Good morning! Did anyone else hear that rain and wind during the night? That was quite a little storm we had! Hopefully that means today will be nice and sunny, although it's not looking that way.
Good morning....it's Friday!!! A quick post for today, no watercolouring this time. I pulled out this old set from SU called Paint Prints because I saw a card in the store that I liked and I thought to myself ..'I can make that'. So this is sort of my version of what I saw. It's brighter in real life, as bright as you can get using So saffron and mellow moss. Some cinnamon stickles in the middle, ribbon and rhinestones. 
My first Magnolia stamp....I think her name is Tilda! I have been admiring these stamps on other blogs wondering how I could get my hands on some, when lo and behold I came across some at the SGD garage sale! I can't even tell you how excited I was...but I was veeeerrryy excited! (I found out later that you can get them at The Town Scrapper in Petrolia). Can't wait to colour up some more of these cute images.
Thanks for looking. Enjoy your day!
This little cutie was one of my great garage sale finds at SGD. She is mostly water coloured with markers again, but I wanted to do something different with her dress. Paper-piece it!!...brilliant...and easy, may have to do that again. And how about that bow?....made with my handy dandy bow maker that I was ready to throw at the wall until my friend Anja taught me how to use it properly! What are friends for?!!
Thanks for stopping by.
See you tomorrow.
This cute little hedgie is another one of the images watercoloured with markers. I think this card still needs something in the bottom right-hand corner...maybe a sentiment or some trailing roses. 
My daughter Brittany is home from University for the Easter weekend, so we spent some time making cards on Saturday night. I have a lot of coloured images that need to be made into cards, so I worked on that while she indulged her creative self in my 'new' garage sale stamps and paper. I have to laugh at her though, when a card doesn't turn out exactly as she hoped she just shrugs and says....'oh well, I'll give it to a boy!'
I am probably one of the few people that will admit to liking cloudy, raining days. Everyone loves the sun-shiny days when you can get outside....it brightens our mood....and we can see all the dust on the furniture. I love those days too, but then I feel so guilty about sitting in my dark basement at my craft table making cards all day....on a day like today...not so much. So on the agenda for today ~ get some groceries, run some errands, make some cards.
This card I made a while ago, just never posted it.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day.
The lady I work with asked me to make a card for her mother-in-laws 80th birthday. So after some blog searching and checking out the tutorials on Splitcoast I decided to try my hand at an easel card. They are actually quite easy to make, just a lot more 'card' space to fill up. She was pleased with it, and if I'm allowed to say so, so was I.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Goodmorning! This morning I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and singing outside my window. What a beautiful way to wake up. So much better than that flock of crows that sat in the trees last year about this time....with their screeching 'get up, get up'. That made me think of us as people...some of us have beautiful singing voices and then there are those of us who sound like a bunch of old crows!! But God gave us all our voices...and isn't it nice to know that He loves to listen to us sing. It's all beautiful to His ear. So find something to sing about today!! As for the card...Ribbit...ribbitt!!
....but the tulips I like best are the .....tulips in the wooden shoe! ( I think the rhyme goes...'are the two lips in the dark!') Love purple tulips! At our old house we had deep purple coloured tulips and peachy-coral tulips come up every spring. They were so beautiful.
This is just another card for my box at work.
Thanks for looking. Have a great day. Hopefully the rain we are expecting will wash away all the snow....and wash my van at the same time!!
Last week I needed some sympathy cards and since I didn't have any in my stack, it was time to get to work. So I made 4 of this one, mailed the ones I had to and now have a couple for my box at work. The stamp is from SU More Petal Prints, and I used brocade blue and sage shadow ink and paper. The stamping was the easy part...it's all that paper cutting and layer that takes time. But it was time well spent.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day.
An assortment of cards I've been making with the SU set Netherlands that I hope to sell at work. I have some more in the works right now, but they are not quite done. There have been some customers ask if we sell greeting cards....well, now we do!! I have some non-dutch cards to include in my box as well, but I'm hoping these will be a hit with the Dutchies!! Wish me luck!
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
This is one of my favorite SU sets - Pocket Silhouettes, but I don't use it nearly enough. I came across this design while blog-hopping. Love the colour combo and layout, so I had to case it. Somedays, when my own creativity won't create, it's nice to know there are so many others out there to give it that boost it needs. 
I can just hear my friend Anja saying...."c'mon girl, I know you've made some cards, now put them on your blog." Ok, so here is one of them. The past few weeks I have been dealing with pain from a pinched nerve, which is affecting my right shoulder and arm, and of course, I would have to be right handed!! When I first sat down to make a card, my arm was so sore, I almost cried....I couldn't even make a card! Slowly things are starting to ease up (drugs help), and I am spending more time at my craft table. Yay! Now I am off to work for a couple of hours, and then to physio and massage therapy. I've realized pain can really make me feel old. Anyways, thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!!!
Birds of a feather....stamp together! This is such a cute stamp. I love how the two birds in the middle seem to be having quite a chat, while the two on the ends seem to be not paying any attention at all! Or maybe they are the "lookout's"!
I seemed to take forever to make this card. I kept wanting to add things, but the dp was enough in itself, so I settled for some sheer ribbon and rhinestones.
Thanks for looking.
Wanna go for a ride??
