It's Your Day...

Happy Sunday to you all!  I hope you have had a great weekend.  We had a nice one here.  Today we swam a bit, headed out to see a movie, and then had steaks for dinner (yum!).  Needless to say it was a good day.  Thought I'd share a card with you today using an image that I've had for a while and finally got around to using.  I just thought this fella looked like he was having a good time.  What a great way to spend a nice day, right?

Hello

Hello strangers!  I know I've been MIA for a bit.  Hopefully I'll get back on track soon with a few more posts per week.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I know I did.  I spent Saturday with Suzanne Dean at her Color Me Creative on the Road classes.  I enjoyed meeting Suzanne and loved her class!  If you would like to learn more about Copics and different Copic techniques you should consider her class.  She also has online classes at the Color Me Creative Classroom site if you can't take her class in person, and they have special summer pricing thru July 15th.

On to this week's challenge at the Color Me Creative Copic Challenge Group.  We want to see Brunettes!

Straw Hat Tilda

Hello there!  I hope you all are off to a great start for your week!  Now I'll just warn you now that you will be seeing quite a few cards with little Tilda on them over the next few weeks.  I got a few new stamps and just love coloring up those images.  Here's the first one.

Now this is the first image I colored after taking Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative online class, and I have to say that I'm very happy with my results.  I think I've got a better grasp on the whole light sourcing thing (although I think I messed up the shadow a bit).

Anyway, have a wonderful week and I hope to see you back soon.  Don't forget about the "Fluff Your Feathers" challenge going on now over at the Color Me Creative Copic Challenge Group.  Great prizes up for grabs!

Nature's Way

Hey everyone!  I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.  We have a bright and sunny day here.  It's been a while since I shared a card with you so here we go.  I think I've mentioned a time or two how much I love the Stella and Gus stamps over at Bugaboo Stamps.  They just crack me up.  Well, here's a card I made using a Stella stamp.

Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps  Paper: Dream Street  Ink: Copics  Misc: Pearls, Ribbon, Diamond Glaze, Stickles

I used a bit of the Diamond Glaze on her glasses to give them a little shine and of course added a bit of Stickles to the ice cream on top of her cake.

New additions to the CMC Design Team

Hi everyone!  I hope you all are enjoying your week.  I'm looking forward to this weekend (I look forward to every weekend), but I'm especially looking forward to NEXT weekend.  Next weekend Suzanne Dean will be in South Carolina teach one of her CMC on the Road classes.  I'm very excited about the class and about meeting Suzanne.  She does beautiful work and I can't wait to learn from her.  I started taking one of her online classes a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled with what I've learned so far.  I've always struggled with light source and her class has taught me a better way to approach it.  I hope to have a card or two posted this weekend for you to see.

Anywho, off to my exciting news.  We've had some additions to the Color Me Creative Design Team.  I'm happy to tell you that Suzanne has added these wonderful ladies to the CMC Design Team.
