I want to make sure that anyone who is interested knows that my newest class Copic Coloring will be starting June 7th at Get It Scrapped!!!! It will run for 5 weeks with two lessons a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you are going to be out of town no biggie! Remember this is on line and the lessons do not disappear so you can do them at your own pace. I hope any Copic colors out there who are interested will join me for the adventure. The class will go up for sale around the 16th and I will make sure to let you know!

Happy Thursday all! Told you I was getting busy with my crafting! I am a Guest Design Team Member today over at Michelle Perkett Studio. I made a layout and a card featuring two of Michelle’s amazing mermaids. The challenge this week is mermaids. Michelle has a whole fleet of them and they are all stunning.



I love them because I have two mermaids in my home and they seem to get more and more fish like as they get older so I might be doing a lot of mermaid layouts in days to come. the weather here is still hot and muggy today but tomorrow is supposed to drop about 20 degrees so we will see. The girls recital is next week and we will be done with dance for who knows how long. The girls have both decided to take at least next year off.

Have a great day everyone!
Hugs

So I have doubled up on this last challenge. I did this layout to complete a challenge over at A Day For Daisies and also to complete an image for iCopic’s design team call. The image is from A Day For Daisies and they were wishing for stitching on a project so all the butterfly trails are hand sewn in silver thread. iCopic is looking for an image using pink.


The colors I used are R20, R22, blender (dress), Y23, Y26, E35, E37 (hair), YR000, YR01 (skin), B60, B66, B69, Y19, YG13 (pansies), B0000, B00, and blender (sky).

As an FYI there is a fun Easter Blog Hop coming up at the Michelle Perkett Blog. I will be hopping along and other’s as well. If you are a crafter or Copic lover you might have to come take a peek!


On a family note we are all doing well. Lori is fighting a bit of a cold which she has passed on to me. Sara did a big presentation at school today and both John and I got to go. Big surprise she is quite the little actress. I have got lots of activities getting lines up for summer, hard to belive that that is right around the corner. And the weather has warmed again for a couple days. Which would be even nicer if the wind was not strong enough to knock you off your feet :-). All in all life is pretty sweet!

Hugs all!

I am scrambling here to get some creating in this weekend! I was dying to get two new images colored and complete SOMETHING, ANYTHING! So here are the results…

This first image ans layout are another fun Michelle Perkett image. They complete the challenge on her blog. I love this mother, daughter image and I know I will be using it for a card 🙂

This next card is made with an image by Tammy Thompson she is the designer and owner of A Day for Daisies. She creates beautiful whimsical images and is so much fun! This card fulfills a challenge over at iCopic who’s color challenge this week is lime, green and blue. Tammy’s peacock fairy fit the bill perfectly. I can’t take credit for the hand stitching on this, the paper is from a collection by Prima and between the image and the paper the card is just that simple.

The family is well! I taught another doodling class live yesterday here locally this time. It went very well and the 15 ladies all walked away with smiles on their faces. We hosted our small group for dinner last night which was 20 total bodies in our home for burgers and dogs. It was a very nice evening! Today was quieter with church, lunch at KFC and naps all around 🙂 A little creative time for the girls, exercise for Dad and a well rounded day indeed!

Hope your week treats you all well.
Hugs!

Color, color, color! Yes I am having fun. Two challenges this week and they had different colors so I had to do two! Oh no! Not more coloring! Both images above are from Michelle Perkett. The above image is for her blog challenge we were going green this week so I added her Goldilocks image to a layout. The layout is incomplete as the photos of my leprechauns are on order. The below card is for the iCopic weekly color challenge. This week we were assigned pink, orange, and purple.

I’ll be back later this week for a family update, we are busy with my Mom and Dad. We had a grand adventure today looking at fossils in a washed out gorge! Yes here in Iowa, so cool!

In the mean time hugs all!

New week ahead. The Houghton Grandparents are along for the ride for one more day then we send them home and the Weaver Grandparents will be here Thursday. We went to the Omaha zoo yesterday and had a perfect day despite the cooler temperatures. The animals captivated us for quite a while and so many of the displays are in indoor facilities it was just perfect.

Today was a few errands and some lazy play time around the house.

The image this week is from a Sassy Lil Sketch and the copic image is colored with the following colors: E11, E13,E25, E27, E29, E95, YR15, YR18, YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99, BG72, BG75. This one is a digital stamp from Bugaboo stamps.
