Daffodil Days

Hello! Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you. It helped that the adorable little House Mouse image was already colored. It's actually been awhile since I've colored anything? I tend to go thru spurts where I set and color or take stuff with me to color if I'm going to be somewhere that I have to sit and wait. Anyway it's nice to have a box of all ready colored images on hand and ready to go! I used Avery Elle Wonky Stitched dies to cut out my image and the background paper. Added some rain drop embellishments over top the image and some rhinestones to the corners. Topped it off with a paper bow. And even today's card has a touch of yellow!! LOL But......thinking tomorrow's won't?!! ;-) Anyway that's it for today and thank you for stopping by!

Morning Kick Start

Hello! Dusted off an oldie this morning to try an get another card in for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop before it ends. I used a Stampabilities House Mouse stamp called Morning Kick Start. I paper pieced the mug and colored it with a combo of my Copics and my Prisma colored pencils. I just can't get fur to look right with the markers or skin tones to look good with pencils but I'm happy when I use the combo of the two! Used more of my beloved Lawn Fawn plaid paper, hope they keep making it. Love how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by your visits/comments make my day!

Deer Dad

Hello!! Another Father's Day card for you today. I Love using this stamp cause I think it looks so nice with no coloring? Actually that's the only way I have ever used it! This sketch works out great for this image. Think I will make 1 or 2 more just like this but with  a birthday sentiment?! Good way to build up my stash! I went with a vintage look for my card, with some distressing and a monochromatic color scheme. I've decided it's time to look for a "Dad" die cut, I think that would have looked nice on this card. I masked off this Dad sentiment from a larger sentiment stamp. Ok that's it for now so glad you stopped by, I enjoy reading all your comments. Challenges are listed below.

Lilac Bear

Hello! One of my favorite things in spring is Lilacs! I just love the smell of them. My Mom has a bush and cuts me a vase full every year. With all the warm weather we've been having here in south central PA they are liable to be blooming early this year! Hopefully they don't get froze out if the nice weather doesn't stay.

My card uses a older wooden "Gruffies" stamp called Lavender Bouquet by Stampabilities. Which it now seems is sold by Stampendous as a cling mount and called Lilac Bear??! Either way it's a cute stamp! I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. I used my most used go to embossing folder swiss dots. Love that folder! Mine is getting well used so I bought a back up for when this one gives out an eventually breaks(it's getting very weak at the seam). I added a MFT Banner die cut topped with a button an tied with a bakers twine bow. I also used a PTI Doily die. This card makes me smile! Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!

Favorite Peep

Hello! My husband and I went out to dinner the other night and Hobby Lobby just happened to be across the street. I was able to talk him into going over! I usually save those trips for when I'm by myself so I don't have to rush! ;-)  This adorable little chick stamp just had to come home with me, isn't he cute??! I paper pieced the shell and paired him with this weeks Freshly Made Sketch. Although mine are never as CAS as theirs. I did end up putting the sentiment on a banner. I just didn't have a small one that worked for under the bottom panel, my Easter sentiments are very limited! Guess that means I can shop right?!! LOL Ok that's all for now hopefully I'll be back again tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your weekend! List of challenges are listed below.
