Kith and Kin early release stamp!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Well another week has flown by for me, and it is Easter next week! As a Christian this week is especially significant for me. This week is about Jesus dying on the cross for my sins, and rising again to be in heaven with our Father. Through my struggles it has always been my faith that has gotten me through. So this week is special!

This week has also given me a special opportunity to color a brand new image by Kith & Kin an awesome Australian company. So I want to thank Kyra and Scott for this wonderful opportunity!

So the image Easter Rose will be available as a pre-release in their store. I hope you like the project that I used to showcase her!


The copics I used are:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair: E21, E25, E27
Dress: R21, R22, R24, R29, R39
Basket: E31, E33, E35, E37

The paper I used is from Pebbles "Roses are Red" collection.
The basket is from the Silhouette Store #56784.

Well everyone, I hope you have a wonderful week!

We walk about 4 miles every night, so it is a really nice catch-up time for us.

Metal Theme for Just Inspirational Challenge

Hi Everyone!

It is overcast and rainy here in Houston. For me this reminds me of winters in Australia, so it doesn't really bother me.

Last week I took several days off from coloring. I had lost my coloring "mojo". I put out a search party on Kit and Clowder's Face Book Page to see if anyone could find it for me! So while I was waiting I attacked my sewing room and purged everything that I didn't need or want. So now my sewing room looks pristine, while my craft room is still a hot mess!

So yesterday I sat back down to color and got 2 cards made! I am so pleased that my "mojo" found it's way home!

So this week's challenge over at Just Inspirational Challenge has the theme "metal" Our wonderful sponsor's this week are:
who are offering 3 images to the winner!

who are offering a $10 certificate to the winner!

My image this week was from My Whimsical Little World and is called Happy Camper. The paper is by Doodlebug Designs and the little animals are buttons that I cut the shank off. I am really pleased at how this card turned out; I hope you like it as well!



Well head on over to Just Inspirational Challenge and check out all of the fun!

Thanks for stopping by.
