Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge

This week I was able to add a card to the challenge over at the Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge.

 This week's challenge:  Oh Ballooney ~ Must Have a Balloon

Awhile back when I was camping I colored up some images with my Prismas, one of them was Balloon Kaylee.  So, as you know I love coloring with my copics but it is almost impossible to take them in the trailer when we camp.  My solution was to learn to color with Prismacolor pencils. They close up in a tin and I just have to take along my odorless mineral spirits and go.  I definitely am still learning but am 

having a blast with the process.

The other thing I like to do when camping is take a little 6X6 paper pad and some A-2 cards to throw them together.  And when I get home throw on the extras and go.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from LOTV.

Some Odd Girl Manly Challenge

This is the perfect month for all these Manly Challenges!!  Some Odd Girl is also having a Manly Challenge this week.  As I posted a couple of days ago I spent some time camping this weekend sooooooooo, I used my prisma pencils to work on some images.  I also took very limited supplies so none of the cards I made are way out there with embellies, just images and paper!!  I bought this little guy Tobie and his puppy in rubber.   I am really trying to get into digital more, but I love inking up stamps.  Anyways, my son-in-law and daughter are going to have their first baby next December and I thought I would use this stamp for a little Father's Day Card for him.  He has a dog named Chief.  Now Chief is not a little puppy, he is a pretty big dog, but he is all black so I had to color this little guy all in black.

Isn't he a cutie?  OK, I will say, I am still learning with these Prisma's and Copics are so much faster!!  But they fit in my trailer really easily with a few My Mind's Eye 6X6 paper packs and I am set to go.  

 I gotta get off to work, when I get back home I am going to throw this into some more challenges, but for now it is going into the Challenge over at Some Odd Girl.  Hope you all check it out!  These image are some of the funnest to color!!

I am going to add this to the Simply Create Challenge~All about Dad

Happy Fathers Day LOTV

This past weekend we finally had some beautiful weather here in Oregon.  We bought a travel trailer recently and have been dying to take it out.  I however don't like to camp in the cold and rain, even inside a trailer.  Personally, I still like to sit by a fire and make smores.  I said I wasn't going to this time. You know, that forever quest to lose weight.  Well, I have been really good lately but, my daughter and her husband came and they brought the smore stuff and don't you know I caved!!  Oh yeah, back to the post.  So what does camping have to do with card making?  Well, I can't take along my copics (too much work) but I packed my prisma pencils, my oderless mineral spirits, some 6X6 paper pads, images to color, and went camping!!  I bought this darling image from Lily of the Valley specifically for some Father's Day cards. My husband has been playing the wii lately when I craft or browse blogs so when I saw this image I had to have it!!   This stamp is called Computer Fun, but I think it looks like the wii console we have.

The sentiment is from the Happy Circular Sentiments set.  I used a couple of different punches so that I could enter it into the Lily of the valley challenge this week.  I was thinking about doing a comparison with my copics but if I do that I may never get it uploaded!! LOL.  So one thing I want you to notice is his shorts! My husband wears camo shorts all the time! 

 I actually got 3 images colored while camping this weekend. How very peaceful to not have TV or a computer to steal my time!!  Thanks so much for stopping by. I love visitors!
