Three Fishing Mice

I'm back to taking classes from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  This class is June 2019 and the digi stamp is from Di's Digi Stamps named "3 Fishing Mice".  I have to really like an image to feel like I want to color it and I fell in love with these adorable mice.  The classes cover so many different techniques, that like the image or not, it's the techniques that are important that you learn from each class.  This image is colored with Copics and made into a card.

I'm entering the following challenges:

• Sweet Stampers Challenge - Outdoor Fun - Ends September 8th
• My Time to Craft - Clean and Simple - Ends September 2nd
• The Male Room - Birthday - Ends September 1st
• Stamping Sensations - Make It Masculine - Ends September 1st

Frolicking Frosty

Frolicking Frosty is skating thru the snow and ice to meet his sweetie. Notice that big grin on his face. I just love this image that is from Heartfelt Creations as is the sentiment and background stamps with matching dies from the Frolicking Frosty Collection.  You can barely see the glittery snow on Frosty, the snowflakes and the snow but it is showing up some.

Kissin' Xmas

     Hi Everyone,  Here I am with another Christmas Card for my list.   I thought this adorable image from LOTV was something I just had to color.   Things seem to be rolling along pretty good and I'm back to taking coloring lessons from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  It's like starting all over when you haven't colored for so long.  I have all my lessons from the past several years and they are so helpful.      I have a ways to go though before I'm back to where I was 3 years ago but I'm enjoying the challenge.
    I'm entering the following challenges:

• Simon Says Challenge Blog - Use Your Favorite Tool
• Creative Knockouts - Sparkle & Shine
• Crimbo Crackers - Anything Goes
• All Fun Challenges - Everything Goes 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.

Our challenge starts on the first Friday of the month, August 7, and ends Thursday, September 3, 2020, at 1:00 pm EST.  Hope to see your lovely creations in our gallery. Remember, only 3 entries per person.

I used Copics to color the image, added Stickles, Liquid Pearls, and Liquid Gold for the gems and coins.  Colored the background with Distress Inks and added sand to the bottom of the sea.  The paper is from my stash and I have no idea where it came from. The flowers on the card are made by me and are also from my stash.

Going Golfing

Since I come from a family of avid golfers I thought this would be appropriate for a birthday card for my son-in-law as he will probably spend the day golfing with his boys.

If not that day, then on the weekend.  

I just love this image but I can't remember where I got him.  He is LOTV and thanks to those of you that let me know.  If anyone knows where this little guy came from please let me know so I can give due credit,  He is colored with Copics and the going golfing is cut out on my friends Cricuit.  I forgot how to use my Silhouette so she was kind enough to help me out.

Boy, I'm never taking this long of break again! lol

I used a doily from one of my dies and the sentiment stamp from my stash.

Playing in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp Blog, Happy Birthday (Ends 8/8)
• TGIF Challenges, Inspiration Sketch (Ends 8/7)yythi
• Allsorts Challenge, Make It Masculine (Ends 8/14)
