Crafty and Creative....

  Woohoo!  What a difference a day can make and today for me is much better than yesterday.  My pain levels are back down and I'm feeling more upbeat and creative too, despite the fact we have more snow coming!   This morning I actually went out, had my nails done, (nice and relaxing), mailed off my taxes and also did few errands.  It's nice to be caught up again and now I'm back in my craft room working on some new challenge cards.

   My first card today was inspired by the new challenge over at the Stars and Stamps Blog and the challenge this week is to create some fun 'Cards for Kids' and I knew right away that I wanted to join in.  I started by picking out one of my favorite little  Baby Bud's  (Jack),and and colored him with my Copics.  I also used the Sketch from this past Sunday, flipped it and created my card based on design.  If you like the design, you can find my inspirational sketch  HERE!   I think Jack would make any little boy smile and he will be saved to send off in my next batch of cards for OWH.

 
  I also want to remind you that there is still time to create a fun Friendship Card for our current challenge over at the Baby Bud Designs Blog - HERE!   We have a special surprise coming up on Friday, so please be sure to stop by then for all the details! 

  My second card today was created for today's new SKETCH Challenge over at 'The Outlawz', and I am inviting you ALL stop over and join in.   We have a brand new challenge every day of the week and they are open to ALL!!   For a list of all the challenges or to join this friendly fun new group - Please visit us HERE!!

   This is my card for today's challenge and this sweet little Fairy is from 'A Day for Daisies'.  I am also submitting my card to this week's Angels & Fairies Challenge over at Crafty Emma's -- which you can find here!

   I'm off now to work on a card for the new 'Copic Coloring Challenge' over at Suzanne Dean's - Color Me Creative Classroom.  This is a really fun bi-weekly challenge that is OPEN to all Copic lovers.  Our challenge this week is being sponsored by Marlena Peduzzi, a fabulous designer who is also a member of the group!   Marlena has inspired us with her wonderful Valentine Card below and challenged us all to create d below and challenged us all to create a project - colored with your favorites Copic shades of Pink and Red.
