Hey ya'll, how ya doing? It's been a rainy Thursday today, and I've been in a little bit of a funk. I had a meeting planned with some friends/coworkers to work on stamp creations :) That always makes my day better! I expressed my hum-ho mood and like any good friend,  they told me to just start coloring.

What a great idea!!  You know what I mean? Some days you just need to let your brain, body, spirit rest and get back to a good place. I have loved to color since I can remember. and I LOVE color in general. You hang around here long and you'll get the "I LOVE COLORS" vibe! It's so relaxing to me. I realize that it might not be everyones favorite activity, and so I decided to make my coloring productive by sharing some tips on using each of the different products, and how to get the best results with each! These pens and pencils are some of my favorite! 

Over the next few days, I'll post quick tip videos for each method. I took virtually the same image (DSP Just Cdd Color Specialty Paper) and use three different coloring mediums. Blenders, alcohol markers (these are ONLY available if you sign up to become a demonstrator and order before October 10th). Watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen, which was added to the SU! product line in Spring last year. AND finally,  the Stampin' Write Stampin' markers, which are watercolor markers. Each have their own benefits, and techniques. Like I said, I love all three, but for different reasons and effects. Here are the pictures:

If you are like me, you enjoy a good cuppa joe, and by joe I mean strong, delicious, aromatic coffee or espresso! Yummo!!!! Now I have those friends who can't stand the stuff, so if that's you, just replace coffee with your favorite beverage. I won't look, or cry. ;) I want to share with you today, a great stamp set that happens to be ON SALE right now through October 10th. It's the Coffee Café set. It also comes in a bundle and has a coordinating Holiday set in the Holiday Catalog. I LOVE it SO much! Take a look at the cute paper too!

The cat punch will make you, meow-meow, want a new kitty, MEOW! And look whoooo's just hanging out on the spooky tree branch. I love owls! The lamp posts and the headstones get a creepy vibe by using the Many Marvelous markers. Look for a quick tutorial on theWonderBasment FB page, tomorrow (October 2, 2017) on how to achieve the night time atmosphere. It's quick, easy and you won't believe how I did it.

This is an up close view, just add adhesive on either side of the candy & adhere the punched kitties. Easiest, cutest, quickest treat ever made! Thanks to my friend & sistah demo. Susan M. Smith for sharing it with me!
