Pretty Pastels...

What a lazy, relaxin', chillaxin' Saturday we are having today! DH is home and I also have Luke and Ember (my niece and nephew) here to hang with the kids and keep them occupied...which means - more time for ME in my craft room YAY! :o) The temperature is still cold here in central Alberta (7C) and looks like more rain could fall at any given moment....

Flutter by Wednesday and MFT....

Good morning! Yep, it's morning...1:20 a.m. to be exact and Leanne and I are still crafting :o) DH is out with the buds tonight, kids are both having sleepovers at friends houses and we are ALONE...crafting....in my craft room! Yayyyyyy!!

We decided to go through my stamp stash and find ones that we can color. So, I knew right away what I wanted to color...one of my My Favorite Things Pure Innocence stamps. I picked Blooming Good Day and I used the Flutter by Wednesday sketch from Mercy Kerin:

Stamps: Blooming Good Day (MFT); Ink: Basic Black, Versafine Black; Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, My Mind's Eye; Accessories: markers, butterfly punch, pearls, dimensionals, clear embossing powder

Thanks for stopping in - tomorrow is our stamp club so I might be back tomorrow evening, we'll see. Take care and happy inking!!!

I got my Stamp Camp class all prepared and ready to go! Yipeeee! I'm so excited that I'm getting things organized and ready - I got a phone call today and a lady would like to have a workshop on April 27 or 28, so now I have MORE prep to do :) But...at least I have my other 3 classes almost all done! Yay! So....Kim and I decided to make cards together tonight - and take a break from cutting cardstock for classes...fun! She wanted to make Tamie's daughter, Kaitlyn, a birthday card and I wanted to get the Diva Coffee Challenge done and out of my mind. I have had this image stamped and colored ALL DAY and I kept looking at her and wanting to make a card, but NO..work first! HEE HEE...My card also qualifies for the new challenge over at Flutterby Wednesdays. It's an "OPEN" challenge so it's whatever goes....
