Happy Birthday!

Hi there!

Am posting a birthday card made for a co-worker. I had a different image in mind, but it so happened that I didn't like how I colored it with copic markers. I definitely need more practice with the copics! Anyways, I went with the Serendipity bird cage stamp, which fit for the area.

Also, I posted a couple pictures of SNOW. Yep, all that "white stuff" that we are getting tired of seeing. It was a level 3 emergency for several counties. The county I work in had issued a level 3, so no work for me! Poor hubby had to stay over at work all night and barely could get into the driveway with his truck. He then had the fun job of plowing out all that "white stuff". Our German Shepherd had fun and watched the snow fly. At least someone loves all this SNOW...hehehe! You all take care and keep warm! Thanks for looking! I appreciate any and all comments!

Hi Everyone!

There is a sweet color challenge over at CR84FN13 this week with the colors red, turqoise, and brown! Staying with the "LOVE" theme with my cards lately I decided to get out my Hero Arts and Stampin' Up "LOVE" stamps. Finding the right turqouise and red was a challenge. I decided to pop it with some bright red for the rose as a final touch. I'm still not sure if it looks quite right, but there it is as it is, my card.:-) Hope all of you are doing well. We are anxiously awaiting some blizzard weather beginning tomorrow. I think it's our turn now. We have been lucky that we escaped so many storms that have gone to the east of us. I appreciate any and all comments...thank you! Snuggy up and keep warm....hugssss!!!

Hi there!

A sweet challenge over at Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge this week. It is with a "love" theme. So, am getting a good start on Valentine cards. I thought I'd go with bright colors and use the Hero Arts butterfly stamp. I also got out my SU heart punch and stamped up some sweet hearts. It's a simple card, but I couldn't resist adding some bling and a satin ribbon! Hope you are having a great day! Thanks for looking...take care!
