RAWR.....Hello in Monster




Wow!  I have not been crafting in so long!!!  We thought we were moving, and I packed up my craft room.   Life circumstances changed and we stayed in our home.  Finally, I have unpacked some supplies and decided to get back into doing challenges.  This card is just so fun, and it made my hubby laugh.  I know the recipient will smile big too!  Not only is this card fun for kids, but adults too!  Thanks for popping by!

The Daily Marker Color Challenge Day #6






For the Daily Marker Color Challenge image today, I decided to color snoopy!  I got this stamp set so that I could make about eight birthday cards for all the men birthdays in March.  So I inked the stamp up, and tried a bit of coloring!  So I cannot wait to figure out how to use this in card soon! Thanks for zooming by......

The Daily Marker Color Challenge Day 5





For Day 5 of the Daily Marker Color Challenge, I decided to color this cute image by Newton Nook Design.  I really want to master coloring fur!  It is so hard.  I am working on my technique and plan on trying to use some images that have animals who need their fur colored!  Thanks for stopping by for Day 5.

Come join the fun!  It is for everyone!

The Daily Marker Color Challenge Day 1






I have seen the 30 Day Coloring Challenge for a couple of years.  However, today, I decided to join the challenge.  Life has changed, and I am ready to up my coloring skills so that my cards will be gorgeous.  Kathy, the organizer of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge, says you should start with one image on Day 1 and then color the same image again on the last day.   So be prepared to see this image again at the end of the challenge!

Why did I choose such a complicated image???  It all goes back to the time I colored a Pig, and was scared to death to color a pig. I was so full of fear that I did not have the skills to color the pig.  My friend, Cailtin, laughed at me and said, "I have never heard of anyone scared to color a pig."  But in my mind, this pig seemed so complicated to color!  If you would like to check it out, please visit This little Piggy Says Thanks

This image has so many animals, and the bull was super scary for me this time.  As I was coloring, I just started adding more and more color.  I colored the sky and the grass.  I tried to shadow the animals, so I hope this improves over the thirty day challenge.  I would love to see my grass scene improve.  I would like more detail in the fur of the bull!  I like my sky, but if it can improve - how awesome!

I used copic sketch markers on everything, except the goat!  Kathy had used Sharpie markers to color for Day 1, so I used Bic Markers to color to goat, of course!  If you are a recipient of my cards, then be prepared because I plan on using these images over the next 30 days on cards!  Thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary Love







My in-laws are celebrating their anniversary this week!  I used this cute sketch by Freshly Made Sketches to make their card this year.  I used the Newton Nooks Holiday Smooches stamp set.  The hearts were embossed onto black card stock withe red embossing powder.
