Happy Monday Everyone! Today I like to share a card I made with Cup of Sunshine from Moma's collection available at Whimsy Stamps! It's also on sale right now over at the Whimsy Store for 25% off!    I made this card a while back, It was one of my creations for the April issue (#12) of the Whimsy Inspirations Magazine. I colored with Copics and stamped the image using Memento Desert Sand. Papers are from Basic Grey's Kioshi collection.

****** For My Candy Please Scroll Down! ****** Hello All and Happy TGIF! Today my post is a bit longer so please bear with me. I have different things I want to share with you all and one of them is a CANDY I have up for grabs! At the end of this posting you'll find the candy and how to participate. :-) I wanted to do this for quite some time and now finally I came a round and did it! I also have a video to show.

If you are like me and building up color in lots of layers this cardstock is no good. After just a few layers it wont take any color anymore and the surface gets sticky with lots of built up. Also the color seems to sit on top of the paper and is not drying for a very
