Last day for Candy and Challenge #8 A Die for a Sketch!

Link to my candy till tomorrow here!

Geesh!

This is the wonderful little Bavarian Inn for Christmas EVE dinner!  There's my two guys!  Aren't they lovely??

Is it really the 5th of January already?  It's had to admit, but the year is really going fast already! lol  My contribution for the challenge will be on the 20th of January, so be sure to come back and visit me then also!  I may have a bit of Die Candy for you all!

My boy and girl with my MOM at Frankenmuth on Christmas Day

I've been doing a bit of after Christmas shopping!  Made that big decision and bought a real camera, light box and backdrop for my studio.   I know this is just the end of the means for paper crafting, but I love all of the artistic control you have after the project is complete!  The lighting, the scenery, the focus and depth and so much more with the editing program afterwards.

After in-depth consideration and comparison I've decided on the Nikon DSLR3200, with 24.2 Mega Pixels, 18-55 lense and an extra 55-300 lens too!  The camera is even compatible with a SD chip X2 Pro Eye fi!!!  Now I point and click and the photo is in my laptop waiting to be edited.  This thing is just amazing!  I really can't wait to share my new pics with you all in the Whimsy Magazine as well as here on my blog.

If you like what you see and have any questions regarding the camera, I'm taking a class for the next several weeks from basic to advanced and I'll be happy to share what I learn with you.  As long as I've experienced it, I'll share it.  *big grin*

My New Sketch Work!

A DIE FOR A SKETCH

Hi everyone . . .everywhere!   I say everywhere because no matter what we preform in this forum, it can be heard around the world in a matter of seconds!  Isn't that phenomenal?  I've been on a few design teams but I thought it was time to stretch my reach into the sketch challenge world for a bit and found myself a lovely little group of talent across the ocean.

I am just catching up with some exciting news tonight!.  My work with Whimsy Stamps is, to say the least, always absolutely thrilling and I'm always so tickled to share with you on releases, hops and of course the Magazine!  However, I too find myself looking for designs that come from specific inspiration.  Take some of the design guess work out and just let my love of colors and mediums flow!!  You know??

I am thrilled to say I have been asked to join the Design Team at A Die for a Sketch
It is a monthly Sketch Challenge filled with wonderful and talented artists from all over the world ( I'm going to have to brush up on my German) tehe!!!

My first card will be for the January Challenge but it's as easy as this:  

Use at least one die, and follow the Sketch of course.

There is a lovely Sketch up ready to follow this month, if you get the inkling,  I do hope you can join in with us.

Thanks ladies for the lovely opportunity and I look forward to meeting all of you in the Lounge soon!  Don't you just love making new friends?? I know I do!
