Lilies

 Hallo,
    Well I have spent the major part of the day in the craft room - finally - I have been playing catch up since Monday from graduation week. We had lots of family in town and had a great time but almost everything else got put on hold - so in the last 3 days - there was lots of laundry, groceries to get, a doctors appointment, a car loan to fill out paperwork for, a car to but for my DS to take to college this fall with him, among the many errands - so I didn't get too much craft room time, although spent a couple of those evenings coloring while watching the TV.....
  Today I am using a Sweet Pea digi image - also available as a rubber stamp - by Ching Chou Kuik called 'Dark Lilies'
  I colored her with prismacolor pencils - was trying to make her hair look wet but didn't turn out like I had thought....
  Used lots of pink on this one - not my usual color :)
Even made her eyes that color just for fun.
  Sprayed the paper flowers with pinkish glimmer mist and used a pretty pink and black flowered ribbon and some gold pearl drops with a Viva Décor pen.
   All for today - am off to try out the water in our pool, should be nice and warm :)
      Take Care

Another locker hook project

 Hallo,
    Well I have survived Graduation week....my poor Mom's flight was cancelled this am and they rescheduled her to get in at home at 11 pm..... she lives another hour from the airport so that was not a good thing....managed to get it changed so she gets in at 930 which is a bit better.....her flight got messed up on the way down here too....
  So today was a bit of cleaning up and running errands that didn't get done last week - tomorrow I will have a few more errands but should get some craft room time too and then the rest of the week should be all craft room :)!!!!
  Even though I didn't get  much done in the craft room this last week but did get a bit done on the new rug I started a couple weeks ago. This will be for my son to take to college with him.
He is also going to be going to University of Nebraska, Lincoln and will be in ROTC and a Biology major - with emphasis on Human biology and anatomy and physiology.....
The colors are perfect for my son and will be kinda funky and geometric.....
   Have a great day!!!!

Woodland Fairy - Sweet Pea Stampers challenge

 Hallo,
    Its a new challenge Friday over at Sweet Pea Stampers - www.thesweetpeastampers.blogspot.co.uk/ and we are using the above photo for inspiration  - which I found a bit difficult  :)
  I ended up thinking what the woods would be like as I walked down the path in the photo and then into the woods. Along the way were toadstools and birds and fairies :)
  So naturally I used 'Toadstool Fascination " by Ching Chou Kuik from Sweet Pea Stamps  - www.sweetpeastamps.com.
  I colored her with prismacolor pencils and used a Spellbinders die to cut her out. Edged the main image with a gold metallic pen and then added a scrap of old lace, some paper flowers that I spritzed with a blue glimmer mist and a plain one and then lastly added some teal blue pearls with a viva décor pen.
   I really like this image - such a sweet face and the mushrooms too - when I was living in Alaska I was amazed at how many different types of mushrooms there were - still have a lot of the photos I took :)

   Well its graduation week here - my son graduated from HS yesterday and we have lots of family in town to celebrate and hang out!!! It has been a lot of fun so far and the weekend yet to come :)
   Take Care and Have a great weekend too!!!

Sweet Posey

Hallo,
  Well I managed to get my house cleaned yesterday with some minimal assistance from the teens....and a small bit of yard work....and then after lunch another couple errands run...so that makes for less errands for me to accomplish today :)
  Hopefully the rain will hold off a bit here and I can do a bit of yard work after Miss Princess Puppy takes me for a long walk :)
  Todays project is using one of my newest images from Sweet Pea Stamps called 'Posey' and I colored her with my copics. I love how she turned out too!!! I haven't used my copics for a couple months now just because they aren't quite as portable as my pencils but I really love them.
   I colored her in typical posey flower colors - actually I colored 2 of her and will show you the other one tomorrow. You know me and purples anyway  so it was a fun image to color!!!
  I blinged her up a bit with some paper flowers that I colored to match with glimmer mist in teals and purple, added some gold sticker pearls, ribbons and teal pearl drops with a viva décor pen.
   Well better get a move on here - DH's Mom arrives tonight and the rest of the crew tomorrow in several batches...
   Have a great week!!!

Tropical Beauty

Hallo,
   I am having a hard time getting in gear this am - today is my day to clean house before all the family starts arriving for Graduation - and I hate house cleaning :).....maybe if I get done in time I can reward myself with some time in the craft room!!!
  So therefore a quick post and the spoiled puppy will take me for a walk and then I clean.....
  The stamp/digi image I used today is called 'Night Dreamer' by Ching Chou Kuik from Sweet Pea Stamps - www.sweetpeastamps.com
  I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut the image out with a Spellbinders die. I edged the main image with gold metallic pen.
  The orange panel is edged with teal ink and I used a teal colored glimmer mist spray to color the flowers(they were white). A gold corner sticker and some light green ribbon finish her off.
  All for today
    Take Care

Fan Princess

Hallo,
   Cloudy and cool this am here in NW Florida - hoping the rain holds off as the DH is going on a longish ride on the Harley today - I thought about going with him but DS has a soccer game today too and I haven't managed to make one in awhile, mostly because of work but last weekend the traffic to get to the soccer field was horrible (Memorial Day weekend and the beach road....)
This is the last soccer game for the season - except for a tournament which if its next weekend will be good but the next weekend I work....
   Todays card is a stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps by Ching Chou Kuik called 'Pink Peony'
   I colored her with prismacolor pencils and cut her out with a Spellbinders die...added ribbons, purple flowers (some of them look pink, couldn't get them to look purple ....but they are a pinkish purple...) and some pearl drops with a viva décor pen.
 All for today - going to do some crafty stuff this am (although with it being nice and cool out I 'should' do some yard work....)
   Take Care
