Thanksgiving Eve and Copic Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone!! Here are a couple more images from Saturated Canary. I LOVE coloring with my Copic alcohol ink markers. I guess I'm just a big kid who still likes to play:) I keep wondering if I had not had ADHD, and/or teachers who understood and knew what to do with me, if I could have channeled all this creativity into more ART. I kinda think so. When you pair ADHD with high IQ, the teachers back then thought I was just lazy or spoiled and would not 'buckle down'. They just did not understand that I could not. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard the words "wasted potential." By the time I began teaching ADHD was beginning to be understood a bit. I made sure not to do to my students what was done to me! You don't always grow out of it either. I still have it and I'm over 40.

Coloring Christmas!

I have missed not using my Copic alcohol ink markers, so I got them out today and used them on these adorable images from Saturated Canary. In the first one I used the Filigree Frame embossing folder from Stampin' Up! My Nexus Ten tablet has updated photo editing so I'm playing around trying to learn. This is why there are two shot of a couple of them.

Creating During the Storm

Thanks to our generator, I was able to stay busy as we were being pounded with ice, snow and an earthquake this week.
