With Gratitude...

So I am playing with the copics again! They still really freak me out.  I just can't figure them out.  My friend Jen and I took a class too.  Well, we learned more "about" them then we did the coloring aspect so maybe that doesn't count.  So here are two more small attempts!  In real life it doesn't look too bad but now that I have them posted my blending doesn't look the best!  I have a goal to keep trying though!  Not gonna quit!  :)

And another card, same but different colors...

Hope you 4th weekend went great!  It has rained here now for 40 days and 40 nights!  OK, not really but we did get 6+ inches in less that 48 hours!  You really need a boat to get anywhere in Kansas at the moment!  I think I can hear it raining AGAIN now!  Talk about soggy!!

Celebrate today!

Stoppin' in with a quick 4th of July card!  I haven't inked up this set yet and I actually had some time today so I thought what better set could I pull out? 

It is raining today.  I don't mean a little sprinkle either.  I mean torrential rain.  Our yard is flooded.  Seriously.  Good thing we don't have a show to see tonight because it would be cancelled for sure.  Hopefully it stops a little so we can play with fireworks here at home!

Hope you are all having a safe and fabulous 4th!  See you soon!

You're a Hoot!

Because life is CRAZY busy right now, I thought I would stop in a post a card I made a couple weeks ago!  We finally finished T-Ball and swimming lessons.  Now we are on to Soccer camp, going to the pool as often as we can, road trips here and there....oh my!  I was just telling a friend I need a vacation from summer vacation!  I haven't had time to sit down and make something forEVER now.  But I am  having more fun with my kids!  They come first for sure!  Hopefully I might be able to find a little crafty time today!  Oh and not to mention my google reader.....its over 500 new posts!  I am sure I have LOTS of comments to leave!

OK, so this one uses a cute little owl set I found at Michael's!  It's one of those cling sets that is like $2 dollars-ish.  I saw it and immediately knew it had to have an argyle tummy! 

I popped him all up so he is pretty 3d! 

Well I appreciate you stopping by today!  I know I need to come see your blog and leave you some love too!  Can't wait to see what I am missing out on in my reader!  Hope you all have a great 4th!

A little friend blend...

Stoppin' in with a quick one today!  Love the combo of Sweet Blush and Ripe Avocado!

Hope you are having a great day!  Thanks for coming by!

Giving the vintage look a shot....and 2S4Y55

  I am loving 2 Sketches 4 You!  They have some great sketches that help with the mojo for sure!  Here is Laura's fabulous sketch #55!

So, I am not good at "vintage-y" look but I thought I would give it a try!  I found this tag at a local store and had to buy several of them!  :)  That was kinda the inspiration for my card along with this adorable sketch!  I thought even though I am kinda reaching on the sketch it still gave the same look!  I hope?  hehe!
