Recipe book ~ another page

OH I am so happy with this page.  I am putting a page in front of each of the tabs in the recipe book.  This one is in front of the cakes/desserts page.  Fitting isn't it.  Here ya go Jordan this is another peak at your recipe book.  YUP.  Been working really hard on it so you can have it for your graduation in June.  He will be graduating from the Art Institute in Schaumburg and will have a bachelors in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics.  Oh how exciting.  Well onto the picture.

Funny how I colored the image and then decided to use papers to bring the cupcake paper color out.  So I picked orange and yellow (muted ones).  Then went through my paperpack and found this wonderful orange and yellow heart papers.  It just all fell together wonderfully.  Whatcha think?

My first attempt at this image. More muted colors.  But it came out cute.

This is not finished but I used brighter colors and this is my second try at this image.

MORE and MORE COLORING!!!!! ~ been busy.

 Okay now see what I spend my time on. LOL besides cleaning all the time.  I color color color.  I am trying to figure shadows out.  I am getting it on some images and others I totally miss it and after posting these images I see some shadows that are needed in some places.  I had so much fun coloring but sometimes I open my colored pencil tin and look at the 132 prisma pencil colors and wonder which ones to use.  (I also have a small set (36) of Martha Stewart pencils which also work well with Gamsol mineral spirits).  On top of that Prisma just came out with 18 more colors making their new tins 150 pencils.  Gotta get them.  More to work with.  YAY.  I really enjoy seeing everyones copic coloring and jealous cause I can't figure those out very well.  Oh well someday.  I have a friend "Denice" who is just awesome with her copics.  She has to teach me KK Denice.  LOL.  Anyways let me know what ya think..

OKAY heres the Card

I worked all day picked up paper, put down paper, cut paper, picked up another paper, cut paper,  put other paper away.  This went on for an hour.  Then the embossing folder that was a tad bit easier.  Played with some ink before actually putting it on the card embossing flower.  Finally picked out another paper or two and finally chose one.  I had cut many papers.  LOL.  then going through all my drawers and pulling things out to add.  Figure couldn't have too much so pulled out a lot.  That sure makes it hard to decide what to finish with.  Anyways added iroc gems and that was probably the easiest part.  Added 4 green sparkle (glitter) gems.  I luv my iroc.  Anyways  Here is the final Card.  WOW I am so impressed at all those people who pump out a few cards in one day.  One was a forever task for me.   The coloring is easy and the card is hard.  What do you think????
I entered this card in the Flutterby Wednesday #187 Card Challenge ~ embossing and Butterfly, fairy or angel. Challenge 147 ~ Anything Goes

an image for a card

Here is my newest coloring.  Now to make a card.  OMG this will be my very first ever created outta my head card.  I have always had a pattern.  Here it goes.

MORE COLORING!!!

What to do. What to do.   Coloring is the easier part of the whole card process.  I luv to color and play with my images and pencils (and gamsol).  The hard part is figuring out what I want to do with my colorings.  You wouldn't beleive it but I have a zip lock baggy full of coloring.  LOL.  I am finding some use for some of them but I just keep coloring.  So here are a couple of my colorings.  Let me know what you think.

She reminds me of Joes Niece.  Such an innocent face.  CUTE.  luv this stamp.

I am not totally done with her I just noticed I didn't finish her shoes LOL.  and I didn't stickle her wings or her white part of her dress.  Gotta go back and do that now. 

Saturday All Day Crop ~ YAY!!

Okay I finally figured out what kind of card to make out of Edwin.  YAY I really like this layout.  Came out half way decent. 

Here is a little tiny notebook I bought from walmart.  Joe needs to keep notes for work so I decided to take the Magnolia Monkey (I have colored about 5 of them) and some paper I spray with ink spray (blues and greens) and used Velveteen paper inside the cover.   Joe luvs monkeys so this was perfect.  Came out really cute.  Joe luved it.  Took it already to put in his pocket for his notes. YAY.

Sorry : - (   I little blury.

 Also at this same crop the main reason for going was to finally get started on my sons recipe book.  He lives so far away and if I can explain recipes to him on paper he might have a fighting chance at hunger.  LOL.  At least he can get away from macaroni and cheese.  I have a funny story.  I sent him hamburger helper cause I figured he would at least have food all day out of one box.  He called me and asked what he needed.  Went to the store got the hamburger.  When he called me he asked how much does he need to cook.  I said the whole pound.  HE SAID WHAT.  that is a lot and it was expensive.  LOL.  I said it makes a lot and you can store the rest and reheat it and have food for more than one sitting.  he said OH.  so now he knows how to make hamburger helper with a whole pound of hamburger.  LOL.  Silly boy.

EDWIN with STOLEN HEART... Awww hes my fav.

Oh do I luv Edwin with Stolen Heart.  I am going to plan my card for this image.  I just luv coloring.  I was so undecided what colors to use on him.  My son likes blue but I like green.  So I started out coloring him with blue every other stripe and then picked out another blue to do the other stripes and just couldn't color or pick that other blue.  Then I seen that green just sitting there and I figured why not.  I used stickles on his heart.  I luv stickles.  Enjoy...

Another pages without pictures class

Thanks Charlotte for another wonderful class.  You are so good with your colors.  I LUV THESE.  I just had to bring some pics to add to my pages.  I gotta go find some more pics to add to these pages but will post them first.  YAY.
