Best Buds-CMC Challenge Time

So even though I have been back from vacation for a little over a week it took me that long to get back into the swing of things and to get crafty again.  How was everyone's Halloween? We had a fun one here lots of decorations and costumes all around.  Me and the hubby love to dress up with the kids, I guess you could say it is expected but let me tell you something that totally got on my nerves this year.  Parents who bring their kids up to Trick or Treat and then hold up a bag of their own..seriously? And I am not talking just one we had three in a row that did that, it was unbelievable.   Since when is it OK for adults to get candy it is about the kids.  Is this common or just happening in my neck of the woods? Anyway I wanted to share a couple of pictures of our night.  I also updated the previous post because I was told my Disney slide show isn't working on some computers.

  

Best Buds

It is time for another challenge over at CMC Copic Challenge Group  and it is all about Boys.  So get out those boy images ,Copic markers or ProMarkers if you prefer and join us.  We have the fabulous Mo's Digital Pencil as this weeks sponsor so you won't want to miss your chance to win.  I got the privilege to use this cute image called Taking a Break.

I normally use ink to create my sky back grounds but this time I did it entirely with Copics and I must say I am very happy with the way it turned out.  I am going to add it to my list of tutorials to make and add here on my blog when time becomes my friend.

Sweet Stop's 100th Sketch - Have a Sweet Birthday Mom!!

Wow, how fast this week has gone!! I am so sorry I haven't gotten anything posted all week, it was a bit crazy here with Spring Break sleepovers, spring cleaning and all day playing.  Oh, I almost forgot...I finally have a crafting/work space of my own.  No more cleaning of the kitchen table before meals and at 3:00 at night, thank you IKEA and my wonderful husband.  I still have some orgnainzing to do but it is getting there.

Today is my mom's birthday so today's card is for her. " Happy Birthday Mom, I Love You!!"

"

Today's sketch at The Sweet Stop is Korin's 100th sketch, Wow.. I don't know how she does it, she is awesome!!  I really hope you will play along with us this week with the theme" How Sweet" there are some great prizes- a $25 gift certificate to Sweet n'Sassy and and the latest CD From Technique Junkies Emboss or Die.

 This image worked out perfectly for the theme and it is from Mo's Digital Pencil called Birthday Fairy Lee and the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions For the Love of Cupcakes.   I fell in love with this paper from The Girl's Paperie called Vintage Whimsy.  I was very happy with the layout and distressing that I added with my distressing tool along with Distress Ink Linen however, when you get to my coloring, uugh!! I did some horrible procrastinating on ordering Copic refills and ran out of my R81 not to mention I can never seem to find the right pink combination in my collection, either to bright to coral.  My favorite is R81,83 and 85 but I wish there was a combo that has this tone but a bit lighter so if anyone has a favorite combo please let me know. I added some Crystal Stickles for some shimmer the swirl is from Sizzix and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.
