Another month, another Papertrey Blog Hop!

This month, we had this fabulous photo for inspiration…

Oh the possibilities! I almost broke out Vintage Picnic for this one, but instead the jar caught my attention...

And I went with one of my fav sets, Friendship Jar. And I filled my jar with YUMMY strawberries. I also broke out Half and Half {again!} - I can tell these dies and stamps are gonna get serious milage! I used quite a lot of red on this card too - I guess the strawberries influenced me more than I realized :)

I colored my strawberries with the following Copics - R20, R22, R29, R35 and YG00 for a hint of yellowy green. For the leaves I used YG11 and YG17. For a little more somethin' somethin', I added a few new leaf buttons with rustic twine.

So last night was my last time in my craft room before the move :( Next time I enter, I'll be packing up my inks and markers and such… it's been such a happy room for me and I'm sure my next space in PEI will be the same way :) Hopefully our stuff will arrive in PEI sooner rather than later so I can set it up ASAP and get backing into craftin' mode!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I appreciate your visits :) Happy hopping!

TTFN,

Howdy all! Happy weekend! How about some brand new, super fabulous CR84FN #36 color inspiration?!

The photos in the gorgeous inspiration graphic come from Martha Stewart.

One of my new favorite techniques is coloring on kraft cardstock with white gel pens. No just any white gel pens, mind you. I used to be frustrated by the gel pens I purchased. They would work for a moment or two, then, bam, they would skip or stop writing all together. Grrrr. That was until I found Gelly Roll Gel Pens. O. M. G. They are the PERFECT gel pen. I kid you not. After buying one to try, I promptly bought a whole pack!!!

{he, he! In reading back through the previous paragraph, I sound like an infomercial! Just read through it again…see what I mean :)}

Anywho, I love Gelly Roll gel pens. Plain and simple.
