Day thirty one of the 30 day coloring challenge has arrived. I set aside this farm scene to color. I found the perfect sentiment to add to it that aligns perfectly as if it is part of the stamp itself. I stamped this at a crop. I am not sure the brand or name of it. 

Copic Sketch markers used on this project:

R35, R37, R39

N1, N2, N4, N5

E34, E35, E37

Day thirty of the 30 day coloring challenge. Now my question is since there are thirty one days this month, Am I done? or does it last the entire month. I guess I will find out tomorrow!

For today I saw an interesting challenge involving smooshing. Their links go to YouTube videos which I cannot watch as I am on very strict data limitations, so I looked up an HTML tutorial to use, it...

Day twenty nine of the 30 day coloring challenge is HERE. I am oh so close! After yesterday's long practice project I chose a flower that is not a weed, at least to me it isn't. I've wanted to use Copic markers on kraft cardstock for some time. I decided today was the day. I also wanted to practice making correct water droplets. I did NOT stencil and I may add some stenciling after the fact,...

Day twenty eight of the 30 day coloring challenge and I completely changed gears. I just got some new stamps and I had to use them, right. now. today. This card ended up alot of work. It has so many errors. Where to start. First off being a horse person I have spent countless hours whacking down thistles in the pasture to save me spending hours getting burrs out of manes and tails. I did not...

Day twenty seven of the 30 day coloring challenge and day four of our slow travel journey. We've had a little issue with OneDrive and Windows 10 automagically eating up our data... ACK! finally got that figured out and Verizon gave us some extra data and a two month promo to help us get our sea legs. Today I was still in the mood for more blueprints stamps. I chose the seashell. I stamped it...

Our first days have been spent getting ourselves organized. We have experienced some unforeseen issues with using our broadband data. 1. Steam is a gaming platform that rocks, but it also auto-updates in the background and 2. OneDrive is the devil! I only sync a few folders but made the mistake of switching to DHs login and voila - 2 gig eaten up in short order before I realized that his...

Day twenty six of the 30 day coloring challenge has me continuing to play with Holtz blueprints stamps. Today's project is a stretch, and it might end up for me, but I can think of a couple of friends who would appreciate it. I used my MISTI mini to repeatedly stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the crayon blueprint stamp and popped it up for dimension. The phrase was colored with...

Day twenty fiveof the 30 day challenge and I am still hanging in the fight! I visited my old reining horse, she was my Rookie horse and we achieved great things together. She is retired now at 17, still looks awesome. Her owner does still compete in an event called Ranch Riding that is not so hard physically on an older horse. 

Today's project is a Holtz Blueprint. During the hunt for...

We finally saw a window of opportunity to leave on Thursday 3/23. It was the ONLY low rain % in the forecast, and it was 20% at that. But we figured we were ready enough. Even though this felt like prepping for a long vacation, it wasn't. We were prepping to bring all of our responsibilities and lives with us on this journey so the packing was somewhat different.

We left some of our...

Day twenty four sees me in a strange frame of mind. So I dug through my stamps for the strangest stamp I could find that would be something different to color. I chose a Holtz stamp. It is quite large so ends up a 6" square card. I am familiar with such contraptions, but did not know what to call it so I put my husband on task to figure out its name. 

According to Wikipaedia  it is: An...
