Tilda with Hibiscus

  Hello All,
  This is going to be a really short post.  I just finished coloring Tilda and need to get ready for work.  I'm hoping to enter her into a few challenges.  I need to add a sentiment and then finish the inside.  I'm waiting on my daughter to return my die to be able to do this.  I am entering her in the TOMIC Challenge and Scrappy Frogs Challenge.
  Told ya it was going to be short!
Hugs,
Carolyn

Working on a card

  Don't have a picture to post....yet.  I'm working on one for the Little Darlings Summer Challenge.  Don't have a Little Darlings stamp yet, so will use one of my Magnolia's.  I just absolutely LOVE Tilda!
  My studio is a mess.  I really don't know how I find anything anymore.  I guess I need to find the time to knuckle down and start organizing.  It used to be pretty organized and neat and you could find what you needed because I put things back where they belonged.  The 5's that we learn at work works pretty darn good if you use it lol!   My studio is part quilting area and part scrapbooking area.  I think I just need a bigger room.  But the cleaning and organizing will have to wait till later today or another day.  I need to take the hubby to work and then I am off to Almost Heaven Scrapbooking store.
  I'm supposed to teach a Copic Card Class at work soon and I need to pick up some supplies.  I say "supposed" because I was asked to put in a request but it still needs to be voted on and approved by the TMAA committee.  It sounds crazy I know.  You're asked to teach but it still needs to be approve
  This card class will be my first one to teach a Copic Coloring class.  I've been coloring for two yrs and I've taken two certification classes with Copics and I've taken an advanced class with Suzanne J Dean from Color Me Copic Classroom.  She was a really fun gal.  She really knows her stuff and I loved taking the class from her. I've taught quilting classes at work and helped out a friend teach a scrapbook class, but I'm still nervous about teaching Copic Coloring.
  Well, that is about all for today I guess.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Hugs,
Carolyn

CMC and Magnolia Challenges

Hello all,
  Thought I'd give CMC and Magnolia challenge a try today.  I think she needs something more but I am stumped.  Maybe some of you would like to give me some feedback?
  I took a class with Suzanne J Dean on the 4th of June in Greensboro NC and I am currently taking her level 4 class in her Color Me Creative Classroom.  I've been coloring with Copics for almost two years and I am still learning!  I absolutely LOVE my Copic markers and I enjoy making cards.
  Today, I used my Close To My Heart "DayDream" paper to make this card, colored my Tilda with my copics ( of course ) and used some prima flowers and Prima "say it in pearls" to accent.
That is it for now,
Hugs,
Carolyn 

Magnolia Butterfly part 2

  OK, I wasn't happy with the first card so I added two Prima leaves and changed out the background for the butterfly.  I think I'm OK with this one lol.

Butterfly Card

  Hello all,
  This is my Butterfly Card.  The butterfly is Magnolia and the paper is Bo Bunny Barefoot Beach Bag, the flowers are Prima and the CS is Close To My Heart.  It looks like it needs some bling but what I have just wasn't cutting it so I left it off.  I had a lot of fun making her and shopped for her matching colors at Almost Heaven Scrapbooking store in Charleston WV.
  I am going to enter it into the Just Magnolia Challenge and The Color Me Copic Club.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Carolyn

Color Me Creative Class

   Hello friends!  This is a picture of Suzanne J. Dean from scrapbitz.blogspot.com.  She teaches Copic coloring classes thru her online classroom.  I was fortunate to be able to take a class from her on June 4th in Greensboro NC.  She is such a super sweet lady and funny to boot!
  I took my oldest daughter Danielle with me and we had a very nice visit.

  This is my first card that I designed on my own!  I will be sending it in to a challenge for Magnolia-Licious Stamps.  I don't expect to win of course, because I've seen some of the wonderful cards that have been made by some of the ladies but I'd still like to send in my card.  As time goes by, I hope to get better at this.  I've found that there are sooo many card designs out there and so many ideas!  A lot of these ladies are so talented and make such beautiful cards. 
  It took 3 trips to the Scrapbook Page before I found exactly what I was looking for in paper to show off my little Magnolia girl!  She is colored in Copic Markers and the paper I used is Close To My Heart, Echo Park "Spring Time" and "X Press It" Blending cardstock.
  Well, I guess that is it for now,

Hugs,

Carolyn

Busy

  Been really busy here lately.  Just came back from Greensboro NC.  Took a Color Me Creative Copic Class with Suzanne Dean.  Gosh, I had a very good time.  Took my daughter Danielle with me.
  I've been doing nothing but coloring here lately and I need to start putting cards together!  I also need to get an order in to CTMH.  I need to get back to a Consultant status.
Hugs,
Carolyn
