Clean and Simple

Hey everyone!!  It's time for a new challenge today at the Phindy's Place Friday Challenge Blog.  Dang...I can't believe how fast this last week has gone by.  I have been really busy doing online research about dyslexia and the more I read the more certain I am that my oldest granddaughter is dyslexic.  Her Mom and Dad have decided to have her homeschooled and I guess Nana is up to bat!!  :)  I'm excited about it but in the same turn scared as hell!!!!  You know, all the thoughts....will I be able to teach her?  Am I smart enough?  Blah blah blah!!!!  My Mom homeschooled my nephew so she has been my support the last couple of days.  Okay....enough chit chat.  :)

Our challenge this week at Phindy's Place is clean and simple.  Honestly, I'm not much of a clean and simple kind of girl but it is starting to grow on me!!!  I have used this adorable image called "Squeezes" from Phindy's Place.  Here's my card......

So, how's that for clean and simple.  OMG....I didn't even put a flower on it.  STRESS STRESS STRESS!!!!!  I really love how it turned out though.  Doesn't she just make you want to squeeze her!?!  LOL!

Copics Used:
Skin - E00, E11, E13 and R20
Shorts and hat - R20, R22, R24, R27 and R29
Shirt and hat - Y000, Y15, Y17
Kitty - W1 and colorless blender and G00, G03, G07 and R20
Grass - YG63, YG67 and G20

How do people do paper piercing and make it look so good?  Mine never seems to show up when I'm all finished!!  Sheesh!

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward  to seeing what your clean and simple Phindy cards look like.  And remember....if you don't have a Phindy's Place image you can find a ton of really AWESOME ones at the Phindy's Place store or you can always join our Phindy's Place group at Paper Craft Planet and snag you a freebie!! :)  Hope to see you on the Phindy's Place Challenge Blog!!!

Christmas At Phindy's Place

WooHoo...it's time for a new challenge over at Phindy's Place and this week we are going to challenge you to do Christmas in Spring!!!  At first I was thinking, WHAT!?!  But then I remembered that I had ordered this image last year and never did get to use it so that kinda got my mojo flowing a little bit.

Here's my card using Phindy's Deck The Halls image......

I just love this image.  For this card I have colored with my Copics of course and I have also used the new Viva glitter liner.  Wow...I love that thing!!!  I seem to have gotten into distressing this week!  :)  I even just ordered me a new Distrezzer although for this card I just used my scissors!!  Can't wait for it to get here.  I have also used distress ink and my new Viva Pearl pen.  My DP is from Websters Pages and I have made my flower with lace and a pearl brad and then used my MS punch for the branch.  I really love how it turned out!!!

I hope that you will join us at Phindy's Place this week and show us your Christmas Spirit!!!  :)  Make sure you check out what the rest of this fabulous DT has done too!!  WOW WOW WOW!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see you at Phindy's Place!!!
