Bonjour

Yeah, I am so excited that I finished up

I used the smaller stamps to create my background 

Once again, I used my Zig Clean Color Markers

to color all my images.  I have been hooked on these

ever since purchasing them from Amazon!

I cut out my sweet girl from the Mon Cheri Die-namics

I also used the Ziz Zag Stitched Oval Stax,

Blueprints 13 and Blueprints 29.

I used lots of Wink of Stella to add sparkle too :)

Thank You #2

Hello,

I am back to share one last project this week :)

This is the Thank You card that I made

for the Producer of the Easter Play at our church.

She did such an amazing job and I know

how many long, hard hours she devoted to ensure

this production was a success,

So once again, I used a simple design,

using elements from My Favorite Things

Blueprints 23 Dies.  The scalloped piece was cut

from the Homespun Gingham Paper Pack,

I inked up the edges with my Prima Chalk Inks.

Next I watercolored some cardstock using

the Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels Crayons

and then die cut the flowers from the

MFT Scribble Roses Die-Namics

I then cut the Scribble Roses Overlay

from white glitter cardstock.

The Thank You Sentiment is from the

Beautiful Blooms Stamps Set

I did not take a pic of the inside, but

I stamped this sentiment on the inside

it is from the Cheerful Blessings stamp set.

Thanks for visiting my blog :)

Thank You #1

Hello and Happy Monday!!

I have had a very busy crafty weekend!!

I will be sharing a few projects 

over the next few days.

First up is a Thank You card I made for the

director of our Church Easter Play,

My husband played a Pharisee in the play

and the director and producer worked alot

of long hours to ensure the play was a success!!

This card is very clean and simple.

I sued several products from My Favorite Things.

Love the Sweet Succulents Stamps and dies.

The succulents they used on the stage were

from the director's house, and I knew 

this set would make the perfect card!

I used the Wonky Windows Die-namics 

to cut out my window.  Then covered the inside

with a piece cut from Calm & Cozy Chevron Paper Pack.

The sentiment is from the Whimsical Greetings stamp set

I colored in my succulent with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Inspired By all the Little Things

Inspiration Photo

Thanks for stopping by!

MERRY

Hello, and happy Tuesday!

I have a super quick clean and simple card to share today

I used the Hero Arts Merry Stamp and Cut

I die cut the Merry out of metallic cardstock.

This card was quick and easy, I made a few

for a card swap this past weekend.

Thanks for stopping by :)

using a Design ID #77549 from the Silhouette Store  

The paper for the purse is from Doodlebug's Hello Sunshine Line

This flower is so pretty and so easy to put together! 

I embossed using the Swiss Dots folder and inked

the edges using my Prima Chalk Edgers.

And now for my project:
My oldest granddaughter Eva turned 18 this month
Here is one of her senior pictures:

She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul
and she is very artistic.  Here is the card I created for her.

I used lots of Prima Product for this card.

I tried to get the Julie Nutting Doll to resemble

my granddaughter in her pictures.  I think

its a fair resemblance!!  I used Prima Color Bloom Spray

and a stencil for the background.  The trim along the side

is also from Prima as are the flowers which I inked

up with my Prima Chalk Edgers to match with the background.

I also added some Prima Glitter Enamel Dots.

Her face is from Peachy Keens Laffy Taffy Assortment.

I used a chalkboard tag for my sentiment and the actual sentiment

if from the Be Inspired Stamp Set, which I stamped in white ink.

I used Bring on the Cake for the sentiment on the inside.

It's Pasture Birthday

Hello and welcome to Day One

of Animal Theme Week over at

Craftin Desert Divas!!

Today I am sharing a card made

with stamps from the latest release.

I love this sentiment from Animal Antics

so I decided to build my card with

this sentiment as inspiration!

I created this cute little scene 

I used a cloud embossing folder from Darice for the sky.

The fence and grass are from Miss Kate's Cuttables

On the Farm file.  I did a little embossing on them too.

I tore some paper, crinkled it up and then inked it

to create ground.  I finished it off with some

Jute String from  3 Girl Jam.

The sweet horse and chicken are

from Punny Farm and the balloons

are from It's All About Zoo

I used my Spectrum Noir markers

to color them in.
