Better Late than Never!

Wind CaressedYesterday was the best day! I drove just down the street to pick up my new friend Asela to go to A Small Cleverness to shop for stamps, and then to Applebee's for lunch. We had a great time and found that we have so much in common! It is not often that you meet someone and feel that you have been long-time friends, but that was definitely the case yesterday!

The only thing that could possibly have made the day any better would have been if Latisha had been able to go with us...that was the original plan, but she was not feeling well and had to stay home. She was sorely missed, and we all have agreed that we'll just have to make plans to get together again as soon as possible, when Latisha is well enough to get out and enjoy herself!

I bought this stamp (Penny Black's Wind Caressed) with my new Copic markers in mind, and couldn't wait to try my hand at Dawn's LSC challenge. I had to keep the layout very simple because I spent the majority of my 30 minute time-limit coloring. I had to use an SU marker for the stems because so far in Copics I only have yellows, browns, violets, and pinks...but I am pleased with the way my card turned out. I love the little bit of glitz that the gold Spica glitter pen gives the stamen.

I also bought one of Asela's sets, Flowers for Daisy. It was so cool to actually be WITH her and purchase a set she illustrated! I couldn't help but grin! Can't wait to make a card with it! She was a real sweetheart and brought me some stamped images and other goodies too, so I have a head-start on some cards! Thank you, Asela! Can't wait to see you again! {{hugs}}

  8. Deb, I am so glad that you had a wonderful time w/Asela...she seemed to be such a wonderful person when I met her at the copic workshop. Who would have imagined that she just lives a few miles from you. I love your card and you did an awesome job on the coloring as well.
