I hope Patty will like the card I made for her because I made it with a lot of love! ~ Happy birthday dear Patty!

A little bit about the card: The image is from stamping Bella. I colored it with copics and pencils. I must say I love this coloring technique. For those who want to know, the patterned paper is from Basic Grey. I stamped the tiny “Happy Birthday” sentiment on a little tag and tied it around the ribbon bow.

      

The second card I am sharing today, I made it for my daughter’s teacher. I know Christmas is over! But I wanted to show it to you anyway. It is soooo simple but very elegant.

It was a lot of fun making this birthday card!

Okay my friends that all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by and remember to write your comments so I can visit you too!

Good night!!!

Creating something together!

Happy Monday everyone! I would like to share a card I made for Father's day this year. I have been reorganizing my cardmaking supplies and among all the things I found this cute card. My daughter helped me to make it,her little face lighted up when I told her about my plan to make a card together for her daddy. Not all the time she is allowed to use my crafty space and my supplies, but father's day is such an special day! This is the card we made:






Hopefully, I will spend more time making cards that looking for coordinating papers. I did have a good organization system, but I feel is not good anymore especially when you have too many stuff. Now I have a clear picture of what I have! ~that's a relief!

For this card, I used bazzil card stock. I stamped the image with memento ink, and colored it with copic markers. I also used for the first time my nestability labels for the focal point and also as matting for my image. What would I do without my nesties, they are one of the best investment I have made so far- there is room for some more! LOL. When I say investment, I mean I own several sets.Ah! most of them, if not all, I got them from e-bay. I didn't have a sentiment at that moment, so I wrote the sentiment with my own handwriting. Looks like an stamp, but it is not.

Hope you like my card. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Trick or Treat?

Lauren Meader sketch challenge:



Hello, I can’t believe the weekend is almost here ~ I’m happy for it!
I have a quick post to show you the card I made to participate in Lauren’s sketch Challenge. The theme for my card is Halloween. The stretch is so perfect for this card because I was able to play with different papers and textures. The image was colored with a combination of markers and colored pencils. The sentiment is part of the patterned paper; it was the perfect fit for my card.





You will notice that I highlighted the spider's web of the patterned paper with my stickles to get that shinny effect. I love glitter; I guess you can tell that by now! - LOL... Anyway, hope you like it.

Here is a closer look!



Hopefully, I will have more projects to share next week. I have so many ideas in my head, I hope I can get them down and share them with you this coming week. Before I go, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

See you soon!!!

Back-to-school challenge

Here is my entry for this challenge!




Hello everyone! This has been a long and a busy week for us. But I am ready to share two new projects I made this week. I will post them separately, so I can add a few pictures of them. The first post is for Lauren Meader My Timeless Template challenge. I was so excited when I saw the new challenge for this week. It seems like she read my mind because I was thinking to send a special gift to my daughter’s teacher. We always do that at the beginning of the school year. For this challenge, we needed to create a themed Back-to- school gift using any of her templates.

This time, I wanted to make a gift that my daughter's teacher could use for herself that’s why I came up with the idea to get bottles of apple hand soap,foam, and apple hand lotion. I was so happy to fit all of that in the same box!
Trust me they are regular size items. The template that I used for this challenge is from PTI - “FROM THE DESK OF…”- by Lauren M.





I used a digital stamp from squiggfly and colored it with my copic markers. I happened to have that beautiful ribbon so I decided to add it around the box - hope you can see it. Ah! and I also added a little touch of glitter to the apple too.



Here are two more pictures to show you the way I covered the panels using two different school theme patterned papers.


















Thank you so much for visiting me and writing me those sweet comments. I really appreciate them!

I have to go and get some sleep now. See you soon!

Cuttlebug Challenge # 44

Here is my card for this challenge!



Hope you are having a wonderful day today! the cuttlebug spot blog is having a new challenge this week. Since I made a card for my daughter, I needed to make one for my little boy as well. You have no idea how much I love my cuddlebug machine. It so easy to use and the most exciting part is that I can use my cuttlebug dies, embossing folder, and my spellbinders dies with this little machine.

Now, the challenge for this week is to make an invitation card. The image was stamped with memento ink and I colored it with copic markers. I also used my Swiss dots embossing folder to give it a little bit of texture. Guess with what I cut my circles?- yes, my cuttlebug machine!. I wanted to write my own sentiment to keep the card more personal. After I finished the card, I knew I needed to add a little bit of glitter to the wings ~ hope you can see that.I like the idea that this card can be for a B-day invitation or to be given to a child along with the birthday present.

Thanks for stopping by!

posting previously made cards

Since I have a couple of cards I made for my copic class back in March, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to share those with you as well. I colored this image with my copic markers and I also used my prismacolor pencil and Gamsol. This is a digital image from Pink Petticoat. I printed out the image on GP cardstock using my lesser printer. I was happy that I was able to color it without smearing the image when I used the markers. I also drew some grass with my colored pencils and added a border of glitter between the patterned paper and the solid color cardstock.

First pic

Hello everyone! Here is my first pic. I made this card a couple weeks ago. I took a copic class and used this card as an example of my practice. I am not an expert coloring with markers, but I love playing with them. Besides coloring with copics, I also like to color with prisma color pencils, and primacolor watercolor pencils. I just love to try different coloring mediums and see the difference between them. I don't prefer one technique over another one, that's the fun part! Let me advise you about this picture. It is not a good picture, and the color paper choices may not be exactly what I would have chosen. But remember! making mistakes is a good way to improve your work. I hope you like this pic!

Please write me a comment! I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
