Rainy Day Duck

It's been so cloud and yucky here lately I thought this was a perfect stamp to use although I did nice bright colors so it made me feel much better!  Supposedly the sun is going to be out tomorrow and it's going to be nice which is good cuz Mark has his first baseball game of the season tomorrow then we are off to a concert at Mohegan Sun.  I took Monday off so I could recover lol!  Not easy getting home at 1 am and getting up at 4 am anymore!  Too old lol!!

So I colored this cutie with copics, added Stickles to the water and lacquer to the ladybug.  The polka dot flower and button are Doodlebug the paper I had one small piece left so I'm not sure who's it is!  Have a great weekend..hugs.

Copic Classes With Suzanne Dean

I spent all day at my favorite LSS, Inspiration Station in Stafford taking two classes from the Queen of cardmaking Suzanne Dean.  I took both the beginner and the advanced classes.  I learned a lot and I had a great time with some great ladies!  Here's a pic of Suzanne, myself and Mark's mom.  She's such a tiny lil thing lol!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Wee Suzi Digi

New image release on Friday the 15th yay!  Love these digis they are so beautiful. 

Colored with Copics.  This week is just dragging by thought it was Thursday, was sad once I figured out it was Wednesday!  Hope everyone is having a good week.

Get Well Girl

I was on a pink kick this weekend...cute Pink Cat Studio digi used, colored with Copics.  I'm getting excited for my Copic classes with the Queen of card making...Suzanne Dean.  I am so stinking excited!  I'm taking her beginner and intermediate class, both on the same day.  I might not "need" the beginner class but I figured if I learned even one thing it would be worth it.  Taking the classes as my fave LSS Inspiration Station in Stafford. 

Happy Monday everybody...it was a long one! 

High Hopes Lenny's Love Me Nots

Love this image...

Colored with Copics, paper is a piece I stole from my daughter shhhhh!  Large polka dot flower and button are from Doodlebug.  I love the green and orange combo.  Finally got my craft area back, we had water in the basement after it rained on top of the tons of snow we had about a month ago...well the water kept coming and coming and we realized something more was happening than the water table being high.  So my better half ripped out the wall being my craft "bar" and the hose that ran to the sump pump had 3 leaks in it and it was just dumping the water right back into the wall.  What a mess.  But pump has new hose, wall has been re-insulated and sheet rocked and painted and I'm back in business!  I hope everyone had a good weekend and happy back to work ugh lol!

Wee Stamps

I am just in love with these beautiful digi stamps from Sylvia Zet!  This stamp comes from Spesch Stamps.  Just gorgeous although I do find them challenging because they are so detailed so I'm working hard on my coloring skills! 

I'm entering this card in the Wild Orchid Challenge "Dieing to punch it out".   Image is colored with Copics, added Stickles to the cake.  The gorgeous flowers are all from Wild Orchid.  I added some stickles to the edges of the large roses.  Paper is Close To My Heart and ribbon is a tiny piece I had in my stash!  Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.  We are off to a charity bowling event, money being raised for MS.  I have a card in my Etsy store that I am donating the cost of to MS.  Sitting to watch some of the race before we head out.  Hugs!!

High Hopes & Whimsie Doodles Go Green

Well it's been awhile since my last post - for the last week and a half we've been bailing water out of the basement and of course that's where my craft area is.  I've been panicked!!  We did a good job at saving everything though.  I did get this cute High Hopes card done for their challenge "Go Green" and am also using it for Whimsie Doodles "Go Green" challenge.  I love this guy I have used him a couple times in the last month.  Hope everyones week is good!!

Strawberry Girl

This is such a cutie lil girl!  Bugaboo digi, colored with Copics.  I was really happy with this card, I colored this image once and I don't know what I did wrong but it was awful!  So I printed another and started over and I was much happier the second time around!

Finished our taxes tonight...yay glad that chore is out of the way!  Happy Tuesday everybody sooo glad it's March we are on our way to warmer weather finally.  Hugs

Pink Cat Studio Flower

I was buying some of the newer Valentine digi's awhile back and was looking through older images and came across this one.  I guess I just never noticed it before but oh my gosh I love it! 

I colored with Copics, added Stickles to the center of the flowers.  Paper is all from Close To My Heart.  The flower embellishments are a Cuttlebug die which I just love but forget to use!  Watched my fave driver win the Nationwide race tonight (Kyle Busch) then watched a nice creepy movie and made a card - so all in all it was a pretty good night!

Wee Stamps Digital

Oh my gosh isn't this little girl adorable!!??

This digi image is from Wee Stamps and she is adorable, there are only a couple digi's available on this site and I'm hoping there is more to come!  The designer has more available at Spesch Stamps and I bought a couple more digi's there.   Now my Copic skills are still rough so this image was challenging for me, very fine detail but I was really happy with the outcome.  Paper is SU, flowers are from Wild Orchids. 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend I got to make a bunch of cards yesterday, I took the day off from work (yay!!) and watched some good horror movies in the basement.  Interesting that all the cards I made are bright and floral and girly...nothing inspired by the movies I was watching heehee!!
