Birthday Daisies

Hello, I'm back!! 3rd day in a row? It's been awhile since that's happened! And it would appear I'm on a roll with the color yellow also?? Maybe I'm just trying to brighten up the dreary days of winter?? Although we have been have a pretty mild Winter here so far? Now that I say that.....look out!!

My card today uses a Bugaboo digi. Isn't this little guy just the cutest??! It's colored with Copics and cut out with a Paper Smooches tag die. Topped it off with a paper gingham bow that I made with a SU punch that I borrowed from a friend. Man I should have bought that one! That's it for today maybe I'll be back again tomorrow?! List of Challenges is listed below.

Halloween Kitty

Hello! Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. It uses a digital stamp from Bugaboo called Halloween Kitty. I colored it with my Copic markers. I never bought the drippy goo border punch years ago so i used my icicle punch and tried to round some of the points a bit with my scissors. It sorta gave me the look i was going for?!! Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. Thanks for stoppin by and have a great day!

Good Luck

Hello!! Finally made it back to the stamp room again. I've been enjoying the break, haven't even been online much at all. Sorry if I'm behind on visiting your blog. When I was feeling like I needed to be crafty I went looking for a sketch (my go to for some MOJO!) and found this Stella Says Sketch one. Loved it so had to play! Not sure I like my choice of the ladybug paper but?? Other than that it works! Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the long holiday weekend. Hoping to get inspired to make a few more cards this weekend?!

Cats, Cats and more Cats!

Hello! I had to have another go at the Cat's Lovers Hop. :-)  This time round I'm using a Bugaboo digi stamp called Cute Kitty. I paired it with the current Stella's Says Sketch although I did make mine A2 in size instead of square. The photo below is of just one of my fur babies! That is Sweet Pea aka Sweets. She likes to come in and rub around my legs/feet. I much prefer when she perches up on one of my paper storage boxes. My chair has wheels I'm always afraid I'll catch her legs or tail. Ok that's all for now not sure if I'll be able to squeeze in 1 more cat card tomorrow or not?! Have a great weekend. Challenges are listed below.

Party Pup

Hello! Well I've been on a "guy" card roll this past month it seems?? That's a good thing cause my stash was low and I always seem to struggle more with those?! It's so much easier to make "girly" stuff!! I had bought this 6x6 DVWV pad of paper online and didn't realize that it was a glossy cardstock kinda paper. At first I was really disappointed but after making this card I think it turned out great. Sometimes stepping out of the norm is a good thing I guess?? My pup is a digital image from Bugaboo Stamps, it's part of the Birthday Puppy set. Once again colored with Copics and I added Glossy Accent to his nose. Thanks for stopping by. List of challenges are listed below.

Hello! Today's card uses the cute Bugaboo image called Flower Bird! I colored it with my copics and softly sponged the edges to give it a little more dimension. The whole image layer is raised with foam tape. I left off a sentiment so it could be used for many different occasions.

Spring Daisy

Hello! Well I made time for another card. Knew I had to use this sketch when I saw it, lots of layers just the way I like. My image is from Bugaboo but I can't remember the name and the store seems to be down at the moment due to moving. My ladybugs are flat backed an wooden. I found them at either Jo Ann's or Michael's in their spring crafting section a year or two ago I think? My memory isn't what it used to be! I bought some little bees in the same trip but have yet to use them. That's it for now be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch.

Flower bird

Hello! Today I have a bright an cheerful card to share with you. This little Flower bird from Bugaboo Stamps is a lot of fun to color. I went with a more Spring/Easter look for this one but have started coloring another with the bird done in blue. Maybe for a birthday card sometime?!! I wish I would have went with plain circle brads instead of the flower ones. I think its a bit to flowery but I already had it glued in place an it was to late to change them. I think this is a great sketch for using up little scraps. Thanks for stopping by an be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch! Challenges are listed below.

Party Pup

Hello!! Today I have a cute little boy birthday card to share with you. I'm using an adorable puppy image from Bugaboo Stamps. I colored it with my copic markers.

Hopefully it will bring a smile to some little boys face someday! The challenges I'm entering are listed below. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, it goes by soooo fast!
