Smile!

Hello lovely people,

Is that some sunshine I see this morning?!  Maybe I will get some gardening time today and if not, another day in my crafty haven beckons!

Today we have a new challenge for you at As You Like It and our theme this time is...

YOUR FAVOURITE...
MARKERS, INKS OR PENCILS
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor this time is Digi Stamp Boutique with a $10 voucher

My favourite colouring medium is Copic markers because of the detail and depth of contrast I can get in the shading...on a good day!

I am really enjoying experimenting with my Inktense pencils but I can't see them ever replacing my beloved Copics.

I am pleased to say that it felt like a good colouring day for me when I coloured this fabulous image; doesn't she look so happy and carefree?

I have to say that being outdoors and being active makes me happy and is a good escape from any problems or worries.

I hope you will pop over to As You Like It and check out the fabulously creative projects from the rest of the team :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
