I {heart} Copics Friday Challenge #11

This week's challenge over at I {heart} Copics is to use 2 patterned papers and 3 embellishments colored with Copics. I thought the paper I used was already pretty busy so I didn't want to clutter the card with 3 or more colored flowers. I colored pearls for her buttons, colored the ribbon stripes behind "beautiful" and the Color Me Crazy flowers with my copics to coordinate with the card.

I did some layering for a 3D affect on the umbrella. Of course it's a Miss Anya Stamp. Never used this one before so I couldn't resist.

Tonight I'm working on a basic scrapbook for my brother in Canada. Not sure any of it will be picture worthy when I'm done though. It's WAY basic, black pages and photo corners. Yup, thats it.

TGF Battle- We need votes!

The Greeting Farm Battle week 3! Stop over and show some love to the Crazy Copic Chicks. This gorgeous page was done by Louise Forsyth. It's just so sweet and I love the colors. TGF has been having some technical difficulties with the gallery today. Please be patient if it's not working right away and be sure to keep checking back.

I {heart} Copics Challenge #9

Finally made it long enough with out my Albuterol to make a card. No more shakes! Ok enough of my whining. When I read the color combo for this week's challenge, B91, Y21 and BG15... It sounded so strange... But it is SO pretty.

I'm glad to have this challenge because I've been struggling with a card for my Brother and my SIL that are expecting. I'm happy to have the inspiration...and a niece or nephew on the way.

Another week another Battle...

I'm asking again for votes over at The Greeting Farm Battle. My Blog friend, and Crazy Copic Chicks team mate, Danielle, created this bright and fun card. Stop over and help us stay in the battle for another week :)


As for me, I'm still battling with my asthma this week. 2 or more Nebulizer treatments a day are keeping me shakey. I'm waiting another 30 minutes then trying to escape to my room to see what crafting or cleaning I can get done. Thanks for stopping by.

Cast your votes!

Be sure to stop over to The Greeting Farm Battle to cast your votes. Our team is the Crazy Copic Chicks. This challenge had me written all over it. I love all things retro one of my favourite color combos is red and aqua. I had so much making this card. Please give us a vote! It's "Idol style" so the lowest votes get the boot. Please vote so we can stay in the contest and play again next week!

As for a little mischief... I went out with my girls last night... some of them had been drinking since 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It took a couple shots to catch up and bring out "Red" but a great time was had. Pleasantly surprized to arrive at the bar (last minute change in venue) to find my favorite local band playing. No Jag this time, although, Quervo and I were friends. Ran into some of my "co workers", danced, laughed and made some new friends. I really needed a night out so I'm glad I was convinced to join them...by the way... this is a pic of my 2, usually modest, friends. This is what they look like after 7 hours of drinking. Everyone is home safe and with minimal hangovers. All mischief was completely innocent. :)

Copic Challenge and my First Easel Card

A good friend asked me to make a card for his girlfriend. Something simple and silly... I got carried away and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I tried my had at my first easel card and amazed by how simple it was and what a beautiful result. I'm hooked.

I raided the supplies that I already had so I'm not sure exactly what brands everything is but I'll do my best...

It's incredible what you can accomplish when you start to get organized. Moving my desk away from the television didn't hurt either.

I plan to blog more often so I hope you'll follow along with me and my journey. Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to let me know you were here!
