I am laughing now!!!  So, I purchased this digi so I could play and get back on track!  Must be those summer vacation cobwebs:)  Thanks for stopping by!

Dilsaver Designs Challenge

Hello, I want to first "THANK" Lucianna @ DilsaverDesigns for being so kind.  She created this digi stamp for those of us that wanted to learn how to color using colored pencils.  She taped 4 tutorial videos to walk us through it step by step.  If you would like to learn, stop by her blog and leave her your email address and she will send it to you.  She is a great teacher!!!!

This my first try at doing hair, I think it is ok.  I am giving this to a coworker that has a birthday tomorrow.  This process has made me more comfortable with trying my copics.  So I know what I will be doing this summer:)  Make sure you stop by Dilsaver's blog.  Again, I want to say thanks! I will be linking my digi to a challenge she has going on @ her blog!!!

Good morning, I pray your Sunday is going to be great!  Well, I am nervous about this post because this is my first time doing this technique:)  One of the things I wanted to do this year was to learn how to use copics.  I have started purchasing and practicing:)  I have been watching a lot of tutorials and have found so many great ones on YouTube.  I hope to begin posting some projects with copics real soon!  But in the meantime, I wanted to try digi stamps.  I visit Designed2Delight and they had a challenge.  So, I purchased the digi stamp and pulled out my Crayola Colored Pencils and here is what I got!!!! I am very proud of my first attempt at  digi stamps, but know it will not be my last!  Thanks so much for stopping by and comments are appreciated:)
