Well, I am now back from seeing my baby boy graduate from basic training. Wow, it wasn’t until I saw him standing there in uniform that it hit me that my baby is now a grown man. I am so proud of him!!!

I also came home to find that I won the Shining Light award at the ODBD Blog! Thanks!!
It looks like I am going to be around for a while, that my work-trip is postponed, so the Copic Creations Challenge gals have graciously allowed me to jump right back in! Thanks girls!! And this week the challenge is coloring reflections. There are some tutorials listed over on the Copic Creations Challenge Blog, so I hope you’ll join in on the fun!! There’s an awesome prize…..a copic class from Suzanne!
I used one of my new favorite stamp sets – Puppy Love available at There She Goes. It is the cutest set, with tons of little images and adorable quotes!
To get my reflection, I stamped the image onto a ziploc baggie, then transferred the image from the baggie to the paper. It’s not the clearest imprint, but for a reflection it doesn’t need to be (in my opinion). After I colored it with softer shades of the image colors, I covered it in clear embossing powder. I was going for a look of reflection on a wet ground after the rain…. what do you think?

And here’s the inside, with one of the sentiments and another of the images from this cute set.
Supplies:
Paper: Chocolate Brown (GinaK), Green at Heart (Basic Grey), Nennah White, glossy white
Stamps: Puppy Love (There she Goes)
Accessories: Border punch (martha stewart), half pearls, button, satin ribbon, tuxedo black memento ink
