Can I talk and craft at the same time?

While having a phone chat with my sweet friend Marcia this morning, I DID craft at the same time!  I love the results - of course it's Second Helpings for Color Hues #71 - I just had to make a Halloween card using Tracey's colors!


I was so happy that Waffle Flower Crafts brought back this BOO bear!


I used my new Watercolor Plaid stencils from Papertrey Ink today, with
the extra 'hands' of my Waffle Flower Craft Grip Mat and Stencil Extender! It sure does the trick when the stencil is nearly the same size as the panel.


Here are the inks and Copics that I used today:


Looks like Big Bear snapped his broomstick coming out of that cloud!

Well, I don't know about you, but those Monday holidays get me all messed up - off I go to do that laundry on Tuesday!!!  Thanks for keeping me company!

  4. It's no surprise to me that you can (very successfully) craft and chat at the same time. Love this bear on a broom, and the soft tones of Violet and Tangerine you chose. So much fun--and great to see #2 in the gallery at Color Hues!

  8. I thought that bear was a re-do. I was sure you had used him before when I saw Amy R make a card with him recently. That plaid stencil is a great tool and it makes a fun background for the broom riding bear.

Love the vellum cloud, poor Big Bear indeed broke his broom coming out of that enormous cloud! LOL I hope he can get it fixed before continuing on with his journey. Such a sweet card Michele!
