Whipping up something sweet

Tilda is whipping up something sweet today...kinda like me I'm working hard in my paper studio today.

  Yes, I'm having paper therapy today.  

I have a couple of deadlines for upcoming classes and publications.

  I'm hoping to show off some goodies this week.

So what are you whipping up today?

Brr...fall is in the air

Today is feeling chilly.  I woke up to 30 degrees and now it is in the 50's.  This is the coldest that is has been since I got here in August.  Just two weeks ago we were in the 80's. Funny thing about being in a desert area it really cools off at night and takes it until Noon before it warms up.

Thinking about Fall I decided to color Maggie in shades of orange with a touch of green and that describes what it look like here, orange and yellow trees, green grass and alot of sand!

I hope you have a wonderful Fall day!

Copics challenge at SCC

Friday warm wishes!

Oh it has been a week!  Whoever said a garage sale is a great thing forgot about how much work it is!

This past week I have been sorting, purging, donating and pricing.  Yesterday I had a friends & family craft sale and got to see lots of my CTMH friends.  I so miss teaching classes.  Lots of things went, but there is still lots to go thru today.  But I managed to sneak in a little coloring between people and purging.

Today is a challenge to PCP i {heart} copics group.  Here is the picture for inspiration...

to me this is a funny looking phone!!  Anyways I chose to do Tilda Butterfly.  Oh I so miss coloring my Magnolias. 

However I am so glad that Kate over at i {heart} papers hooked me up with my Copic markers.  She and the DT would love to have you join our weekly challenge, so hop on over to PCP and join in.

Have a great Friday.

I'm back to sorting, purging & pricing for a week-end of garage sales!

A sweet Cupcake...

Here is my 2nd attempt at coloring a Magnolia stamp, Cupcake Tilda Cowberry Muffin.  When I look at her I think of my daughter, Jessi, my sweet cupcake pusher!  She loves to bake and just yesterday we were talking about making cupcakes.  Jessi is the other reason why I colored Tilda in blue & lime green two of her favorite colors.

On this Tilda I tried a new technique, well new to me, the outside shading with W-1, E50 & E51.  I got the technique from the Magnolia Ink Magazine - Silent Night 2009.  Theie magazine is full of great ideas.

Here is a close up, but when I do that I see the mistakes.  I keep pushing myself to learn more and I'm enrolling in the Copic certification class and hope to learn more.  I'll be back with the Copic marker colors in a little bit.

Enjoy something sweet ad savor the moment!

Slice of cake...

Happy Friday!

I {heart} Copics group on PCP has a really fun challenge this week.  Are you up to it? 

I hope so.  This week the sponsor is Pixel Geek Designs, they have some really cool templates and bunch of other stuff.  So this week's challenge is to make a craft item and to color our embellishments with Copics.  So this means color your brads, buttons, flowers, ribbon or anything else you can think of.  I know that the i{hear} copics team will have loads more ideas and examples so go check them out too!

I chose to create and color my flowers with Copics.  I have included a slideshow to show how to do it yourself, but if you have questions let me know.  This week I was really excited to be using my new My Mind's Eye paper pack, Ooh La La, Thanks to Kate over at i {heart} paper.

However, I have to admit this it the first Magnolia stamp AND the first time ever coloring one.  I think I'm hooked!!  I hope to show you more of them when I get my next order...hehehe!

I hope you enjoyed my little creation.  Have a wonderful week-end! - Judy
