Birthday Card for my friend Marie

This is a birthday card I made for my friend Marie. I used a Sweet N Sassy digital stamp and my Copic markers to color it in. Adding a little Stickles here and there always makes it prettier too!

Peachy Keen Color Challenge

Cupcake Card for PKS Challenge

Today I am posting a card I made for the PKS Challenge Blog.  It was a sketch and color challenge using the colors apricot, teal, and orchid.  Most of the paper I used was from Stampin' Up! although I did use a few scraps that are not.  I cut the cupcake from the "From My Kitchen" Cricut cartridge at three inches and did a little paper piecing. The face is from Funshine Face Parts (PK-943) by Peachy Keen stamps. The scalloped circle was embossed using the Cuttlebug and the D'Vine Swirls folder.  The ribbon and bling is from WalMart...not sure of the brand.  Then I used my white Jelly Roll pen to do a little dooding and TA-DA....here it is!  Thanks for stopping by and looking! :-)

Sweet N Sassy Stamps "The Sweet Stop" Challenge

This is my card for the challenge. I used Copics to color the Pencil Cup digistamp. This challenge inspired me to dig out some old Stampin' Up! stamps that had a school theme to make the green and yellow background papers. The striped patterned paper is a scrap that I had in my scrap heap, and the "ABC" letters are from Colorbok.  Thanks for looking! 

Copic Certification and Free Digi Stamps

Hi all!  Last Saturday I attended a Copic Certification class.  It was so much fun!  Learned a lot about the markers and also met some cool people.  The instructor was Lori Craig....she was great!  And now I am certified as a Copic Designer!  Anyway, since then I have been practicing my coloring "skills", and decided to get some new fresh stamps to color.  Little did I know there are FREE ones out on the web called "digi stamps" that can be downloaded and printed off your computer.  I have posted a blinkie with a good site that has a lot of other links to free digital stamps for personal use.  It's a blog called Free Digital Stamps.  The blinkie is in the list to the right of this post!  Happy Stamping/Coloring!! :-)

Yay Me!

Well, not to toot my own horn, but..... TOOT TOOT!  I entered nine cards at our county fair, and I  got blue ribbons on each one!  Also, Second Place for Outstanding Senior Exhibitor!  I probably should tell you that there weren't too many other cards entered, and most others also received blue ribbons.  LOL!  Anyway, just wanted to give the results!  I will have some more cards to post soon.  Have a great day!

Fair Cards Continued

I have loaded some pictures of the cards I entered at the fair.  Most of them are stamped images colored with Copic markers.  The stamps are from CC Designs (www.allthatscraps.com), and a couple are shapes etc. cut with my Cricut.  Thanks for looking!  Tomorrow I am taking the Copic certification class, and I hope to learn a lot!  I'll check in later!

Good Morning!

Ok, so I dropped off my cards at the fair last night.  Didn't quite make my goal of two for every category, but I did alright.  I will have pictures of the cards loaded today.  Most of them are made with CC Designs Stamps from allthatscraps.com, but on a couple I used my Gypsy and Cricut.  (Love them!) Have a blessed day! :-)
