Color My World

It is hard to believe that this is the last weekend in March not to mention Easter time already.  This year is just flying by already, crazy I tell ya.  Tomorrow will be filled with dying eggs, church in the evening and always fun with the kiddos.
It is time for a new challenge at the CMC Copic Challenge Group and this is one of my favorites.
NEW CHALLENGE #65 will run thru April 12th!
 Your challenge this time is
**All About Hair**
 color ANY IMAGE but it must
include HAIR of some sort
We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!
I found this customizable album from American Crafts that holds 6x6 inserts so I thought I would use it to keep my cards in that I want to keep.  This image from Saturated Canary called Color Me Wonderful seemed like it would make the perfect cover photo paired with paper in my favorite colors.
 Copics
Hair- E57, E55, E53, E50.Y26(just a touch),RV17, RV14, RV10
Skin-E11, E00, E000, R20,R22 Eyes-B01,B000
Clothes-BG02, B01, B000/YG06,YG11
I love coloring hair and I know I get in a habit of using the same old colors so for this one I decided to mix it up and add some fun pink streaks to her hair. The paper I used is Basic Grey Out of Print.  I doodled around the image using a Copic Multi Liner 0.1.
Suzanne Dean has a fabulous online class at CMC to teach you all kinds of great techniques for hair and you can get all the details HERE.
Challenges
Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!!

Spring Time Challenge at The Paper Shelter

It is beginning to feel a lot like spring here in South Texas...who am I kidding? It is already starting to feel like summer. It doesn't get very cold here so I appreciate every little bit that we have. In honor of the start of spring the new challenge at The Paper Shelter is to create a Spring Time card.  As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on their website if you use a Paper Shelter image or 3 digis if you use another.  Fabulous prize either way!! 

 My mom's birthday was yesterday so I made this card for her special day.  Last year I got her a shadow box that holds 4x6 pictures, I thought this would be a good way for her to display the cards I give her.  However, me working on such a small card area is always a bit of a challenge, I like a lot of space:)
 I used Spring In the Heart by TPS (I just think she is so sweet) and colored it with Copics.  I sponged the clouds using a cloud template I  drew and cut out.  The paper is My Minds Eye Dolled Up and the butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.
Copics
Hair-E53,E52,E50,E31 
Skin-E11,E00,E000,R20 
Clothes-R85,R83,R81/B02,B01,B000/G21 
Background-R32,R83,R81/G82,G21/E443, E42/B02/Y23

I hope you have a great rest of the week and take time to get some crafting done.

Spring Time Challenge at CMC

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!! It was a great week here. We are on our last day of spring break and even though we didn't go anywhere I had a wonderful time with my kids. I am so blessed to have such well behaved loving kids. For that reason we got them a trampoline for some spring time fun. I love the fact they are enclosed these days back when I was a kid you just fell off and broke some bones...yikes!!
Anyway I just wanted to let you know that there is a new challenge up at the CMC Copic Challenge Group.

NEW CHALLENGE #64 will run thru March 29th!
Your challenge this time is all about
**SPRING COLORS**

Our sponsor this time is Digi My World and one random winner will win a set of digis from them.  And don't forget once a month a winner will be selected to win a $50.00 gift certificate from Oozak.
I used my Sizzix embossing Diamond folder along with Spellbinders Labels Four to create the tag.  The base was just cut out by hand. The flower punches are from The Paper Studio and the image is from Digi My World.

Make a Wish

I am so excited to be sharing my first card for The Paper Shelter Challenge. I just adore these images and have for a very long time so to be part of the wonderful team is just so exciting.  This week the "B" team is challenging you to use those Punches and Dies in your creations. As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.  They just added some new images that are just the cutest so please stop by and take a look.
 My daughter's teacher had a birthday this week so I used Pattisier In Distress and colored her to resemble my Riley.
I created the cupcake banner with the EK Success cupcake border and used MFT Die-namics Mini Tabs Quartet to go along with the challenge theme. I love the fun colors of the paper-Fancy Pants Be You collection.  I some how failed to write down the Copics I used, so sorry about that.
Challenges
Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you will visit my new team mates.  You can find all of their blogs on my side bar.
