Gnome is where the heart is ♥

Hi friends!

I'm here ... hanging with my gnomies! :)

Are you playing along with Kathy Rac's the daily marker coloring challenge? 

 This month is almost over but it's several times a year ~ 

and you can jump in anytime.

Color as much, including full cards,

 or color a little, like a image or two and save them for another day!

The idea is to color something a little bit each day and keep the creativity going ♥

I am SO BEYOND BLESSED to be one of her Goodwill Ambassador's 

this time around and have loved zipping around 

on social media seeing all the colorings and sprinkling love!

 You can find me most of the time on Instagram ~ there is a #thedailymarker30day hashtag you can use to your colored images.

This was the card I made for yesterday's coloring - 

the card was remnants left on my craft desk

and part of an upcoming blog post .. stay tuned!

It's exciting!

I've used Stampingbella stamp called Gnome on a Swing

 and colored it with my prismacolor markers.

The sentiment didn't fit onto this card base so I switched it

with one from Avery Elle stamps.

Here is where you can learn more about the 30 day coloring challenge!

Thanks for your visit today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Faithful Friday ~ Love is kindness ♥

Hi friends!

March is one of my favorite months ~

and not just because it's my birth month! :)

It's the month that one of my favorite challenges happens!

Today's card is my 3rd colored image for The 30 Day Coloring Challenge ~

a challenge I have been doing for awhile now

(I think this one marks my 4th or 5th time - woot!)

You can see my past coloring/cards on IG: @miamikel4

where I love to hang out, too!

The challenge is also a great way to do my favorite part of card making - Coloring!

By the end of the session, I've colored enough images

to complete birthday cards AND Christmas cards 

so it's a wonderful way to get crafty, creative and practical!

 

Today's card is using a SU! image Love is Kindness ~

a stamp set that I wanted for forever.

I fell in love with it after seeing it on Pinterest

and asked around to all my crafty friends if they had it,

but after hearing no at each turn,

 I figured it wasn't meant to be :*(

Well, surprise!

Hold.  the.  fort!

Crafty friends really are the best friends!

Low and behold, my wonderful friend Barb and her amazing demo, Sarah,

found it at a rummage sale at an SU workshop

AND remembered that I had been looking for it!

  I was simply overjoyed ♥

The fact that they remembered I had been looking for it

and thought enough to scoop it up just meant the world to me.

Thank you, Barb!
Your kindness is a measure of how truly beautiful you are,

inside and out ♥
