To Copic or Pencil? That is the question!

Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. Tonight's post is all about coloring and is a result of many of you asking me about the class that I took after this post went live..

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us. I don't know why, but as soon as I saw this sketch I thought SHAKER. I wanted something bright and sunny. Orange is waaaay outside of my comfort zone as a color. I love orange things... like Baltimore Orioles and pumpkins and sunrises and sunsets but I don't own a single thing in that color. Until yesterday - more about that later :-) So... back to my card. As I am still making cards for... Read more →
