I really felt good with my last post, I wish I could have stayed on track.

Sassy has had some awesome challenges the last two weeks! Unfortunately I've stayed out of them due to lack of confidence. I have felt I couldn't due them justice, hopefully the next one I can get in on.

I decided to try a new challenge this week plus the Outlaws have started their new challenges so I'll be able to concentrate on them, they are awesome!

The down time has not gone to waste though. I've had the time to catch up on the digi's I've colored when I'm sick which I really needed to do.  I've been able to get 85% of them done. Plus I've been spending money ordering supplies. Who doesn't find they need things while finishing the cards? My biggest miss have been charms. I thought I had a lot but I found I need more as I did not have what I needed. I found a new site so I'm anxious to try them, I'll be sure to post how they do.

Till later this week I hope everyone has a great week.

I can't believe I'm acutally ahead a little this time around on the challenges! I'm glad things are getting back to normal. I do have a lot to do for Christmas though.
I've probably spoken too soon though as Sassy's is a little different this time around. I've printed everything off but I'm still not sure in which direction to go.
I went to a stamp class the other night and I had totally forgotten what to do, lol. It's been so long since I've done any stamping I was in temporary shock. I will admit it only took a couple minutes for everything to come back to me. I just prefer the digital as I feel I have more control over the coloring. Crazy right?

This is my second card for the Outlaws challenge.

When I saw these digi's my mother came to mind immediately. She always had coffee on for anyone who dropped in and she especially loved Christmas, so I had to combine them.

I colored the digi's in with copices, making two for each item so I could pop them out. I mounted them on my new die from Cherry Lynn called Sophia's Heart. I created a small saying and the words Merry Christmas, mounted a couple flatbacked holly leaves I had, and finally I used stickles on the pointsettia centers for a little bling.

The copics I used are as follows:
R20, 27, 29, 29
BV17
Y08, 18
G14, 16, 19
E51, 53, 55, 57

This is my first card for the Outlaws challenge.

I used my copics to color the digi, mounted it on one of Stampin' Ups doilys, added a piece of snowflake ribbon I had, and added a couple snowflakes from one of Martha Stewart's punch. I used stickles on the candle wick and the middle of the pointsettia to help give it a little bling. I still wasn't happy so I added some clear crystals I picked up at Joann's to the snowflake centers and on the ribbon.

Unfortuneately the purple in the paisley's dosen't really come through very good. I hope you like it.

The copic colors I used are as follows:
RV63, 66, 69, 91, 95, 99
Y04, 08, 18
C01, 03
100
R20, 29, 39
G03, 14, 19

This card is my entry for the Sassy Studio challenge. I had a hard time to get a clear image of the saying as you can see. I made the card a lot larger than I usually do but I felt this was needed here.

I colored the digi in with copics, mounted it on  Cherry Lynn's sophia's heart, added a saying from Gingers, added a bouquet of prima flowers along with a single rose on the saying, and finally I added some crystals to the top corners for some bling. I hope you like them.

The copics I used are as follows:
G09, 24, 28, 40
RV13
E00, 01, 11, 42, 43, 53, 55, 57
R20

Hi All,

A few people have asked me where I get my paper from. As I am a Creative Memories Consultant I use their product, some of it is ancient as it was unsold at the time (boy do I have a lot of that!). Paper goes a long ways for me as I make my own borders for scrapbooking. With our scrapbooks you don't need to use a piece of DSP for every page like you do with a lot of scrapbooks and this saves on paper. Plus I can always use the 4x6" for cards instead of photo mats.

Please feel free to follow the link on the side to view what they have currently, they change their lines every July, sometimes in February they will make adjustments.

This is the second card I did for the Outlaws challenge. These are a new color combination for me and I'm not sure I like it. Maybe it's because it's so different.

I colored the cat in with copics before I used my snow marker and my black and brown puffy velvet markers just in case there was an area that showed through. I then used stickles on the tags and the cats eyes. Lastly I added a couple tree brads, a ribbon from my stash, and some green crystals for bling.

The copic colors I used are as follows:
N02, 08
R17, 29, 39
G09
E08, 09, 18, 51, 53
