Hello Lovely Ladies I hope your weekend has been fabulous thus far.  It's been sunny here with a cool breeze.  It's been a welcome relief from all the cold and rainy days.   Today I am sharing a card I made in celebration of a one year anniversary for Leigh S-B Designs.  She created this cute cupcake image in celebration as well as for a challenge of sorts.  I created my heart shaped card and used lots of Washi tape to create the background.  I all used white Cardstock borders to help break up the color.  I colored the cupcake and the number ONE with Copic's.  Here's the card I created: Leigh congratulations on your first year anniversary.  I hope you have many more.  Your images are wonderful and fun to color. Thanks for stopping by.  It always makes me smile With hugs and smiles Laine

Hello My Lovelies I hope you have had a glorious day!!  We have been pounded with rain and high winds for almost a week now and it's getting old.  Fortunately today was a little warmer and no rain.  I hope it lasts for a while. Today I am sharing a Design Team project by a new Designer LeAnn Wanier.  She's named Kitty and she is just so cute and so much fun to color.   I decided to use her on a small compositon notebook and so glad I did.  I colored her with Copics and also used so ribbon, small pearls and paper flowers with bling in the middle.  I just think she's adorable and I hope she brings you a smile. I am also leaving the links to LeAnn's new Etsy Shop and Facebook Group and we sure hope you will join in our current challenge.

Hello My Lovelies It seems I am always thrilled for the beginning of a new year. Time to put some things to rest and begin focusing on new dreams and goals.  I love pulling out my new 2018 planner and put it together and then filling up the pages, writing down my new dreams and goals as they pop into my brain.  Helps me stay more focused rather than feeling confused and lost. Plus there are some amazing new planners out there that make it fun and really pretty too.  My temporary move is behind me and hubby and I are feeling more settled.  My bronchitis and pneumonia are finally behind me and I couldn't be happier.  I have decided to post my DT projects not only on my Hugs 4 The Heart Facebook group but coming back to begin posting here again as well. I hope you will come and visit me. I am also on Pinterest, Instagram and on Etsy.  I will be back tomorrow with all the links. My most exciting goal is get set up and doing lots of crafting videos too ...

Happy Tuesday My Dear Friends Today I am sharing another card I made using this adorable new image by Artist Naz Smith owner of Sasayaki Glitter.   This handsome fella is called Painter Duck and from what I can tell already - he's got some artistic talent.    Painter Duck can be found here in the Sasayaki Glitter Etsy Shop: Painter Duck I love how his tongue is sticking out to the side - I think it's because he takes his painting quite seriously.  I often wonder if I am doing the same thing when I am coloring with my Copics.  To be honest - I hope not because I wouldn't look as CUTE as he does. I used the following Copic Colors: BG13, 15, 18 C3, 5, 7 V20, 22, 25, 28 YG21, 23 YR20, 23, 24, 27 I also used a stencil to create the background. I hope he brings you a smile today.
