Woohoo! A new class for me!!

   I totally enjoy taking classes online and it's been a great way for me to learn more things and not have to worry about a dealing with a Fibro flare or miss out because it's too far from home.   Some of the best classes I have taken have been online and I love the flexibility they offer.   That is why I am very excited to now be signed up for a brand new Summer Card Camp being co-hosted by Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner, two of my favorite designers/card-makers.

   If you are like me and LOVE stamping as much as coloring with your Copics, then I think you would also love to be part of this class which starts on June 27th!   Here is a link to Jennifer's Blog with has more details for anyone who wants to join in.


    I was lucky enough to have taken two fabulous Workshops with Jennifer in person, when she visited my LSS in April and I had a blast and learned so much from her.  I also met my friend Kerry from Baby Bud and I'm hopeful she'll join me for this too!    I registered yesterday and have already been over to the exclusive blog and I am very much looking forward to the start.  I've also taken many of Kristina's 'A Year in Cards' workshops over at Two Peas and thing together they will be awesome.

   If you are interested - you can find info on Jennifer's Blog or also on Kristina's and if you do decide to join, please let me know.

   As I said, some of my favorite classes have been online and I've taken six different classes to date, over at Color Me Creative Classroom, which is Suzanne Dean's fabulous online classroom.  If you like Copics, Coloring or want to learn how to use your Cricut, I highly recommend you hop on over and sign up!   I have taken all four levels of the Copic Classes, One of Marti's Cricut Classes and I'm currently enrolled in Angie's Distress Ink Coloring class and every one has been SUPER!   There are always news classes opening up and those currently include:  Marti's Prisma Pencils Coloring Classes (I and II) as well as a brand new Magnolia Coloring class -- Something for ALL!!



    If you want more information on any of the classes, HOP on over to the Main Site, which is OPEN to all.  You can also join the Bi-Weekly Copic Coloring Challenge Group and that to is open to ALL and free!  To play along or join the Challenge Group - go HERE!!


   And speaking of Copics and Coloring I have one new card to share and this one was created for a Color Combo Challenge earlier this week, but I forget to post it!   Silly me!   It features another wonderful tulip image from 'Wax Fruit Company' and was really fun to make!!


  I'm off now to work on my card for the new POM Challenge over at 'The Outlawz'.  Today's challenge is also part of the big PARTY Week and is to create another Summer-Themed card using any Color Medium other than Copics, which always makes it a harder challenge for me!   Most of the gals are fabulous with Prisma color pencils...but me, sadly I'm not!   I am a Copic Girl for sure and totally LOVE those wonderful markers!    Off to create......

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".
