Mo's DP2 Challenge #110

I'm back.  Here's one of my Christmas cards for this year.  Trying to participate in Mo's DP2 challenge and I'm squeezing in at the very last minute.  I love this little elf image called Little Pipa.  Just too cute hanging on that ornament.  The paper is from Basic Grey Figgy Pudding pack.  Such a awesome pack of paper for holiday cards.  Gotta run and see ya back soon.

Happy Hump Day and a Sketch

Happy hump day everyone.  Have a quick card to show you.  I haven't had the chance in awhile to participate in a SCS challenge so today I did.  Love the sketch Roxi as it was super easy to do with the tons of scraps I have in my scrap box.  I had this adorable house mouse image colored for years now and he finally made it to a card.  Awww...I think I made him happy.  LOL

I'm keeping this short and sweet as I'm feeling sicker than a dog right now.  Back to bed I go but come back soon as I'll have more to show you later in the week.

Color Me Creative Challenge - Multicolor Hair

Morning my little sunshines!!  Welcome back.  I have been MIA for a week or so.  Soooo much going on. Holidays, family emergencies, LIFE.  It all seems to show up at one time.  LOL  Anyway we are on to more Copic coloring.  Thank goodness because I sure could use some stamping time. 

It's challenge time over at CMC and this one is hair raising. :-)  Your challenge is to color hair in crazy colors.  How cool is that?  I have to say that I see a lot of teens with some pretty crazy hair color.  Me on the other hand...not so much.  My image from Simply Betty called Lilly Pie is what I looked like in my kitchen on Thanksgiving.  Click the CMC link above for all the challenge details.  If your not sure how to color hair, Suzanne has some awesome classes to help you out. 

Well I'm off to finish some home projects with the hubby.  Then hopefully I'll be able to sit back and get to coloring up my images for my Christmas cards.  I usually have well over 100 done by now.  I think I might have 15 done so far.  Long way to go with just a little bit of time left.  Oh well, such is life.

Heart Song Inspiration Challenge #24

Happy Monday everyone.  It's time for another Heart Song Inspiration Challenge.  The challenge this week is to use gold and/or glitter on your card.  You can't really see it that great in my photo but I used gold glitter to make my dots on my card and also on my gold leaves.  For some darn reason I could not get a good shot of this card.  :-(  Well, I know that you will do better than me so let's see your gold/glitter cards this week.  Remember you have until Sunday  6pm (MST) to get your card loaded.  To check out all the details head on over to the Heart Song Inspirations blog.  Hope you join us this week.

Second Posting - Deals of The Week at YNS

Hey everyone. This is my second post for today.  I thought my first post was up and running but when my husband and I got home from Savannah it wasn't on my blog.  That's what happens when you disconnect from blogland for three days.  My hubby and I had a very nice relaxing three day weekend in the historic district in Savannah.  So much history in Savannah.  And of course the food and alcoholic beverages just add to the charm (had a drink at Wet Willies that knocked my socks off LOL).   Here's a photo of us hamming it up on River Street.  Just broke in my new "winter" hairdo.  I'm crazy....I have a summer look and a winter look.

Also, I wanted to pass some info onto you.  Karen at YNS has an awesome deal of the week going on.  For more details click here.  Some of the DT members has some amazing samples to show you too.  There are some new additions to the bargin bin as well.  So head on over to YNS and see what goodies you can pick up.  Well, it's time to unpack and come back to reality.  Have a great week everyone.  See ya back here tomorrow.

YNSC #55 - All About Friends

Good morning my lovely peeps.  So glad you have stopped by today.  I know it's been a week since I have posted anything but I have been one busy girl lately.  Today is Wednesday and the DT of Your Next Stamp has some wonderful cards to show you for our challenge.  We are showing love to our friends.  I'm spreading a little bit of holiday love to my favorite friends.  This adorable image from YNS called Light Me Up was perfect for the start of my holiday cards.  He's precious.  LOL  I combined  the newly released Light Up The Holidays cling set and die for my card.  You have to head on over to YNS if you haven't seen all the new goodies available.  The paper is from My Minds Eye Wonderful Winter Glitter Christmas Paper Pack.  Love, love, love this paper.  I also want to welcome the ever so talented Jen del Muro to the YNS Design Team.  So glad you are with us Jen.  I'm a huge fan of your work girlie. :-)  You have to head on over to her blog.  It's full of amazing creations.

I'm going to list the Copics I used for my image and lights just in case you want to color him up too.  Here's the colors:

Skin:  E00, E02, E11
Hair:  E23, E25, E27
Hat, Gloves, Shirt and Boots:  R17, R27, R46, YG91, YG93, YG95, E25, E27
Pants: B95, B97
Lights: R17, R46, YG91, YG97, BG000, BG72, BG75 and Colorless Blender

I added some Crystal effects to the lights to make them look more like glass/plastic bulbs. I love these cool colors together with a pop of red. Blues, greens, browns with a pop of color have always been a color combo I loved.  If you are still needed some work with using your Copic Markers, head on over to Color Me Creative Classroom and get started on a class.  You won't be sorry.  I'm also entering my card in the Tuesday Throwdown,  There She Goes  and ABC DT Challenges.  The DT members at ABC Toys and Crafts are really showing their Christmas side too.  Thanks for stopping by today.
