Halloween

I won the items for this next card in the Paper Maniac blog hop.  100_8112 As soon as I opened the package, I new what I was going to make.  I watercolored the house because I new that I could do a sunset with watercolors.  Wasn’t sure if I could with Copics.  I colored the beautifully dressed witch with Copics and then applied Distress Ink over her because she was too bright.  I distressed everything you see except the fence (which was cut with my Cricut).  100_8107 I wanted more color in the paper and I didn’t have any black lace, so there ya’ go.  Customized supplies!!! 

And that’s it.  I’m off to the grocery store as soon as the news is over.  You may have noticed that I updated my weight loss tracker.  The first time around didn’t work out very well.  I lost about seven pounds before going to Brave Girls and then didn’t get back on it.  I’m starting over with Biggest Losers as they start the new season.  Hopefully, I will have lost my 33 pounds along with the hundreds that the lose.

I have been keeping up my walking since Brave Girls camp.  That’s two months.  Speaking of Brave Girls camp, I’ve signed up for camp next fall.  I would love it if some of you could come and join me!  Obviously, I loved my experience since I’m going again!!!

I hope you  all had a great weekend and have a good start to the week!

Blessings,

Christine

this card is stunning! I love all the coloring you have done here. The sunset is beautiful and the distressing on the witch perfect! I love the fence (what cartridge is it from?) I also need to lose a bunch of weight... Maybe we can boost each other up? Take care my friend,
Georgia

Christine this is beautiful, love how you water coloured your scene and with the witch coloured in copics it sort of fits into the background and brings the witch prominent. Glad to see you used your cricut now we need to keep you at it. You have done really well with the regular walking, you must notice the difference in yourself.
Well done for getting back on the weight loss trail, I have lost 11lbs up till now and get weighed again tonight so you will have to see if you can catch me up now lol.
