Hey, hey...it's been a long day! I mean, I just kept wishin' the day away so I could get home and color. Now...just ask me if I got any coloring done? {hanging my head slightly} I didn't. I was doing things I needed to get done for my class this weekend, made dinner and played with the kitten. Hey, there is always tomorrow! lol
But, I do have something really sweet to show you. When we got together with Kimmie and the gang, I borrowed this Stampavie image. I added some sparkle to the dandelion puffs, and to the base of the daisy petals.
I colored this up without any paper in mind because I don't haul that with me, but I tell ya I sometimes wish I did. I found this My Minds Eye paper on clearance somewhere and even though I am not a huge lover of blues...I just love it, it's the second piece I have used of it.
Now I also have a little something else to share with you. Back in August while I was on vacation, I taught a class here in Michigan. There was a woman who had emailed me about the possibility of me giving her a private class, due to her job hours. I was gonna do it, but time being what it is, slipped away and I didn't get back with Michelle in time and long story short...she showed up in my saturday class! She wrote me a little while after that and asked for my address, she wanted to send me a book that she had an extra copy of. OMG...did my class help her with her coloring or was she just full of this talent all on her own... Michelle send me a "Stella" card and an amazing book that I personally think is the coolest cardmaking companion I have ever seen! And...if that isn't enough, the man is local and my next door neighbor practically!
" Words to the Rescue" has so many sentiments that I have already bookmarked for future use.
Steve Fadie sells his book on his own website, check it out! ...and isn't this coloring AWESOME? :) http://www.wordstotherescue.com/
Then in even more news...Ms Kraftin' Kimmie is just about launch her *new* stamp company and us girls got to play with her stamps. She is having a kick off blog hop and one lucky winner will get the whole set of her new releases...how awesome is that? But ya gotta do the hop on Monday Oct. 5th, so make a mental note to join us. Kimmie invited some of us non design team gals to play along.
Love your style. Your cards always look so clean and pretty even though there is lots going on-love your prettily colored image and the dp-so pretty! tfs
