Hello ~ Happy Thursday! I am so excited today...I weighed in at Weight Watchers and I lost another 4.2 lbs!!! I really wasn't expecting it to be a loss that big. Usually it is 1-2 lbs.
Today's card features another Tilda from the Pet collection. Isn't she cute holding her kitty? I used my Nestibilities Dahlia set . The stitching was done with a white gel pen. My papers were from my scrap bin. Tilda was cut out & pop dotted up. Thanks for visiting & I will see you soon!

Good morning! I can't believe it's another Monday already. This Tilda is from the Pet collection. Isn't she sweet! I swear every image they come out with is so darn cute. It certainly doesn't help my wallet! I colored her and cut her out so I could pop dot her. The bird cage was stamped a second time and cut out so it would be just slightly more raised than Tilda. I had a little birdy brad so I added it and I think it is just the perfect little doo dad for this card. The rickrack is actually a sticker. Hope you have a great start to this new week and I will see you soon. Take care!

Hello ~ Happy Saturday to you! Today's card is another one I taught at my stamp class. I think the ladies had fun making it especially with the bright Zing embossing powders. We stamped, embossed & used the cuttlebug embossing folder to add some texture to the background. It was a pretty simple card but it had quite a few "steps". In my class I have seasoned stampers as well as new ones so every card I come up with has to be appealing to both and not too hard for the newer ones. Thanks for paying me a visit today and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Thursday! This is one of the cards we made at the card class I teach. I just love these beach cuties from www.allthatscraps.com. This is a digital stamp that I bought. I like digital stamps because I can print them out in any size. We used a making memories punch for the bottom. I thought this punch was so cute and would go perfect with any of my summery stamps.
On a side note...if you have kids, give them an extra hug today. We have to go to a wake tonight for a 22 yr.old son of my hubby's friend. He was found dead in his apartment and they are not sure what happened. They suspect that he might have been experimenting with drugs. So sad! It will be hard to see him as I have children right around this age. So, squeeze your loved ones & tell them you love them...Life's too short. Until tomorrow, Happy stamping!

Hello ~ As soon as I saw this Tilda I knew what I wanted to do with her! I cut the flower & the leaves with my Cricut and the lines were made with my Scor-it. My summer kit arrived yesterday so I can't wait to ink them up & create. Thanks for looking...have a great day!

Monday, Monday....I can't believe it is Monday again. The week just flew by! Today's card is made with a Stampin Up set called Unfrogettable. I had this card in my stash and pulled it out to share with you. I have been crafting...filling some orders so I don't have a "new" card to share today. I think this card could be given to a child or an adult.

I am headed out for a walk with friends. We walk a little over 2 miles in the park twice a week. I love walking there because we usually see a deer or two and we get to hear the frogs. They sound like someone plucking a string on a guitar. I am grateful for all of God's creation. It is so peaceful there and today is not too hot so it should be a really good walk. Have a good one!

Oh, the lazy days of summer! This image is by Penny Black and I think it is so cute! To be so relaxed and to look cute doing it. Could we ask for anything more? I'm off to take a mid afternoon snooze and recharge my batteries. However I don't have a large daisy to shield me from the sun so I guess I will napping on the couch LOL! Hope you are enjoying this glorious day!
Thanks for stopping by!
