Oh snap! let's take a selfie


     Sorry to have disappeared for a while.  It's been another rough week.  I have a couple of appointments this week and hope to make some progress with them.  Thanks for all the sweet comments that have been left in regards to my health.  Thought and prayers are always welcome and MUCH appreciated.
     As you know I've been doing some more guesting for Art Impression Stamps.  Well this stamp is actually from my stash instead of the new stuff, but I had never inked it up yet so I got it out to play with.  I was so tempted to give it a sentiment of "Let me take a selfie!", but I refrained myself.  LOL  What I did do was use that cute instant camera frame die cut and some Tim Holtz filmstrip.  Guess that stuff is going to become as scarce as hens teeth since everything's digital these days.
     Here are the selfie girls up close and personal.


Copics Used:
skin E000, E00, E11, R20, R30
hair E33, E35, YR23, Y21, E08, E93, E95, E97, E21, E23, E25, E27, N3, N5, N7, N9
clothing BG10, BG11, BG13, C00, C0, C2, V91, V93, V95, V99, YR20, YR21, YR23, E51, E53, E55
camera W1, W3, W5, N7

     Hope all my friends in the paths of these nasty storms are safe and sound.  We didn't get all the really rough stuff like up in Tupelo and next door in the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area, but the lightening last night was crazy.  It was almost constant making it like a false daylight.  It raining and rumbling now so I'll be keeping an eye on the weather updates.
     Have a happy Tuesday!

Fabulous card, Tracy! Love the fun image and great details you added! Glad you didn't get as rough weather there. It was pretty scary last night, but we were lucky. The lightning was like a strobe light! Really hope you get to feeling better soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

This makes me smile SO big, Tracy! What a FUN image, and what a FUN way to use it! I love it when you fussy cut...and look at all those amazing layers. The filmstrip is really the perfect added touch.
So sorry to hear you've been having a rough week. Hope you get some answers soon and some treatment. But glad to hear you've been making it through the storms okay. We had a tornado warning all the way out here this morning even, and lots of thunderstorms. Looks like it's going to be another wet, wet day.
