Monday Greetings - Family Gathering - GCC111416

Hello Crafty Peeps,

I have not been blogging in awhile and I do have to apologize for that.
I will start with the Monday Greetings after the last one.

Family Gathering was the theme for this weeks challenge. Since my boys recently got their room redone I bought them a playstation 3 console and we redid the cozy corner to a gaming corner with tv and their playstation. I thought of me playing with my boys while coloring this image. Since my oldest turned 10th it was the best card to give him.
Sponsor for this week: Dr Digi's and the image is called Player Two

Until next time....................... craft on.

Monday Greetings Challenge - Use more than 2 layers - GCC101716

Hello my Crafty Peeps,

Wow, I can't believe it is already Monday again. I have gotten more energy after I have visit another Dr and getting a second opinion. Thank God for doing that. Instead off increasing on depressive medicine he ordered me to increase my medicine for my Thyroid. Just the day after I had more energy and more and more has come for each day. Having problems with your thyroid is not an easy thing, but I am glad I went and got a second opinion.

Anyways, lets go on with this weeks challenge. For this week the theme is Use more than 2 layers, here you can really get creative and find your mojo in doing cards that you have been wanting to do. Is it to start with more Christmas card, or Birthday cards?? What ever it is it's a great opportunity to do that this week and enter Monday Greetings at the same time.

This weeks sponsors are: Angies Cards and Digis and also Creative Bug and each of them are having fabulous prices to the winner.
For the Angies Cards and Digis I choose to use: Daisy May Pumpkin Carving and the background paper I used on this card is actually one of my DTs own work. If you want to download her digital paper as a Freebie visit Pat Matins blog and show her some love when you get this lovely paper.
For the Creative Bug I choose to use: Mrs. Sunshine. The latter I chose to use Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for.

I have been wanting to try out real pencil markers as an addition to my Promarker pens. I finally got a really good deal off of Ebay and so I ordered them and have had them in the box for weeks now. I have been scared to even try them on. I wanted to try how they felt to color with since I know a lot of people using them and their work is magnificent. So, I decided that I would try one of the image for this weeks challenge, and I got pretty satisfied on how it turned out when it was done.

I would love to hear what you think of my first time ever coloring with Faber Castell's Polychromos, so please show me some love and let me know your thoughts.

Anyways, I will leave you with this weeks cards that I have done.... and as always........ Craft on!!

Monday Greetings Challenge - Anythings Goes - GCC092616

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Hope you are all doing very well. I am doing ok, but I wish I had more energy. Lately I have been really tired and went to see a doctor and took some blood work, that came back normal. I guess I have just overworked my body and that it tells me to slow down. I guess it will be back in normal soon (I hope so at least)

This week over at the Outlawz it's the Anything Goes since it's the last week of the month. Our sponsor for this week is QKR Stampede and I choose the "One Year Older" image. I thought it was a fun image and so right to give as a birthday card.

I will keep this entry short and let you enjoy my card instead. Hope to see your creations for this weeks challenge at the Monday Greetings Challenge - Anything Goes.

Until next time, ...................... Craft on !!!!!
