Puppy Love

It is hard to believe that Valentine's Day s right around the corner. It feels like the new year is already flying by.  I am going to keep my chatter to a minimum today and just let you know about the new challenge at the CMC Copic Challenge Group.

**COLOR WITH TEXTURE **

color ANY image as long as you

SHOW SOME KIND OF TEXTURE

(furry, dirt, gravel, fuzzy, rocks, brick, wood, weathered, etc)

We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!

Our wonderful sponsor this time is The Stamp Fairy.  They have the cutest digis just perfect for your Valentine. I used Hugo for my card today.

 I created texture by using short flicking motions in the direction that I thought the hair would grow going from dark to light.  I also drew the heart flower and added a gravel path.  I used Deconstructed Sketch 86 for my layout, I loved this one and the Heart Die cut is from Spellbinders.

Copics

 C7, C5, C3, C1/R29, R27, R24, R89/E43, E41, E40/B000/G24

Colors of Love CMC Challenge

Hi everyone!!  I am a few days later than I would like to be getting this post up busy week.  I am so excited that I am going to get the chance to go to Waco to take the wonderful Suzanne Dean's CMC Copic Class next weekend and will finally get to meet this wonderful lady and get some great tips too.  There are still some spots open so if any of you live in Texas I would love to meet you too.  You can get all of the info right HERE.
There is also a new challenge up at The CMC Copic Challenge Group.

NEW CHALLENGE #36 will run until February 17th!

Your challenge this time is all about

 ** COLORS OF LOVE**

In honor of Valentine's Day we want to see you using pinks and reds and whites & creams!

Show your LOVE all over your projects!

We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!

 I just love making these treat pulls for Valentine's Day, so fun!!  This weeks sponsor is the fabulous Stamp Fairy and for my projects I used Lenny Love.  So I have to tell you I missed the part of the challenge that said "red, pink or white" and I didn't realize it until the day the challenge went live.  Since I am not much of a rule breaker I quickly recreated a pink version of the pull, too bad I was half asleep and forgot to shadow most areas, LOL.

CMC Challenge Guest Designer- Fall Fun

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!! I am so excited to share my project today that I made as a Guest Designer for the CMC Challenge Group.  If you haven't already you really should join in on the fun,  There are great challenges and always great prizes to be won and you too could be selected to be a Guest Designer.

Challenge #26 FALL OR HALLOWEEN Theme using YOUR COPICS, COPIC REFILLS OR COPIC AIRBRUSH SYSTEM (Or ProMarkers if you have them).

 This weeks sponsor is The Stamp Fairy and I was given this adorable Chubby Scarecrow 1 to work with..love him!!  I used this great new fall paper by Bo Bunny called Forever Fall along with The Upsy Daisy & Dizzy Doily Die-namics by MFT to create the fall bouquet. I loved the unexpected "pop" of color this paper has so I played off of that.
Here is a close up of the bear so you can see the added touch of raffia to his sleeves and hat.
