What a great day!

Hello friends!! Here's a collage style card as an homage to TIM (Tim Holtz)! I may have to get grungier because it was a fun day yesterday! Sharon (Buffalo Stamps and Stuff) and her "people" organized a wonderful day complete with personal shoppers! Lisa, Tracy and I took the Generation Grunge class from the man himself! My card uses Artichoke card stock, then a layer of Riding Hood Red. The "white" panel is Vintage Cream and is embossed with one of the (many) Tim Holtz products I bought yesterday-an embossing folder! I found the dotted paper on my desk from another project and the card came together. It also uses Papertrey Ink's Vintage Picnic set.
I think one reason the card came together is that I looked at the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS this morning and saw a card I liked! I'm going to upload my card as a CASE over there.



And here's TIM! He was a great teacher, but we
WORKED! I thought I would never get all that sanding done!

Wish I knew what he was discussing here! He was very entertaining!

And, finally a couple of photos of my Generation Grunge Journal. We used the same elements, but the journals I was able to see were all very different!

That's it. I must try to get a Mo card done tonight and, of course, my Maggies have felt neglected since last weekend!

Thanks for coming by to look!

Hugs, Cheryl

Apple Bucket by Magnolia

Hi! No it's not the same card as the other day! I was kind of liking how THIS CARD
came out so I decided to pull out an old favorite and make a companion card! I used the same layout but flipped it and the colors are still from CC233 on SCS the other day. This Apple Bucket stamp looks like it will be available soon at Diana's store. You can go there now and see another card I made with it. In fact if you click on the key words at the bottom of the post you should see more (just pardon my photography, please).

I used exactly the same colors as I used on the strawberry card that I link at the beginning of my post!

I want to say a public Thank You to Judi of Angel's Landing and "Judi's Angels" design team for the last three months of inspiration! It has been great working with all of you!

LASTLY, I AM STILL LOOKING FOR HELEN FROM TOPEKA WHO HAS WON MY HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP PRIZE OF A MYSTERY CARD AND STAMP BY MAGNOLIA! PLEASE CONTACT ME, HELEN!

Thanks so very much for stopping by today! I really do appreciate your visits!

Copic Creations Challenge-Wood

Good Monday morning! They get better because after today I only have one more Monday to get through before its' Summer! Well, our challenge was to showcase how we color wood with our copics. I used Y21, E33, E35 and E37 for my wooden apple bucket. I also use the blender between colors. My white paper is Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. the markers blend very nicely on it. I also like Papertrey White Select Card stock.
After I colored my image and cut it with the circle nestability, I left it in the die and use a 1 inch stencil brush in Adirondack Butterscotch for the area around the bucket. I was too lazy to make a mask so I just tried to keep the color on the edge. I used C1 and C3 around the image itself when I colored it. It kinda looks green with the addition of the yellow.

My card base is Kraft, followed by So Saffron and the the gorgeous Graphic 45 paper. The small dot is from Bo Bunny-they make every color! All layers are sponged with Distress ink in Walnut Stain. The red strip is Papertrey ink Poppy Red ribbon.

The image? Well, if you haven't seen it before is from Magnolia!

I got mine from Magnolia-licious. I don't see the image there now, but please email Diana if you are interested in getting it! she'll help you out!
