LOL! my daughter and two of my nieces in 2002...they have all GROWN! it's crazy sometimes to look back and see the difference between then and now! I used the Basic Grey sketch provided over at Simply Scrapping in their Basic Grey lover's group...fought with this LO for a LOOOONG time! actually...kept moving stuff around and taking pics...so that i could pull it up on my screen and get a slightly different view of it! this is what i ended up with and i'm fairly pleased...if you get past the whole...pepto bismol look! LOLOLOL! Enjoy!

obligatory snow post!

well...here in South Carolina...we too got a taste of this rather odd winter that has been hitting the US pretty hard...now I am not a fan of the white stuff...it's pretty for a few minutes and then I'm like...ok...done...move along...so imagine my thrills when we got several inches last night...again...very pretty to look at...I may have even thrown a snowball or two at my husband...but the truth is...I'm ready for it to be on it's way...you see...today is the Stamp Scrap Art Tour in Columbia, SC.  I've been waiting since the tour last year for it to be back!  Road conditions right now are not the most favorable right now...at least in my neighborhood...I'm hoping the main roads are clear!  Anyways...here is a link to some pics I took this morning...i'm still having issues getting pics to post properly here...so here is the link:

It's a simple card...I fought the urge to really add much of anything to it...I used my copic air brush to color the pearls for a perfect match...and hit the fringe of her dress with some Stickles to make it pop and/or give it an idea or hint of possible beading...well...we'll see how long this addiction lasts...very excited...next weekend I will be at the Stamp Scrap Art Tour here in Columbia, SC!!!!  good chance i'll find some more goodies to feed my scrappy addictions!!! ok...off to color more!

This is another amazing set from The Greeting Farm...I know it's a little on the cheesy side...superheroes done up like Wonder Woman (one of my personal faves) and Superman (eh...ok...)...but it was what instantly popped into mind with these two! This started out as a random coloring practice (yeah...that's Superman #2) and came across this most fabulous card sketch at Friday Sketchers (Sketch #88)...and well...it all just clicked (in my mind at least...a rare occurrence!). So here is my red, white and blue... a little early for July 4th...but you know how it is...gotta get ahead somehow!
