A quick post to show off my latest card. This one is another beautiful image from Michelle Perkett and fulfills the challenge over at her blog. The challenge was to use die cuts of which I have very few, but the little flower is two layered die cuts that have been colored to match. It also works for the challenge over at iCopic they are exploring blond hair this week. My Spring Goddess is a dark blond and I used Copic YR31, Y23, Y26, and E35 to create her golden locks.


We are closing in on recital here at the Houghton house! 3 days to go woo hoo. I think we are all ready to be done this year.
Hugs all!

Happy Tuesday all!

Long day here but wanted to get lots of stuff up here and then I will go to bed. We were at dress rehersals today for the majority of today so we are all wiped out. Recital this Saturday and dance is done. I recorded the dress rehearsal so I will post those later this week.

First here is a layout I made for the current challenge at A Day For Daisies. They have a wonderful card sketch that of course I have turned into a layout 🙂 The image is one of Tammy Thompson’s beautiful creations and could not have been more perfect for my family!

Here is a close up of our bear and two girls 🙂

I think this is quickly becoming a favorite image of mine! It is a creation of Michelle Perkett and I love how quick and easy it is to color and adapt to any set of papers! So fun!

And to top it off my Mermaid images were chosen (randomly) as the winner of last weeks challenge at Michelle Perkett’s challenge Blog! Thanks ladies!


Off to bed!
Hugs all!

I want to make sure that anyone who is interested knows that my newest class Copic Coloring will be starting June 7th at Get It Scrapped!!!! It will run for 5 weeks with two lessons a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you are going to be out of town no biggie! Remember this is on line and the lessons do not disappear so you can do them at your own pace. I hope any Copic colors out there who are interested will join me for the adventure. The class will go up for sale around the 16th and I will make sure to let you know!

Happy Thursday all! Told you I was getting busy with my crafting! I am a Guest Design Team Member today over at Michelle Perkett Studio. I made a layout and a card featuring two of Michelle’s amazing mermaids. The challenge this week is mermaids. Michelle has a whole fleet of them and they are all stunning.



I love them because I have two mermaids in my home and they seem to get more and more fish like as they get older so I might be doing a lot of mermaid layouts in days to come. the weather here is still hot and muggy today but tomorrow is supposed to drop about 20 degrees so we will see. The girls recital is next week and we will be done with dance for who knows how long. The girls have both decided to take at least next year off.

Have a great day everyone!
Hugs

Part 2 on the catch up of cards! Here are two images from A Day For Daisies. They of course are looking for Mom images as well. I could tell you who they are for but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. But these two Mom’s might be able to guess 😉


Not much news since yesterday but keep watching, there is more to come!

Well this week I am playing catch up! Not only do I get to participate in a few challenges again (because my class is all turned in! YIPEEEEE!) I also have an enormous pile of birthdays and events to send belated cards too! Better late than never right?!! Right?!! So here is my first one that I am sending out to a dear friend. I am also completing it for a challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio’s challenge blog we were creating Mother’s day cards. They have a fun month going on there.


This next one is going out for a belated birthday and the image is also from Michelle Perkett. She is one of the fabulous guest artist’s in my upcoming class!


On the family front we have two weeks left of dance. 3 weeks left of other after school activities and 4 weeks left of school. So I better get anything done quickly that I need to get done before I have to monkeys tagging along for the summer 🙂

Hugs!
