Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a card that I made for my niece's birthday!  I didn't put a birthday sentiment on the front for I didn't want to cover up the image.  I started with coloring the new lilac image from Hero Arts with copics.  I used Nuvo drops in yellow for the center of the flowers.  I haven't used Nuvo drops in ages!  The background panels were die cut using dies from Emily Moore.  A bow and gems to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at NBUS Challenge  and Four Seasons Challenge.

It turned cold again today.  Yesterday it was in the 80's.  It's now only 58 degrees.  Hubby took me to a favorite place after my PT session today.  It was great to get out and enjoy delicious food!  

My yellow iris flowers are in full bloom and look very pretty!  Hubby planted geraniums for me in our big pots around the house.  The dark red color looks beautiful!  It's great to see all the lovely color around the yard again!  We've been seeing a hummingbird come to the feeder and it's been so fun watching it!

Ok, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Have a great rest of the week, take care!

Hugs!

Thank you!

Hi, Friends!

It's been almost three weeks since I've been here on  my blog.  I had surgery on 4-28 and am coming along well.  I got the staples out today and it feels much better!  Thank you for your prayers, support, and cards!  It's appreciated!

Above is a card that I made before my surgery.  It is a thank you card that I gave to my physical therapy guy who came to the house for two weeks.  The sentiments are from Sunny Studio and the stars are from Creative Worship(formerly Sweet 'n Sassy).  Twine and gems to finish the card.  

Next up,  a card that I sent to a friend...

I made the above card several week ago.  The images and sentiment are from Lawn Fawn.  Those cute butterflies make me smile!  The clouds and sun are from Spellbinder's.  Gems to finish this card.

Beautiful days are coming for this weekend.  The temps will be in the 80's.  I'm ready for some warmer weather.  I hope to sit out on the deck and enjoy some sunshine!  

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Take care and have a good rest of the week!

Hugs!

You Grow Girl!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for my sister for her birthday.  She loves to garden and grow flowers!  She takes after my Mom with having a green thumb!  All images, sentiments, frame, and grass die are from Lawn Fawn.  The clouds are from Spellbinder's.  Gold dots and some gold spray to finish the card.  I was inspired by Elena Roussakis when I saw her card using the cute images.  I knew the card would be perfect for my sis, so I couldn't resist purchasing the stamp set.  

Here is the card by Elena Roussakis...

Ok, friends that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by!  Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

I made a simple shaker birthday card for a nephew.  I used the fun birthday wishes die from Pretty Pink Posh and filled it with gems from Pink Fresh.  The background was die cut using a die from The Greetery.  Iridescent White Cord from Simon Says to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at

Seize The Birthday.

I didn't think I'd say this so soon in April, but it is too hot, lol!  It reached 83 here yesterday.  It is warm and humid.  We may have some storms late this evening.  It feels tropical.  For the weekend, it will drop back down to the 50's.  Signs of spring are everywhere and I love seeing that the weeping cherry tree has bloomed.  I can view it out my craft room window, so pretty!

Ok, my friends, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great rest of the week!  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by today!
