Just spending the day making a few Valentines for friends:

And I am definitely needing to use up some very old patterned paper.

Other papers used are vanilla, autumn rose, and a suede brown. Other things used are Nestabilities, die cuts, embossing folders, ribbon, twine, gems, and pearls, etc. Wasn't sure which way I wanted the layout to be, so I did it both ways. 

Thanks for looking in...

I am entering these cards in several challenges:

Little Red Wagon challenge #587 Total Eclipse of the Heart

and Just Us Girls challenge #570 Valentine

 Just making some Spring cards to have on hand.  

Colored this bird image from Wplus9 - A New Day. - with pencils. Placed it in the center of a shaded oval Nestability and then a lattice die-cut background. Nuvo glitter placed on the berries.

In our yard right now, we have hundreds of berries on bushes called Winterberry Holly - and the bluebirds and robins love 'em. 

I am sharing this with the Inspired By Challenge #159

Thanks for looking in...

Hello folks,

I purchased this Honey Bee stamp set -Snow Buddies - with my cousin in mind...She has a winter birthday next week, and she also displays Grandma's vintage hats in her home. So, I made this card for her.  I love this snowlady's hat. The flowers have Nuvo glitter on them and I put a drop of crystal glaze on the cupcake in her "hand". The rest is.... well.....just cute additions....

I am sharing this card with Little Red Wagon - Challenge #586 - to build a Snowperson

and with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #306 - All about Occasions  

Thanks for checking in....

 I need to make some cards for some Spring birthdays, so when I saw this sketch at The Paper Players : 

I created this:

I used a Gina K Designs stamp set - Sending Love -  which was colored with Copics and Nuvo Aqua Shimmer added to the flowers. The butterfly "flew" in from my stash of stamps. The sentiment was heat embossed. The cardstocks are saffron yellow, white, and black. Love this sketch which has so many possibilities. And now I really am tired of winter and ready for Spring.....

Thanks for visiting....

Hello folks!

Just hanging out in my craft room today, coloring images that were already stamped and cut-out. Trying to "clean out" unfinished projects. I really like this sweet stamp set from Wplus9 - Hello & Thanks -which has the teacup, several small flower bouquets, and 2 birds, so you can arrange images as desired. 

The images were colored with Copics, with Nuvo glitter added to the posies, and the cardstock (Aqua Mist) and the doily die are from Papertrey Ink.

I am sharing this with the Double D Challenge with the prompt of Flowers in Containers.

Thanks for stopping by!

 I haven't been here for a while so I thought I should get busy and enter a card for a couple challenges. My DH birthday is in a few weeks and this card was fun to make :

Just a silly card using a stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs - Moose Love

I really like this Mr. and Mrs. Moose.....

The birthday hat is from my stash of a million stamps....

Sharing this card with Watercooler Wednesday challenge #305

and with The Male Room challenge #146

That's all folks....thanks for looking in!
