Fussy & Fancy Challenge 63: New Baby

Good Morning to All,

I hope this day finds everyone having some fun, especially since it's friday! This week at Fussy and Fancy  it's all about the wee ones. I just love the sweet smell of little babies and all the cute snuggles and smiles. This is my wee card for New Baby.

This card also reminds me this month is my daughters birthday, wow it's really been 22 years. The Wee Ones card was created using card stock and printed paper from We R Memory Keepers " baby mine" boy line. Spellbinders for the scalloped square, edge punch from ek, ribbon from BoBunny and candy dots from Pebbles. The stamped image is " Monica With Pacifier " from House Mouse. The image is colored with Copic markers. Thanks for stopping by and visiting today at Fussy and Fancy. Now lets see your Wee creation.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

R #69 Spring

 

Good Morning Ladies,

  Well here it is, Friday again. This is such a fun challenge this week at crafts 4 eternity it's all about SPRING!!! I love this time of year with the beautiful flowers, warmer weather and lots of grilling on the BBQ. This is also a time when my husband and I enjoy going to the classic car shows. So without further ado here is my ode to spring. 

The image is a Magnolia colored with Copics and flower soft added to give some dimension to her flowers and flower basket. The printed paper is from My Minds eye and the edges were distressed and inked. The bow is made from a paper template and the Butterfly is a MS punch. 

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

Fussy and Fancy DT Call " Three Favorites"

Well hello again for the second time today,

I have just recently decided to join the blogging world again and to try and toss my hat into the DT ring again.  I have been on DT previously and always had great fun and really miss the fellowship. I now work part time and I am able to give more time to the craft I love. I have been designing for about 4 years and teaching the Copic Marker technique for the last 2 years at a couple of our towns LSS. This is for the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge. They have asked for our 3 favorite creations, so since I have only restarted blogging there are so few to chose from. These were all colored with Copic markers, but I also color with distress inks and colored pencils with gamsol. Here are my submissions, wish me luck.

Back for More Crafting Fun

Hello Crafty Gals,

I have been busy this week with a new card and I have also decided to try out for a DT or two. This weeks  creation was for 4 different card challenges. The first is Papertake Weekly this was a Bingo challenge. My three in a row was gem, die cuts and flowers. Then there were 3 challenges for Anything Goes this week Whimsy Challenge Blog Challenge #31, Creative Inspirations Challenge #155 and Cute Card Thursday Challenge #209. The 2 DT I have tried out for is at Crafts4Eternity and Fussy and Fancy. Wish me luck.

This sweet card was made using the My Minds Eye "Stella and Rose" collection. The sketch is one of my own. This card also contains Bazzill Brown and Flamingo Card stock, Kaiser Craft pearls, Stitching by machine, ( I know it is not straight, I am horrible at sewing sorry), Prima Flowers, the flourishes are done with a sizzix die and this cute little spring image is a Digital Stamp " Little Rapunzel" from Elisabeth Bell Designs. The image was lovingly colored and airbrushed with my favorite coloring medium, Copic Markers. Thanks again for visiting the blog.

Wee Silver Fairy of Gossamer and Gold

Good Sunday afternoon fellow crafters,

It feels so good to be back in the crafting game again. It has been over a year since I have done anything just for fun and not for teaching. So I have been surfing the net and sadly find I really need to update my blog. I was disappointed to see many of my favorite card challenges are no longer open. I did however, find some amazing new ones. This card is for two of these new challenges for me. The first is Fussy and Fancy and of course the theme is "Fairies", the second is Papertake Weekly Challenge with a theme of "Anything Goes".

This gorgeous beauty was created with the Silver Fairy Digital Stamp from Wee Stamps. I had to visit youtube to figure out how to color her, I found a great tutorial by Suzzane Dean, so thank you so much to her for the free lesson it was of great help. I used a combination of Blues and Blue/Green Copic Markers to create the look of gossamer in her clothing this is a coloring technique where you use one color of Copic marker to push out the other color. The cloud background was made with the Copic airbrush technique. The paper edges were distressed with Vintage Photo ink by Ranger. I used a very lovely paper stack from Prima called the "Madeline Collection" the card stock is Lagoon, Brown and Natural from Bazzill. The Florals and pearls are also all from Prima. The real special highlight on the card is the glitter, I used three different items for this, star dust stickler, Gary's fine glitter with glossy accents and a Sakura Star Dust Pen. Here is a close up to get a better View of the glitter.

Thank you so much for visiting and have a great week.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

I am also going to post this at the Stampaive and More Challenge, the theme is Spring/Easter and the colors are so very spring time like I thought it would be a good fit. The images were colored and air brushed with Copic markers. The paper line is Lime Twist from My Minds Eye. The card is embellished with kaiser kraft pearls, seam binding that was colored with Copic marker to match image and PP, leaves were created with Nellie Snellen punch set and flower was created using Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Die. I hope you enjoyed this small creation as much as I enjoyed making it.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

A Friendly Word Of Warning

I have been teaching the Copic Class in the Spring / Woodlands, TX area now for sometime and it has recently come to my attention that some individual or individuals may be trying to use my class curriculum for their own classes. I do not know this for sure or that this is even true nor will I lower myself to naming anyone, but I will let you know now that this is MY MATERIAL and as such I have a copyright to it and I have this posted on the side bar of my blog. The thing that is most frustrating to me about this is that it is all my hard work and effort that may be being used by someone who put no work into it at all. It is immoral,unethical and extremely unprofessional to use someone else's work!!! The only thing I have to add to this is when you take one of my classes the handouts I give you are for your personal use only and are not to to be used to teach others with or used for any other public Dissemination. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Hugs and Happy Crafting !!!

A Blog Face Lift

Hello and long time no see I have been MIA for many months due to my teaching and work commitments and I am so glad to be able to drop a line or two I have decided to change up my blog a little. I have been bitten by the Twilight bug and I am in love with the whole thing. I had a good friend of mine do the title bar picture of my blog for me and yes those are my eyes! I just wish that was my real eye color they are actually blue green IRL. The past few months has kept me very busy with some amazing things. The first is that I have a wonderful group of Copic Students who I love coloring with very much they have been my heart and soul and supported me through this whole program to all of them thank you so much. The next item is that I will be starting my own rubber stamping company I am very fortunate to have some talented artists in the family who have agreed to help me on my way. Lastly I will no longer be teaching my Copic class at Lonestar Scrapbook company. I have decided to do private classes and I will have more information on this as times progresses. Well I hope you are having a great week.

Hugs XXX and Happy Crafting !!!

"It's Official, I am Copic Certified!"

I have so neglected my blog I sure do miss it. I have the most exciting news though, I finally got to take the Copic Marker Certification and it was fantastic. We were taught by Sally Lynn McDonald and she is AMAZING!!! Her Blog is called Inky Heart if you get a chance go by and take a look at her Beautiful blog. We also spent two fabulous days in San Antonio, TX on the gorgeous River Walk.

I have have been so busy at my new job and teaching at the local scrapbook store I feel terrible about not blogging but I hope to change that soon. I will teaching Copic classes at The Lonestar Scrapbook Company in Houston,TX starting in January 2010.

Happy Holidays & Hugs to you all
