Yep... Another Card!

Okay, so I'm slowly getting back into the swing of Design Team projects, again but my MOJO just isn't quite there yet!  Mojo: Returning Soon....

It's Challenge time again at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog!  

Our sponsor this week is:

I love Bugaboo images!! The lines are so crisp and sharp!  Makes for easy peasy coloring!!  The theme was PINK, ORANGE and YELLOW.  I wanted something bright and this is what I came up with!!  I used the image, Nurse Margaret - Nice Nurse.

As you can see I left the card blank on the outside.  The image comes with a sentiment, however.... I forgot to print it.  (just being honest)  When I glued everything down, I kept saying something is missing.  I knew I was going for CAS (Clean and Simple), but good grief!!  And you want to know another secret???  I forgot to color the lips!!  Thank goodness for Microsoft Digital Image Suite (photo editing software)  That's what I use when my pictures look nice and have the "fancy" edge and my blog name.

Happy Creating!

I've missed this...

Ahhh... to hold a Copic in my hand and just color!  I've missed this.  The smell of adhesive (LOL) and the miscellaneous sparkle when you touch wet Stickles, then touch something else.  I've missed this.  Most of all I've missed that sense of peace and calm that crafting brings to my life.

Having said that... It's Challenge time at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog!!  The theme this week is Bunnies! Thanks to QKR Stampede for sponsoring us!!

Here's my creation for this week!

Copics Used:
W5, W3, W1, R00, Y13, Y08, Y06, BV34

Decided to keep it CAS.  I'm not really a big fan of yellow, but I wanted something that was bright and cheery considering the BLAH mood I've been in for so long.  My little Bunny is popped up but at this angle you can't see it.  (Laptops and digi cams never work when you need theme to, so thanks Kim!!)
My other Teamies did an awesome job with their cards, so check them out here.

Happy Crafting!

On this day....

Today I decided it's time to come back to the craft world!

We all go through things in life and sometimes it is best to just take a step back, which is what I did.  With the exception of 4 Christmas cards that I made the Wednesday before Christmas... I hadn't touched a craft supply.  No shopping! No Copics! Nothing.

So much has happened since my last post....

• Chandler played on 2 football teams and competed on the Central Junior High Cross Country Team!!  As always I am so very proud of him.  
• We've moved to a new place! (YAY!!!)  The new place is really nice, but it feels a little empty.
• On December 4, 2012, our beloved Babineaux passed away.  I'm not going to go into the details here, but it was so sad.  Now two months later I still miss her dearly.

• Last weekend I attended my first ever scrapbook retreat and had a blast!  I'll post pictures soon.  I actually completed 10 pages plus 2 that need finishing touches. GO Me!!
• Now, I'm only designing for Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.
• The Robert Jackson Design Team changed it's structure and no longer focuses on Robert's Art.  You can check out those talented ladies at 613 Avenue Create.
• It's a new year which brings forth new and exciting adventures.

Stay Tuned... there IS more to come!

There Comes A Time....

Over the past few months, I just haven't really felt like crafting.  Keeping up with my blog has been more of a chore than a joy which is something I've never wanted to happen.  I don't know what's causing me to feel this way... Maybe I've lost my mojo... OR Maybe I've reached my crafting peak... IDK...

Whatever it is, I've decided to take a break from the blogging world.  After typing that... I've run out of thoughts and  I kinda don't know what else to say.

Keep on visiting Brown Sugar Challenge Blog and Jackson's Digital Expressions!
I'm sure you'll see me there sometimes!

Take care and Happy Crafting.

It's ALL about Robert Jackson...

Happy Friday Everybody!!

This week's challenge over at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog is being sponsored by ROBERT JACKSON!!! And the theme is SUNDAY BEST, so we used images from his Come Sunday Collection.
Here's what I came up with:

Image: The Mothers

I remember being a little girl in church on Sundays and I always loved the BIG hats that so many of the ladies wore.  One day, I'm going to get one of those hats with the matching suite and shoes! Until then... I'll just ooohhh and ahhhh over the images Robert creates!

It felt really good to sit down and color.  I guess I forgotten how therapeutic coloring is.  Enjoy!

Happy Creating...
