WOW - three in a row!!!

See - I told you I'd be back today with another post!!! I think I sat a record here with a post 3 days in a row!!! LOL!!

This is one of the cards that we did last month for the Copics 101 Class I taught at Stamp Express. I just LOVE this Ian stamp from The Greeting Farm. Isn't he just the cutest thing? I think I may just use this one again for the next Copics 101 Class.

I stamped the Ian image and colored him with my copics markers. Used Scalloped Rectangle Nesties to cut him out. The paper is Coordination. I really like this paper. If you haven't used it yet, give it a try. It is textured and if you tear it, sand it, emboss it, etc, it looks sooooo cool. They carry a big selection of this down at Stamp Express, so if you are in the area, stop in a give it a try!! I can't remember who the DS paper is by, but I got it down at the store also. We put red brads in the corners of the under layer, and viola - done. Cute, but simple. We concentrate more on coloring technique than fancy cards in the copics class!!

OK - now I need a nap!! LOL!!! Posting 3 days in a row wore me out!!!

Have a super duper day!!

PSF/Dork Swap

The PSFs and Dorks did another swap back in March. This time it was a Thinking of You/Sympathy card using spring colors. Here is what I came up with for this one.



The image is from Stampavie (I just LOVE these stamps!!!). I used my copics to color the image and then used the blender solution on a wash rag to give the bears fur some texture. The image is cut out with a nestie labels set (can't rmember the name of the label - opps and I'm not at home so I can't go check!). I then used my copics airbrush around the edge of the label and on the sentiment to add some color.

OK, short and sweet post (just like me - LOL!!). Come back tomorrow to for another card - Yes - REALLY - I have another card to post tomorrow!!! Now don't go passing out on me cause I will have 3 posts in a row!!! LOL!!

Hope everyone has a super day!!

New Grandson and a Baby Frame

I'm a grandmother again!!!

My son and daughter-in-law had a new little bundle of joy last week. All are doing well and I am so blessed to have another beautiful grandchild. This makes 6 now (wonder why I'm feeling old?)1 granddaughter and 5 grandsons.

I went down to their house and watched my grandkids while mom and dad were at the hospital. Nothing better than spending the day with two of my grandkids. We had a wonderful time playing while awaiting the arrival of their little brother. But, I do have to be honest and say that they sure wore me out!!! LOL!!!

After their new baby brother arrived, we went to the hospital to meet him. He is just the sweetest little thing. His big sister and big brother just LOVE him so much already as you will soon see in the pictures.

Needless to say, I took LOTS of pictures and printed them off already. Over the weekend I made a picture frame to give my son and daughter-in-law. I feel bad that there are no picture of "mom" with the new baby, but she would have killed me if I had posted them anyways!!! LOL!!! We will make sure to get lots of new pictures that include mom and put them in the frame later.

So anyhow, here is the frame that I made. Let me just say, that this is not the original paper I planned on using. (Remember when using stripped paper on such a project, have plenty on hand in case you screw it up!!!) GRRRR - It was fun trying to match up the stripes with non repeating pattern paper. LOL!!

Introducing "Mason Parker":



And here is a rare photo you will see of me - but I just had to share the picture of me with the 3 grandkids.

(And yes, on April 7th, I was in shorts and a tank top in Central PA!!! It was HOT that day - as in 90 degrees!!! Such a very rare thing in this neck of the woods!!!).




Hope everyone is doing well, and I have a few more things to post this week.
