Weekend Wrap-Up.

I have a post-vacation hangover. I'm too exhausted to clean, so we are still living out of our suitcases. We've been in Idaho visiting J's parents. I'm not sure what it is about that place, but it relaxes us all.  It is so peaceful in the country.

I met Miranda while I was there. We shared trade secrets with each other. She taught me the purl-stitch and I taught her to use Adobe Illustrator. She is just as I imagined her: totally darling!

Cardstock: Neenah, Papertrey Ink, American Crafts; Patterned Paper: American Crafts; Stamps: Papertrey Ink; Punch: Stampin' Up!, We R Memory Keepers; Markers: Copic

All I could get my hung-over brain to do today was craft, so I pulled out my magnificent, new markers. I never grew out of my love to color, and was totally thrilled when I discovered that coloring can be a grown up thing too! Copics are amazing. I am just beginning to use them, but I'm totally hooked on shading and blending.

My sister came over today and we colored and stamped. I think I sold her on copics as well. I overheard her telling her husband that she "needs them."

I made a couple mother's day cards. I copic-ed up that cute Dahlia from Papertrey Ink for my Dahlia-loving mother. Can't wait to send it on.

OH! And all you paper/stamping lovers should stay tuned! I have some giveaways very soon just for you!
