CHRISTmas Memories


Here is a card I created back in 2012 using the braided ribbon technique. I'm dropping by to let you know my day was so busy, it was impossible to complete the finishing touches of my Copic Tutorial. I am all prepared however to have it posted Monday morning. You will enjoy some of the different ways I made textures. The matching envelope is very unique as well. I look forward to seeing you Monday! Thank you for your understanding. I'm heading to Erie PA to a Ladies Conference tomorrow. I am excited to see so many friends there, and enjoy a luncheon too! God Bless, and I'll see you Monday!

Copic Coloring...Adding texture to large stamped images. Part 1 of 2 Completion of Card, including the Envelope will be in part 2 tomorrow!

Thanks for joining me today. I was asked to do some Copic video's, with some of the techniques I use on different stamped images. I said I would love to do that! Here is video one, of a series of video's I will do in the next week. The downloading of each video takes so long, but I will try and get one out each day. Thanks ever so much for your sweet comments, and subscribing to my Blog. I wanted to let you know that this is the beginning stage of the START to FINISH Card. I will be showing how to pick colours for your card construction.  I'm going to finish the skirt with much more colouring with Copic's, to ad shading, and textures, so the skirt looks like she's TWIRLING...smiles. We will spray our paper flowers to match her dress, and the final WOW FACTOR will surprise you. We have the skin tones, and my favourite part of colouring "the HAIR"! I think you will luv the end result! I've included a matching envelope with a cool addition I think will surprise you!  See you in the morning!

A Distress Haul, plus a little more.

Thanks for joining me in my Craft Room. Well, I have a bad flu bug, and Strep throat, and still managed to get some bargains! There is something about the word SALE, that reels me in every time!..lol..I am preparing for winter, and that means settling in my Craft Room and actually using the things I buy. The only purchase I am waiting for is a 72 set of Derwent Inktense Pencils, and a set of 15 Avery Elle Pigment Inks, that I can't wait to use. These are new, and dry quicker than other Pigment Inks, which is awesome. The colours are absolutely stunning, and vibrant. I have a 25 set of Derwent Inktense Pencils, but I loved all the other colours that were in the extended set, so I splurged. Haha....I bought the Inktense blocks some time ago, and they are wonderful to use! I'm getting my CHRISTmas Cards ready to create, and that will keep me busy. I'd like to extend a thank you to all my subscribers. God Bless

One GORJUS Haul

Thank you for joining me in my Craft Room. I really had a wonderful vacation, but it's good to be home after 16 days away. I had this order delivered on Tuesday, and finally decided to open it today. These GORJUS STAMPS, with MATCHING PAPERS, are by far one of the nicest stamped images for colouring, and matching up with their own paper line, that I have purchaced thus far. The packaging is astoundingly beautiful, the quality is amazing, and the price is affordably delicious....SMILES. I was so smitten with the colouring images, I had to order all of the GORJUS PRODUCTS for my crafting pleasure. Some of the sets are on back order, as well as the matching papers. I look forward to the wonderful cards they will produce. I will see you on the next card creation, as I colour them with my Copics! Thanks for dropping by!
