Thank You and Happy Mother's Day!

So, I just got the Paper Vineyard newsletter and read the AMAZING congratulations message from the owner, Adriana for extending my Copic certification last month!  Here's a link (click HERE), but OF COURSE I'll quote her here cuz it's just that cool: 

"A big congratulations to Danielle who completed her Immediate Copic Instructor certification.  This is a new level/process for Copic certification and we are very proud of Danielle for being one of the first to complete this level.  Danielle teaches the Copic Coloring Palooza and Copic Tech (Alcohol Ink Anonymous) classes each month."

Adriana, THANK YOU for the awesome shout out in your newsletter!!!!  The class was definitely fun and I love being doubly certifiable... uh, I mean "certified"!  LOL!  Anywho, here's the super fun project that I did for May's Copic Palooza at Paper Vineyard.  It features Kraftin Kimmie's Brigitte... a girl enjoying a little relaxation.  PERFECT for the month of May and ESPECIALLY today:  Mother's Day!!!


Come join me May 18th or May 22nd at Paper Vineyard to create this ADORABLE page in our project album (not to worry if you weren't with us for the cover class, we will be repeating the cover class when the rest of the pages are complete), or you can opt to NOT punch your page and use it for a card or layout... the choice is yours.  AND YOU GET THIS AWESOME KRAFTIN KIMMIE STAMP SET TO TAKE HOME FOR FUTURE CREATIONS!!!  Don't you just love it?!?  Be sure to bring your basic scrapper's tool kit with you to class along with your Copic Markers.  Here are the colors I used to create this fun project:  B12, B37, BG0000, BG000, BG01, E02, E08, E49, E59, E00, E000, E11, C0, C2, C4, C7, Y23.  The duckie was cut out on my Cricut using yellow Bazzill cardstock and colored in using
YR23, YR02, YR07 and Y18.  For those "feeling it" the day of the class, we will be "free-form" coloring the little duckie... but it's completely optional!

Ok, that about does it for today.  Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there.  I will be announcing the winner of My Favorite Things Give Away in my next post... stay tuned!!!

Past 7 Days....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
