Challenge #291 - Outdoor Fun

We have a wonderful sponsor this week

and I would like to thank them for 

letting me color up and high light this fun image

Cocoa Loves Baseball

I just adore all of the Cocoa digis.

Prize: $10 Gift Certificate for Digis

 

Be sure to check out their very cute store.

It was so much fun to color up this image. What did I color with you ask?

I broke out my Copic markers.

The brads are from Stampin' Up as well as most of the paper

(Whisper White, So Saffron pattern paper, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso)

We are Memory Keepers for leaf paper.

The dies were given as a present for Christmas

 (When asked where they came from they

said they bought them off of Amazon).

For more inspiration from my fellow teammates please

hop on over to Creative Knockouts

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Have a blessed day and week ahead.

Thank you so much for visiting me today!

Sweet Cocoa

Happy Thursday!

Today, is another very smokey day

with all of the forest fires from B.C. and Alberta

it is effecting our air quality.

Our thoughts are with everyone that is dealing

with these horrible fires.

We are praying for gentle rain for our B.C friends.

Another week has flown by

and so that means

we have a brand new challenge up at Creative Knockouts Challenge

Challenge #259 - Sparkle N Shine

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Sweet N Sassy Stamps.

Thank you so much for letting us highlight your wonderful images.

The image I used is Sweet Cocoa

Prize: $10 gift certificate for digis

The card above was colored using my Copic Markers

The dies circle dies are from Gina Marie

The word jolly, dazzling diamonds and all the paper is from Stampin' Up.

It is hard to tell because my paper in the picture is dark

There is Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, sparkly paper (hee hee)

It was hard to get the right colors of the papers

not sure if that had to do with all of the glitter and sparkle.

It was super fun breaking out this sparkly paper

and the dazzling diamonds that was used on the snowflakes

on the cup. I do love me some hot chocolate.

I would love to enter my card into the following challenges:

Cocoa's Pumpkin - Thanks

Hello friends! I do hope you are well this morning, afternoon or evening where ever you are. Yesterday was a bit blah weather wise, cloudy, rainy and a little on the cool side. Here is hoping today brings us some sun. When big yellow is out my mood is always a little bit brighter.

Today, I am sharing my second DT card but this one is for Creative Knockouts Challenge #59 Animal Friends.  Our fabulous sponsor this week is Sweet'n Sassy Stamps. My cute little image is called Cocoa's Pumpkin. It was so much fun to color this image with my Copic markers.Thanks you very much for the image to color.  There is still so much I need to learn about coloring but personally, the kid comes out in me when I do.  The image is fussy cut out and is surrounded by the border with the Filigree Frame Textured Impressions folder, along with a heart border, with a touch of bling.

My copic colors are Y11, Y15, Y17, Y24, Y28, W1, 13, W5, YR16, YR18, E00, E000, E04, E11, E31, E33, E35, R20.

There is tons of inspiration over at Creative Knockouts and truly you won't be disappointed by my fellow DT's creations, they are simply rockin.  We would love to see what our Animal Friends Challenge inspires in you.

May something bring a smile to your face today and thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!

A Donut For Cocoa

Good Morning! It has been a busy week for me and I am sure for most of you too. School is almost done and of course with beautiful sunny weather you are probably outside walking, gardening, visiting with neighbors that you haven't seen most of the winter. Big yellow just seems to make a person smile. Yesterday it was so awesome to just hear all of the kids playing on our street.  It reminded me of when my kids used to play like that and just how quickly they are growing up.

I am so excited to share this cute image with you from our sponsors this week.  Our sponsor for Creative Knockouts is Sweet'n Sassy Stamps. Thank you for letting me use this adorable image. I love it!! We are on Challenge #41 and this week is a SKETCH CHALLENGE!
