Thank you card

I need more Copics…LOL. I spend way too much time trying to match colors rather than just coloring. I LOVE the color in these papers I got on a recent trip to Archiver’s and tried to pick out the little bit of blue in the paper…did it work?

I am trying to get the kiddos ready for ITBS testing next week and have been busy on the Home School front…so the blog commenting and visiting has dropped way off. I Hope you will bear with me.

The snow has finally melted here and the seagulls are now floating in the lake!

Take care and ENJOY!

Anya Coloring Book

 

You know my girls just LOVE to color any and all of the TGF stamps….so I decided to make a little coloring book. The outside is made with some cardboard and the inside ‘pages’ are plain index cards which I punched holes in. I then stamped every Anya and Miss Anya I had  (and the little animals) for them to color. I only had one jump ring (thanks Cibele for giving me the right name for the ring thingies) so please forgive the fact that one is missing. I decorated the outside with some papers I had left over from the Amy Castle Project and added a Princess Anya with some ribbon, flowers and bling . I think I am finally getting the hang of coloring the hair with Copics!!!! This particular book went to my friend’s little 6 year old sweetie pie…and I was told she loved it :0)  Using the index cards was a great idea as they are just the right size, don’t cost a bunch, and don’t need cutting. These came in a pack of 100 so I will make a couple more. Sorry about the photo…I didn’t take it in my light box so it’s not the best.

Hope you are all going to come along on Saturday and join in with the Unscripted blog hop. In the mean time stay safe and warm.

Enjoy!

My Card using Amy’s Sketch and Penny’s Challenge and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

OK, is it alright to say that you are proud of your work???? Well I am proud of this Miss Anya.  I think this is one of the best I have colored yet.  I am on the Copic  learning curve that’s for sure. So Penny’s challenge is to use NO DP’s… I random stamped my colonial white card stock with clouds and rain.

I am NOT a random stamper…despite all the tips and tricks..so I stamped these in lines  :0)   And as you may recall from THIS post there is candy up for grabs for participating in this sketch challenge…hee hee. 

Supplies: Colonial White, Dutch Blue, Grey flannel and Grey Wool CS CTMH, Nestabilities dies, Miss Anya SS TGF, Copic Markers, Prima Flowers, Cute little gem things that look like water drops form Hobby Lobby, TLC SS CTMH, Around The Block SS CTMH, Dutch Blue, Grey Wool, Grey Flannel,  Sunflower inks CTMH

Well I hope you are all enjoying a fabulous day with family! Please take a moment to be thankful for your family and the fact that you have the opportunity to be with them at the holidays. We spend our Thanksgiving alone as all my family are in the UK and hubby’s family are not in contact with us. Although I know there are times when you wish you could be alone for the holidays…be thankful you are not…we wish with all our hearts we could spend time with our family!

Have a blessed and safe Holiday.

Enjoy!
