Miss You

Hi guys!
My visits here seem to be few and far in between :( That's life for ya! I'm still here though, alive and kicking, and I'm still around, I've just my busy bee self!  I really recommend you follow me on all my social media, so you can more accurately see what I'm up to, and what's new. My Instagram, Facebook and Youtube Channel are great places for updates----you can find a link to all those places on the top right of this page. Follow me and don't miss a thing!
Now talking about missing, I have this I miss you simple card I created a long time ago, which I never got a chance ti share. It's sad, but I haven't used my Copic marked in over a year now, and I'm wondering if I've forgotten how to color! The only way to find out will be to give an image a try, but overtime I've sit down to start one, something comes up and I can't even start it!!!

I'm thinking once my daughter starts school again when summer ends, I'l have a little bit less interruptions, and a little bit more time to dedicate to the things I love. I'm really hoping for that, anyways!
On this card I used Graphic 45's Songbird collection and the Mia In Kimono Stamp from Wild Rose Studio.  I love the simplicity and how it gets right to the point as soon as you see it. Like I always say, simple is my preferred style. Hope you like it!

Repurpose Challenge: July 2014

Hello everyone!
So super excited to share with you today my repurposed project made for the I Am Roses July 2014 Challenge. The challenge for this month is to recycle or repurpose something, and I had this strange plastic sleeve from a cosmetic product I purchased, that was calling my name. I could not bring myself to throw it out, as I thought it as perfectly good acrylic that could not go to waste. It really looked like nothing much, but I just couldn't part with it, so......I repurposed it, and made a little treat holder with it!

I used Big Pressie Tia from Some Odd girl, colored her up with my Copics, used some My Creative Time Dies, I Am Roses flowers,  as well as some ribbon for the transformation. You could say that I also repurposed the turquoise ribbon too. Originally they were strips from an opened package I  received, which I ended up saving, because the color was so pretty. It came to good use!

You can easily add anything you want in this little treat box, candy, jewelry, a gift card....the possibilities are endless here. It was simple to create, and fun, this particular one, perfect for a birthday celebration.

I hope you are inspired this month to repurpose something, and submit it into the I Am Roses Challenge. There's a nice prize for the winner. Make sure you follow the rules to be eligible to win, and check below for the list of products I used on this project. Thanks for stopping by!

My Creative Time Stitched Party Die

I'm rusty....You are blessed

Hello everyone!
Today I'm excited to share with you a Copic colored card and tutorial using I Am Roses Flowers. It has been quite a while since I've used my Copic markers. Ever since I started the process of selling our house and then the move, I have not touched them pretty much. Sad story, but true! Over six months (8months to be exact really) has been quite a long time, and I was craving to color.
As many of you know, I have been working, slowly but surely on my new studio/office, and I've finally managed to get my Copics organized in a place that is convenient for me, so I decided to finally use them, and color Some Odd Girl's "Thank You Mae" stamp. As time has gone by, I've come to love more and more her images, and have been itching to color a few. I'm a little rusty on my coloring, but I had fun!

I used several I Am Roses flowers, and Simon Says Stamps Dies (which are new to my collection, and I love them!), as well as one of Simon Says Stamps' stamp set. Please see the list and links of the products that I used at the end of this post (Copic color combos will also be listed). I've also made a start to finish video tutorial which pretty much gives all detail on the process of making this card, and what I used, and you can watch that by clicking HERE.

Without further a due, this is the card I created:
Here are all the things I used:

• Paper collection---- Echo Park's 'Here and Now"
• I Am Roses Flowers---- Mixed Soft Tone Daisy: D1-426 and Pale Pink Puffy Semi Rose Buds T25-2
• Some Odd Girl Stamp----"Thank you Mae"
• Simon Says Stamp ----"You" steel die, "Pointed Feathers" steel die, "You" 3x4 Clear Stamp Set
• Copic Combos----Skin: E000, E04, E11, E21 Cheeks: R20 Hair and Eyes: E31, E35, E37 Dress: Y15, Y18, Y35, Y26 and BG53, BG57, BG75
