Copics & Bella!

Well I must say I haven't assembled my cards from the bella class yet but it is only because all I want to do is color!

So fun... I picked up this image while I was there so I thought I would play in their hWeekly Sketch Challenge !

Can't wait to color more!
Have a great day!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

Well this month's blog hop was all about fall but putting a different spin on it... like using a weird product or technique. I loved the bamboo wallpaper the moment I first saw it and the colors are beautiful! This is the second time I used it on a card, love it!





Everthing is Papertrey Ink (the twine is colored with a copic) except the Zing Embossing Powder, copics, crystal effects, the bling and the wallpaper of course although Nichole is pretty brilliant so she just might launch a line... haha!

Now head on over to the hop!

Shut the Front Door!

Ok first of all, you need to check out this blog...Heaven's Created This. I first seen her work at scrapfest when she colored a ton of bellas for the Paper Pickle store. So then I casually stalked her blog, gently advising her she needed to teach a class! Well I took her copic class yesterday along with my girls and it was SAWESOME... yes I made a word, it was that good!

I need to assemble the cards and I will post them soon but I seriously learned A LOT!

Me, Linda, Avril & Regs

No introduction needed here but for anyone new visiting... we took the class at Stamping Bella and this is us with uber awesome Emily... the top Bella!

Me, Emily, Avril, Regs

Good times!
