December is coming!

I am catching up on a few challenges! This card fills the Sassy Lil Sketches card sketch for November and the iCopic challenge as well.

The day plans are to unload the Christmas boxes and to run a few errands. Christmas, Christmas, I love this season!

Thanksgiving 2010

Well we are back home, unpacked and all clean! Clear! We had a most amazing week with the Houghton's in Tonto Basin, AZ. All the "expected" activities took place, a hike, a boat ride, a quad ride, turkey in the Happy Hangout and much fun and laughter. Not to mention the Houghton's new puppy Cody! he was the hit of the week for sure.

In the mean time I even got a little coloring in. This lovely image is from Michelle Perket she is another digital stamp artist. And discovered that I won the coloring contest that I entered this past month at Memory Bound with me colored snowman!


Hugs to all!

Oh I love to Scrap!

You know you forget when life gets so busy that you don't have enough time to make the list before a new list is forming and you are falling more helplessly behind, you forget how much you enjoy doing these little things for yourself. I LOVE to teach I love the fact that I am getting to share my art with the world literally. I have students on-line across the globe at the moment taking my Copic marker class and it is befuddling to me that I am doing it. But it is draining and time consuming to get the materials together. But I am on the other side, the class is written and now I am sharing the material and talking with students and I LOVE it! To top it off I have been able to do a little creating for me. I have gotten to finger through my stuff and play with my markers and I am loving that too.
The two layouts here are for a class I am teaching live here in Des Moines with an on-line store, That Scrappy Girl. It is a group of ladies that are just starting with Copics for the most part and I can already tell I am going to need to amp up the level of difficulty they are getting it and doing so amazing! Next month we are tackling a couple holiday images and then on to snow stuff.
All that being said I am in a really good place right now and wriggling in it. And besides I get all day Saturday to PLAY!!!!!


Hugs all!!!

Challenges 11/8/2010

Hi all! I am back i have caught up on life a little (HA HA) and I am having fun playing. This week I am busy hemming and taking in pants for my girls and getting ready for my parents visiting this weekend. I also am teaching my Copic tomorrow night and have an all day crop on Saturday so life is looking pretty grand right now! The layout below is from the lovely ladies at Sassy Lil Sketches. It is a little busy because of all the patterns I used but was fun and easy to just cut and slap on the page which felt good.


The little card was created for a challenge over at iCopic. This time the colors were green, gold, and silver with a tree included. I used my Copic markers on some vellum on this one. The vellum has the glitter in it and then added hand stitching with silver, hand written with silver and gold ribbon. It felt great to just create!


Girls are great, busy as ever and the weather is agreeing with us at the moment.

Hugs to all!
