You're So Sweet With Lawn Fawn .......

Hi everyone!! 

Happy Wednesday! 

I am back today to share the images 

I colored for Day 3 of the coloring challenge. 

It took me a bit to decide what I would be coloring today ...

I can't tell you how long that part took me. 

I need to plan ahead if I want to get my photos taken with

the correct light, lol! 

I went with the super adorable Sweet Smiles stamp set 

from Lawn Fawn (I don't think I've used this before). 

I was inspired by the colors of the Doodlebug Sweet Things paper pad. 

I used Copics to color my images in. 

For the red areas, I used R89, R46, R27, R17, and R05 with a bit of R02. 

For my pinks, I used RV19, RV55, RV63, and RV00. 

For the mint areas, I used BG34, BG11, and BG0000. 

I then created a card and turned the little gumball machines into 

shaker tags. 

I hope you enjoy my projects for today, thank you so much for stopping by.

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day! 

GOD bless you. 

Super Happy to Be Back....

Hello everyone!!!! 

I have missed you all so much! 

It feels amazing to be back in my craft room 

creating! I hope your New Year is off to an amazing 

start!!! I took a bit of a step back temporarily, and as sad 

and hard as it was for me to come to that decision I came to realize that I was not balancing 

my time out fairly. Most of my day was spent in my craft room aside from 

cooking and taking my boys to and from school. I still love crafting and I truly 

understand how fast time flies when you are doing something you love. But...I was not

doing a great job of family time. I am super happy to still 

have the love to create and I will be, but I will also be conscious of the time I am spending 

doing it. I hope you understand my absence and I look forward to sharing more 

creations with you. 

I am joining the 30 Day Coloring Challenge 

hosted by the wonderful Kathy from The Daily Marker.

I used the Mama Elephant Lunar Animals stamp set 

for my coloring. 

I began by coloring the little monkey images which I had stamped

all over to create my background. I used my Copic markers. I started 

with the E47, E57, E55, and E31. For the lighter areas, I used E21, E51,

and E50. 

For the bananas, I used Y38, Y35, and Y15.

I then decided to create cards with them. 

   I was going for a non-traditional Valentine theme.

The monkeys and the bananas go perfectly together! 

. 

                       

I can not thank you enough for taking the time to stop by and visit me!! 

I pray you each have a wonderful and Blessed day!!!

Happy Tuesday and Voting Day !

Happy Tuesday everyone ! 

Can you believe it is time to VOTE ?! 

I hope you make it out and cast your vote <3 

I did not have a chance to color and share for the

30 Day Coloring Challenge this 

past weekend . I am happily catching up . 

I truly enjoy coloring <3  

I was in the middle of coloring up some of the 

super CUTE new digis from the 

CDD shop , when I stopped to cook dinner ( good idea right ) ....

I happened to come across my current FAVE coffee mug 

and ..... drumroll inspiration struck me !!!! 

I moved the cuties 

(polar bears, bunnies, elf, ...) to the side 

and went to work on my idea . 

Here is the result of that .... one card , one insert and a planner spread !! 

I started with the card . I had a kraft base die cut from my all time favorite 

dies set : Fancy Frames . I stamped the flowers from the CDD Botanical Layers 

stamp set using my Memento Ink . I must admit I wanted the leaves as well...but I could not find it lol !! So , I pulled out a set with leaves from WPlus9 and used those . I am happy to say I did find the leaf ... a day later lol ! I started my coloring with Copic markers in the W3, W85 and W7 combination. I then pulled out my Prisma Color pencils and went over the the flowers with those. 

 For my planner pages I stamped the flowers using the same Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black in various areas. For these pages I used my Prismacolor pencils , the Copics would show through to the other side (we do not want that ) . Ohhh and it is my mini Happy Planner that I used for this layout <3 

 I forgot to take a picture of the insert by itself , I was too excited lol ! 

I used Copics and the same colored pencils to color in the flowers . 

I hope you enjoy my coloring for days 5, 6 and 7  <3 

I am off to color the one for today <3 

Thank you so much for stopping by !

Wishing you all a wonderful and Blessed day !
