Hey! Well I finally got a chance to make a card today! I've been trying to pick out Copic colors, which takes me forever! I don't want to end up with colors I don't like, so what ever colors I'm considering I google to find cards it was used on, so I can see how the color really looks, and how well it goes with other colors since the Copic color charts are so horribly off. I was going to get 12 more Ciaos, but my sweet hubby told me I could get more if I wanted! So my 12 Ciaos turned into 13 Sketches, 10 Ciaos and a colorless blender refill (mine is dry already). Carpediemstore.com has free shipping on any order that contains at least $50 in sketch markers, but otherwise their shipping is really high! They haven't raised their prices yet like they were supposed to, so the sketch were only $3.95 each (Ciaos are $2.65), and I was thinking now would be a good time to get some of the colors not available in Ciao that I want since I know I'll never be able to get that price again. I emailed them and asked when they are raising their prices and they said the price will stay as is until they run out of inventory. Better get them cheap while you can!!

I've been wanting to try the new Gina K pure luxury cardstock, since I've heard how great it works with Copics, and Lorie sent me some to try out! Wasn't that sweet of her! She also sent me the gorgeous card below! I LOVE that sentiment! Have y'all tried this paper? The name describes it perfectly! It is awesome! Super smooth like SU, but really thick. You get beautiful stamped images just like SU cardstock. It does work great with Copics. They go on so smooth, and blending is easier. Even though it's such thick paper it doesn't feel like it's draining my marker like when I color on PTI though. I really love it! With that being said though, I think I'm actually going to stick with my Georgia Pacific for now though. Now that I've gotten used to the GP, it works almost as well. My main reason though, is that I participate in WishRaks, so I receive images that 99% of the time are stamped on GP. I noticed that when I colored on the Gina K paper for a while, and then went back to the GP is was much harder for me to blend and keep the ink from running out of the lines, so I don't want to get spoiled by the Gina K, to where I'm not able to color on the GP. If I was rich I'd just buy all the stamps I wanted and only use Gina K cardstock, but I'm not, lol. Seriously though, I highly recommend the Gina K cardstock!

ETA: I forgot to mention this sketch is from the Viva La Verve challenges on SCS. I didn't follow the rules though. It was supposed to be a monochromatic card, but I really liked the sketch. You can see the sketch HERE.

Good afternoon!! This card is for Jen's Sketch for you to try. The image I used was a little big though. I really like this sketch, so I already started on another one with a smaller main image last night. I didn't feel like finishing it though, so I'll probably do that today . I think I have new SU coming tomorrow!! I'm not quite sure though. The order still doesn't say shipped, but apparently there is a glitch in the system right now that isn't showing when all of the orders ship. Someone said you could put in the order number as a reference number on the UPS website, so I tried it and it showed a package coming from Salt Lake City, Utah to Lugoff, SC. I sure hope it's mine!!

Hey everyone! We finally got some snow today ! I LOVE snow! We didn't get a whole lot though. It looks like about 1/2". It hasn't even completely covered the ground yet, but it is still snowing. I hope we get enough to have some fun it! I think it's been a few years since we've had enough.

I've been debating about walking to the mail box and see if my catalog is in there. It's so cold outside though, and it's probably about a 10 minute walk there and back. I'm getting kinda sick of making that freezing walk everyday and walking back without a catalog in my hands! I saw it online last night though. I really like it. There is so much stuff I want! I LOVE the tree in that sympathy set! Oh, and Classy and Fabulous! That is too cute! Don't really love her hair, but I think I'm getting it anyway. I think I'd use that set a lot.

This is a stamp I got around Christmas that hasn't seen ink yet, so I had to use it. Isn't it cute?!
