FAB NEWS....

I've been waiting to post this for a week now.. I was tickled pink when I was asked to be a Guest Designer at CMC Copic Challenge. Its a super fun site for all levels of Copic experience... Our theme this challenge was "Spring Pretties".. I created this Easter card for a neighbor. I couldn't find a rose that matched the papers, so I made the center rose and used my copics to give the white flowers some color... Check out all the super cute Design Team creations....

CHEESE !!!

I fell in LOVE with this grinning monkey stamp when I spotted him on SplitcoastStampers site. I found out that he currently is not available. But the SUPER NICE crafter (Pam) who was the original card maker offered to send me a stamped image....

CMC Copic Challenge # 38

CMC Copic Challenge #38 was FUZZY-WUZZY, FURRY ANIMAL ANTIC..
I used Meljean's bunny stamp called Fluffy Bunny, colored with Copics.. I tried to mimic fuzzy fur, but this was a hard challenge for me. I've never tried this technique and need a lot more practice till I'm happy with it.. but it was a great idea for a challenge because it got me out of my Copic comfort zone... :)

7 Kids College Fund Challenge #42 & All That Scraps

Not A Card was #42 challenge at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog and over at All That Scraps the challenge was (MY FAV of course), SPARKLE.... . My DD just started reading a new book so I decided to make a bookmark using the adorable C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta... She is dreaming of eating all those cupcakes herself....:) I also decided she needed a nice place to sit so I used the Magnolia stamps Arbor. I used a template to draw on the green leaf swirls using green stickles.. It really sparkles...

Ooh La La....

I created this new card for my DD... she has set a goal to visit Paris after graduation... I am so proud of her... She will be tickled pink when she gets this... The papers are from Paper Studio and the collection is called Ooh La La.. The stamps are Magnolia's..
