Special Doggie RequestI've had a couple ladies request this image and I promised both of them I'd get to it this week....one request is from Toronto this past weekend and another from one of my local gals! This is confused Christmas dog....and after seeing him all colored up, I really think I gotta get my Bessie-girl some antlers this Christmas.
 ...hubs said when I started blogging I was NOT allowed to blog ANYTHING about HIM unless he approved....and he really didn't officially approve of this pic (maybe cause I didn't ask him!), but I'm gonna sneak it in anyhow! The girl LOVES her daddy! Look at how she looks at him! hehehehe!....Now, he does read my blog from time to time (to find out what's going on!), but hopefully by the time he gets to this post, it will be too late to make a fuss over it! LOL!
Alright...enough about my girl and the hubby and I'll get on to the CARD! He's a cutie! And I must be in a bit of a distressed vintage mood these days cause I paired him up with a blend of last year's cosmo cricket and basic grey papers, both which have a vitage feel. Don't they look great together! The season's greetings sentiment is also Stamping Bella and the little fluff of leaves was created with a couple Martha Stewart punches. He is stamped on Bella's bestest paper, cut with a deckle edge nestie and he is for sure a vintage confused doggie! Did you know that bella's bestest paper now is available in CREAM....I prefer copics on white paper, but if you are a pencil fan, this is A GREAT PAPER FOR YOU with the same great qualities of the white paper! Now, if you want to color him yourself, copics used are: E41, 42, 43, 33, 35, 39 E07. 09, G12, 82, 94 W0, 3, BLACK, colorless blender Finally this weeks challenge is 'ANYTHING BELLA'...How easy is that, especially for all the bella fans out there! I have my card all ready and done and I've turned a non-holiday bella into a holiday card with a sentiment and a little imagination! Hope to see you participating on Friday!  You're SO cool!Hi everyone! I'm back from Bella land and had THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME!!!!!!!! With a few copic classes under my belt I am getting a better sense of what you need to know. SO I have an entirely new handout brewing in my head for next class in addition to the pics of the finished works and color guide! I'm NOT gonna give anything away, but it is based on my most frequently asked questions and things that I have observed during class. I think you are REALLY gonna like it! I am also going to work on some 'hybrid' coloring using copics and pencils....who says everything has to be done entirely in copics! Remember we are making a CARD and not entering a copic contest! But, with holidays coming up I MOST DEFINITELY won't be back until the new year!!!!!! Hope to see you then!
Now for today's card! It is a little scrappy isn't it! Not my typical style but I really like it! I used a few new things that I picked up at Stamping Bella this weekend....Dylan who comes with the you're so cool sentiment, a quickutz notebook sheet die (LOVE IT!), a spellbinders tag trio and that uber cool very masculine Bella Blvd plaid paper. This one is appropriately called Couch Potato! BWAAAHAHA! Do you know I met someone this weekend who owns EVERY quickutz die ever made...honest...she admitted to ALMOST EVERY ONE....OMG! I think I instantly LOVED her! I PRAY to win the lotto!!!!!!!!!! This is an A6 size card and Dylan was coloured with copic markers on bella's bestest paper and shaded with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I am ALWAYS in need of boy cards and this one is gonna be a good addition to my stash! If you want to color him yourself, copics used are: E50, 51, 53 R20 (my preferred color combo for boys/men faces) E40, 42, 44, 47, T1, 5 YG01, 03, 25 17 I'm so happy I took today off...guess what i'm gonna do???? See you all very soon....thanks for dropping by! Linda!  got flu?It is Bellarific Friday today and I've been bizzy bizzy bizzy getting ready for the classes this weekend. Hope you like what I have in store for ya! It's gonna be a blend of someting old, something new, something glittery, something blue! Geeze, was that corny or what! I don't think I got enough sleep and I'm a little giddy this morning.
The other morning I woke up REAL early, like at 3:30. By the time 4:30 rolled around and I still wasn't sleeping I just decided to get up and color my image for the challenge. It was early and I wanted something simple so I pulled out Fluey Huggabug. With everyone around me sneezing and hacking I thought it was a good choice for this weeks wild card. Then I had this idea to make it like a milk add so I pulled out my quickuts studio skinny minni alphabet and created got flu? How cute is that! Even the hubs got a chuckle out of it when he came home from the gym. If you want to create something similiar but don't have quickutz, go check out Paula's card today because she used her computer for her got love sentiment....and if you are wondering, we knew each other was doing this....our brains aren't quite that connected! If you want to color fluey in the same colors, here they are: E0000, 000, 00, 11, R20 V0000, 000, 91, 93, 95, 17 E40, 42, 43, 44 C00, 0, 2, W00, 0, 1, N3 E31, 33, colorless blender Have a wild and crazy Friday everyone, don't get sick and make sure to check out Em's blog later today to see all the other wild card ideas. For those in my class tomorrow....ONE MORE SLEEP! See you soon! And I'll get to those c-box questions today too!  One confused kittyI don't know if you all get confused or not, I don't get easily confused, but the older I get the more forgetful I am getting! Like you don't know the half of it! If I don't leave myself a note, it's gone!
 Gifty TreeGosh...I feel like I've been MIA on the blog cause I have so many things going on. I'm still working on getting those Toronto class cards done....I gotta say, I'm a little angst cause I usually like to have that done and out of the way at least a week in advance! Images are done, and colors are finalized so contact Emily to see what colors you will be needing.
