If Friends Were Flowers...

Happy Friday,

I have another exciting weekend a head of me.  I'm looking forward to every minute of it.  Connor and I have both been so busy working, we haven't had much time to spend together.  He has been working for Corning Glass for almost 3 years now.  In this time, he has become more interested in the artistic side of glass making.   I love anything that gets the creative juices flowing.     My Christmas gift to Connor this year was enrolling us into a Glass Making Class.   I'm excited that we get to do it together!   Ironically, the class isn't in Corning.  However, it gives us a chance to get out of town...away from work...and spend some time together.    I'll do my best to take photos at our class tonight.

Today's card is all about love!   I love these Heart Flowers.   I'm not sure who makes the flower stamp.  I've had it for years.  The die and sentiment are both from Papertrey.  

Copics used: 

Red: R24, R29, R39

Green: G40, G43, G46

Happy Hour

Hello Friends,

Any hour spent stamping is Happy Hour, right?   These little mice think so!   They look like they are ready to Celebrate!

Happy Crafting,
Chris

Copics used: 

Mice: E000, E00, E30, E31, E33, E35, R00, R11

Glass: C0, C1, C3

Olive: YG01, YG03, YG06, YG09, R24, R29

Blue: B01, B12, B14, B26, B29

This is a lot of blue in a small space. You can see I struggled a little with over-saturation. 

 Take your time.  You can also eliminate B26, and B29 to make it easier. 

Chews You

Happy Monday,

I hope you had a relaxing weekend and were able to get in a little crafting time.   I was in Brockport for the Card Lover's Class.   We had a great time making Valentine's day cards.  I'm so blessed to work with such a talented group of woman.   Thank You all for a great time!!

This year I have been focusing on creating non-traditional Valentine's Cards.  In my Corning class we had a conversation about how we you usually have one true Valentine.  So you only need one real mushy card for that special someone.  The rest of the people we send them too are special people, but we probably don't want to get mushy with all of them.   We just want to send little reminders to our family and friends that we love and appreciate them.   This inspired me to create some Friendly Valentines.
