Color Me Copic's 1st Challenge!!

Good Monday morning friends!  For those of you wondering we has a wonderful week in Pigeon Forge!  The girls didn't want to come home (however I was ready to get back to my own bed). 

Here's a wonderful pic of Anthony and the girls in front of the MagiQuest Castle.  Which by the way is one of the funnest things we have ever done.  How can you go wrong with magic wands and adventure quest that range from easy to really really hard?!?!  I also just found out there is a MagiQuest at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason Ohio (Anthony and I have been talking about going). 

.

Okay on to why you are here!  My extremely talented bestie Rachel and some other very very talented ladies started a blog Color Me Copic about a month ago.  If you haven't been there, go now!  Its mainly an informational and tutorial blog with tons of helpful hints.  Rach did a fantastic tutorial on coloring images black and while and issued a challenge to use the method. Te best part is that The Greeting Farm has donated the prize!!!!!!  Since Rach is my number one cheerleader and a fabulous friend I had to try my hand at it.  I'm happy I did! 

I had to add a touch of color since I bought the DCWV Black Currant stack (its so fabulous!!) at JA's the moment I saw it. I've been waiting for it since I saw a sneak peek of it.  I also used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #59 and turned it on its side.

Ingredients:

Stamp: Sweet November Stamps Fathom Calmsea

Paper: DCWV Black Currant

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Pearls: Martha Stewart

Button: Fancy Pants Designs

Flowers: Prima.

Have a wonderful Monday!!!

A card, a baby tooth and a just because!

Silly title I know.  I often have lots of trouble with titles.

Todays card is a just because card that I had to do so I could color these awesome images.  The images are from a fantastic new digi shop Amber Inks (link in my side bar also).  The set has 8 images and 1 sentiment.  And guess what?  It was free.   Not only that Amber has four other girly sets that are FREE too!!!  Can you believe that?  She just recently added some cute bunnies to her digis and the prices are awesome..  I can't wait to see what else she comes up with!  The paper is from my K&Co Wild Saffron Stack.  The images were cut using my Nestabilities Large Ovals.  I also followed last weeks OCC sketch.

 

I'm having on of those "my babies are growing to fast" Mom days.  My sweet girl Rhalynn lost her first baby tooth this morning.  She was so excited that it finally fell out.  Its been wiggly for about two weeks.  My blue eyed beauty is so proud to show off her missing tooth.

And of course I can't leave out my other blue eyed girl.  I think Clara's finally master this potty thing!

Well thats all I've got for today.  I'll be heading to Columbus tomorrow to the Memories Scrapbooking Expo!!  I'm so excited!  I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!  I'm off to put up the mountain of laundry.

I'm behind...

AGAIN!  Real quick post.  I'll link everything up later.  I just wanted to show you this really cute baby shower invite.  My sister, Nicole, asked that I make a western invite for a shower she is throwing.  I'm going to be pretty busy making these for the next month. She need 100 so I wanted to do something simple.  I'm entering this into the challenge over at The Pink Elephant.  They want to see Party Invites and what is kind of party is more fun than a baby shower?  Have a wonderful night everyone!!
