Hi there!

Hope you all are doing well on this fine Wednesday evening! I entered a card for Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge. I was thinking spring colors. A little blue, green, and yellow. Am looking forward to spring, aren't you? I can't wait to see the first robin and hear the birds sing! So, as you see I went with a bird image and some musical paper. I stamped the bird image on canvas and gave it some more dimension with some lovely soft felt I recently purchased from PTI. I tried to soften the card up with yarn, pearls, sewing, and distressed the edges.

Frigid temps here tonight. I think settling down with a warm cup of cocoa is on the menu here. Thank you for taking a peek and adding any comments! Take care and keep warm!

The Shabby Tea Room-Week #47-"Get Creative"

Happy Sunday!

As the weekend comes to a close, I had fun staying at home yesterday and making another card. We got more snow again with a level 2 for the county. So, going out shopping for more craft supplies for me was a "no-no". But, there is always time for that, right? :-) This card is for http://www.theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/ The challenge is asking for one to "get creative" with no patterned paper allowed and your own handmade embellishments.  I kept the card simple.  The background was stamped with one of my favorite Inkadinkadoo stamps.  I used my blender pen to fill in the butterflies with SU inks.  The flower was made with coffee filters and sponged on Ranger Inks.  I couldn't help but add a few blings around the flower and on the butterflies.  This was a fun challenge for me to think outside the box.  And I enjoyed looking at all the entries...so many lovelies!  Thank you, Shabby Tea Room!

Hi Again!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to attempt the challenge over at Play Date Cafe this week because so many colors! But, lots of wonderful inspiration from the designers! I was greatly inspired by Andrea Ewen's card with the fabric frame, and framed some lace on my card. Thank you, Andrea! My card is a simple card with just a tad of pink, but have all the other colors. I was happy to find in my stash the burgundy ribbon. I believe it's off of a Christmas present that I knew I'd use some day. Hope you are having a great day! It's a sunny one here in NW Ohio, so that's a good thing. I appreciate any and all comments! Take care!
