Lately, out of necessity, all my cards are images colored with sharpies. That is because the only time I have for crafting is when I sit in my car at lunch....sharpies are the only medium that travels well. I once spilled an entire bottle of gamisol that I use with colored pencils. Luckily it is odorless...nothing worse than a smelly dental hygienist. I Really like more variety and hopefully I will get back to using other mediums. For Lisa's FF17 ORANGE challenge, I used O=orange sharpie, R= round moon, A= apples, G= green leaves, and E= enamel dots.
For the WT challenge, my lion has very big eyes. I usually do not do the SC, but thi s was an easy layout......it has been a long time since I have been a challenge hoarder....3 on on a card WHOO HOO!. TFL, Francie

Wow! Fabulous coloring. I'm amazed that you did this with sharpies. It looks awesome and I'm not lion. Good for you making it work the way you need to do. Great job on all the challenges. You rocked it! Terrific take on the sketch, glad you could play along. TFS

Awesome coloring on that page, Francie. Just look at those apples shining. I've never used Sharpies but you sure do a fabulous job with yours. You just don't need anything else. Love this colorful scene.

What a beautiful image, it reminds me of a children's book I have. And I love the vivid colours. Check out the Zest-It that Susie describes in her write-up. It's pretty much non-spill AND it smells good. Love your background too! It's been a dull grey day here, the colour is a tonic.

As I was reading your write-up I said to myself, self you must PM Francie about Zest-It....I've just read all the terrific comments and I see Sabrina had the same thoughts. About your card, wow, wow, wow what a showstopper. No one uses Sharpies like you do Francie. This is magic and another great combination of challenges.

Francie I love this and love the amazing coloring. I tent to travel with my pencil then once I get back home I use the gamsol and it still works great. I don't have many sharpies so I could not travel with them. Love your elements for the letters in Orange. Thank you for playing in the Fallidays challenges.
