Birthday and signs of spring!



Hi, Friends!

It turned cold here again in NW Ohio.  The temp right now is 48 degrees.  Is this May?  Ha, what a quick turn in the weather!  And, the weatherman talks about possible snow at the end of the week?  It's time to fire that guy, lol!  We had a wonderful warm day on Sunday.  We enjoyed the warm weather and walked in one of our favorite places at the Hayes Center in my home town.  Anyway, today I have a birthday card for a niece and photos of the signs of spring around my house.  I'm entering the below birthday card over at Stamplorations.



For my card, I started with a white card base and used a stencil from Altenew.  Distress inks of Mustard Seed and Lucky Clover were applied.  The flowers are from Altenew, also.  I colored them with copics.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  The gems are from Ink Road.  It's difficult to see, but I added Wink of Stella on the flowers and different areas on the background.





Even though the weather turned cold again, the view outside my windows shows signs of spring...







Baby Robins!


Ok, friends, that's all for now!  If you have warm weather where you are, please send some this way....please...lol!  Take good care...stay safe!  And, thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-May 2020!





Hi, Friends!

Happy May 1st!

It's time for our monthly planner reveal for Paper Sweeties!

There are no new stamp sets in May.  But, we will be featuring ALL Sweeties dolls and outfits.  We will have a MONTH LONG special:  BUY 3 DOLL AND/OR OUTFIT STAMP SETS GET ONE FREE!  (This sale does NOT include Sweet Cuts dies).  Customer must leave name of FREE set they want in comment section of order form on our website.  NO LIMIT to how many sets you can earn for FREE - you'll get 1 FREE stamp set for every 3 that you pay for.  Come over and check out the sale!  I can't say I have a favorite Sweetie doll...Madison, Abigail, Emma, and even Jake are all so cute and sweet!!!




My planner isn't a full planner due to the restrictions from the coronovirus. I know it's important for continued safety.  Our state is slowly opening up businesses today.  I'm sure there will be lots of changes, continued masks, and social distancing.

One thing I am looking forward to is planting flowers and getting out in the warm sunshine!  I have a flower theme for my planner this month!  How about you?  Do you plant lots of flowers or maybe even a garden?

Madison is wearing her garden outfit with her frog friend.  Her outfit, flowers, basket, and frog are from the set I pick you.

I have another post today, so please scroll down to see my DRU card.

Here is a closer view of the first page...



And, now a closer peek at my second page...

I hope you

Dies R Us Challenge 5-1-20!(Seas the Day-Water Themed)




Hi, Friends!

Happy May 1st!  And, it's the first challenge of the month for Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme is (water)  We ask that you use at least one die on your project.  Come and join the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate!  Enjoy creating!





I decided to make an underwater scene with the Lawn Fawn cute images!   For my card, I started with a white card base and made the background using zig markers.  I wanted more shine to the background, so I added Nuvo Glitter Accents, Fresh Snowfall.  PTI Rain Stones were added in several places to appear as bubbles.  The images were colored with copics.  And, the sentiment is from Paper Sweeties-Sea you soon.  




I just love the inside sentiment with the clam, so fun and cute!!

All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!



 There are so many choices at the Dies R Us store!  Hope you check out the store for  amazing selection of dies, stamps, papers, inks, etc.!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge...happy creating!

Would you like more inspiration?  Check out some amazing creations from my talented teammates!
