You make me HAPPY

Good morning everyone!

Sweet sweet spring, Kind of wondering right now where it may be? Sometimes I think it's not coming but then there is a beautiful day like yesterday and I still have hope!

We all know that spring is known for it's rain and all of it's beauty that comes with it. Just a few weeks ago everything here was still brown and dead and with a little rain and a bit of sunshine all looks green again!

My sweet little girl is making her own rain for her flower. I just picked up this Digi from Mo's digital pencil and had to play with her right away. My papers are from a sweet stack from heidi grace and I added a touch of crystal effects on the flower pot for a nice shimmer and shine!

I hope everyone finds a little sunshine in there day today!

Happy Mail

Hi everyone!

It's amazing how time flies!I can not believe it's been an entire month again since I have posted anything. I have been up to little projects here and there in my free time and burning the midnight oil to get some fun things finished. With these two little boys running around, I have to take the time when I can. Somehow someway I will get myself back on schedule..As they get older and naps become predictable, I thing free time will get a little easier to come by!

As for today, I had some time this morning to make a little goody from Tiddly Inks. I just love Wryn. She is one of my favorite digi stamps and I am super happy I picked this one up! I love sending snail mail just for fun and this is the perfect stamp and sentiment, I know I will use it over and over!

Enjoy everyone..I will try and bring more creations soon..Or catch up on some pics of some I have been working on all month :)

Super Saturday Sketch # 46

Happy weekend everyone. Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday but the day just somehow got away from me..I am sure everyone can relate :)

I have a fun sketch for you today. My main image is really the focal point of this card and not all of the layers with it. I love how all the layers stand out on their own but don't take anything from the actual image itself.

I am not sure if it shows up well, but the card is filled with lots of glitz. I used Martha Stewart's tinsel glitter for the snow and added Dazzling diamonds to all of the fluffy parts of their coats. Super Sparkly fun :)

As for my image..It's a wonderful image from Karen's Doodles called "first snowfall". If you love it..You can click here to get it yourself. I am also entering this card in the Karen's Doodles Diva contest this period. You can win free images just by submitting your card. If you are interested in trying it out, click here and you can get directly to the doodle diva blog. Karen's doodles is full of fun designs..I hope you take the time to look at them.

As always..If you get a chance to use my sketch, I would love to see your card..Just leave me a link!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend everyone.

Happy Holidays!

Good morning everyone. I have another holiday card to share with you today. I decided to switch it up again today with a long card. 8 1/2 X 33 3/4 is the finished size. I used another image from Pink cat studios digi stamps. It's called simply "Betty and snowman decorating tree". You can take a peek and grab it here if you would love to have it yourself. I actually took advantage when I purchased it to buy the whole set at a discounted amount. They have great value packs and it's like getting stamps for free. If you think you will use the whole set, I would take advantage of it. It's hard to see but I have added some dazzling diamonds to the snowman and tinsel on the bottom for snow. Enjoy and I hope you are getting inspired to make a few holiday cards of your own.

Warm Wishes

Todays card is inspired by 2 cute rubber stamps. They were generous enough to feature me on their blog this week with my "Somebunny Loves You" card so I wanted to make something using their designs. I love this fun polar bear with his friend eating ice cream. All my papers are from my scrap pile..I am trying to use them a lot this week! Its hard to see but I used some crystal effects on the droplets of ice cream and some stickles on the scarf and the cherries. I also added some black souffle pen to my penguin.

Enjoy and check out 2 cute rubber stamps if you get a chance..they have some fun designs, both digital and rubber!

Copic Colour Challenge #60 Ahoy Matey!

I had so much fun with this one. This is one of Mo's new digital images you can get at her store . The girl is first mate Kate and the barrels are from a background set called pirate stuff. I just loved it and had to have it right away..I am sure she appreciates that! I think I am slowly getting hooked on these digital images. I never knew how much fun they could be by changing sizes and layering.

The copic colors chosen this week were really perfect for this image..It was so funny to me how they fell into place just a day apart. I love the colors and I know I will be using this combo again. I see a beach scene with tropical fish in my future! I think it would be a great combo for something like that..And who can resist tropical fish!

Some Bunny Loves You

Thank you 2 cute rubber stamps for another amazing deal on a FREE digi stamp! What a great stamp just in time for Easter! I have had such a hectic schedule that I finally was able to get to using this fun little bunny. Click here and head on over if you want to try your hand at this bunny, or they have lots of great stamps to purchase too! The saying is a hand made rub on. Just design a saying, mirror it in your text box and print it on a clear transparency..the glossy side.. then transfer it to your paper. Sometimes it runs for me, so transfer first then adhere to your project so you don't ruin it. Best part is, You can just wipe off your transparency then use it again.
