Snow Inspired...

I saw frost on my car this morning and after seeing Sparkle's challenge to do a white color card, I was inspired!! I thought it would be difficult to do all one color, but it was actually really fun!
It's kind of hard to see, but the background paper is quite glittery & really helps it pop! :)

Tri Shutter Fun

I just love Tri-Shutter Cards!! They are so fun to make & really look stunning! I have made a few before & have always been thrilled with the outcome!! This card was, once again, made for a challenge - and started by drawing a heart around 'Traveling Josh'! My boys were in Karate & I was coloring to keep myself busy! LOL!! Above is the card closed & below is the card open! :)

All The Love

Second post, second challenge entry!! Whoop Whoop!! I will say, I struggled a bit more with this one! I think in the end, it finally came together & seems to be a spin off the first card. Perhaps my struggle was that I originally tried to use markers (ended up using colored pencils)? Or, perhaps, it was that I tried to get this done during nap-time! Haha! Then again, it could also be that I tried to use pink gooeyness, which is just not me (notice, I ended up using red?!)! LOL!! I still had fun & think my preferred way of coloring without Copics is with colored pencils!! They seem to provide a lot of control as to how much color gets laid on the object. Also, they are sharp...which is great with these blind eyes!! :) I might try working on different cards with this same theme & see what I come up with! I'll post pictures when I do! Have a great Tuesday!!

My First Challenge

I'm so excited to not only be posting my first blog, but also to show the card I recently entered in my first Card Creation Challenge!! I had so much fun creating this card! I just ordered this stamp from Sparkle Creations & absolutely love it! Admittedly, I need to work on my shading skills, which can be hard without all the cool tools that fellow stampers own! The copic pens I've seen are absolutely amazing...but right now, I'm stuck coloring with my kid's crayons!
