I finished up the last day at my day job over at the Family Fare. Its a lil bittersweet as I've been there for 8 years and alot of the people who work there are like fam to me. Its not like I won't ever see them again but I enjoyed seeing them on a almost daily basis so that's sad :( but I also didn't like the 35 minute drive one way in the winter not to mention alot of other headaches so its a...

I've got my first sample of my first simple card design :) I started off with a more elegant idea, even got to a sample that I colored...But while I LOVE poppies (my fav flower probably) it just didn't feel like me. So here is the first that I am happy with and will probably end up making a set or two...I might pale up the blue but like I said, sample :) this is my lil work piccy montage.....

As you all know, like alot of you out there, I don't have all 334 colors of copics and I'm sure there are many many more combos than the ones I'm going to showcase today. You can see the colors I have to work with by...

Happy Monday all! I don't know about you, but coming off the weekend to Monday where I am off my day job (last week!) I am always looking for something to get my creative juices flowing and on Friday I was playing around with the idea of little things I could sell at my crafty booth. The idea of felt flowers popped in my head and I had bought the perfect Sizzix die for it and while it turned out...

I was looking for inspiration for a quick AM project before getting down to biz when I saw Color Me Copics technique challenge and I thought it was perfect for Dancing Mae that I had printed out the night before :)I love how the sequins came out and the bit of bling. I never really think of adding eyeshadow to our girls but they seem to call for it when you think about it :) I used to color.....

Michigan is a crazy place for weather and this year we thought Mother Nature was...
