Monday, Monday!!

Hello & Happy Monday to ya! Did ya have a good weekend--I sure hope so!! I had a wonderful weekend, the weather was sunny and nice and my mom came to visit (waving "hi" mom)! We went to see "A Chorus Line" and I really enjoyed it--I just love Broadway shows and musicals, wish I could afford to see them every month :o) Yesterday it was in the high 60's and we were able to get outside and go for a long walk with the doggies and eat lunch outside--I just love spring weather. And I'm happy to say that hubby bought me a brand-spankin' new Flash Drive video camer---yahoooo. He even got me a mini tripod for my desk so I was able to shoot 6 videos for ya yesterday! (see below for links)

I am working on some big projects to share with you this week and my BLOG CANDY to celebrate my 1 year Blogaversary coming on Wednesday--you won't want to miss it!

Today my card uses another image from The Greeting Farm's "Miss Anya Collection"--I just love these girls. I paired this one up with some beautiful dp from Basic Grey's "Porcelain" stack, so soft and pretty. I made another hat pin (which I love to do) and added some pink Kaiser pearls to accent. I love how this one turned out! Whatcha' think?


Okay, so I was able to reshoot my Copic videos for you from the left side so you could see my coloring better and zoomed in more too. So make sure and check these out:

This tutorial is just some Copic tips for ya (cardstock, inks, marker info)-

Hello & Happy Weekend! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I had alot going on and just was too tired :o( My mom comes today for a visit & I'm looking forward to a fun weekend--we're going to see "A Chorus Line" in DC tomorrow at the theatre! Hope you have some great plans for your weekend!

I have to say I spent the good part of 2 days shooting video, editing and 'trying' to upload video. I've had more problems uploading video--I hate Windows Movie Maker, took forever and had to do it multiple times--ugh! I'm so disgusted with the whole process, but hopeful to have it all figured out soon. I do have 3 Copic Tutorials for you today--they're actually one long video that I had to break up in order to get them uploaded (don't ask), lol!
**EDITED--these tutorials have been taken off & replaced with new & improved videos--they are on my sidebar!**

This Magnolia image "Tilda w/ Tulips" is from the Easter Collection from Magnolia-licious and is the image I colored in my tutorials. The dp is from DCWV "Latte" stack and the oval flower image is from Alota Rubber Stamps that you can buy here (they come on a sheet of rubber). I also added some diamond stickles to the flowers and the pearls are from Kaiser!

Don't forget to check in on me next week cuz' its my 1 Year Blogaversary and that means some major BLOG CANDY--wahoooo! Have a great weekend & see ya back here tomorrow :o)

hugz,

Suzanne
