Lucky me... GDT for 2 FAB challenges!

Edit:  Shared top 3 honors at DYSU Challenge

I've been smiling all week as I've had such a fun time coloring up some Saturated Canary images for my summer GDT duties for that challenge.  I get such enjoyment from working these gals (and guys) into cards.  Don't you?  AND, this week, I'm also honored (and crazy tickled) to be the Guest Designer for CMC Copic Challenge.  You know... with Suzanne Dean!!!  WooHOO.  So... let's get on to it.


Tada!  This sweetie is called Orchard Love and  I just adore her.  As I mentioned above, I've colored her up for my GDT duties (yeah... tough duty!!)as follows:

Saturated Canary Challenge  - black and white plus a splash of one other color

CMC Copic Challenge - anything goes but with a girlie twist

How's that for a couple of "can't wait to get started" challenges you just don't want to pass up?


Even though I've had such fun coloring up images this week, there has been some sadness recently.  Since the last time I posted, my dear, beloved great dane passed away.  Even though it's not him, he looked exactly like the photo I have under the "About Me" banner.  He had a heat stroke and his 9 year old body just couldn't recover from it.  My heart is broken as he was just so fabulous, but having my granddaughter with me has been a huge help as has my crafting.  I'll try to ease my sadness by remembering all the great times we had together... and there were a LOT!  I love you Roscoe and boy... do I miss you!!  Go run on dog heaven's levy like you did when you were younger.

OK... sorry 'bout that but I just needed to say a little good-bye to my sweet boy.  Thanks for being tolerant of that.


This last photo isn't the best, but i think it's fun to see creations from other viewpoints so I decided to go ahead and post it.  I'm also trying the x-large photo choice for my first two pictures.  I'll have to see if I like it or not once it's "goes live".  If you have time, let me know what you think.
