Day 9. First Batch of Winners

Hello Friends, Happy weekend to you! Ahhhh finally I am back home and loving every second of it.  Next week I head to Gina K. Designs beautiful  store for one of my Road Trips. Super exited to see some of you and meet some of you.

On another note …. hello internet and wifi!  I didn’t realize I was so spoiled with a good connection.

Today I am super EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE  the first batch of 60 winners as  seen in this post.

Now for today’s coloring. I am so in love with this sweet parade from Mama Elephant called Animal Parade and I am thrilled to have a masculine card on hand.

When I was at the Mama Elephant’s Anniversary party I was able to do some coloring demos. This is what I was demoing and sharing how to use the Copic Blending solution to add texture. A technique that I  always use and it’s so simple!

I had a 3.5 hour plane ride ahead of me so I packed this for my return trip from AZ to home.

Search your colored pieces at home and see what you might want to add.  I found it very relaxing  to finish this card panel.

Before I announce the winners I thought you might want to know that I have someone else draw the random winners since I know so many of you and to keep things fare and square. Drum roll …. please …..

WE HAVE SOME WINNERS! CONGRATULATIONS LADIES! You are the 1st Group of Prize Package Winners: IF you won follow the directions on the photo above to claim your prize. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE EMAIL. A big thanks to Patti Leon or this wouldn’t happen.

    Congrats to all the winners & am I the only one who didn’t get this e-mail? I never saw this e-mail & I clicked on the link from the new e-mail to see if I was a winner but alas & alack, I was not but hey, I might be a winner the next time. I thought maybe you were having WiFi problems but I guess not. I just thought I would let you know that I didn’t get this e-mail. I love how you colored this cute parade of animals. If my nephew was younger, he’s 21 now, he would have liked this. I wish I had people to send this too. Great job! I hope your friend got all her moving done. I just missed this e-mail, I’ve gotten all the rest so far.

    Your animal parade pals look super furry and I like your technique. I will have to try that next time I color in some critters.
    Even on the plane you coloring looks marvy! Bad Wi-Fi is all we have so I am often offline when I don’t want to be and we love in a huge suburb outside DC! Must be the 1960’s construction beams.
    Congratulations to the first round of winners! Keep on coloring!!!
