Organizing and Corloring

Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've done anything crafty. I think my crafting mojo has decided to take an early winter vacation. I was able to squeeze out this adorable Grad Anya from The Greeting Farm. It's supposed to be for my graduation party invitations. Obviously, I need to finish the actual invitation part (I know, I'm procrastinating).

Material:

• Copics: E000, E11, E13 (Skin); E41, E42 (Diploma); Y23, YR21, YR24 (Hair); T4, T6, T8, 100 (Graduation Cap and Gown); B24, B26, B28 (Tassel, Shoes, Diploma Band).
• Paper: Bazzill Bling 

Since my crafting mojo has been absent lately, I've been organizing my crafting space. I'm almost done with my ribbon and embellishments area. Finally found all of the metal storage baskets that I need from Michaels (they were clearanced way back in the summer without notice and I needed 3 more). I got everything hung up and all of the flowers, brads, eyelets, buttons, etc. into the jars. I'm still working on the ribbon. I had 4 photo boxes filled with ribbon on chipboard bobbins plus a drawer full of rolls. You never really know just how much ribbon you have until its all out in the open.

Next up is finishing the ribbon and organizing all of my rinestones, wish me luck.

TGF Double-Take Tuesday

I was supposed to be preparing a presentation for class tomorrow, but instead decided to color up Ian for the new Double-Take Tuesday Challenge on The Greeting Farm's Blog. This week is a card sketch. I love this week's challenge, because for me the hardest part about creating cards (and scrapbook pages) is coming up with the layout.

Materials:

• Copics: E0000, E000, E21 (Skin); E25, E27, E29, E49 (Hair, Shoes); B12, B16, B18 (Pants); G12, G03, G19 (Shirt); R43, R46, R59 (Shirt Sleeves).
• Paper: Bazzill Bling, DCWV Christmas Stack w/ Glitter (from 2009 or 2010 I think).

Now back to my presentation so I can get some sleep before it's actually tomorrow.

TGF Farm Fresh Friday

I was supposed to be studying tonight, but I got an idea in my head for this week's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge on The Greeting Farm's blog, and had to run with it. The challenge is buttons and bows. I had a blast using some of my buckets of buttons (I seriously have an embellishment hoarding problem). Flirty Anya just fit perfectly with her polka dot dress and sass. Also, you really can't go wrong with purple.

Materials:

• Copics: E50, E51, E53, E02, E04 (Skin, Mouth); YR2, YR23, YR24 (Hair); V22, V25, V28 (Dress, Shoes, Flower in hair).
• Paper: Core'dinations, Sassafras Las "Life is Beautiful" Collection.

TGF Double-Take Tuesday

I made this adorable little cowgirl for the new Double-Take Tuesday Challenge on The Greeting Farm's Blog. This week was a color challenge using white, grey, yellow, and aqua. I absolutely loved coloring Wild West Anya, not only because I am a country girl myself, but also because the stamp was a birthday present from my friend Aeryn who got me hooked on TGF (and she's on their DT, congrats!).

Materials:

• Copics: E00, E21, E11, E04 (Skin, Mouth); Y21, Y26, YR23 (Hair, Belt Buckle); C1, C3, C5 (Hat, Boots, Belt); BG11, BG45, BG49 (Vest, Skirt).
• Paper: Bazzill Bling, Core'dinations, Bella Blvd Socialite Collection.
