TGIF!!!!

.....and thankfully the SUN is finally back out too!   It's so nice to see some sunshine and it certainly can help to lift your spirits - now if we would have some nice warm weather....it would really feel like SPRING!!

  Today, I have two new cards to share and the first was created for a new challenge over at StampNation and based on a sketch that was created by Maureen Merritt.  I have included a copy here and hope you'll enjoy using it as inspiration for some of your creations.

 
  My second card is a fun little card and this one was created for a Copic Coloring challenge that is a new challenge being hosted by one of my online craft friends, Lisa Keifer.   Lisa invited me to join her brand new Copic Coloring challenge over at SSC, where she is the new Copic Challenge Director.  Congratulations to Lisa on your new role.  I hope you'll be very happy and I know you'll enjoy coloring and creating with your Copics.   Lisa's challenge this week to use color 'Jeans', using you choice of Blue Shades.  Another twist is to use your colorless blender to add some dimension and texture to your colored 'jeans'.

  This is my card which I will be posting for Lisa's Challenge HERE!   My image is a cute little Cowboy digi from Bugaboo Stamps and for his 'Jeans' I used these Blue Copic Colors B 91, 93, 95, 97!  It was a fun little card to create and you are all invited to join in!

     I am off now to finish up a very special card, which will be a birthday card for my son, (Alex) who will be turning 19 tomorrow!   Yikes!   Where does the time go?  I can hardly believe that my 'baby' is going to be 19 and that Brian is now 24.   My two greatest joys in life are both now grown adults...and two of the best guys ever -- I feel so lucky and blessed to have two awesome sons !  Love you both soooo much!!


    Have a great day and Happy Crafting!!!
