Mushroom Snail YouTube Video Tutorial by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I made this card months ago and never got around to posting it.  I already posted a card featuring the same image but with a brown mushroom.  This time, I coloured the mushroom red.  

You can learn how to draw this super sweet image by following Conie Fong's YouTube video tutorial, along with other truly adorable simple images.  Conie converted this image into JPEG format for the Design Team members to colour so that you can see how versatile and adorable this image is.  I used Copic markers to colour it.  The corners are by QuicKutz dies.



If you decide to draw this image yourself, you can then post it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.


Conie also has another Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  You will find some lovely inspiration there by the other Design Team members, and other crafters who love Conie's images.

That's all for this post.  I wish you a happy holiday.  Hugs, Lori xx

Newton Graduates by Newton's Nook Designs

Hi friends!  My older son graduates this Saturday with his second baccalaureate degree and so I created this card for him.  Needless to say, I am so proud of him!

I coloured this cutie with Copic markers. I found the balloons clipart on the Internet, drew the strings, and added the year. Finally, I added a cute bow die cut, and voila!

Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  Halloween is almost upon us and that always makes me smile because I have such cherished memories of my children wearing their Halloween costumes (which I made) when they were young.  They are adults now but I still send them Halloween cards and a special treat!  

I made this card some time ago and never posted it, so here it is.  It features the adorable Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings.


I used Copic markers to colour this super cute image.  The flower is handmade and also coloured with Copics.  The stamens were originally white but I coloured them with my trusty Copics.

That's all from me for this post.  Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Pixie by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hey there, friends!  Summer began in my neck of the woods yesterday.  I have to say that summer is my least favourite season.  Too hot and humid, and way too many bugs.  However, I do love that the days are longer.

Challenge #517 starts today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is THINGS WITH WINGS.  What a versatile theme, right?  I chose the darling Pixie image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  She is so very sweet!


This card is smaller than the standard slimline cards.  It measures 3.5" x 6.25.  I followed an awesome video tutorial by Karen Aicken.  Her video shows you how to use 6" x 6" papers to create mini slimline cards.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FPXyyvWzig  

Here is a side view:  

This cutie is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I applied Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink) to the butterflies' bodies, and Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings.

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other Design Team members, see here.  And, if you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images.

Thank you for visiting.  It always brightens my day.  Hugs, Lori xx
