Dr Digi: Netflix and Chill

Hello crafty friends!!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  Just got back from vacation and I'm exhausted.  Had a family reunion up in the mountains for a couple of days, then headed back to my roots to visit my parents and family.  With 4 hours of sleep, I drove 12 hours back home...now it's today and it's catching up with me.

Caffeinated Craig seemed to be the perfect choice for today's post.  He just wants to watch Netflix and Chill.  Both the image and sentiment is from Dr Digi.  Craig was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Even the pretty backing paper is from Dr Digi called New wave.

Here's the inside.

Mix It Up #4: Peas Forgive Me

Hello crafty friends!  I have 2 posts for today!  It's a brand new month and a new challenge at Mix It Up Challenge Blog.  This month we are looking for projects with "Paper Piecing", which is always fun to do.

I decided to create a very simple card this time.  Using this cute stamp set from Unity stamps called Peas, Peas, Peas, to create this sweet card.   I only had to stamp the image 3 times and piece it together.  I bought this image years ago and I'm finally getting to ink it up.

Here's the inside.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #13: Flower Bag

Hello crafty friends!  I have 2 posts for you today.  This is my Love to Craft! Challenge Blog post to start off a new month.  Right now, I'm traveling home to visit family and enjoying the rest of what's left of summer.

This month I'm sharing a canvas bag that I colored.  As you can see, it's a Kit and Clowder bag that I purchased  (they were sold out super fast too).  Alyce teaches how to take care of your bag and how you can color with markers or color pencils.  I used my trusty Prismacolor pencils to color up the bag.  Afterwards, I set it with an iron and to get rid of the wrinkles from the travel.

Even though it could still fade in time, all I have to do...is color it up again.  I will tell you, it was a different way of coloring to make sure you don't snag the bag.  Learning new things is always good :o)

thanks for looking and reading :o)

I would like to enter my bag in the following challenges:

Dr Digi: Charge

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm here with my Dr Digi post.  I have some friends that can be very wild, childish some may say, but you know what, they are enjoying life to the fullest.  This Dr Digi image, Charge, says it all.

The great sentiment also came from Dr Digi's Funny Sentiment Sheet 1, which is just perfect for this fun image.  Wheel barrels were also so much fun as a kid and so are wagon rides.  Maybe a little fun is what we all need in life.  The image was colored with my trusty Prismacolor pencils.  The backing paper is also from Dr Digi.  The one behind the image was the true color, but for some reason when I printed it again (twice, as you can see in the inside of the card) it came out a different color.  I think my printer is on it's last leg or something.

Spider Maiden

Hello crafty friends!  Just sharing another mythical maiden colored image from Christopher Kerry.

I really love the images from this class and coloring packet, something about mythical creatures that really catches your attention.  I gave her purple tones in her skin, just trying out some new blends. I didn't know what to do with sky at first, but knew it needed more orange, to go with her orange spots.  This was really fun to color and to watch it transform from black and white lines to this.  This image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Creatalicious #119: Summer

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for another challenge at Creatalicious.  We are enjoying some Summer fun and want to see your summery projects.

I created a card using sponsor image Run Derek Run from Dr Digi.  During the summer, so many people start their exercising programs by running outside to finally soak up some of that sun.  Or maybe you are a walker, that needs some sunshine to get away from the kids :o)   I colored this image with my Prismacolor pencils.  A die cut of little houses and a map for Derek to follow to finish up this design.

Dr Digi: Coffee Makes Me Poop

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.

When I saw Dr Digi's new Coffee Sentiments, this one really stuck out!  I couldn't help myself but make a simple goofy card.  I used Photoshop to color the sentiment the colors I wanted.   I found the paper on Etsy, because you have to have some poop paper to go with the sentiment.

Here's the inside.  Maybe this card can bring a smile to someone having a bad day :o)

Mythical Maidens

Hello crafty friends!  It's been awhile since I shared some coloring with you.  Sometimes it's nice just to coloring and not worry about making it into a project.

I love Christopher Kerry's images..the details and unique images he has are my favorites.

How about this female centaur kicking some snake butt?!!   This was the class image for Christopher's online coloring class.  He teaches how to color with a booklet and videos for this image, but then gives you 4 equally beautiful image to perfect the technique on your own (which I will share some later).  Even though Christopher teaches in Copic markers, I colored this image with Prismacolor pencils.  Yup, I prefer the pencil method.

Here's the the link to Christopher's Mythical Maiden coloring pages.  At the end of the month, he makes the class images available for others to purchase who didn't take his class.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
