Smile..

Hello Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,

I have another card to share with you today. I designed this last night using my Gansai Tambi watercolor palette. I am still trying to a get a feel for these wonderfully pigmented watercolors, but I sense there is much more to be learned and explored.

Deconstructed Sketch No. 204 and Always Playing With Paper Challenges

Happy Saturday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,

Today's card is inspired by Jen Shults' Deconstructed Sketch No. 204. I just had to play along this week as we say good-bye to the Deconstructed Sketch. I have enjoyed receiving Jen's weekly sketch inspiration in my email inbox for the past year and a half. Jen's sketches are a wonderful way to get excited about trying a new card design and playing with paper. I want to thank Jen for all she has done. It is because of Jen, I was introduced to Taylored Expressions and many other wonderful designers. Thank you for inspiring me, Jen, and helping me to become a better card designer. I will miss your weekly sketches. Best of luck on your new crafting journey =)

Happy Birthday...I Am Seeing Spots (SSS Wednesday Challenge and 30 Day Color Challenge)

Happy Friday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,

I hope you are having fun in your craft rooms. I have been faithfully following Kathy Rascoosin, at The Daily Marker, for the 30 Day Color Challenge. The Color Challenge has definitely encouraged me to play with my Copics and new set of Gansai Tambi watercolors. I am enjoying coloring, most of the time. Other times, I feel a little stressed as I am broadening my horizons.

On days eight and 18, Kathy did several cards featuring geometric designs and it inspired me to play with a new stamp that I wanted, but shelved =( So sad. Here is my finished card.

The Daily Marker: 30 Day Coloring Challenge...Copics

Hello,

Well I made it. Barely. However, I was determined because Kathy at The Daily Marker is inspiring me and all her fans to break out their markers, watercolors, crayons, etcetera and color their world. It doesn't have to be a completed project, but it does require one to take a moment and color. It's that simple. So, I did. I was inspired to work on a card for my dear friend's son, Zack. He really is a super star and I wanted him to know it!
