Colored pencil twofer

Happy Easter Monday all!! Hope you all had a blessed and sweet Easter holiday. Mine was very low key. The holidays are done for a while, so I can get back into my routine.  I love routine!

This week's challenge at Inky Paws is sometinh completely different! We are hosting a colored pencil challenge. Now that's a challenge for this girl! I only use copics for coloring. But Haven't I always said that's why it's a challenge!

I do not have a full set of any colored pencils, so I was off to my bestie who has a number of colored pencil sets.  For today's card I used her Inktense pencils. I had heard they work well on dark paper.

They worked like a charm on the floral fringe stamp set from Newton's Nook. Newton has the best new die set that I used for my card today.

I had such fun with thisstamp set and the colored pencils that I decided to try it on kraft paper.

I will let you decide if the Inktense work well on kraft also.

Head on over to Inky Paws and join in our new colored pencil challenge. We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog.

The deadline to enter today's challenge is this Friday, May 3, 2019 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at Inky Paws.

You are my Sunshine

This is my last day of vacation, boooo hooooo...... I could so be a stay at home girl. I wouldn't get bored ever!!!

Saturday several of us took a road trip to Allentown for the Heirloom Rubber Stamp Convention. I have been attending this convention for at least 10 years or more. Sadly each year he becomes a little bit smaller. While it there was at least 2 less vendors then last year, a big discovery for me was Sweet and Sassy Stamps. What fun images and great samples. 

Plus a FREE make and take. Nothing ticks me off more then a make and take that you have to pay for. The whole point of a make and take is to sell product not to sell the sample. If you have to charge for a make and take it probably is to complicated. I did the SAS make and take and yes I did buy the stamp set!

The card today features the stamp set from Sweet and Sassy, Happy Place. I am entering this in the sketch challenge at the Sweet Stop blog.

This card makes me happy! It makes me smile! It makes me feel springy!

Have a great day!
