For the New Year, Sami (my soon to be 12 year old amazing daughter!) and I made a list of current challenges and logged them into a fun 'idea log' book I have. I printed out the sketches, wrote deadlines and any challenge 'specs' and possible winnings for each one.

I did this more for Sami than for me:) She is always asking 'are there any new contests?'. This way she can go to the book and find them and do them if she so wishes!


Sami got right on the Get Sketchy Challenge! Man that girl is fast!

For the challenge deets, check it out here: Get Sketchy#19 Challenge.


Thanks for looking and I'll share any comments with our young Artist!

Playing With Copics - With Bellas for CFH

See My New Pens? These are 'The Bomb' for Coloring Images

These babies arrived in yesterday's/last night's mail.. After getting 'our' homework and chores done, Sami & I played while dinner was cooking. We got in a good hour! Let me tell you, Sami was just as excited as I was. She and I both got to play with Sandy's Copic pens and WE were hooked! What you see in this photo are some sparkley Spica pens, and a custom set of various Copic Sketch markers. After our playtime Sami let me know which colors we are lacking.. I am keeping a list... She's my color consultant, and at times, image consultant!

First Sample: Bella Girls!

So, last night I colored a couple images. I'm not the world's best coloring champ, but I will share my favorite Kindergarten technique.. remember when we were little color crayon artists and we outlined our coloring book pictures with our crayons - with a heavy hand, and then filled in the colors with a lighter touch? This technique still works - just a bit tweaked.. as in outline the image with one color, fill with another.. I'm not a big blender chick yet, but will work toward that as I get more into the whole image coloring thang... (An image being the picture you get when you stamp onto paper).
I used my new Copics to color in the Bella image. This card will go with my Cards for Heros for the teenage girl's set..
Supply Credits: The patterned paper & card stock are from SU; ribbon is Maya Road; bling is Hero Arts; flower chipboard from Cherry Art; and Girlfriends stamp from Michaels.

Sample #2: PJ Bella
Another sample using my new copics!

Supply Credits: Friend stamp from Michaels; all other products mentioned above.

So, that was my big share for today! It's my lunch hour, and I better get back to 'real work', as in the following:

1. Finish loading the recycling into the back of my car (I spent an hour in the garage breaking down boxes) - note to self: Don't work in the garage when you have on your favorite clean jeans! Dang.
   
2. Drive to town to do the recycling - which includes tons of scrappy magazines! Sniff.
   
3. Grocery shop - 2 stores - the 'regular' store and the food co-op
   
4. Send off the cut & wrap instructions for 15 lambs
5. Wash my filthy car (it's 31 degrees right now, car wash will be enclosed so no icicles form)
   
6. Fill a meat order or 2... one for a store, the other a restaurant - which includes an order for 12 boneless leg of lamb roasts for a Titanic reenactment Dinner! Too darn cool. The dinner that is...
   

Have a great day! Fa la la la la
