The Outlawz Tuesday Challenge

It's Tuesday again............I guess that means it is time for a new Color Challenge over at the Outlawz!!  Guylou picked our inspiration photo for us this week along with the application that just so happens to be add texture.  The colors are Apple green, Blue and White.  Green apples are some of my favorite, with a salt shaker of course!  And that fun apple green color is one of my faves to play with!!

A couple of weeks ago I won a prize from Amy Young over at her blog A thousand sheets of paper.  I was so excited to get it in the mail.  It included this darling new image of Darby and Lulu from the Sweet November line of stamps.  I just love this darling image.  She also sent me paper, ribbon, buttons, flowers. So fun to win a prize package from one of my favorite designers!! 

I feel like I could have done more on this card, but since I am recovering from surgery on Friday I am just glad I could get this one done and ready!!!  I usually spend some time on the inside, but this time I will add that later!

Don't forget that we have a sponsor this month. 

shellysimages is sponsoring the Tuesday Color Challenge.  We also have Oozak and SCACD sponsoring a monthly challenge.  How fun is that!!!
So what do you say?  You gonna come on over and join in the challenge this week?  Hope to see you there!

Time for a Blog Candy

This post will stay on top. Blog candy available until March 31, 2011

So my blogger friend Dana recently did a post about prismacolor pencils versus copic markers.  She got me intrigued.  What do I do when I get intrigued?  I go to Ebay and start looking!!  Needless to say I bid on 2 sets of prismacolors and won them both.  Well you know I am going to keep the 48 for myself.  Now I could have put them back on Ebay, but instead I saved them to go with my Blog Candy.  I recently hit 100 followers.  Now, I would like to celebrate that fact!!  And hopefully get a few more!!  But first I want to show you what I did with my Prismacolors and my new RV-63,66's.  I think we need a color in between as well.  There is a a real difference in these colors.  I started by choosing this fabulous ribbon I got off of Ebay, then chose my papers, then my pencils and markers.  The markers are almost purple but are called raspberry.  I used a Sweet November Lillian stamp and buttons so I could enter it into the Challenge at All That Scraps this week.  So first off I am going to show you my two images.

The one on the left is colored with prismacolor premier pencils.  The one on the right is colored with my copic markers.  So the pencils are going to take some work, but it was my first time. 

Then  I went ahead and finished them both off on a card.  I used my favorite sentiments by AmyR  called Sassy Sentiments.  There are some new ones out this month, I need to run over and shop for!! LOL

I will say that it was fun to play with a new medium.  I will need more practice though!!  What I really was thinking though is that it will be so much easier to load up the pencils and OMS in the travel trailer than to pack up all my markers this summer!

OK, now back to the blog candy.  This will be pretty easy.  All you have to do is:
1. be a follower of my blog.
2. put a pic of my blog candy in your side bar.

I would also love you to comment and let me know what you think of the differences between the prisma and the copics.  And feel free to send people my way.

Do you see all the goodies.  A 36 package of premier prismacolor pencils, 2 copic markers, some of my favorite coffee ribbon, some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, some Neenah paper, a Calendar for you to design, 2 new Sweet November stamps, and pearls!!
