Wow! Its Wednesday already! I have been a busy bee...lunch with a friend on Friday. Dinner & a movie with another friend Friday night... Sat. went to an all day crop with a bunch of friends. Spent Sunday with my daughter. Taught card class last night...Whew...I'm tired just typing it all...LOL! I am BLESSED to have such wonderful friends! My home life is a struggle so it lifts my spirits to be with my friends.
The wedding card was made with a Cheery Lynn Christmas bell die. When I first saw it I thought it would make a great wedding card or anniversary card. Since the bells are so intricate you don't need much else on the card. I used an acetate sheets with white polka dots for the background. Added a few pearls and bows and it was complete!
I LOVE this next card!! That little "angry" bird is so cute! I cut his beak a little to "hold" the flower. Added a little red chalk to his belly. I am very happy how this card turned out...Love the colors! He makes me smile.
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Howdy!
Happy Wednesday!
I have been crafting away!
The flower card is made with Becca's punch technique that I used on a previous post. Then I added flowers and leaves all from dies or punches. Added some gems and pearls to finish it off. I must have spring on the brain...making a lot of flower cards lately!

The second card is made with a Hero Arts stamp called Newspaper Owl. You know how much I love OWLS! No matter what I did with him though I wasn't happy. This was my fifth and final attempt! I cut him out and popped him up. Added some Glossy Accents to his beak and some gems to his eyes. I used a new embossing folder with leaves for the background and added a rub on for the sentiment.
Have a great day...see you soon!

Monday, monday...Actually I just realized it's Tuesday..LOL!!
Hello! Hope you had a great Easter.
I have 2 cards to show you today. I am in love with the pink & black one. It was a very simple card to make but I love those colors together. The black paper came already embossed from Michaels. I stamped the flower twice and cut it out. The second flower I just cut out the center. I popped it up to give it some dimension then added a button to the middle. The rick rack separates the 2 papers. I added a Happy Birthday rub on and some pearls to finish it off.

The second card uses a stamp I have had for ages! I decided it needed some love!I added a touch of cream colored chalk to give the flowers a hint of color. Then I added a small pearl in the center of the large flower. The black Scallop trim was made with a Martha Stewart punch that I cut in half after I punched it out. I had some epoxy stickers in my stash too that I used on the bottom.
Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you have a great start to the week!

Hi! Its the start of Easter weekend. Hope yours is filled with Family, Fun & Faith. I am so grateful to our Lord for taking our place on the cross!

I am feeling really good today...so far no pain. Every day its become less and less and hopefully today it will be gone! The only frustrating part is all the housework that needs done that I am not allowed to do yet. But it WILL wait for me...LOL!!
I have two cards to share with you today. The first one is made out of coordinating papers & stickers. I made the background with a EK Success punch with Beccas technique. So fun! Never would have thought to do that.You can view her video here. Finished it off with a premade Hello sticker from my stash.

The window card looks so springy!! It was a fun card to make! The window die & flower box are from Memory Box Dies. I added some flowers I made with flower punches I had and added pearls to dress them up. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the "curtains". Added a little greenery and popped up the flower box.
Have a wonderful day.

Howdy!
I'm feeling very emotional today...not sure why...I guess being limited in what you can do, it gives you time to think about things. Not good for me! I am better if I keep busy! Going to craft right after I post this. Crafting is my therapy!!
Ive been seeing a lot of mint green & black in the magazines I have been looking at. I think its going to be the "hot" color combo in fashion for spring. Ive also seen some cards made with these colors. Not a color combo I would readily reach for but I really like it! I used McGill flower punches for the flower and a Cheery Lynnn die for the florish. Added a small punched flower and a rhinestone in each for some bling! I embossed the card with a polka dot embossing folder. The black patterned paper is from Paper Parachute. I buy it when I take classes from Agi but tend to "save" it. Why do we do that? I am such a hoarder of paper,ribbon,embellishments,etc...I guess we all have our weaknesses!
The bear is a digi stamp from The Digistamp Boutique. I love Teddy Bears and he was just so cute! I had some cupcake paper in my stash that I used with him. I added a little glitter to the center of the flower, the bee's wings and the frosting on the cupcake. Added a cherry rhinestone too. Inside it says..."Maybe a cupcake will help". Oh, and the corner punches were made with a Fiskars 3 in 1 corner punch.
Have a great afternoon and Happy Crafting!

Good Afternoon!
Its another gorgeous day here in Ohio. We have to enjoy each day as it comes because we don't know what tomorrow will be like!
I was able to get a little crafty! The Tilda card I am not quite happy with. It matches better than how it looks on here. I added lots of glitter to the bubbles so in real life it is very sparkly. I cut her out and the tub and popped them up. Maybe I will try changing the background paper and see if I like it better.
The other card is a digi stamp from The Digi Stamp Boutique. Isn't this little girl just soo cute? I used papers from October Afternoon. I also punched the corners with a 3 in 1 Fiskars corner punch.


I have someone who is wanting my attention. LOL! Since our one dog is no longer here she has become much more social. She seems to want my attention most when I am on the computer or when I am crafting. Just like the kids used to be! She still won't sit in our laps though...
Enjoy your day!
