just my style

Magical Markers !!

A week and a half ago I went to Mystic Connecticut for a training seminar for Copic Markers !! It was taught by Marianne Walker who is a product specialist and an amazing artist. These markers are SO versitile and the colors are gorgeous !! The markers are used quite a bit in stamping and card making but the possibilities are endless. Copic markers come in different styles and can even be used for airbrushing !! Check out the site and you'll be amazed !! Right at Home has a wonderful selection of these markers including Spica Markers which are glitter pens that add a nice POP to your project. The class was fun and I can't wait to expand my collection !! Well, I'm off to relax and finish watching Idol !!

I'll leave you with a pic of my dog Simba ... she REALLY knows how to relax ...

Kinda M.I.A. !!!

OK - So I've been kinda MIA for awhile !! Sorry to everyone - it's WAY too easy to let time slip by without posting !! I'm going to make an effort to be a better Blogger !!! 

I have been busy creating and I have many LO's to share but can't post them yet !!

Look for an update tomorrow from Inspired Blueprints ...  we are doing something REALLY FUN for April - lots of inspiration !!  

I'm off to work and I'll try and post tonight and share with you a seminar I took on Copic Markers - they are SO fun and the possibilities with them are endless ~~ Have a great day and you'll be hearing form me more often - I promise !!!

A GORGEOUS SUNDAY !!

Hi Everyone,

What a GORGEOUS DAY !! It's so nice to have the windows open to air out the house and not have the heat on !! Spring is SOOO around the corner !! YAHOO !!

Sketch # 12 was just released from Inspired Blueprints and we all had a blast doing this one !! Check out the gallery to see all the awesome interpretations. Here's my take on the sketch:

I photographed this outside which is working better for me lately so the fence is in the background. This was a fun sketch !! April at  IB is going to be different and SO fun so stay tuned !!

Josh, Jim and I went to Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro last evening to do something different. What a cool place for little ones - lots to do and see. I'm not much into fishing, unlike Jim, and neither one of likes the idea of hunting  but it's still a cool to place to visit. Here are a few pics from out visit:

It's always great to end a visit with a smile like this one !!

Working on more projects which I can't wait to show you !! Have a great afternoon and enjoy this lovely sunny weather !!

GOTTA LOVE NEW ENGLAND

So, yesterday was about 60 degrees, I actually sat in the sun for a few and it felt GREAT, no coats, windows open, AWESOME !! Today, rain, sleet and SNOW !! Gotta LOVE New England !! Hey, Spring is right around the corner and it's now lighter longer so we're getting there !!!

Wanted to share a LO and a card based on Sketch # 11 from Inspired Blueprints.  My assignment was to do an  8.5 x 11 and a card based on the sketch. This was my first 8.5 x 11 and I did it in a landscape format to try something different (for me). The card is "springy" because I needed to take a break from winter projects !! TFL !!!
