Moving right along with our 10 + 2 color combo's.
This week we are using Copic Yellow colors.

I picked my lightest color first
Lightest Color: Y000

Y000 +10 = Y10 + 2 = Y12
But since there is no Y12 I used Y11
Medium Color: Y11
then for my darkest color I added 10 + 2 so
Y11 + 10 = Y21 + 2 = Y23
Darkest Color: Y23

The image used is a digital image called Girl with Sign from Mo's Digital Pencil.
She can be found HERE.


I hope your swatch book is coming along.

Sweet November Card Series - Pine


I still haven't figured out my new photo editing program.
But I wanted to get started on this series.
So I did it the same way.
I did speed up a couple places.
It's suppose to be quick... :O)

Any ho..let's start my first,
 start to finish card series with card #1



Hope you enjoy it.
Let me know what you think.
You can either leave a comment here or on the YouTube Channel post.
If you like the idea of a card series or you hate it.
I'd greatly appreciate it.

Make sure and stay tuned for card #2.

Have a wonderful day.

I Received My..


I spent yesterday with Marianne Walker.
Man she is fun!
She made the all day class just fly by.
If you haven't taken the Copic Classes they are really fun and very informative!
If you see one coming to your area I highly recommend them.
I learned lots of stuff and will need to practice now.
Even I need practice.

So it's official I received my 
Intermediate Copic Certification.
I came home and put the certificate right into the frame on the wall..
Well this morning that is... :O)

Hope your having a fabulous weekend!

Bloom Card Kit...


We've made it to the last of the CC Designs Sweet November series.
This is Bloom.
Totally adorable!
The paper is again Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot.

I'll be doing a start to finish video series on these next week.
So look for that!


All 4 cards use the same paper line and the same Copic colors.
So they will all look great in a gift collection.
How about a Christmas Present to a friend?
I might have to sit down and make up a cute box for the set.
How about that?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Shroom Card Kit...


Here's card number three in the CC Design Sweet November series.
This is Shroom.
Isn't he cute!
This kit also comes with the Mushroom Stamp Set.
The paper is Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot.
I love the background paper.
It has those beautiful leaves on it.


I was trying to figure out how to do voice over on my video's and of course my free Movie Maker program that came on my computer doesn't do that.
So I will have to figure out how to work my Video Studio Pro program.
It's very daunting!
Or talk my husband into showing me and letting me use iMovie on his MAC.
Either way I will be doing a start to finish series on these cute 4 cards.

Stay tuned for Bloom.

Have a wonderful day.

Nutter Card Kit...


I'm working right along on the Sweet November images by Amy Young.
This is Nutter.
Isn't he cute?
I used the Acorn Die Cutter Set by CC Designs this time.
I hadn't used it before.
There are two different nuts and two different leaves in the set.
They are small though so you have to be careful.
The paper is Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot.


I'm thinking of doing a coloring series on the four cards once I get them all together.
I've cut out an extra card of each so I can show you a start to finish.
What do you think?
Is that something you would enjoy?
Maybe have a give away over on the YouTube Channel..

Thanks for stopping by.
I better go work on Bloom or Shroom.

Pine Card Kit...


I've had these cute CC Designs Sweet November images by Amy Young
in my color box for a while now.
So with the arrival of the Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot paper
I thought I would break them out.
Aren't they perfect?

This cute one is called Pine.


There are going to be four in all.
Pine, Bloom, Nutter & Shroom.
The Be Happy Sentiment Set will NOT be included in the kits.
I'll be using it on all four cards.

All but the "I'm here for you" sentiment will fit on the tag.
And that one would fit at an angle.

These would make a cute gift set for a friend or two.
Maybe for a Christmas present!

Thanks for stopping by.
See you again next time.

Color Combo's - Blues...


How about another couple of Blue Color Combo's.


This first one is B02, B01 & B00
Like it will be using it.


This one is B37, B34 & B32
It's not for quick coloring.
Needs more blending.
If I was really coloring a project with it I would work it more.
I can see it being great for jeans.

The cute image is by Saturated Canary.
It was a freebie a while back for breast cancer awareness.
 I found it HERE
Yes I erased the logo before printing I didn't want to color around it.
It was too much work for a quick color job. 

Hope you all had a safe holiday!

I was digging around in my to be colored box and came across this cute CC Designs image.
It even comes with the cute sentiment.
Need a quick card to give to someone?

Burger Tilda Card Kit...


With it being almost the 4th of July I thought this would be the perfect time to color up Burger Tilda.
Isn't she cute!
I used the new Carta Bella - Beautiful Moments Paper Collection.
I love the soft pink & red tones.


I know chef hats are white, but doesn't her pink one look cute.


You can find some great Magnolia accessory stamps in the store.
Like this BBQ.
Doesn't it just give it a little something extra.
It's NOT included in the Kit, but you can pick it up and add it yourself.
I included the colors I used for the BBQ in the directions.
Just in case.

Have a fabulous day!
Thanks for stopping by.
