Pink Cat Studo Sweet Pea and March 2009 Sketch Compilation

Hello Friends! Happy Sunday to you all. Below I added "March 2009's Compilation of Sketches". . . go check it out! There was a time when I would compile all the sketches I created for each month and post it. I did that for the first year that I started creating sketches then I got lazy. I'm going to try to compile all of them and hopefully, finish them in a week or two. I have 2 years worth of sketches to compile. I'll post them as I finish them and they'll be located on my left side bar when I'm done. I've been really lazy about a lot of things. . . .one of which is creating tutorials.

I don't know. . .there was a time when I would go to bed thinking about the next tutorial I would create the next day. I really had a blast doing these tutorials but in the last year or so, I started to realize that I was doing them at the expense of other things.

Creating written or video tutorials can take hours at times to complete, from taking the pictures, uploading the photos, watermarking them, writing the written instructions, uploading to blogger. . .sometimes video tutorials would take longer because a lot of editing has to be done to create a short video.

Unfortunately, as time went on, I realized I did these tutorial at the expense of my family time and personal endeavors. I'm not sure what motivated me to spend so many hours creating these tutorials. One reason was I actually love sharing them. I would get excited about a project and I wanted you all to try it out. It would be much easier if I was able to show you in person but oh, well. . that is not the way the world turns in blog land. LOL!

Anyway. . .after a while, I started to burn out. . .I wanted to do other things and spend time with my family. . .something had to go! LOL! Now, I only create tutorials when I can actually find the time without sacrificing other things. I hope you are not greatly disappointed that I no longer create tutorials regularly. I still want to do them but I can no longer do them like I did in the past. That's not true, I can but I don't want to. LOL! I want to spend time with my family more.

Just a little info on this card. How many of you have the Copic Airbrush system? Well, I've had it for over a year and have never even opened the box. Yesterday, I decided to try it out. It was quite interesting . . .the results are really pretty but you can achieve the same results by layering your colors as I did to my oval background on this card I made.

I still need a bit of practice with the airbrush system. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of it and I'll show you the results in future cards!!

This image is from the Pink Cat Studio Sweet Pea Dress Up set that was released in March. Isn't he a cutie or what? Do you see the wire works for the antenna. Well, I had added it after I had accidentally cut the antenna when I was trying to cut around it. Rather than starting over, I decided to add the wires and buttons. I hate starting over on anything! LOL!

Anyway, stop by Pink Cat Studio and grab this cute stamp set!! It's a very versatile stamp set. .

Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday and don't forget to scroll down and check out my compilation of March's sketches. I'll continue to post the compilations for each month daily until I'm done with all of them!!
