A few Digital Delights Projects, preview for next Saturday's tutorial

Happy Weekend!
 






     First of all, I'm in one of the goofiest moods this evening.  I went shopping today.  There is something about the adrenalin rush I get when I'm on the "hunt".  This time the "hunt" was for a container large enough to hold all of my copic markers.  I found this large Iris type container at my local craft store, I grouped the colors together and each color family is held together with rubber bands so I can glance quickly and retrieve what I need. 

 I need about a dozen to have a complete set of copics, and I hope with my trip to take the certification class and then receive my copic certification on Monday.  I hope I can finish up my collection and start collecting the refills.  I must admit once I begin to collect the copic refills. I may have a slight storage problem. 

     Ok, I admit it, I have a serious storage problem now, I don't have enough.  Maybe one day, I can totally clean out the oldest DS's room, and stock it with my DH's guitars, books, computer desk, etc.  Of course, I'd have to buy him a mini fridge for his "beverage" needs. Back to earth!


     Speaking of "earth" I took a picture of me on the average, every day, hair in a mess, one eyebrow looking weird. (I have no idea why), a goofy look on my face and ink on my fingers!  Have a good laugh at it!

     The elf is a topper that is part of the Christmas topper (one) set.  I colored him with copic markers, the checks of this little guy is embellished a white gel pen.  I sewed a tiny jingle bell to the top of his hat. He is then embellished with glitter. Click here for the Digital Delight websight.

     I used this image on a Jr. legal pad, and put him on the top.  You will see this project in next Saturday's tutorial (November 13, 2010) due to a slight mix-up with the other DT designers and leaders.  Trust me it is no biggie.

     I hope you enjoyed the mini video tutorial of my scrap/stamp room, I am not sure why the video is so fussy, I really need to change video tapes as I tend to use the first 10-15 minutes of it over (and over a ca-zillion) times.  So it is probably worn out and needs to be retired. 

     I finally was able to mail Jeannette her blog candy from my blog-anniversary give away, and it is time to do a small give away for Christmas holidays.  I will post details (and pictures) tomorrow.  Until then, feel free to start leaving comments any where on my blog, tag my blog onto your blog or face book page for a chance to win.

ooooh my gosh!!! You sure have a lot of copics :) I'm glad you got a storage for all of them - that's definately something to be proud of! I don't have a problem storing my copics right now...may be it's because I only have two :) he-he-he
Love your picture, Loretta, you look so pretty and so happy!!!

I love the elf topper! He's really cute and I'm looking forward to your tutorial. I just have a few Copics. I wish I had more but money is tight right now. I'd love to learn to use the ones I have better so I hope you can give us some tips when you get certified. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!

Thank you for the way you group your copics, never thought of it that way. Don't have as many as you but quite a few.
