Best Wishes...

So the other day my mom was here.  She is an artist and uses lots of mediums...oils, pencil, charcoal etc...BUT she has never used Copics.  So I handed her my bucket o' copics and she sat down with them.  Now it has taken me some time to get the feel of them.  There is definitely a learning curve to these things...at least for me anyway.  So imagine my surprise when I see she has this complete.....

I told her to drop the Copics and go home! LOL, not really! But ummmm....WOW!!

So this is my flower!  And remember I started this several months ago.  This is NOT my first flower like some people! 

Needless to say, now she is hooked.  She will be buying some in the near future!  I can see this taking off and being a business for her in her Art Gallery!  Maybe she can give me lessons?

Scripture Stamps...

I am always on the lookout for stamps that have great scriptures on them!  I found one the other day at Hobby Lobby and I knew I had to have it! 

I have been doing alot of the Nestie/Chalking thing lately as you will see in some upcoming posts!  I think it adds just the right touch!

I got this fabulous embossing folder at the Scrapbook Page in KC!  I used it on a make-n-take and then had to take it home with me!  I think it is a QK folder!

Hope you have a FANTASTIC Sunday!  May God Bless you greatly and give you the desires of your heart! 

Paper Dolls Challenge #10

I have been very bad about my challenges on the Paper Dolls site here lately!  Really, I have been so busy I haven't done much of anything but play with kids!  But today it is so smokin' hot outside that I had time to sit...that and my mom is here!  She is keeping the kiddos occupied!  Thank you Grandma! 

OK so back to the challenge!  My friend Amy hosted the challenge a couple weeks ago!  Here is her sketch...

And here is my take on this sketch....

Hope your week was a good one!  I appreciate you all stopping by!  Your comments always mean so much!  :)

Another 2S4Y...

Just in with a quick one today!  This is actually the first card I made using this weeks 2S4Y sketch!  I wasn't totally thrilled so I posted the other one first!  I added the black strip and the pearls and it felt more grounded!  And another color combo like yesterdays!  I just love this mix!

Hope you are having a great day!

Kraft, Ocean Tides, Black, Smokey Shadow and White...

I know that is a LONG blog post title but hey...why not right?  That is the subject of today's post!  One of my new favorite color combos!  And look!!  Its more than one color!  :) 

Today I have to cards to share!  Both using this color combo!  This first one is a CAS card!    I have had this sticker forever with this quote that I love and I just had to use it!  I think it goes well with this CC.

This next card is for my friend Barb!  I have known Barb for a little over a year now.  We got to meet in person after finding out that we were both designing for TAC's catalog last year!  It was so fun to go through that process together and chat and text, and chat some more and text!  LOL!  So anyway, Barb has become such a good friend and I am so lucky to have her! 

It doesn't feel like a normal day if we don't have a chance to visit! 

For those of you who don't know, Barb is known for her "creepy" blog Haunted Design House but she has a "normal" (hehe) blog over at Foster Design House. 

Let me tell you though, she is the least "creepy" person there is!  She even knows I am not a fan of Halloween and she still likes me!

She has a huge heart and is amazingly talented!  I love her to pieces!  OK enough mushy..here is the card I made her.....(and a new favorite of mine!)

Thanks for listening to me go on and on today!  Hope you have a great Wednesday!
