Today was ....

... one of those magical days when I got to spend all day playing in my room. I had plans of getting sooo many things done, but I realize that I work very slowly ... but I enjoy every moment along the way. When I'm working in my room, I'm playing with colors, and digging for embellishments, and staring and looking and searching ... but to me thats all part of the fun and creation.

I managed to get five cards done today .... and I enjoyed every minute!!

All the cards have images on them colored with Copics, lots of Spica glitter, and touches of black soot distress ink.

The design of one of the cards came from this layout that Terri made for me after her last visit to Phoenix. She's great at layers and layers and layers ... and as I was admiring this today .... while I was staring and looking and searching ..... I decided to borrow an idea from this ....

Can you see where the idea came from? Ha ... I didn't realize its almost the same colors until just now ....

Then I had these cute Halloween stamp sets to play with ..... I used the spider web embossing folder and highlighted the "webs" with silver and clear Spica pens ..... I'm not a big Halloween person, but these were pretty fun to make!

I used to have a cool brown distressed background on the side panels of my blog ... it disappeared .... I don't know where it went .... hmmmmm .... plain brown is still brown, so until I can figure out where it went ..... guess that will do!

Enjoy your week!
