Dear Blog - it's been a while since I've posted.  I've been in the process of moving my craft room upstairs.  Lots of exercise, but not much crafting.

Here are a few items I've been working on.  I have more, but they aren't finished.

This card was done using Faber-Castell and Cretacolor colored pencils.  I'm not sure which I like best.  The Faber-Castell are definitely more waxy.  However, I sharpened one and a good chunk of the pencil is now gone.  I am new to the colored pencils scene, so I will have to do some research on the best way to sharpen so you don't eat away your pencil.  The stamp is a Stampin Up stamp - Inspired by Nature stamped in Crumb Cake Stampin Up ink.

This stamp is by Inkadinkadoo.  I used alcohol based markers by Spectrum noir that I picked up at Joanns.  Not sure if I like them or not.  I am still leaning towards the Prismacolor alcohol based markers.  I need to practice the blending.  I liked the way it turned out though.  I just LOVE this stamp.  It is so pretty.
