Happy Thursday! This turtle stamp is from Whipper Snapper stamps. I got it this past weekend at the stamping convention. I colored him with my Copic markers and used glossy accents on his shell & the little frogs eyes. My nickname for my daughter is turtle and this stamp makes me think of her. I added a snippet of ribbon on a circular paperclip to give it a touch of yellow.

Thanks for looking!

Hi ~ Thanks for stopping by today...These two images are from The Greeting Farm. The top one is Anya, Down on the farm. The little barn is a $1.00 stamp from Michaels. I colored it , cut it out & popped it up. I used the wave punch from EK Succes. I think it is my favorite new border punch. The bottom image is a digital image also from The Greeting Farm. It is Dorothy Anya. It is the first digital stamp that I have tried. I really like it. I didn't color it with the usual Dorothy, Wizard of Oz colors. This definitely makes it more versatile. I used tiny buttons on her dress but a few friends said they look like "boobs". I left them anyway. The flowers are also from Michael's in the bridal section. I added brads to the middle of the flowers and glue dotted them to my card. This company has some really cute images.(But I am not enabling you! LOL!)

This little chirpy bird was a card we made at stamp class this week. I think the ladies liked him! Both stamps are from Imaginese. The Flower petals were cut on the Cricut with the Walk in my Garden cartridge. It's hard to see but we pierced holes across the dark blue cardstock directly under the bird. The light blue cardstock has a polka dot texture to it. I didn't have any gems that matched so I colored clear ones with my Copic markers. That was neat..knowing that I can just keep clear gems on hand & can color them to match any project. We finished him off with some yellow gingham ribbon.

As I sit here posting this I can hear all the birds singing their little hearts out. We have had one here the last few days that sings nonstop. It sounds like she is saying "tinkerbell". My friend told me she thinks it is probably a cardinal. I hope you can open your window & enjoy the sounds of "spring" It's the little things in life that can bring you great joy if you let them. Until later....

Happy Spring! Today was a beautiful day but it actually was quite warm...felt more like a summer day. I have had quite a busy/fun weekend. Saturday I attended a stamping convention full of vendors selling their stamping wares. So much to see (and buy! LOL!) Came home with lots of goodies. I can't wait to play! Today I went to a scrapbooking crop with several of my stamping buddies. It was loads of fun. I didn't get as much done as I wanted but there was lots of yummy food,door prizes & laughter. So itwas a jam packed weekend doing the things I love to do with people I love to spend time with.

This is a card I made with Dragonfly Tilda from Magnolia. She is part of the Butterfly collection.I colored her with warm sunny colors and added some glitter to her wings to give her a touch of sparkle. I added rhinestones on the end of her antennae as well as the middle of the flowers.

Hope you had a great weekend and got to spend some time doing what you love. Take care and I will talk to you tomorrow.

I know I already posted today but I just had to show you what greeted me when I came home tonight. It stretched so far across the sky that I couldn't fit it all in one picture.Isn't it beautiful? I hope it brings a smile to your face just like it did mine!

Aren't these birdies just so darn cute? I saw them at http://www.allmyscraps.com/ and just had to have them. The set it called Tweet-ies by C.C. Designs. Their long eyelashes make them irresistible! They came with three sayings...Happy Bird-day, What?, and A little birdie told me. I don't know which one I like best. Maybe the one with the balloon. No, wait...maybe the one with the umbrella? I can't choose. I love them all. Have a fantastic day & Happy stamping!
