I already made my husband an anniversary card, but I made this little 3x3 card to tuck in his lunch box or dresser drawer.
I'm looking forward to a beautiful weekend. The weather here is supposed to be perfect. Sunny and warm!

We had a great time at my cousin's wedding this past weekend. It's so nice to see family that I don't get to see that often. Tomorrow we are headed out of the classroom for a field trip. I think I am as excited as the kids for a change of pace and exciting adventure:)
I love trying new techniques. This is a variation on Batik. I tried it with Copic markers and tissue paper and loved the results. When I saw a tutorial using the same technique, but with watercolors I couldn't wait to try it. It creates such a beautiful and soft effect. I'm excited to try this technique with other stamp sets.
Ryan and I will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary at the end of this month. I wanted to make a card using the things that I love, like flowers and birds, but still make it masculine for him. I love how it turned out! 
I stamped YOF Sweet Peas over Text Style and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder to create a resist. I stamped over a scrap of that also, to create the hummingbird. I stamped the green over the resisted area and then rubbed the excess ink off to reveal the text and also part of the sweet pea design.
This is one of my favorite photos. I took this photo in Central Park. I just love the green and orange against the bright white. Vote for your favorite on Kristina's blog.
I made this for Melissa Phillip's photo inspiration. She chooses wonderful photos from A Creative Mint.
Thanks for coming by today, again:)
Heather posted a video a few days ago showing her watercolor technique using pigment inks. I had a chance to try it today. 
It is a fun and easy technique that produces great results. The only problem I had was with the paper warping and curling when it dried. I placed the paper between two towels and ironed it flat. That solved the problem for me.
My cousin just had her baby girl, Madison. I saw these pictures of her nursery and thought Butterfly Dreams would make the prefect card for her.
I can't wait to meet her. Have a great weekend!

I knew that eventually I would need to purchase refills for my Copics. The first to go was my T1. I use that one so much. I found a place online, The Merri Artist, that has just about every color refill and marker. Their prices are really good and their shipping is even better. I purchased my order on Sunday evening and they were here this afternoon.
Refilling was a lot easier than I thought it might be. I watched this video beforehand and it was that easy. As you can see in the picture, one refill hardly made a dent in the bottle.
