Hello Friends, How is your week going? Update on the late posts … the problem has been identified and now I need someone to help me fix it hopefully by next week. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
For my post today I am combining Day 4 & Day 5. I was up really later coloring and was to tired to post on the blog. Even tho my motto is five minutes a day sometimes it’s hard to stop. I would guess many of you have the same problem lol.
Sandy Boone is a friend of mine and she’s an amazing colorist! Sandy has a small Etsy shop where you can purchase her stamps. (giveaway at the bottom) I had such fun combining several of her stamp sets to create this scene. Fussy cutting it was pretty easy and added vellum to create a window look. Also added velum for steam coming from the coffee. The coloring was totally inspired by Sandy.
For this card I used a two of Sandy’s stamp sets. I was having a such a good time with this one too. It was to much work to make the lady sit inside the cart so I tipped her upside down to create a headless mannequin hahah. I used some copic blending solution on the background with a rag.
Love this “Futz” stamp set. I have FOUR OF THESE TO GIVEAWAY! To qualify all you need to do is say yes or no in the comment area. Yes if you futz or no if you don’t futz!! I will announce the winners at the end of the challenge.
Thank YOU Sandy for the giveaway! Thank you all for your visit. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

BIG TIME “YES” and on a side note, love how you made her a mannequin, I collect them, we have them all thru out our house, including one in a bikini by the pool, a cowgirl in my husbands man cave#2 and I have 2 of them that hang out on top of pink school lockers in my scrapbook room with me. Just a fun, oops no I guess weird or unique fact about me, lol. 🙂

Yes! Really love these stamps! Going to have to check your friend out on Etsy.
Aren’t they fun, Amy? Thank you in advance for checking out her Etsy shop 🙂
Yes, I futz with my cards and art projects but I detest futzing with my hair–it’s naturally curly/wavy, on a humid day, the more I futz the worse it looks!
Thanks for sharing your awesome coloring with us, love these new stamps you’re using. I haven’t started coloring, managed to catch a bad cold when returning from vacation, so I don’t want to contaminate my art supplies, I’m constantly coughing, sneezing or blowing my nose–uggh! I need to make Valentine cards, I send them off to elderly relatives but I don’t want to share my cold germs.
Welcome to the futz club! I am so sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Feel better, Sheri 🙂
Yes! It’s a curse!!
You’re coloring is the deluxe version of awesome!
Well Linda, I think we are all cursed then lol 🙂 Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Gorgeous cards Kathy and I had to translate the word Futz first in to Dutch. I had never heard of it. If I ever futz I don’t know, perhaps, I think everyone one a time does it.
Hope so for you that all the problems are solved and that you only have to colour.
I am the same, when I am colouring I lost every track of time LOL, five min. become ten and ten become fiveteen.
Thanks for your post and see you tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure “futz” is slang and perhaps not an official word, but Henriette, you are probably correct in saying that we all probably do it 🙂
Yes!
Love your coloring!
🙂 Thank you for stopping by, Tina!
Yes! I absolutely futz.
🙂 Us “futz” gals are in good company, Danielle!
No, these are beautiful
Thank you so much, Connie! I appreciate your stopping by 🙂
Oh yes!!!!
🙂 Thank you for stopping by, Lisa!
Yes! Guilty!!
🙂 I think we all are, Megan! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
Yes of course lol, I can never leave anything alone and it drives my hubby crazy. I hate to say it sometimes keeps my cards from getting out on time. I know bad right. Love these cards Kathy and yes I can’t stop at 5 minutes either.
Bobbie, you are in very good company! You just described many of my closest friends 🙂
Yes, I do futz with my cards and other projects. Your background on the second card is
wonderful. I keep forgetting about using this method. Thanks for sharing and the
chance to win a awesome stamp set.
We are just one big futz club here today, Judy! I am so glad you were reminded of the background technique I used. I love when that happens to me 🙂
Yes, I futz. I just purged many stamps and dies and I would put that on my forklift
LOL! You are too funny, Laurie 🙂
Yes!
🙂 Thank you for stopping by, Kari!
I have a very short attention span, so I never futz. Good enough is my motto, LOL!
Kudos to you, Jean! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
YES!
I love your coloring and your creativity!
🙂 Thank you for your sweet words, Debra!
Yes … sometimes. Awesome coloring.
🙂 You are very kind!
Don’t think that I like the word, but answer is yes
🙂 I understand, Monica. Thank you for stopping by!
Yes! Unfortunately! Thanks for such great coloring inspiration. You’re the best.
Oh, Ruth, you are so very kind! I am so grateful for your sweet comment 🙂

I am sure future is now officially a term, thanks to your perfect use of it, Anna LOL! I’m smitten with these images too 🙂
YES!! That’s totally me…
Thank you for amazing inspiration!
You are in good company, Nan! Your sweet comment brightened my day 🙂
Haha, I totally FUTZ sometimes! I also understand not stopping at five minutes of colouring… I don’t like leaving something half-finished if I’m on a colouring roll. What if the muse has fled when I go back? Your colouring, as always, is fantabulous.
Oh, Lindsey, I am the same way! Thank you for your very kind comment. I am so grateful 🙂
YES
🙂 Thank you for stopping by, Linda!
What an adorable set! Your coloring is gorgeous as always. I love that forklift! YES, I FUTZ my card right into the trash half the time! Thanks for the fun giveaway! I have up to Day 5 loaded on FB. Day 6 is done but I am waiting on my friends since we all colored the same image and we are waiting for our little “reveal” day. 🙂
The set is super sweet, isn’t it? Angie, your lovely comment made my heart smile 🙂
Yes

Yes!
As usual, I love your work.
🙂 I appreciate that so much, Tona!
Oh, yes! Things are often to futzy for me! And for some weird reason, it’s often used in conjunction with piddlefart in our family…. Stop futzing and piddlefarting around and get to work! (Piddlefart… to wast time doing nothing) Hahaha!
That Retail Therapy is a hoot and I love how you did the background! So nice to hear that time gets away from you, too! (she’s human!!!) : )
So you can market your piddlefart stamp set LOL! Your comment made me smile, Ann 🙂
Yes!
🙂 Thank you for stopping by, Susan!
I’ve never heard of ‘futz’ before … but I’m not from the US so maybe that’s why?!
Gorgeous colouring – I love the little scenes you made
Gab, it’s not incredibly common, and perhaps just an American slang term. Thank you for your sweet comment 🙂
Ahhh I used to be a futzer but as I got into my fifties and now 60, I no longer futz LOL ….
I love your colouring as always Kathy. Thanks for sharing your talent with us so freely xo
So pretty soon I may not futz anymore? So there is hope for me, Moira? LOL
Thank you for your lovely comment 🙂
YES!!!! And I love your coloring and inspiration!!
:)))) Thank you kindly, Beverly!
Omg. Yes I futzing futz!! I am so glad I made it over here today! These are so fun and such wonderful creations! Love how you put them together! Hoping to play along soon. I’ve been coloring. Just haven’t been able to post about it. Lol! After Friday I should free up a bit and Saturday I’ll be coloring with J-dove. Lol! So I’ll post them for sure. Now I gotta go check out that Etsy shop!!
I’m glad you are part of the futz club, Lisa! And I am even happier to know that you are coloring 🙂

First I like to say I did not realize it was a headless person in the cart until I read that part.
Yes I futz.. my husband says no but that is because he is OCD to the point we have spats!
