Sunday, I was greeted with quite a few card making goodies that had arrived in the mail from Amazon.
A few hours after my daughter and I settled in, I pulled out my card making supplies and started working on this card. It’s not finished, since I still need to add skin tones and since I don’t have the appropriate pencils, or markers, I decided that this should be placed aside until it can be completed. Since my Copics skin tone markers should be arriving some time today, it looks like I might be able to complete it some time this evening.
Yesterday, I used the Tim Holtz’s Bird Crazy stamps to create this card. Initially, I was going to make it for my BF; however, a church lady (and her husband) have been on my mind and I believe this card will go to her. These days, when someone pops into my mind… I think it’s Gods way of telling me to check up on them, and I do.
Handcrafting: More than just card making…
While it might seem like the only thing I’m doing is making cards… I’m not. I’m also knitting and sewing. This past weekend, I started knitting a fall themed hat for my daughter. Admittedly… not too much of that was accomplished since our days were packed while visiting the BF. However, I’m hoping that I can complete it some time this week. With sewing, I’m mending one of my mothers nursing uniforms.
I am blessed that I am able to do things I enjoy when I have down time. These days finding that down time can be a challenge; however, I manage to squeeze in some time even if it is only for a few minutes. I find crafting to be a wonderful form of meditation and so I try to actively engage in it daily.
I love the way COPIC Markers make hair look! And I really like those birds!!!!

Thanks @Jennifer, I’m still playing around with the markers, but I really love them a lot. My skin tone markers arrived yesterday. I’m still awaiting for the Momento stamp pad. Funnily enough, I thought I had already had that in my pile. I didn’t which explains some of the smearing I experienced when coloring a few of my stamps.

@Jennifer, It’s been a lot of fun and it keeps my hands busy doing what they enjoy… crafting. A perfect outlet when I do not have time to knit, sew, embroider or weave. 🙂
