Happy HUMP DAY! :) It cracks me up when I hear this.. why is it just getting so popular to say when we have had Wednesdays since the beginning of time! I think we have anyway.. I wasnt here then.. much to the SHOCK of my kiddos!!  HA HA!! ANYWAY.. Happy Wednesday.. hope your week is going well! I have been taking lots of CREATIVE time .. I need to focus on Halloween treats, but sometimes.. I see something and I get side tracked.. like todays share! :) I am taking the Copics Marker Class For Card Makers! - LOVE!! Learned some FUN tricks!!  Today Jennifer shared a video on using your copics to color your dies so they are multi colored and not just one color like when cut with CS.. oh my.. I am in LOVE!! This took me over an hour to do.. BECAUSE I didnt like my butterflies, so I recut them.. then hand cut just the butterflies, and put them right on top of the orig. and I LOVE how it turned out.. this will have to be hand delivered since I dont want to squish them in the mail!! HA HA!

I LOVE the Memory Box Dies.. so much DETAIL.. I have only 4.. so you know what this means.. YEP I need MORE!! :) can I just blame the class?!! 

I WISH You could see the sparkle .. I used my copics, and spicas   on this. I TRIED to get a photo to show it you can sorta see in the 2nd photo.. IRL the WHOLE die is like that!!! :) Challenges I am entering are listed below!!!

My Card-

 TRYING to show you the sparkle!! IRL it is all SPARKLY!! :)

Before I go.. wanted to share how I will NOW be storing my copics and spicas, and a few other things I use when coloring! :) Went to an auction the other night.. and my FABULOUS Hubby surprised me with the set of baking dishes I wanted, but stopped bidding on since I had out right bought some little crocks I want! WELL little did I know the basket would be PERFECT for my pens! :) He came home and said.. Oh your using the basket! ;) I THINK he was gonna donate it to good will! I LOVE it.. I can take it around the house, and LOOKY room to add MORE copics, my refills fit in there too!! NOW to keep it this organized!! :)
