Snow Couple

Hi all!

Brrr.....Mother Nature has chilled us here in the midwest!

Thought I'd share a cute image that I colored last night, using Copic Markers. This is a Whimsy Stamps Digital Image, called Snow Couple. Isn't it adorable?  Of course, with Valentine's Day coming up, it had to have a few hearts added in!

Hope you are staying in, where it's warm!

I'm going to enter this in the challenge at Cute Card Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

Our feet are happy...

Hi there!

It's a beautiful Friday in Missouri - hope it's pretty where you are!

So, the other night, a conversation with dear granddaughter went something like this: 

GD: "Grandma, where is PawPaw"? 

Me: "He is in the office working"

GD: "Why is he in the office working"?

Me: "Umm....because that's what he likes to do"?

(anyone who knows my man, knows that he's a workaholic)

GD: "Grandma, when PawPaw gets done working in the office, can you go in there and make me something"?

Me: "Sure! What would you like me to make you"?

GD: "A penguin card".

Me: "Okay, I will do that"!

Dear Hubby and I share a workplace. Admittedly, I'm forcing him into a tinier corner little by little. He keeps talking of retiring because of his age. I really think he's talking retirement because I'm sort of pushing him out of his office!

Anyway, I didn't have any 'summer' or 'girly' penguins, so I popped over to Whimsy Stamps to see if there were any in her digi collection.  Voila!!!  Look what I found!  This darling Penguin Prima Ballerina Set was waiting patiently to come live with me.  I ordered it and began coloring immediately!

What I started with was this image:

I drew in some wood flooring and some walls that looked as if they belonged in a ballet studio. I also changed the sentiment to say "our" feet rather than "my" feet, and here's what will be going in the mail to dear granddaughter!

I hope that she likes it. I used a shimmer pen on the 'wall panels' to look a bit mirrored, and of course, the tutu, bow and shoes are PINK!

Thanks for stopping by today - have a great weekend!

Ouch...

So, after a LONG time, I went back to Curve's yesterday afternoon. Ouch. And to show what a low level of intelligence I possess, I am probably going back this morning. Groan....moan......

Michelle, this one's for you!

This week is "Buttons" at A Little Whimsy, and yesterday was "Tuesday Triplets" day at 365 Cards. Whatever we did, was to be done in triplicate, except the sentiment. So, here are three panels of DCWV DP, topped off with PaperTrey Ink's cute little hot air balloons (BUTTONS!!!) (THREE!!!). Funny how things work out. I made this one in a hurry, and thought it would be one of my least faves ever, and it turned out pretty darned cute, I think! I kind of like it!

Recipe: DCWV Winter Mat Stack (last year's), Versafine Black Ink, Stampin' Up Bashful Blue Ink, PaperTrey Ink "Everyday Button Bits", buttons from my stash.

Next is a fall card that I made for the Stampin' Sister's in Christ Challenge (to use fall colors), and for the My Time to Craft Challenge (Autumn), and last but not least, for the 365 Cards challenge for Monday, which was to make a card that was inspired by the following colors.

It's hard to tell, but all of the colors are here! If not in the DP or CS, then I have colored them in...

Recipe: TAC "I'm nuts about you", Provo DP, Ribbon from Hobby Lobby, DCWV CS, Kooh-I-Noor Colored Pencils, Versafine Brown Ink.

Yesterday, as I posted the candy on my sidebar, I was reminded just how short life can be, how everything can change in a split second, and that I don't tell you all enough just how thankful I am to have met so many wonderful friends through this love of paper that we share. Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful and caring comments, and for sharing your talents with me!

Have a great day!
