Fun and Mental Changes

I FREAKIN WON!!! I entered All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge (at the last minute I might add) last Tuesday and decided to check in on it this morning as it's going on 1 a.m. and I just can't sleep.... AGAIN! Not really expecting that I won yesterday, I kind of put the whole thing out of my mind taking care of yesterday's to-do list until this morning after hours of tossing and turning. "Huh, I wonder who won yesterday's contest?" Frustration due to no sleep.... GONE! I'm now on cloud 9 and couldn't sleep if I wanted to cuz I just found out that I WON!!! I WON, I WON, I WON!!! It's funny how, given a good reason such as excitement for not being able to sleep, makes not being able to sleep a little more fun.... don't you agree? Thanks again to the ladies at The Paper Vineyard.... you guys sort of made this happen! LOL!

So... here is my entry for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge , Aqua/Chocolate/Kraft. This was a labor of love. I began working on it the other day while hanging out with the ladies at The Paper Vineyard , using it to show some Copic marker techniques. The hair changed at least two times that day... but then, that's the beauty of Copic markers! For this card I used Copic markers BG000, BG0000, BG01, C2, C5, E21, E35, E47, E49, E50, E51, R14, R22, R27, R59, W5, Y21, and the image used is Coffee Kiki La Rue from CC Designs. The same stamp featured HERE . Didn't I say this one was going to be getting a lot of use??? HAHAHAHAHAHA! But I think I like this one best of all.... "Best Friend Joe!" That's just funny!

Problem: After never entering design challenges, I've entered 2 card challenges in the past 2 days! Wow... this is entry number 2! If this is how I am in just two days, then I'm scared!!! This challenge is sponsored by Amy's Paper Romance which is one of the MANY new craft resource sites that I've discovered on Ms. Vicki Garrett's WONDERFUL blog... Summerthyme Studio . You NEED to check her out along with all her incredible resources. But, WHOA MAN! What is this lady doing to me?!? She's got me buying new stamps, buying Copic markers (PULEEZE let them come next week!!! I wanna work with Copics soooo bad!), entering design challenges... yah, that's the story I'm stickin to.... "SHE'S" got me doing it!!! It's a fun adventure, so for now I'm rollin with the inspiration. I needed a little kick in the pants to get moving in my craft closet . And finding new art mediums is JUST what the doctor ordered, so "Thanx" Vicki! I...
