Write a Little Note

 I had to have this little guy from Twistoon!  He's called Write a Little Note and I thought he would be perfect for a little "pick me up" card for a friend.  He will eventually make it to a card and I'm colouring up another one or two for cards as well.  I added my own computer-generated sentiment.

Thinking Spring

 Despite what the groundhog may or may not have predicted... I am thinking pretty, Spring colours.

 

I had a little bit of time today and pulled out my Easter Egg Ambush image and played.  Made me happy and I hope it makes you smile too.

Teddy Bear Hug

 How cute is this image?!  Teddy Bear Hug from Twistoon.

 



I couldn't help myself so thought I'd play with texture on the bear so I did 1) Straight Blending (girl with orange shirt); 2) Colourless Blender on a Rag (girl with pink shirt); and 3) Stippling (girl with green shirt)

We all need a little tranquility

 Ohmigoodness... I've been absent for quite awhile.  I apologize but there has been a LOT going on in my life, least of which was my still healing right wrist/hand.


We all need a little kindness right now and maybe even to de-stress.  What better way then to pick up your colouring tools of choice and colour a little Meditate girl?!


Here is Meditate from Twistoon coloured up with my beloved Copic Markers.

A Little Halloween Birthday Fun

 I had a lot of fun playing with my Silly Monsters stamp set this week from Your Next Stamp.  I also used the Dot-tastic Circle from Your Next Stamp... love their products!!!


I've been suffering a creative dry spell, for almost 2 months, not because I lost my mojo but because I broke my right wrist (yes, I'm right handed).  I'm now "bionic" (titanium plate and screws put me back together) and really needed to see if I could still colour after the cast removal.  I did wait a few days before I picked up my markers lol.  I will admit, it was not an easy or pain-free task, especially because I was not using my beloved Copics and the markers I chose have a very tight fit.  But I persevered and was left feeling quite satisfied with my accomplishment.  I do so love this stamp set and it was just what the doctor ordered to make me feel I'm on the mend.


So today, I created a card with one of the monsters I coloured up.  I thought he'd make a cute Birthday card with a Halloween theme.  I coloured up another that I'm going to make into another card and then hope to offer it as a class at my local scrapbooking store, Crop A While.

 

So, without further adieu, here is my card (don't judge me on the photography/editing... this girl can only do so much right now and is trying hard to realize her limitations 😉).

I've got it bad

I am so in love with the Twistoon Gnomes.  I must be... I'm a colourist and have avoided the gnome craze 'til now and I just can't get enough of these ones.  I'm in "hook, line and sinker".


So here is the latest on my table.  Say hello to Gnome Tower.  This would be fabulous on a slimline card so I've sized it accordingly (it's printed at approx. 7-1/2" tall and 2-1/2" wide).


Coloured with my Copic Markers:

I didn't "ground" the image as I'm not sure yet whether I will fussy cut it for a card or just cut a large rectangle.
