I’m happy that my first post after this long absence is for today’s Copic Creations challenge.   I think we’ve got a great one today too!     We even have a poll on the blog for you to vote for your favorite paper.

Copic Creations ~ WARM colors

 

How cute is this little cheerleader!?    She’s from our sponsor over at the Copic Creations challenge blog this week ~ Bugaboo Stamps.   Our challenge is to use WARM colors for your Copic creation.

 

I chose this image (Bugaboo Brats ~ Cheerleader Girl) a few weeks ago, not knowing at the time how appropriate she would be for me today!  

Some of you may know that our house has been on the market … for a VERY long time!!!     I’m happy to say that after numerous negotiations last week our house is officially SOLD!!     I feel like getting out the pom poms and really cheering!!   😀

AND, we’ve found an awesome new house that we LOVE, love, love!    YAY!  

The crazy part is, after all this time with no action, both houses close in March!    Eeek.   It’s a little overwhelming right now trying to work out all the details … ours closes on March 21st, and we just found out yesterday that the new one won’t close until March 31st!    So we’ll be homeless for TEN days – along with our two cats!   hmmm…  gotta work on that!  

But, back to the Copic Creations challenge!   Here’s the full card showing me with my pom poms!!

Copic Creations Challenge ~ Orange

 

 

This week at Copic Creations, we’re featuring the color ORANGE, just in time for the Fall/Halloween season.   Our sponsor this week is the awesome Tiddly Inks digi stamp company . . . which, for those of you who visit here often know,  is a favorite of mine!   🙂

 

 

This gothic princess, illustrated by Christy Croll, is called Gossmere – and I really enjoyed coloring her!   I hope you can pop over to the Copic Creations challenge blog to take a peek at all the amazing Tiddly Ink images from the SUPER talented CC Design Team ~  you’ll definitely be inspired to join us for this fun challenge!

WARNING ~ ENABLER ALERT!    Tiddly Inks is having a 36-Hour Sale that started this morning at 12:00AM  —  Better hurry, you won’t want to miss this one!!    🙂

 

Phindy’s Place Friday Challenge

 

 

This is a tough one to post today!   I’m sad to say that this is my last challenge card as a Design Team member for Phindy’s Place.    I’ve been really overwhelmed these past few months with a few too many design team commitments and have slowly started to cut down on some, hoping to open up some much needed time to stop by and visit all my favorite blogs!   

It’s been such a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful team – Phindy is one of the nicest and most talented illustrators that I have had the pleasure to work with . . .  each and every talented  member of Phindy’s Design Team has become a true friend through these past six months.   I will miss you all!!    😦    Gosh, I don’t like to say good-bye!  

Phew!   Our challenge this week at Phindy’s Place is this fun Sketch from Anne-Marije of the team.

 

I’ve used one of the new Cuties by Phindy, called Twick or Tweet  ~   I just love that shy look on her adorable face!   Here’s my little “Glitter Girl”!

 

 

Be sure to stop over at the Phindy’s Place Friday challenge blog to see all the awesome cardz from Phindy’s team, I know you’ll be inspired to join us for this challenge.

Thanks for visiting today!    Happy Friday.
