Let's Talk Turkey!

Hello, crafty friends! Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to guest design today. Thanks to Anne and Thia for this chance to use these great digis!I was on the Get Inky! design team last year, and enjoyed working with Anne and Thia very much! 

It's not quite Halloween, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Today, I'm talking turkey....

Now, this is a colorful, spoiled turkey!  You gotta love that sentiment!  I used a digi set from BMMCS.  You can find this in the Digi Digi Doodle Etsy Shop HERE.

I colored the turkey with Copic markers, concentrating on the fantastic tail, because, after all, he IS a spoiled turkey, so he HAS to look GOOD! 

I used 2 sizes of the Spellbinders die #38 on this card, wrapping it in Tuxedo Black Timeless Twine. The designer papers are from Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather 6x6 pad (available through the Blue Moon Creation Crafting Station!)  The card base is Kraft card stock from Close To My Heart.

This cute little digi was very fun to work with -- simple to color, and loaded with possibilities!  Again, thanks to BMCCS for the chance to guest design today!

Coloring Faces and Hair with Copic Markers

Hi crafty friends! Thia here for today's Whatcha Working on Wednesday post. Recently, I was hired by my local scrapbooking shop to teach classes on how to use Copic Markers. So, I set up to teach the basics. I was contacted by a store customer asking if she could hire me to teach her about hair coloring. So, with one week to put together this lesson, that's what I'm working on now. Originally, I was going to show you a peek of a You Tube video for tomorrow, but it's not what I am truly working on right now. That being said, let me tell you a bit more...

Two days before my regular scheduled class at the shop, I called to see if we had any takers. Nope. So, I wrote it off as a no go and hadn't prepped materials. That night, I get a call asking if I'd hold class for two. Sure, why not. It'd be a great start for my first class. 

Need I say how frantic I became? My craft table looks horrible. I have no room for anything!!! It's one big mess pile now! So tomorrow's planned video is a BUST. It's just not going to happen. I'm sorry. So, here's what we at the Crafting Station will have for YOU instead...

Come back tomorrow for my beginners workshop file on Copic Coloring! I will post practice digis and the pamphlet...both for FREE! You'll just have to grab them off the website. (Limited time offer.)

So...get out, have fun...and don't forget to come back and get your craft on!
