You're My #1 Friend

Hello friends I'm back and I'm really trying to keep up with my posts for December!! It's so hard lol!

Today I have some sweet twist using So Proud which I would give myself for keeping up with Dec blog postings :P
This Ribbon will be in display at CHA hopefully. I really liked the outcome of the creation from the coloring to the lace. Everything was created to compliment each other. 

My image was stamped on Kraft paper colored with copics and finished with pencils. I didn't keep the recipe for this one because she was colored a while back and lost the recipe. The only thing was to finish the pony with majority pencils.

I cut out a circle using the Darling Square die set that is part of the collection. I stamped a sentiment from the Love Vintage Affections set and simply tucked it in between all the pretty flowers.

I have lots of work ahead of me and then we have Christmas EEEEK!

Thanksgiving was very lovely and food comma was an under statement.Yup went shopping in my heels and all lol! We didn't even Christmas shop we shopped for ourselves and called it a day. Actually .... hmmmm... I just realized I DIDN'T BUY NOTHING ....MAN! How the???? Wait!? WHAT?? I didn't buy nothing for myself lol!! My kids did ALL of them and so did my hub. He actually spoiled himself for once. Overall it was indeed a fun and beautiful Thanksgiving with my side of the family. We had so many laughs I tell ya!

ok peeps I'm out and about cuz this girly has LOTS to color.

Trick for a Treat From Little Darlings!

Hello guys!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!! 

Some quick waves to my new followers ALL RIGHT you found the light!!!!!! JUST KIDDING LOL! I'm a big goof ball and you'll get to see that more so often on my blog. When I type LOL! IT'S BECAUSE I'M REALLY LAUGHING NO LIE LOL!

Those who know me know that I have a problem with typing in CAPS :) YEAH THAT'S ME BEING loud as usual.

Anyways thanks for following and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.

I was out and late on posting a couple of DT posts on here. I had a weak to none signal from the heavy wind storm we had here but I'm back.

Ok let's start off with Little Darlings Inspiration time.

I brought back an oldie but a goodie. I couldn't resist not inking her up with the Halloween in hype here in the states.

I colored her on Kraft paper with my Spectrum Noir pens.

The Little Darling Inspiration team has the challenge of the month to create something with dies/dyes.

This cute witchy called Trick for Treat is not available on the store but keep checking back you never know when it will appear on stock. 

or better yet shoot Angie Hunt an email and she'll inform you the availability of this cutie :)

I created a treat bag mimicking a witches broom. I got the idea online and I saved the picture but I forgot to save the link. I mean it wasn't a tute anyways but just but eyeballing it you get the idea how it was done. 

Pretty easy....lunch bag, cut, stick pretzel and tie :) oh yeah make sure your goodies are inside :)

I hope you like my treat and I'll be back shortly to show another just because creation with another Oldie but goodie!

Spectrum Noir Markers DT!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!! What a wonderful opportunity I've been given so I'm taking it and I AM RUNNNNNING...(Like Forrest Gump lol!)

Thank you Jennie Black and DT MEMBERS for having me :)

Anywhoo I've been playing with my spectrum markers and GUYS THEY ARE SO JUICY AND LUSCIOUS! The color on my images are so vivid it's crazy.

I've been keeping this hush hush for a bit now and I'm happy that I finally get to scream it out :) 

I will be having more demos for you guys using these markers and what a better time to start now and since I'm the last on the Magnolia-licious Hop line up.

Then you could hang out with me for a bit whoohooo!!!

At the end of the post I will have links and recipe combo for today's showcase.

I created a Book Mark / Tag featuring my cute Tilda with gift for you. I needed to stay with the theme for the Magnolia-licious challenge which is "Back to School projects"

SO who wants to see how I colored her hair using my Spectrum pens on KRAFT PAPER :)

*******************************

Let the fun begin

Step #1 – Using TN9, randomly start by making some small curl strokes on the base of the head.  Do not go to far out because you want to leave the end of the lock lighter.

Step #2 – Using TN3, start by pulling out TN9 and again leave some hair left for a lighter tip on the curl.  Some strands are so short that dotting the color works also.

Step #3 – Using DR7, go back to the root of the head and create the same stroke on top of the original TN9.  Here, we are starting to preserve our shading.

Step #4 – Using CR1, color in all the untouched spots and ends of locks.  Everything should come together nicely.

Step #5 – Using IG6, dot some dark spots closely under the headband and under her hair line to enhance the deep shades.  The dimensional effect that it gives when you add the dark shading is so eye catching. 

and that's all is to it. I hope I have given you some boost to give it a try.

From now on I will try to do as many more demos as possible. If you want to see a specific technique using Spectrum markers please let me know. I'm game for any challenge.....uhhhhh Did I just say that lol!!!

I guess I did lol!!!! Let me know if you want to a color combo for example. A specific image from Magnolia, Little Darlings, Crafters Companion or Make It Crafty(my DT'S). Of course I would have to make sure I have them in my stash :)

Well here is another glance of the finish tag

here is how it comes apart with a corner book mark, baby tag and mother tag :)

Maybe slipping a thank you note to a teacher or some bribing money BAAAHAAA!!! JK!!!!

Speaking of School.

Guess who IS GOING TO SCHOOL OMG!!! I'm so happy but then the more I think of it. I start getting sad and with a big knot in my throat....SOPHIE.

My baby girl ... my last child :(  I'll be home alone now sigh..... she starts school on Tuesday but tomorrow is open house so she gets to hang out the classroom before the big day, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate even saying it OMG!!! but it makes my heart hurt a little.

I do not like to show my tears when I walk them on their first day of school specially on their pre-k debut. 

Last thing I want is for them to feel scare or mainly embarrass of the crying sobbing lady walking them to school everyday lol!

I think I'm gonna brake this time though .... THIS IS IT!!! No more for me.

OMG!!!! I'm tearing already.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME LOL! I am dead serious I'm weeping right now, lol! 

My Sophie is growing TOO FAST and btw we just celebrated her 4th bday on Aug 12. 

Oh we had so much fun but with this long posting as it is I owe you guys pixs. 

OK I'm signing off so make sure you join us for the Magnolia-licious challenge HERE and for more colouring tips using Spectrum Noir pens visit the blog HERE. 

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK!!! Oh and wish me luck on Tuesday. I'll be back sometime this week. I think something for the sweet tooth -_+ is in order.
