Can you believe it is May 1st already?? Copic Creations NEW challenge is to color on anything besides cardstock! AND....get this...COPIC is sponsoring this challenge!! AND....THEEEEE SALLY LYNN MACDONALD has joined us as a guest for this challenge! Wooooo Hoooo! You really gotta check out the dt blog this time!! Very cool stuff! Which brings me tooooo...About a week ago I was able to attend a HUGE stamp show here in Akron Ohio and found this awesome stamp company! Stampsmith! If you love Vintage/Retro images...you gotta check out this site! I got this really cool sheet called "Rock N Roll". I inked up John Lennon with 3 SU ink pads and sprayed it with water then stamped on Neenah cs. I then colored up some (Melody Ross) chip art birds with Copics and blended them together AFTER I had stamped them with "Peace" (from a lcs) in Memento black. I used BG Ambrosia dp , an EK border punch and here is the list of copic colors: BV13,08-YG95- YR blend (several) and added some shiny bling spots! Just a note...this rubber sheet has other "rockers" on it too..if u r interested in it= it is not on the main site so email them (Stampsmith) and they will direct you to the correct page. NOW..Get over to the dt blog and check out the FAB work of my DT Sistas!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

A Favorite Phindy image to share...

This is called "Just A Wee Bit" I pulled out my copics and used my DCWV Mod Retro stack. Love that new dp- perfect for alot of images! I used my SB die cut and the sentiment is computer generated. Gotta love this image! Check out what the other girls picked out to design with and link up yours at the blog!! Happy Friday!

Get in on the fun! Shirley's 2 Girls is celebrating Mother's Day over at the challenge blog. Yep- it is Thurs and time for another challenge with a prize to be won over at S2G! This is "Mother's Day Tray"and I thought it was a super quickie for your mom or a friend! As you can see I just colored my image with Copics, cut it out and popped it up on the "book" SB die. The dp is to look like a newspaper or book (hope it does!) and it is from Classic K Margo mat pad (K & Co). The sentiment is computer generated. tfl!

Time for the "2nd PHINDY challenge"! :)

This sweet little girl image is called "celebrate with cake" from Phindy's place! When I first started checking out the "Phindy" store I fell in LOVE with this image. There was no doubt in my mind that I HAD to have it. The challenge this week is to use a Phindy and image AND ribbon on your card! My ribbon on the bottom was from Walmart! Been hoarding it I guess- and the dp is old- called Shabby Princess by Bo-Bunny . I colored her with Copics and sewed around the edges. The little punched tags were from a punch I got for a dollar at my lcs. Make sure you check out what the other dt girls did (list on my side bar) and play along with us!! tfl and have a great weekend!!

Spring has finally Sprung!! At Shirley's 2 Girls!

It is Thursday and time for another challenge at Shirley's 2 Girls! The "girls" at Shirley's 2 Girls are ready to show of many of their digital Spring images! The "twist" this Thursday is to use FLOWERS...Yep! Simple and Easy...use any color, any sketch, any image and then use a flower!! Make sure you post your card/project to the blog so we can show off your work! (and I think you mite like some "candy" too! ) My image is called "Cat on the Fence" and I colored him with Copics. I cut out the flowers and popped them up and matted him on some BG Indian Summer dp then onto some other dp (sorry- not sure)- and used some MS border grass punches. The sentiment is computer generated. TFL! Hope you will join us for this challenge! Check out the other dt members to see their creations!

Anne, Ann, Lisa, Judy, Jeannie, Jana, Gina, Georgia, Deanne, Cat and Carlie! :)

NEW "SPRING BREEZE" by Phindy!

Here is my card using a NEW image over at Phindy's Place called "Spring Breeze"! Will you just look at that sweet baby in the basket?? How darn cute is that??ha ha! I LOVE to hang my clothes on the line in the Spring- and I thought of MY mom when coloring this- that's why THIS mom ended up with the dark hair. My mom would have LOVED this image ...She had 8 children- 6 girls and 2 boys...dont know how she ever did it. I colored her with many Copics and sponged the sky lightly then I added some grass. The sentiment is computer generated and I added some grass there. Dp is Cosmo Cricket mini deck called "Material Girl". Can you just imagine the sweet Vintage/ Retro cards you could make with this image?? Doesnt time fly by? Today is also my Anniversary of 31 yrs - married to my best friend! I consider myself blessed! Take a look over at Phindy's place if you havent been there for awhile- there are some VERY sweet images to check out! TFL!
