A Special Day

Hi there.  It's finally Friday!  Are you all as ready for the weekend as I am?  I've got a quick post today to share a card I made with this cute image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I used one of my new packs of MME papers.  Aren't they cute?  This digi was printed onto Cryogen White cardstock and  colored with Copics (BG49, BG45, BG11/YR68, YR65, YR61/E11, E00, E000, R20/E35, Y21, Y11/E18, E15, E11/V17, V12/C9, C5, C3, C1/E43, E41, E40/BG10).  I love this ribbon I got on Etsy.  The lace and button are from my stash.  The twine and rhinestones are from my LCS.  I made the pin myself.  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Don't forget that there is still time to enter the Anything Goes challenge at the CMC Copic Challenge.  You have until May 25th and there is a great prize up for grabs.

Challenges:

Card Patterns - Sketch
Crafty Catz - Girlie Time!
Creatalicious - Bingo (lace, ribbon, buttons)

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello again and Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there!  I hope you enjoyed your day.  We've got another challenge for you over at the CMC Copic Challenge group, and it's an easy one...Anything Goes!  That's right, anything your little heart desires as long as you use your Copics, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or colored pencils.  Here is my card.

This is my Mother's Day card to my mom.  Hi Mom!  The digi is from Bugaboo Stamps and the paper is from Graphic 45.  I stitched a couple of the panels and colored the image with my Copics (C9, C7, C5, C3, C1/R59, R39, R22/G99, G94, G40/BG78, BG72/W5, W2, W00).  I've had the ribbon forever, but I used my Bow-Easy to make that cute little bow.  The brad in the center of it is from my stash.  To the right of my image (although they are hard to see) are 3 rhinestones from my stash that I have colored with my BG75 Copic marker.  I have totally stopped buying colored rhinestones.  I buy the clear ones and then use whatever Copic color I want to color them to match my card.  I just LOVE that!

Our sponsor is Some Odd Girl and the winner will receive 3 digis from Some Odd Girl.  Plus, don't forget that each entry goes into a monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  Two chances to win.  How great is that?  You have until May 25th and anyone can play along.  Head over here for more details.

Happy Birthday Suzanne!

The Color Me Creative Design Team has a secret!!!  Today we are hopping along to wish our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean, a VERY happy birthday!!!  Suzanne is the owner/creator of the Color Me Creative site and, as many of you know, teaches her Copic classes online and on the road!  She is one busy momma and we thought we'd take time to wish her a happy day and hope she gets to sit with her Cherry Coke and donuts (ya, a fav combination of hers!) and relax a bit today and enjoy the hop!

Each of us decided it would be fun to remember Suzanne today in "typical Suzanne" style!  Our creations will either help remember a "funny travel moment" with Suzanne or... share a secret about Suzanne.  Ha!!!  Bet she didn't see this coming!!! LOL

Here is what I created today....

If you've ever been to Suzanne's On the Road class, or read her blog, or seen her in the airport, you know she loves to dance.  I'm thinking hands in the air and hips swingin'.  I imagine you could catch her shaking her groove thing at the country concerts that she goes to as well.   Just look out because you know she'll try to get you to join.

Now hop on over to the rest of the DT's sites to see what they are sharing about Suzanne.  ;-)

Hey, hey, hey!  Quick post today.  I wanted to share another notepad card that I made, this time using an image from The Digi Shack.

I used my Copics to color the image.  The papers are from Creative Imaginations and the flowers are Prima, Recollections, and WOC.  I used my MS punch for the leaves.  The lace is from my LCS and the pretty pink and brown ribbon is from Paper Temptress.  The pin is another from my stash that I made recently.

DINO-mite!

Hello again and I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.  We've got another challenge for you at the CMC Copic Challenge.  This challenge is all about Celebrations.  Color your images that celebrate something.  Our sponsor, The Pixie Cottage, gave us each an image and I chose Polkadotasaurus.

As soon as I saw this image I knew he needed to be blue and green.  Luckily I had these totally cute papers from MME that look great with it.  Of course, I colored him with Copics (BG13, BG11, BG10/G24, G21, G20/Y11, R20/W5, W2, W00).  I put some DCVW white core cardstock in one of my new embossing folders and ran it through my Cuttlebug, then sanded it down a bit.  The twine is from my LSS and the buttons were in my stash.

We would love for you to join us for the challenge.  One randomly chosen person will get a $10 gift voucher from Pixie Cottage Stamps, plus all entries go into a monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  Go here to join the fun.  Anyone can play along.

Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Animal Magic
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - Embossing
Papertake Weekly - Sketch
Cards for Men - Texture
Kaboodle Doodles - Emboss it!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
