Gorgeous Sunday!

I wish the weather could be like it is today everyday!  Mark had baseball this morning it was so nice to sit in the sun.  Hope everyone had a good weekend, I was on a blue green kick!!

Sweetest Wee Suzi digi.  I love this paper I don't even know what line it is I have had it so long but this is the last of my bits and pieces of it that I had left.  Colored with Copics.  I punched out a bunch of the little flowers, the white sparkly flower was actually from a Christmas set, layered it with a felt flower and button.  I've had these cute colored safety pins forever and didn't really have a clue what to do with them and I saw something on Pinterest (of course lol) that had the beads on it and remembered how we used to do that and put them on our sneakers!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Spring?

We had a few days of gorgeous weather and then back to freezing nights - I am ready for some warm weather!  Lately it seems we go right from winter to summer.  So I mentioned last weekend I had been doing some different kind of crafts, I have become obsessed with felt!

As per usual back picture, tried outside this time!  So I made this heart ornament, I am terrible with using my sewing machine but I enjoy hand stitching these.  There is so much inspiration out there I have found some awesome stuff on Pinterest.  Hope you like it!

Quiet Saturday

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post - it's been busy!  My daughter has a lovely stomach bug so she has been laying around for two days.  I feel so bad for her and I'm not going to lie I'm also hoping I don't get it!  So it's quiet here today, she's sleeping on and off and Mark is out working on a mower so I got to have some craft time!

I used this beauty of a Wee Stamps digi.  Colored with Copics, flowers are from Wild Orchid.  The lace is from my gram's house, when we cleaned it out I found some of her sewing stuff and this lace was in it.  Still struggling with photos, I bought another lamp and some Ott light bulbs and was basically standing on my head trying to get a clear shot.  Sigh....hope everyone is having a good weekend I have some new crafts to share with you but I think I'm going to head outside to get a good picture!  Will upload something later.  Hugs!!

Happy Easter, Passover!

I was lucky to have yesterday off so my plan to hide in my craft room all day which I did..sort of...I get "sidetracked" very easily and something got in my head that I needed to re-organize my buttons and brads.  I have about 15 of those plastic jewelry/bead storage containers.  So I decided to sort my buttons by color and put them in mason jars.  I enlisted my daughter and we spent a couple hours going through everything and I'm happy that everything is more organized.  I am a neat freak and it makes me happy to have organization!  So needless to say I didn't spend as much time crafting as I wanted to but I did get a couple cards done.

Love this sweetie from Sylvia Zet.  Colored with Copics, floral paper is Doddlebug.  The leaves I cut with my new Meadow Leaf die, flowers are Wild Orchid and the little corner piece and buckle are Close To My Heart (re-discovered them while organizing lol).  Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

High Hopes Guest Designer

So I was so excited to win the High Hopes Challenge and be asked to be the guest designer for this week's Dots & Stripe's Challenge.  Here's my card:

You can tell I'm anxiously waiting for warm weather!  We had more snow yesterday and it's cold!  I've had enough now.  Hope everyone is having a good week.  I'm hoping to go see Oz this weekend!

Waiting For Spring

After a foot of snow last Friday we had three days of 50 degree weather, got spoiled, now we are back to low 30's and I woke up this morning to find it snowing.  I'm so done with winter.  So I made myself a pretty, bright, Easter card!

Image is Lili of the Valley (which I'm waiting for my latest order to arrive!!), colored with Copics.  The paper is Doodlebug and all the flowers are from Wild Orchid.  Ok off to drag myself to work happy Thursday!

Time Change

I don't know about you but this time change messes me up.  I set my alarm way early this morning so hopefully I will fall asleep tonight.  Spent most of the day in my craft room yesterday while re-watching the first season of The Walking Dead (best show ever!!!).

Made this card with the new acrylic set from Penny Black Chick to Chick.  I'm so happy these are available through Penny Black I was so sad when Elzybells closed down.  I've mostly be a lazy bum today, got everything done early so we could hang out on the couch and watch the race.  Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

High Hopes Clarabelle And Riley

High Hopes remains one of my most favorite stamp companies and I really love their "farm" stamps.  I've used Clarabelle and Riley for this card.

I colored this with Copics.  I took some twine and twisted it around, it's glued down with crystal lacquer and then I added the brads for a little extra support!  I'm entering this in High Hopes "Anything Goes" Challenge.  Hope everyone is having a good week.

Almost Friday!

Yay.  I hate that I wish the week away but I'm pretty excited tomorrow is Friday.  It's been a super busy work week so I'm looking forward to a couple days off.

Made this card with a LOTV cutie.

Colored with Copics, flowers are Wild Orchid, lace is Stamping Up.  Paper is from a DVWV (I think lol!) paper pack.  Hope everyone is having a good week.  I'm entering this in 7 Kids "Anything Goes" Challenge.

Enjoying My Day

I haven't been as crafting productive as I thought I was going to be (one of my downfalls is watching scary movies while I craft and I get distracted heehee).  I'm trying to dedicate more time to challenges and 7 Kid's current challenge is Happy Birthday.  I didn't feel like using a digi so I dug around in my stamps and came across this long forgotten Whipper Snapper stamp.  I don't own a lot of their stamps but this one sure is a cutie!

This is a larger image and I was happy with the card without any embellishments.  Colored with Copics, added some sprinkles to the cupcake and cake with my Ice White Pearl Pen (love these things).  Put some Gold Glitter Liner on the slice of cake and added lacquer to the cherry and the heart on the apron.  Paper is Cupcakes from BasicGrey.  Thanks for stopping by!
