I'm a Winner and Easy Peasy Coloring

Thanks to Lisa for permission to use her beautiful art piece image above
 
As I said in an earlier post, I visited a ton of blogs via the Whimsical Bohemian's One Heart One World event and I entered many of the giveaways.  I was extremely lucky in winning beautiful prizes from 3 separate blogs:
   I will post photos of the treasures when I get them, in the meantime, visit these wonderful blogs.  Even though the giveaways are now done, you can still visit the blogs.  I've become a follower to many of the blogs in the OWOH event, and if you also are looking to visit the world, expand your horizons, learn and get inspiration, visit OWOH for an amazing trip around the blog world.  I love to see the creations from artist bloggers outside the US, so Lisa's Whimsical Bohemian's OWOH Blog is a great way to find international artists.  She even has them organized now in alpha order and lists the country they are from.
  And along the international line................................................

Just found an awesome video with a terrific way to color your stamped images very easily.  I'm all for no fuss creating, so this impressed me.  The author, Blanche, who is owner of a craft company that recently appeared with Tim Holtz on QVC Germany, is from Germany so for those of us that don't understand German, can't understand what she "tells", but can sure understand what she "shows".  So, enjoy!

Resources for Spring

As many of you, I'm so ready for Spring! And for me, Spring means Easter. So, I'm loving all the references and images out in blogland on spring and easter. I'm participating in a couple of swaps one is for an Easter egg garland. I will show you what I make once I'm done. In the meantime, I have gathered some good resources for freebies for artists below.
Free templates from Mirkwood Designs. A great selection of templates.

Scrap paper ring book is a cool idea to use small pieces of leftover cardstock. Erin Zam explains how to make a stylish book with many uses.Videos from the great Tim Holtz. He recently added a number of his videos for all of us to enjoy and learn from.

Free Easter images from the great Stampington Co.
