I Found Another "Published" Card I haven't Shared Yet! LOL!

Hi again everyone!
This is my second post for the day so please scroll down to see my layout.  ;)

Usually, when you have a project in a book or magazine, they would like you to wait awhile to post them on our blogs. Of course the September issue of CardMaker was a little different for me because I was the "Featured Designer" and they also featured me for several weeks on their Facebook page and asked me to show the cards form that issue. It's a good thing because I won't forget them like I did this card! LOL!  ;)
I was looking though all of my Basic Grey cards and came across it. I used their Granola stack which is an oldie but goody.  It was new when I made this card! LOL!
BTW...when I went looking for the link to Granola, I found they still have some in stock and it is on a mega clearance! The 12x12 paper pad was $20.00 and is on sale for just $5.00! Wow! That's crazy cheap!

My card was published in the "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" book by DRG Publishing along with 4 others I created. It can be found on page 31. ;)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Sharing Another of My Cards From The "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" Book

Hi Everyone!
It's been almost a year since I was involved with the amazing Annie's Attic book called "Coloring Techniques for Card Making" and I have yet to share all of my cards that were in it! We were asked to wait 6 months before sharing on our blogs but I kind of forgot so here is another. I will post the remaining cards very soon, so keep checking back! :)
This card is titled "We Heard The Buzz!" (because of the sentiment on the inside) and can be found on page 38 of the book. 


I would love to share the card recipe with you but you will have to check it out in the book.  ;)
It is available online or paperback.


Thanks and hugs!

Coloring Fur With Colored Pencils Tutorial

Hi Everyone!
I got several comments and some emails about how I colored this card that I posted the other day.


I created a video to show you how to get this effect with colored pencils and OMS.

I started with my newest digi stamp set "Purrfect Day", that is available now @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $2.50 for an instant download.

And....here is the video. Hope you like! :)


Thanks so much for dropping by. I would love to know if you found this tutorial helpful and if you would like more.

Hugs,
True :D

And the winner of the coloring book is.....

Hi All!
I wish everyone could win because I am so thankful to have crafty friends who care enough to take the time to leave sweet comments on my blog. Comments after all are one of the reasons I post. If no one was interested...there would be no point.
I did have to narrow it down to one winner though and that lucky person is....

"Trudy, what an absolutely lovely card!!! Your coloring of the image is perfect and so beautiful!! Love all of the details you have added!!! Sending a big hug your way...Jacque"

It must have been karma that made me draw Jacquie's name. She is such a giving person. There is almost always a super sweet blog candy going on her blog. You really should check it out.

Thanks again everyone!

Big hugs,
