CASING Myself!
It’s Saturday and I’ve done nothing but putter around in the studio, color some images, and doodle on my scrap pads – oh I so love being lazy. Actually, I got a bug late yesterday afternoon that I needed to do a little reorganizing again. Darn these kids of mine! One of them really needs to move out, because I NEED a bigger stamping area. I have no room to add one more thing, and I so needed to get some stamps stored away. Then because I moved an old multimedia tower that I store unmounted and backgrounds in, I just had to go through some piles of paper, catalogs and magazines. In the process of going through those papers, and finding them a home, I needed to tackle one of the cabinets in the laundry room. There I have stored old SU catalogues, Cuttlebug accessories, and now my new Bind-It-All stuff. Yes, I said stuff because that is what I’m doing, stuffing it in any open spot I can find. Who knew when I built this addition to the house a few years ago that it wasn’t large enough? Well, everyone but me actually! As I wait patiently for my oldest daughter to move into her first apartment (and who knows when that’s going to be), I have resolved to myself that I cannot purchase another thing . . . . maybe.
Once again, I was up late last night and couldn’t sleep. I don’t know if it was the nap or the coffee I had after dinner, but I was wide awake and did some coloring. A few days ago someone commented on an old card in my SCS Gallery. I went and dug it up so I could show you:
I’ve only made two cards with Thoroughly Thankful, and I was happy when it made the big catalog. Last night I was playing around with my Copic markers and different techniques for shading, and thought that it would be fun to CASE myself. I have never taken an old card from gallery and intentionally made another one just for the sake of remaking the card. Here you have it, a CASE of myself!!!
Stamps: Thoroughly Thankful and Flannel Plaid
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Old Olive Chocolate Chip
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Old Olive, Tim Holtz Ranger Old Paper Distress Ink
Accessories: Copic Markers, May Arts Ribbon, Brads, Dauber, Scissors and Sanding Block for distressing, Mounting Tape
The image was colored with Copic Markers. I stamped the image twice, and colored the pumpkins, cut out 2 of them and mounted them on top of the image with mounting tape. The photo corner is also raised on mounting tape.
Are you loving those Copics, or what! Fabulous!!

ROTFL!!! Wish I had some cute smilies…:)
Love this card you made, it is beautiful and the image you stamped and colored in looks crisp :)! Great job :)!
I love both versions! Very pretty fall cards. Good luck on your “stuffing” – I think we have all been there – LOL! Cannot purchase another thing, huh? Let me konw how that works out for you, I have been telling myself that for years *grin*
*STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Sherry, this one’s great too–I *love* it colored with the Copics!
Beautiful! Love those Copics, you did a wonderful job with them. I have been using Prismacolor markers, but tried a couple copics and just ordered a few more. I THINK I’m getting better at the whole blending/shading thing. They are fun.
These are both gorgeous!!
However, you should be ashamed of yourslef for “puttering” instead of playing VSN with us…;)
Your older card is so lovely…but the Copics really make a difference, don’t they? Awesome, Sherry!
The first card is lovely, but the Copic-colored one is so fresh and crisp — perfect with the autumnal images! I love, love, love it!
