Week 1 - CHF Coloring 'Results'

Welcome Spring
Supplies:
Spring Trees stamp set - Cornish Heritage Farms
Copics, Stazon
Karen Foster 3D elements (sun and flowers removed!)
Bazzil cardstock
Patterned Paper by FancyPants Designs

Otay.

I did a card for the first week challenge going on at CHF. (See that star over on the left? Click it for more info regarding the 5 weeks worth of challenges!)...

Can't say I am 'thrilled' with the results! I am not good at coloring! I even practiced on several different trees!

But, I tried!!!

********************************

Yesterday, I made a super long post about the past week.. and how I survived! But, since I am running out of time here, I will have to share the photos and deets later... Gater..

The highlights are...
  • I survived!
  • I am now on a multivitamin
  • I colored during my free time (card above)
  • I did two markets during 'all this' (Baker, Boise)
  • My family 'ditched me' on Saturday.. I went to Boise, they went to the rodeo in Haines
  • My family got 'dumped on' during a Thunderstorm while at the rodeo, while I was driving home (just sayin' - a little Karma?)
  • Another storm came through last night
  • Looks like another storm today! (I love storms!)
  • I fell asleep during the backyard firepit and fireworks 4th of July party! Maybe because I woke at 3am and had already a full day????
  • I walked 2 days! (yippee!) No sillies.. Not 2 days straight! I 'went for a short walk' - 2 different days.
  • And, I took the kids to 'our pool' yesterday and had 2 hours of bliss in the sun - with one of my scrappy mags.. Love me some sun and water when its hot hot hot!!!!!
That's a wrap!

Catch you all later!

This week I am working on paper piecing!!! (Week 2 CHF challenge)

In my free time!

I kept looking for your entry over at the challenge and didn't realize you had already posted it and I had commented on it. I was so busy looking at the card I didn't notice it was yours until later. :) Loved your trees! This weeks challenge should be fun. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I am tired just seeing the run down of your weekend. :)

You are always so busy yet you manage to get lovely cards done!!! I need to learn how to do that with my scrappin! :)

Hi, Andi! I love your cheerful card! I love the trees, clouds, sunburst-sunshine, and the lovely grass. I think that the tall stretched font in the sentiment goes really nicely with your tall trees, too! :-)

Andi I love storms too! Mother Nature is so Awesome! I love how you reported that after being ditched karma caught up with the ditchers. I'm just saying....

Karen said...

Andi, you really crack me up! Love the Karma comment!! :>:> I think your coloring came out great! It echoes the little big of patterned paper that its matted on and makes a really happy little scene. :> Keep your head up (how far of a drive is Boise??) and I'm sending you sleep + energy (hopefullly in the daytime) + a sense of humor (which you seem to be in great supply of) + a wonderful B complex vitamin vibes!! :>:>
I've left you an award on my blog. :>
