Oh my badness, what a day we’ve had today! Carolyn King (cammie on SCS) and Sharon Coleman (stampscout on SCS) came to Jeanne’s this morning. Carolyn came to hang with us for a couple of hours, but Sharon came to stay the entire day. I had already met Carolyn earlier this week and she is just to durn cute and such a gorgeous smile! Sharon was one of the Original Challenge Chasers on SCS, along with Jeanne, myself and a few others. I had talked to her every day for a couple of years, and had never met her until today!! I met an Instant Friend today – WOO HOO!!!! We had so much to talk about and catch up on. I knew we had a lot in common, but to be able to sit side by side and chat – OMG what a thrill!
Sharon and Carolyn both wanted coloring lessons today. So we started out coloring with reinkers/stamp pads. When we broke for lunch, Carolyn had to leave us, but I was able to take this picture before she did. From left to right are Jeanne, Sharon, Carolyn and myself.
After lunch, we colored some more, moving into Prismacolor Pencils and then Copic Markers. We all got at least one card done today, but got a few more images colored ready to go on others. Here’s Jeanne, the teacher, giving Sharon lessons on different styles of coloring and blending.
When Sharon left today, I could have cried (well actually, I did get a little weepy feeling, but held back the tears). I gave her a big hug goodbye and hope to visit another time!!!! What a great day today!!!!! Oh and get this, I actually said ya’ll out loud today! I haven’t done that in years – well since I moved from my hometown near Louisville (pronounced lou-a-vul) and moved to the Chicago area.
When we were coloring with the reinkers this morning, I couldn’t resist Jeanne’s Whippersnapper stamps any longer. After I colored the image, I checked on today’s Color Challenge on Splitcoast and decided I could make it work with the challenge. The background paper is the new BasicGrey Figgy Pudding that I found at Jacksonbelle Embellishments.

Sad that I missed the coloring lesson, but so glad yall had fun! And even more gladder you said yall!! 😉
Love the card!
How fun! That stamp room looks like a fun creative mess! Why does the table seem to shrink when we get going on something? I have a big table and then this tiny little space to work in front of me and the rest of the room looks like a bomb went off!
Glad you’re having such a grand time – so many good, happy memories. Thanks for taking me on the journey. Great card – love that new BG.
Sounds like you all are having a grand ol’ time. How awesome that you all got to meet. This card is so cute, love the coloring and dp.
I would have loved to meet Carolyn and Sharon! Darn…you lucky girl! You are going to be really sad when you have to leave Jeanne’s.
WOW! I am so green with envy–Sharon gets a Coloring Lesson from Jeanne (that is a dream class for me) You get to meet Sharon AND Carolyn. What a fun fun fun time!!

Great pictures of you girls!! Thanks for sharing them.

Glad you are having such a great time in Texas! Super cute card!
I have one question I desperately want you to answer: how many stamps does Jeanne have?! Enquiring minds want to know!!!
Hi, Sherry! It sounds like you’re having such a good time! Yup, two weeks of stamping and fun with kindred spirits–sounds like a good time to me. You’re making some really cute cards, too. I love this darling Whipper Snapper image. I have kind of a hard time getting any cards actually done when I’m stamping with friends, but you’re doing great. Thanks for sharing all the fun with the rest of us! Carry on!
This card is adorable in real life!!! We had a blast; thank you and Jeanne and Cammie for a fantastic day! Today’s my day to put to practice what I learned!
Oh my gosh, what wonderful pictures!!! This Sharon wants coloring lessons, too!!! Oh, wow, what fun this must have been — only hoping I can get to meet some of you girls IRL some day!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!!!
