Happy Birthday!



Hi, Friends!

How are things with you on this fine Tuesday afternoon?  I decided to use some neglected supplies and bring out my zig markers to water color the above card.  I also used distress sprays of yellow, gold, and white.  I believe I was heavy-handed with the yellow spray.  The spray really does have a mind of its own at times, lol!  Anyways, I was happy with the gold embossing of the pretty flowers from Creative Worship Stamps formerly called Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  The sentiment is from MFT.  Gems were added to finish the card.

It was fun getting out today with going to our hair appointments and having lunch afterwards.  Making the above card this afternoon was fun, too.  Now it's time to do some work around here.  The laundry is calling so I'll scoot for now.  

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful evening!

Hugs!

Thinking of you!



Hello!

Popping in quick to share with you a card I made for a friend to cheer her up after she had surgery.  I just love the background tulip die, which is from Pink Fresh Studio.  The scallop oval frame is from Newton's Nook and the tulip dies are from Pretty Pink Posh.  The tulips were colored using distress inks.

I'm entering this card over at The Four Seasons Challenge.



I'm also entering this card over at Darnell's I.D.E.A.S Challenge




I want to get back into my craft room soon, but I'm working on organizing and cleaning my copic markers.  I had to take a break from it for it is a big job since I have so many markers.  

A little other cleaning around the house with the linen closet and junk drawer.  I'd rather be crafting than cleaning, right?!

Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you all have a great rest of the week!  Thanks so much for dropping by, take care!

Hugs!

Happy Spring!



Hi, Friends!

I thought I'd drop in quick to share with you a couple spring decorations that I made.  I bought the small wall hanging from Hobby Lobby and got to work with a pretty panel from Bella Blvd.  The die cut script spring was made using an Echo Park die.  The butterflies were punched using a Martha Stewart punch.  Sequins from Gina K to finish the little decoration that I'll be giving to my friend, Pat, when I meet her for lunch on Thursday.

Next up, is a decoration for Easter that I made using retired Paper Smooches images.



All images are from Paper Smooches except for the butterfly.  The grass was made using a die cut from MFT.  

I'm enjoying the day here in my craft room looking out at the trees that are budding.  Spring is just around the corner.  I can hardly wait to see the spring flowers bloom.  Take care and have a great rest of the week!



Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Patrick's!!!



Hugs!

Happy Birthday!





Hi, Friends!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card I made for a great nephew.  This card was so easy to make.  Lots of fun stickers and colorful paper for this birthday card.  The paper and stickers are from Echo Park.  

I've had some trouble with my computer and email.  I don't understand it at times and I wish I did.  My son is coming up this weekend, so I hope he can figure it out.  One good thing about this week is the weather.  We may even hit the 70's by Friday...yeah!  A friend of ours has a birthday on that day, so it will be a great day to go out.  My hubby's bday is tomorrow.  We will be celebrating both at the same time.  We are looking forward to it!

Well, not much else going on around here.  I hope you have a great rest of the week, take care!

Hugs!
