Sunflowers

I'm so excited to share with you this simple drawing with Copic markers that my 13 year old son did on a whim.  I was coloring and experimenting and he pulled up a chair and proceeded to draw this!  Kids are so uninhibited and just go with the flow.  I love how it looks like watercolors with shading.  I scanned his flower for him and put it on this blue background in Photoshop.  I can't wait until we get to do more coloring projects!

The Daily Marker Pop Up Challenge Day 1

I'm really new to using Copic Markers, but I thought I would go out of my comfort zone for The Daily Marker Pop Up Challenge Day 1.  The challenge was to use a Sharpie to draw any sort of line and then add the "eyelashes" was optional.  Thanks for stopping by!

The Daily Marker Pop up Challenge

Kathy Rac has a fun Pop up Challenge coming soon on her blog, The Daily Marker. I'm going to participate and hope you'll join me!

Christmas Project for Mom

Roger had the great idea of making our Mom this journal inspiration jar. We decorated the jar with scrapbook supplies and put about 100 journaling prompts in the jar. She was thrilled to open this and a little teary eyed too! We had our Christmas with my family this past weekend!

Happy Easter!

What I've done on our spring break!

Well we've had fairly cold and rainy weather here, but we've been busy going to see some new movies,spring cleaning, playing, celebrating Alysa's 7th birthday and crafting. Alysa has been painting, gluing and glittering. Brenden has been gaming, watching March Madness and playing basketball when there is any glimpse of sunshine. I've been making my "SheArt" girls and wedding shower invitations! Check it out!

This is my first "She Art" creation after taking the best online class from Christy Tomlinson at Scarlet Lime. It is a mixed media art class that is full of fun ideas for making these gorgeous girls! If you have time, you really should take the class!

This little beauty is another "She Art" girl I made this week. I made this for Alysa and I tried to make it look like her! It says "Oh, the places you'll go!" I got the idea for this one from a fellow classmate in the "She Art" class!

This is the wedding shower invitaton that my sister and I have been working on this week for our cousin. It turned out so cute, we hope she likes it. The first photo is the front of the card and the gorgeous flower is actually a bracelet that my talented sister made this week! I hope she makes me one soon..ha ha hint hint! The second photo is a peek of the inside of the invitation.
Thanks for stopping by and peeking into my world this week.
