But today I actually scrapped! Fun doing Shimelle's Weekend Challenge. I chose to do her "Colour Challenge" and it happened that I had exactly what I needed to come really close to the colors suggested thanks to an Echo Park kit that I've had for about 4 years!<br />

NO...I won't do that to you. I just need to satisfy myself that I've actually been coloring everyday of this challenge. Just too busy to bother to post.<br />
<br />
I will say that this challenge has been terrific and has made me make something colorful every single day!<br />
<br />
Here we go and thanks for looking:<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/2015/06/day-1-copic-coloring-and-video/">http://www.thedailymarker.com/2015/06/day-1-copic-coloring-and-video/</a><br />
<br />
I'm hoping I can keep up with the daily challenges for the next 30 days. So here is the first assignment...Copic coloring. I really enjoyed this challenge because we were to do blending with colors that are not the same. I am used to the blending of 3 colors within the same family of colors. Not so this time and I am pleased with the results though my technique of blending needs work.<br />
<br />
Since the assignment used a butterfly for the stamped image I decided to do the same and chose my Michael Strong butterfly. What a lovely cloisonné pattern it has which made it a bit more challenging for me to color rather than the typical symmetrical look of a real butterfly. I then mounted it on a copper panel and onto a dark green card stock.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and "I'll be back" tomorrow with another coloring assignment.<br />

I've been planning this day for over a month. I had a successful day in finding 90 species in little over 12 hours.<br />
<br />
It's been 2 years since I've had a large number of species in one day on my own. My previous record was 87 and it was just pure lucky timing that I found so many birds that day. But yesterday was planned with specific locations and birds to be found there. I missed some expected birds but passing my previous count by 3 birds was exciting. I'm not in this for any competition. It's just pure pleasure to see so many fabulous creatures in one day and also satisfying that my birding abilities have improved in part by my being able to identify birds by their calls and songs. Out of the 90 birds, 20 of them were identified by sound only, though some of them I did eventually see elsewhere.<br />

Julie Ebersole's two card classes that I attended yesterday were meant to be two hours each. Ha! Julie packs so much into her classes that the idea of making 6 to 7 cards in two hours is hilarious. She is just so likable, talented, funny, creative and generous that I can't wait to take another class or two from her next time she is in Sacramento. <br />
<br />
Here's what I made. My execution is not the greatest but we all worked furiously to get all the cards completed which I did. I learned a lot of new tricks and looks that I will try on my own.<br />
<br />
13 Cards:<br />

SO...since it's just a few hours until March arrives I decided to have an end-of-the-month gallery review. You will see I've been a little busy with challenges, grandkid cards, Valentine's Day and many more. So here is what I've been making since my last post.<br />
<br />
Grandkid cards for a collective birthday party. The card base is from Stephanie Barnard's Step Up card die and the critters are from Paper Smooches.<br />

The next three are two card samples I created with the sketch I made for the March PAO Card Sketch Challenge. The sentiment stamps are from My Favorite Things, the hydrangea is Stampendous and the flower border is Unity Stamps. Hydrangeas were colored with Copics.</div>

One of my goals (and challenge thanks to my friend Jen) this year is to make 5 holiday cards a month so by the time December rolls around I have a pile in my arsenal. This particular group of 5 was made from gorgeous cocktail napkins! After peeling away the excess layers leaving the printed layer left, they are then glued to white card stock. These 5 were all embossed with various folders for more texture before adding them to card bases. I really feel like I have cheated if I don't involve some stamping. </div>

This darling bird from Hero Arts was stamped in a year old ink pad I made myself. It has really held up well. The flowers from Stampendous were embossed in green embossing powder and then colored.</div>

This card was one of those cards that just hit me and I knew exactly what I wanted to do, even though it hit me a tad late. This is a birthday card for my friend Jen's husband. He is keen on vintage cars as well as keeping up with what is happening on Wall Street. I couldn't have been luckier to have this paper from Graphic 45 of the New York Stock Exchange. I found the old Pontiac somewhere online about a year ago and have just been waiting to use it. I printed it out in red and then cut it out on my KNK.</div>

I selected to kill Graphic 45 8x8 French Country paper pad. I am getting the job done slowly, one card at a time. This was my first card of the group. I've been wanting to play with the Unity "Mod Clocks" for some time. So I employed my Klic N Kut by scanning the clock and 'timeless' sentiment and using the print and cut method on the KNK. So, so easy...no dies required. I also made a shadow for the clock with the KNK. The clock is colored with Copics, the sentiment edged with Distress Ink and the rest is all paper from the collection.<div>

Here's my very fast submission for this week's FWF using Bee Happy Hexagons. What a darling set. All stamps are from this set. My Fisksars hexagon punch was the perfect size to pop out these different textured hexagon stamps.<br />

This PAO challenge simply involves using an item or items in your stash that need to be used up.<br />
<br />
In my case that would be everything in my craft room! Therefore I decided for the month of January, my selection for this challenge will be to use up, to the best of my ability, the November and December TSOL monthly card kits. <br />
<br />
Today I completed my first Valentine card. This quite possibly will be my card to my sweet hubby. Valentine's Day is also our wedding anniversary...the 28th! But knowing me I will change my mind a few times before 2/14.<br />
<br />
Anyway this card was made with multiple TSOL items from December's Card Kit and Die Hard Club sets. The base is Stephanie Barnard's Step-Ups Basic Card die for Sizzix. What I found to be so wonderful in making this card was that everything I needed to make this card was included in those two December kits. The only exception was the medium grey card stock from my stash used for the card base.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking.<br />

Time flies. My hope for all reading this blog is to have a very healthy and happy year to come.<br />
<br />
I haven't posted all month but that is about to change. My plan this year is to be more involved in card challenges AND get some kind of scrapping done as well. <br />
<br />
<br />
First off is a challenge that I create myself on Paperartistsonline.com. Each month I will be posting on the 1st, a card sketch for anyone there to use to create their own version. For January I decided I wanted to push myself out of my semetricalness (I know, not a real word) and go for some different angles. I like the opposing feel of angles being stretched out creating a sense of movement. This is my sketch and first spin on that idea.<br />
<br />

I used the October 2013 KOM "Oh Christmas Tree". There are so many stamps to choose from that I had a hard time deciding what to do. But I had two goals tonight. One was to get a FWF card in on time and at the same time use my PAO sketch to create it with. I think I achieved my goals. <br />
<br />
I scanned the jar and tag and then printed and cut on my Klic N Kut. I so love my KNK! The jar was printed on Copic friendly paper and my ink jet printer ink does the job. No smearing or bleeding. I also did a little paper piecing for the bow around the jar's lid. Then once finished coloring the jar I stamped the peppermint candy inside the jar. Love those little candies...so cute.<br />
<br />
All stamps are from Oh Christmas Tree:<br />

Jen will be a hard act to follow. Her card sketches have been fabulous, challenging and so much fun.<br />
<br />
So for my first sketch I actually created one of my typical stream-of-consciousness cards and <b><i>then</i></b> made the sketch. Is that cheating? <br />
<br />
<br />
Though going backwards here this is my sketch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This is the original card I made the sketch above from. Large die cut tag from PTI, fern stamp JudiKin's, little tag and stamp TSOL/Stephanie Barnard and matting from assorted MFT Blueprint sets. Paper from assorted stash.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, I actually made a card FROM the sketch. I just wish the shimmery appearance of this card showed up better in the photo. Card base and blue/green panel are from Club Scrap collections, tree is a die from Elizabeth Crafts and sentiment die is PTI.<br />

Embossing folders really are an easy, quick and terrific way to make a fast card. The sentiment is a Unity stamp which fits nicely into the blank area of this embossing folder. A few buttons with enamel dots, some baker's twine and Bob's your Uncle as my friend Jen says. <br />

What a fun and intense day it was. Two, 2 hour classes of 3 cards each. I'm proud that I finished the first 5 and nearly completed the 6th. Maybe my energy will return tonight or tomorrow and I will finish it. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile here is what I did finish.<br />

Paper and stickers are from the Friendly Forest Collection. I just love the colors and darling animals and owls. The card base is TSOL's Triple Cricle Flip-It die. I think the children will love the interactive style card.<br />

Thanks for looking:)Farleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06385705201731447899noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487589227036783478.post-23168110053430803252014-11-21T20:55:00.000-08:002014-11-21T20:55:46.689-08:00Unity FWF Friday - Masking PlayI couldn't wait to play with two new sets of stamps tonight. I didn't give a lot of thought for a card. Merely a chance to play with 3 stamps and some masking. I don't feel that cards always need a sentiment. Simple note cards are often just the ticket for a nice note to someone without a specific theme.<br />
<br />
The flight of birds background is from Vintage Era Background and the two tags are from The Garden (What-not) Collection. I bought the Vintage set mainly for the birds but all the stamps will be fun to be creative with. But those birds really got me.<br />
<br />
I stamped the tags first onto card stock and then masked them with Eclipse paper before over stamping with the bird stamp. So simple. The background for the tag with the glasses was easily done with JudiKins Dusters (short stubby brushes that look like shaving brushes) and Distress Inks.<br />
<br />
The birds on the second card were stamped in my homemade pad of multi-Distress Inks.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and your comments.<br />

I've already received many from my swap group so I needed to get busy. I finished them last night and they'll go out in the mail on Monday. So if by chance you are in my swap group...don't look! LOL.<br />
<br />
I was pleased with myself for using embossing folders, stamps and dies in my stash! <br />
<br />
This first tag is for our organizer. I'll be giving her this one plus one of the others as well since we are both in two groups. Tag was die cut from an MFT tag die on Club Scrap black sparkly card stock from "Cruisin'" kit. Houses are stamps and die from Stampin' Up!<br />

<br />
And now for my embossing folder tags. I found this a great way to make them with some speed. Emboss and then just swipe with Distress Ink Mini Ink Pads. And of course I had to put a bird on it.<br />

Thanks for looking and I hope I didn't spoil it for anyone.Farleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06385705201731447899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487589227036783478.post-59934161196407818542014-11-15T21:16:00.002-08:002014-11-15T21:16:57.393-08:00A Departure From the UsualI use this blog for sharing my crafting interests but today I want to share another interest of mine...birding. I began birding about 4 1/2 years ago. I went on my first bird walk with a local expert and that was all it took. I can proudly say that I am a bird geek.<br />
<br />
Today I had a fascinating day right in my own yard and I wanted to show just a few of the 100+ photos I took today. <br />
<br />
My first set of photos is of a Song Sparrow. What made me excited to see him is that I've never seen one at my home. I see them frequently out in rural areas that I bird but never in the suburbs. I do keep a number of seed feeders and this guy must have liked what he saw. He fed with the other regulars but stuck around when the others moved off. (More why they moved off below:)<br />
<br />
He liked hiding in my neighbor's hedge for safety but when I "pished" at him (literally making that sound) he would pop up for a few seconds allowing me these photos. In the Spring his song is beautiful. During the non-nesting time like now they make a soft "bark" call.<br />

The reason that all the other birds disappeared quickly was our resident Cooper's Hawk. She (or he) is a beauty and quite amusing to watch. The little birds however are rightfully afraid. A Cooper's Hawk's main diet is small birds and they know to hang out at bird feeders, like ours. She seems to like my husband's roof rack on his car. She then dove into a shrub knowing that numerous House Sparrows were hiding in there. Finally she gave up and went to the top of a sycamore tree to preen and groom. Or perhaps to sulk because she did not succeed in finding a munchie to enjoy.<br />

But this week I finally got a few Halloween cards made and mailed. This one is for a dear friend in Cincinnati...I don't think she'll look here before it arrives...yes, I am late with hers. Sigh.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this fun "Toxic" label comes from the September KOTM, "happy, thankful & blessed". That set has so many useful holiday related stamps. I've really enjoyed playing with this kit.<br />
<br />
Embossing in white embossing powder and then coloring with permanent markers (Sharpies, Copics, Spectrum Noir)<br />

is a great way to use black and other dark colored card stock. The inks look like they are illuminated against the black background.<br />

It's new to me anyway. A fine line drawing that asks for so many ways to use it. I played around with assorted inks and papers but for FWF I chose to do it up in Copics since I've been taking the OCC class on Copics for Card Makers.<br />
<br />
I am doing this at the eleventh hour and naturally my Aperture program decided there was a problem and is doing a backup. So the likelihood of this getting in on time is low. Never the less I am quite in love with this stamp and will use it in many ways.<br />
<br />
<br />
Whew! I found another way to get it in on time...yay! But I wasn't able to "enhance" it in any way. Oh well. <br />
<br />
"Thank You" is also Unity.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment:)<br />

Not only did I use all Unity stamps but the little girl is colored with Copic markers which qualifies also for the OCC Copic Markers for Card Makers class.<br />
<br />
Stamps used: You're My Bestie, Better. Somewhere. Today. and KOTM "the best is yet to be". I love to mix up my Unity stamps to create a whole, unique look. "Arigato" is from Hero Arts.<br />

The coloring isn't all that bad but I felt the need to create a face on one and "improve" on another. Both are total fails. LOL This assignment is more about the whole body, not just the hair and skin. I feel like I did decently on the clothing but the faces? Ha!<br />
<br />
The first character is Lilli Girl from Unity Stamps. She is adorable in spite of my coloring. She does not have a face so I attempted to create one. Bad, I know. I need to stamp her a dozen times and practice a decent expression. She looks a little ticked off about something.<br />

<br />
Next is Pure Innocence: Little Gardener from MFT. At least she does have a face, however I tried to make more of a happy mouth and managed to touch some black from her hair and smushed it onto her face. Oh my goodness! Better leave her alone next time.<br />
