both LOVE it. Girl scouts is still the best.

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.

Good day all! I really do not have anything brand new to share scrappy wise but I thought I would share two layouts I did just a couple weeks back. Class started this week on-line so I am busy answering questions and setting up lessons to post. the hard work is done but this part still keeps me pretty occupied. The two layouts are from our Vegas trip last fall where I got to meet some of the most amazing women that I have known on-line for about 3 years. We had an amazing time, did a little teaching a little learning and a whole ton of laughing. The Copic images that are on the layouts are both from A Day For Daisies. The top layout has a photo of me taken by Amy and my friend Tami showing us her best :-). Below is Celia and then the group at dinner.

The girls and I have been good this week. Y-fun club in the mornings for the girls. Very fun and so easy since it is at the Y. Tuesday the girls swam in their very first swim meet. For their first they did extremely well! Not sure if we won anything yet but they had fun and swam hard. We were super duper proud of them! Other than that swim and dive practices are filling our days so we are moving right along!

Hugs all!

Challenges Challenges!

I am trying to get a few posted before I take off on an adventure! I am going to take a Copic class all about using your Copics and Copic ink in mixed media art. So excited! I am sure I will have a lot to share after tomorrow! In the mean time here are two challenges for two of my favorite digi stamp sites!

First here is my unfinished layout for Tiddly Inks. The title is going to be Dancing Divas (the theme was Divas over at Tiddly Inks) and the photos should arrive in my mailbox tomorrow 🙂

Here is a close up of my “Sugar Plum Fairy” colored of course with Copics. She has stickles added to her wings, a Sdtardust pen on her tutu and sand colored atyou Spica pen on her crown.

Here is the next layout created for a bingo game over at Michelle Perkett Studio. This is where I yell BLACKOUT! Yep got all 9 things on my layout; lace, ribbon, glitter, pearls, 2 backing papers, brads, die cut (the circle ring the title sits on), scallops, and the mermaid is wearing flowers in her hair! Woo Hoo

Here is a close up of the image. Hard to see but the glitter is in her hair, very subtle.

I best be off hugs all!

Happy Tuesday all!

Long day here but wanted to get lots of stuff up here and then I will go to bed. We were at dress rehersals today for the majority of today so we are all wiped out. Recital this Saturday and dance is done. I recorded the dress rehearsal so I will post those later this week.

First here is a layout I made for the current challenge at A Day For Daisies. They have a wonderful card sketch that of course I have turned into a layout 🙂 The image is one of Tammy Thompson’s beautiful creations and could not have been more perfect for my family!

Here is a close up of our bear and two girls 🙂

I think this is quickly becoming a favorite image of mine! It is a creation of Michelle Perkett and I love how quick and easy it is to color and adapt to any set of papers! So fun!
