Recovered

I need to get my card making mojo going running and there is no better way than a great sketch challenge!

I loved the sketch from OWH this week and I played along...

I did not like any type of design with an embellishment over the top so I just went with this.  

I need to go back and trim my chairs you would think I had little J cutting for me;)

Okay, I did it when I was at Hobby Lobby (feels like ages ago now) I saw they were selling Copic Markers with a BONUS 30% off sale and I had some 40% coupons. So I did pick up a handful for a steal compared to the going price on the Internet. I AM SO HAPPY;) I just wanted to try a few to see what they were like and now I am HOOKED on them. Anyone know when the next big Copic Marker sale will be at Hobby Lobby? The only downfall was they did not have many of the PTI color chart markers and they can not order them or give rain checks for the markers they are out of. I did find that the red and purple tended to wonder out of the lines if you colored close so I learned to leave some room around the edge and it would blend itself to the line by the time you were done coloring.

It is very relaxing indeed to color with Copics what a great stress reliever, I kick up my feet in my comfy chair and start blending away.

Off Road Mayhem part 2 December 17th
So hard to pick one fave for December I have been hard at it making Christmas gifts for my family but in the end the project I worked on for my Nephew took the top spot. I think based on the fact that I had a great time spraying the shirt is why it won and the second that I used what normally would have been trash (the liner tape for the vinyl) and figured out a way to use it.


November 9th I worked on my blog skin for the holiday using a download I purchased from Faith Sisters Store. This has been my favorite blog look of all time I had a wonderful year with Faith Sisters they have such a beautiful site and many free downloads.

October came and introduced me to digital stamps the one on this card was from MFT. I am not a big color girl on cards I was happy when I was able to PAINT this image and then print it out.

September 8th In my Cozy Chair
In August I designed this birdhouse cut on cricut ds to match the birdhouse in the new SU catalog. There is the free .cut file download you can find all my .cut files in the link under blog header. It also went with one of my favorite stamp sets released this past year PTI's Everyday Button Bits LOVE IT!

In my Cozy Chair!

First I was absent from the web due to some teenager girl issues now I am sitting in my cozy chair trying to kick some bug I picked up along the way...ACK! Every cough and sneeze is killing my back and it feels as if every body part hurts including my hair.

I made this card when I first received my On My Couch Additions set from PTI, I used the small square as wall art not sure if it was made to be art or a pillow but it works here especially with some glaze over the top of it. The additions set does not come with a table so I made my own using the Wishing you set smallest single tulip, pretty clever eh? I find this type of stamping the most fun, making something totally different then its original purpose...

Cozy Chairs, Gotta Love them!

I admit at first reveal of the PTI sets On my Couch and On My Couch Additions I disliked them very much one of the couch sets just did not even look like a couch. Well I went out of my comfort box after seeing some fab cards designed by my stamping friends and purchased the Additions set.
