A FUN...and busy week!!

....The weather here has been awesome......like Spring with temps up in the 60's, lots of sunshine and it feel goods.  I can see that some of the flowers...are start to bud up through the ground and that's so fun.  I can't wait for everything to start blooming again and see leaves back on the trees!!
    I have had a busy week, but have had a ton of fun too.  I started my wonderful NEW Copic Coloring Classes at Suzanne Dean's new "Color Me Classroom", and I totally love it.  I originally signed up for Level II, and I was so impressed with all the videos, detail and resources, that I also enrolled in Level I, so that I do not miss a thing.   And everything is brand new and totally different than any of her other tutorials.   These classes are amazing and I'm both thrilled and honored to be learning from one of my FAVORITE Designers.  And even though these are NOT my first Copic Classes, I have already learned some awesome new tips and hints and have already uploaded a few projects for Suzanne's review!
    And on a HAPPY and exciting note, I actually WON another awesome prize.   It was the door prize in the "Live Chat" that Suzanne hosted during Grand Opening of her Classrooms on Monday.  I won a $30 Gift certificate to Magnolia-Licious, a store I already love and shop at.  My thanks to Suzanne for the prize and also to Diana, "the owner of Magnolia-Licious"  for giving me the prize!  Yippee!  If you have never shopped at this store, then hop on over now.  It's wonderful and a great place for all your Magnolia Images and Supplies. 
    If you LOVE coloring with Copics as much as I do, and you really want to continue to enhance your coloring skills, then I highly recommend you think about these classes.  Here is a link to the main site, where you can find out more about the classes. CLICK HERE!!

   On top of that class and practice, I am working on some cards for challenges, but have not had a lot of time this week for that.  These cards below were cards that I created for challenges at "Simply Scrapping Crafts", my favorite on-line Challenge Group.  
--------------
  This first card was for the "Copic Challenge" and its' a card using a "Bildy" Stamp, known as "Tosse with Flower" -


   And this next card is also another challenge card and is one is for the "Color Combo" Challenge also at hosted at "Simply Scrapping Crafts". 

  
   And this last card I created for the "A Year in Cards" monthly class/challenge over at Two Peas!   This month's class was all different ways to use "Backgrounds" stamps to make cards.  It was fun and I always enjoy taking that monthly class. The homework for class was to create a card using a "Background Stamp" and this what what I came up with!  It actually turned out to be a pretty card...(much better in person) and I think it's one I create again, simply by changing colors!   FUN FUN!!


   Now I am off to practice coloring and also to work on my homework assignment for my Design Studio class.   Sadly, that class has covered all the things I already had figured out on my own, so that's been a disappointment.  I wish now that I had not taken it and I almost didn't!   I guess the good thing is that is does having me use my Design Studio more, but I am still bummed that it's not what I had hoped.  My second Cricut class that has pretty much been a total bust!  :(

   Have a Happy Thursday and as always.....Happy Crafting!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
