Blog Award, Me??

My good friends Joyce and Sara gave me this blog award.

I need to nominate 5 other bloggers as well. This is hard since there are so many great and creative blogs out there. Here are a couple that I visit frequently. I tried to spread the love around so not all one group got all the attention.

Here are the rules:

I feel guilty since I have not been very good at keeping this place up to date, so now I guess I should add something new for you all to look at too.

This is the card that I made for the Christmas Shoe Box Swap that I went to a few weeks ago.



I was told at the Swap that I am the coloring girl. I found that funny as I rarely colored any of my images until last fall when Kim introduced me to Copics. I'll admit that I am now addicted to them, but I still found that funny.

Stamp image using Brilliance Graphite Black on white cs. Set aside to dry.
Assemble decorative panels mount on large Not Quite Navy panel.
Color image as desired using Copic Markers
Punch corners of image panel using Ticket punch.
Mount to small Not Quite Navy panel.
Assemble onto Baja Breeze card base
Use white gel pen to add accents to card
Finally, use Stardust glitter pen to add snowy accents to image.
