What Did I Come Here For?

Ever find yourself asking the question: "What did I come here for?" Yep. I do. All the time.
This is the second week of the Art Impressions In With the New Challenge.

 

Here is my new creation using the Dare to Be Fabulous Set (sku# 1170398).

 

Of course, I used my Copic markers and plunked myself right in front of the air conditioner to color and create using this stamp set. 

 Thank you to everyone who has sent me such lovely comments and have taken the time to welcome me back into the crafting world! 

It's Been a Year!

Almost a year to date since I last posted a blog! And...today, I felt the urge to play along and join in the Art Impressions Challenge. The current challenge is In with the New. I think this is most fitting that I play along considering that I found this awesome stamp set at the local craft store (Hobby Lobby) and I couldn't leave the store without purchasing it. It always amazes me how these quirky ladies make me chuckle!

The new stamp set is called: Dare to be Fabulous. And fabulous it is...Here is my creation I colored using my Copic markers. I know...it is hard to believe but I had to dust off all of my Copics it has been that long since I have used them! It felt good to get back to coloring.

There she is...F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!
