Thank you for coming to visit the OCS Blog Hop featuring High Hopes Christmas Release!
I know what you are thinking....gosh where has Lora been...well at least I hope you were thinking that! Well here I am & WELCOME to the our Blog Hop featuring the NEW release of Christmas images from one of my personal fav companies High Hopes!
So I want to start with my little story. I took 1 day off this summer which was Sept. 1st and my hubby and I took our daughter to see Karen & Guy at High Hopes. Okay it was really more of a fun day for me, not to mention my hubby did the 2 hours worth of driving. But while the boys took Emilee to play mini putt putt, Karen taught me how to colour with Tombow's. Now I have been the proud owner of a full set of Tombow's for at least 6 years, I did give them to my daughter when I got my Copic's. Well several week's ago I took them back....can you believe that, what a terrible thing to do eah! It was all good Emilee didn't mind at all. So back to the colouring part...I did not want to learn these Tombow marker things....UNTIL NOW! Karen's is one of the BEST people I know with a Tombow marker in her hand. Her work is just amazing. So who better than that to teach me...right! Well teach me she did I am in LOVE with them now!
So I was able to look through some of the stuff Karen had all coloured up and ready to go and I was to copy the colouring that she did. I went right for Making Friends because I love him AND he was coloured with purple, which I love too.
Karen had created this awesome page for her calendar and this is it:
Now here is what I did. I used all the same colours of Tombow's which are listed below, but I made a card with mine.
Tombow's: 636, 623, 528, N60, 847, 837, 946, 977, N25, N75
Other Supplies: Patterned Paper Bauble Delight Fab Scraps, Bazzill Purple & White, Snowflake Punch by Martha Stewart, Pastel Violet Chalk Edger, Heavenly H20, Glitter Fairy Dust, Misc. Ribbon
