Fairy Thinking

Hi everyone.

   Today I have a card to share with you using on of Robin Pushay's images called "Fairy Thinking".

This post will be short as my daughter just got home from Florida and she is all excited to tell me about her vacation and then I still have so much to finish in the house before I can get in bed. 

I have a very early day tomorrow at work.

I colored the image with copics.  I know I am still so far behind on my blog visit.  Here lately I am in a last minute rush just to try to get my DT creations done.  The kids go back to school next Wednesday so we will be shopping all day Saturday to get their stuff for school, supplies, clothes and shoes.

Well I am off hope to visit soon and thanks for all your visit and comments.

Saturated Canary Challenges Black, White plus one color

He everyone.  Today we have a new Saturated Canary Challenge.

This weeks challenge is

Black, White plus one color

I just had to use this new image since I just finished reading The Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogies. I used this new image by Krista Smith from Saturated Canary called "Grey Tie"

I decided to create this card for my husband, even though it's so girly with all the pink, lace and frills.

Hey, but it's suppose to be a sexy card anyway so I think it works great.

Here is a close up of the image colored with warm and color grays and just a little added pink to her cheeks, lips and string panties. (colored with copics)

The sentiments were computer generated. I used some DCWV paper, Spellbinder Labels Die, Bling flourish,

Wild Orchid Crafts roses, Sizzix Alterations Heart Die, the little silver heart lock is a button that I cut he back off of.

I used some distressing inks and the lace and mesh stuff is from Webster's Pages.

Go HERE to see the rest of the DT's creations this week.

Copic Marker Europe and Saturated Canary

Here is the second image I created to celebrate with Copic Marker Europe's 1st birthday.

I used this sweet image by Krista Smith at Saturated Canary. 

This image reminds me of me as I take my markers everywhere with me, even to work so I can color on my breaks.

Here is the card I created with it.

I am sorry I have still not made my rounds.  This week has been terrible, with me having massive headaches this week and then my youngest has swimmers ear.  She has been crying with it off and on for the past 2 days and today was the worst. I took her to the dr. today to get ear drops to help with the infection and pain.  She has finally falling asleep. Last night was rough as she didn't sleep hardly any.  Her ear hurt her too bad to get comfortable enough to fall asleep.

Well I am off as I have to get ready for bed.  I have to work in the morning.

I don't know if any of you have read the 3 Fifty Shades of Grey books, but I just finished them, all 3 of them.  I started them last Wednesday and finished the 3rd one on Sunday.  Once I started them I couldn't put them down. I have to admit they are some of my favorite books and the best ones I have read in awhile. Maybe not for everyone as they are erotic romance books. If anyone has read them, what did you think of them? Just curious what everyone else thinks about them.

I just started reading the first of 3 of The Hunger Games today while we were waiting in the doctor's office. It's going to take me a lot longer to read these as I just have so much going on and can't find enough time to comment to reading them right now.

Have a wonderful night/day.

Here is my new room addition

We finally finished the New addition this past Saturday.  I am so glad to have it done.  Here are some pics of the new room before we started moving Destiny's stuff in there.

We did all the inside work ourselves.  We had the framing, and Vinyl on the outside done by someone else.  We put in all the insulation , the drywall, finished all the drywall, installed the Laminate wood flooring, painted and added all the molding.

I did all the drywall mud and sanding, added the bead board paneling and all the trim.  My husband helped with the baseboard molding but the rest I did myself. he did have to help me hold up the crown molding while I nailed it in place as they were 10 ft long and I couldn't hold it up and nail at the same time.
My husband put in the ceiling fan, which I love.  He also went up into the attic and added all the insulation.
I put 2 coats of High Gloss Ultra white paint to all the molding, Bead Board, closet doors and the French doors,

Here's pic's of the closet.

We only added a small hanging bar  and the rest are shelves.

Here is the piece of carpet that I bought to make a huge rug out of( it's 12x8 ft).

We also added drywall mud to the ceiling to added decoration and try to hide the Plywood ceiling so we wouldn't have to add drywall and fight to get it mudded and sanded.

Well now you can see why I have been so MIA here over the past 2 months.

One day this will be my craftroom, but until then it is Destiny's new bedroom. I painted my son Bailey's new room( his sister's old room) Sunday and he moved his stuff in on Monday night.  All I have left to do is paint Jazmine's room and the hallway, then I need to clean my carpets with all the traffic in and out over the past 2 months the kids have made the carpets so dirty.

Well I hope you like the new room.  I love it and I think I love it more because we did all the work ourselves.

Hugs:)

Play me some music with Saturated Canary

I know I have been MIA for what feels like forever now.  My new room is almost finished.  I will show you pics when I it is done.  In the process of doing the new room I have messed up my right hand to the point where I couldn't even hold a pencil much less my copics to color.  It is still sore but I finally have use of it.

I hope to get back to my normal creating self by the next few weeks.  Tonight I added some crown molding to the room and we still like adding the selves in the closest and the closet doors.  Then I can add another coat of paint to all my baseboards and moldings then it will be time for Destiny to move her stuff in it and then I can start painting the other 2 bedrooms for the kids.

Well today I have a card to share with you that I created for our new Challenge over at

 Saturated Canary Challenges.

This weeks challenge is 

Anything Goes

I decided to pull out my kraft paper and Prismacoloring pencils for this one.

I used some Bo Bunny paper, flourish dies, felt flowers, brads and some ribbon.

Hopefully you will get a chance to play along with us this week.

I hope that I will soon be able to start getting on the computer again and have some relaxing time as I haven't had any in the past 2 months and I so need it and for my house to get back to normal.
I miss all of you and hope to visit as soon as I can.
Sending each one of you HUGE HUGS!!!
