Holding on to Autumn

In case you don't already know, I love autumn! I know it's already after Thanksgiving and I should move on to Christmas. But I guess I will hold on to autumn for a few days longer :) We still have leaves on the ground. My son, Ty, sure knows where to find joy and how to be thankful for simple pleasure such as a fort of leaves and tire swing! Last of the leaves will probably be bagged up today for pick up tomorrow. Allow me to joy in autumn until the end of November, will you please?

King Ty and his fort complete with a moat!

Ty in his fort all protected and oh, so at home!

This card is another simple card using Copic as colouring medium. Stamp is by CD Stamps.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you find joy everywhere you look today and always! Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Love You ...

... with owl my hoot! Another stamp set by Clear Dollar Stamps. Fun images, aren't they? Lots of masking on this one. Coloured in with Copics, even the blue & gray background. Not so simple but fun card to make :) Hope you like!

Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Best taken With God

Another card using Copic markers. Main image is smArtworks. Sentiment is CD Stamps. Paper used is Neenah-Classic Crest, Solar White, Cover, 80 lb. Marianne Walker, the Copic Lady, told us that this paper works well with Copics. So, I went and got me a ream. I also found that Tim Holtz's Distress ink pad, Black Soot, works great with Copics too! I didn't have to wait like forever for the ink to dry. But I may need to get me a Memento ink specifically for Copics! Anyway, over at Marianne's blog, you will find great tutorials, tips and techniques for using Copics. I learnt a lot from her personally and from her blog! And she is a lot of fun to boot! What a gal!



And here's a close-up, actually, an excuse to play with my newly learnt PSE lesson :)



I'm still trying to decide what I should do tonight. But I'm hearing medium-rare steak calling my name or I might do Thai. Ah, decision, decision ...

Well, Folks, thanks for stopping by today. Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Happy Horse

I have a very dear friend who loves horses. As a matter of fact, she has 2 of her very own. When I saw this stamp, I knew I had to have it. Here's a simple card using Copic Markers.


Oh, did I tell you that I am now a proud Certified Copic Markers user and designer, LOL? Anyway, I've been colouring up a storm. I'm getting the feel of it and loving it! And, did I tell you there is this great big hole in my pocket that can never be patched?

Back to the card, the stamp is from Clear Dollar Stamp. I am also getting used to using clear stamp too. My horizon is branching out. Yeah for me! There is a sentiment on the inside that said, "There's always time to jump in the pile of leaves." by Eureka Stamps. Hope you like my new found skill :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!
