Welcome to Challenge #9 - Anything Goes (with a ribbon). We are being sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps and there's a great prize up for grabs.  You can find great digital images as well as clear acrylic stamps on their website.  Ready to play along? I used 2 different stamp sets from Clear Dollar Stamps ( "New Butterfly" and " Elegant Accents ") and and mixed it with some pretty " Iris " 3 Girl JAM ribbon to make my card. I used the following other items as well: PaperTrey Ink - Plum Pudding, Stamper's Select White, and Vintage Cream card stock. Prismacolors (Still need lots of practice here) DCWV - Lavender Chateau Matstack Dusty Concord Distress Ink Crystal Stickles Glossy Accents  I really like the way this card turned out.  I made it for a special friend and I'm really looking forward to getting it over today.  Thanks for stopping by today and remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Welcome to another "How Do I?" segment.  Today I have something special for you.  Quite a while back (maybe even a year ago), I searched Ebay and finally purchased my first set of Prismacolor Verithin colored pencils.  Once I got them, I really didn't know how to use them to their full potential.  Despite my interest, they have mostly set on the shelf, sharpened and ready to go.  However, I recently discussed them with my cousin Erin.  She was kicking around the idea of making a Prismacolor series and I encouraged her to do so.  I told her that if she did, I would love to link them to my blog and that I would send you over to her's. Not only did she make the series, but she did it in several very well explained segments.  My original plan was to link one segment per week, but I have since decided to link them all in one place.  I am also going to go back and pick up an older video she made on coloring hair.  I know this is a lot of vid...
