Happy 18th

Hello Happy Friday the sun is finally and I do mean finally shining in Ohio. Today I thought I would share this fun, colorful and vibrant card I made for a special little gal who just turned 18. I swiped the paper from Kathy while I was visiting over Easter. The paper is embossed and adds so much to making this card adorable.

The stamp is from MFT. I paper pieced her outfit and colored the remaining using Copics.

I am headed out to experience what it's like to see that bright yellow blob in the sky:)

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Rainy day feel better

Good Morning, I figured I had better see if my account was still active!! For those still hanging in there I have been creating just not sharing much. Last fall I started to rebuild a patio due to rotted wood. I ended up taking it down to the studs and then replacing them. The weather prevented me from completing it and I am happy to say I just painted it YEAH!! .... I still have to put the floor down and do trim around windows after I complete it, I'll have to share some pictures.

I'm not sure how your weather has been but it has rained for weeks around here so today's share is a "rainy day" feel better card I created using a MFT stamp set. Clouds are also dies from MFT. Pattern paper is from American Crafts and called City Parks. The image was colored with copics.

Hoping some sun comes out so the grass can dry up enough to be cut.
Enjoy your day

Happy Valentine's Day

Super quick post since I am late posting and wanted to share one more Valentine card before the day was over. The image is from MFT "Pure Innocence". I used my Spellbinders lacy rectangle to do the edging of the card. The image was colored with my Copic markers to match paper.

Happy Valentine's Day

Oh Yes/No Another Blue Valentine

Hi Everyone, I promise this will be my last blue polka dot Valentine I share with you. This super simple card is just squares I cut to 1 1/4 squares, offset them a tad and stitched them. A simple sentiment was stamped on bottom to finish it off. I decided to add a button to lessen it's plainness. The heart template and paper are both from Lasting Impressions.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your Sunday.

Nice Lazy Day Card

Hi, Just wanted to share a quick card I made. It is perfect for the day as Kathy relaxes from her surgery. She said it was the easiest surgery ever! How nice, I mean if you have to have surgery to begin with, we all hope it will go well.

I have been playing with a lot of polka dot paper lately. I just seem to keep picking it up every time I go to make a card. I also, have started playing with my growing collection of MFT's "Pure Innocence" stamps. Aside from them being adorable, I think the reason I like them so much is they lend themselves to paper piecing so easily. For this card I used "Bedtime Story". The paper is from Daisy Bucket's and called "In the Meadow". I colored it using Copic markers and added some brown and white polka dot ribbon to complete it.

Relax and enjoy your day, thanks for stopping by.

Get Well Kathy!

Soft Valentine's Card

Hi, I did tell you how much I love this Smooth Sailing Paper from Lasting Impressions. Every time I go to make a card I seem to be picking it up. Here is a pretty simple Valentine's card. I stamped the greeting from a company no longer around
(Come Clean Designs) with Color Box French Blue chalk ink. I used L9695 and L9064 templates by Lasting Impressions (Hearts) and mounted them on a piece of white stock embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder.

Thanks for stopping by, stay warm temperatures are in the negative numbers here ...brrrr
