Colored pencils and May Arts ribbon get along so well!  There are so many colors to choose from between the both of them!  If you start with the ribbon colors and try to match the pencils ... no problem! Lots of options! and vice versa!  Start with colored pencils and you're sure to find a ribbon to match.  Love it!  I've been looking for an excuse to use the watermelon ribbon!

I was pretty sure the rain was going to get rid of all the snow....it was soooo close!  Just when it looked like all the dog poop was going to show - it started to snow again!  (I didn't want to scoop it all up anyway!)  I defy winter with this very Bright card of flowers!!!

This card is part of the "Blooms" class at my studio this month!

I'll only consider myself a successful blogger when I can do postings even though life takes a twisting turn.  It's one of the reasons I have such a huge respect for single moms.  They do triple plus duty everyday.  And even if someone does give her a break, she knows perfectly well that it won't last and she'll be on the front lines again in a matter of hours.   I've got a great husband and I still can't do it!  If you haven't caught on yet....I'm trying to excuse myself for not blogging consistently.  Who cares if someone blogs consistently?  Probably no-one....but I like to think that if I ever get a handle on it...I might be slightly organized!  Wouldn't that feel awesome??!!!  I can't wait!

It took me awhile to make a match for my other two cards.  But it can't be too matchy matchy right??!!  They're pretty matchy!  darn!

Well...if you like 'em....here's where you can take the first class.  (I'm going to do this at my studio a little later)... But Shannon at "Remember When Scrapbooking" MI is going to host it at her store on:

Call Shannon at (586) 598-1810

WARNING:  If you are going to take the class...Please bring your own colored pencils!  Shannon is not selling them at this time (Scrapbook store...not a stamp or craft store).  You don't necessarily have to have these exact colors....but try to bring some good matches.  I will help out as much as I am able.

Once again I'm about to put up a card on my blog without everything done and hope that I get back to it to fill the recipe in.  Thanks to a very good friend named Demra, We got the packaging and organizing for 2 classes coming up this week.  At which point I told myself...OK - now I'll blog!  But I'm poopy tired and my eyes are crossing involuntarily....so I'm going to just throw this card up and drag myself to the kitchen where I left a glorious mess!!!  Actually, it's not at all glorious....it's sad really!

I do have to tell you one cool thing though!  This card really needed a charm or something to set it off.  This is a great set of stamps from "Just Rite Stamps"....but, you know, it just needed a little something!  So I went looking for a free clip art anchor!  And what do you know?!  The perfect one was waiting there for me to use!  I colored it, cut it out, popped it out with foam mounting and used some crystal lacquer to give it that "charm" feel!  Yay!!
