Christmas Blessings

Well I just discovered I am late on this sketch challenge as it was last week's sketch for Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge 103.  Oooh, I can't wait to be done my course so that I can focus on other things.  I finished this card just to get away from the books as I couldn't find what I was looking for as a quote for my essay.  Argghhh!!

Oh well I am not too late for the Copic Color Challenge 56, Simon Says Stamp Challenge - splash of green (my card doesn't really follow the St. Patrick's Day part but it is green) and   Susie & Vikki's Christmas Card Challenge 8 - presents and gifts, which I really had to scramble through my stamp stuff to find.  I used stamps images and present eyelets to complete this challenge.

Screams Easter to Me!!

This card was created to qualify for Doodle Dragon Studio 4 Challenge - girly dragons, I chose a yellow dragon as I saw so many pink samples and wanted to do something different.  That and I have had enough pink for a while with Valentine's just ending.  When I colored this cutie, it made me think of an old cartoon I used to watch with my girls, Dragon Tales, and it made me wonder why I felt I had to color the dragons green as they certainly were every color on that show.  I also used the sketch from Delightful Sketches for this card and the color combo from Copic Color Challenge 53.  Back to bright colors!!

New Friend MM120, CBC24, CCT94 & CCC46 Challenges

This card is to be for my entries in the Mojo Monday 120 Sketch Challenge, Copic Buzz Challenge 24, Cute Card Thursday 94 and the Copic Color Challenge 46.

This card is nothing close to my norm, I really stretched outside the box. I have difficulty using much patterned paper although I love to see it on other people's cards, I struggle in putting it together myself. On this card, there are 4 different types of patterned paper.

Secondly, anyone who has seen much of my work knows that I love working with bold, bright, rich colors while this card is soft and demure. I hope everyone likes this attempt.
