Mudpie, Amanda & Muzzy

Good morning! I’m sharing a sweet card I made with a new Spellbinders House Mouse Designs image. Mudpie, Amanda and Muzzy are just the cutest and they are sending along a loving thinking of you greeting today.

This card uses the image RSC-021, We Heart You and comes with this sweet image and the Thinking of You sentiment. Adorable!

Honor Flight Recognition

Today’s card is for this week’s Teapotter’s challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.com. We are sending cards to a veteran who is going on a Honor Flight to Washington DC. I love this set from Polkadot Orchard, America My Hero. I colored the image with Copics and used a trio veneer stars. I used a Cuttlebug star embossing folder for my background.

Spring Vibes

I’m so excited to see the spring season upon us. It feels so refreshing and abundant! Opal and I walk around the yard daily now noticing things coming up through the earth. Jonquils and crocus so far. A few small tree buds.

Today a few of my cards are even spring themed…

Alpha themed card, LOG. My background paper has a wood grain pattern.

Alpha theme: NERF. These little bunnies are foam stickers that remind me of the material of nerf balls that my son has for some of his Nerf guns! 🙂 Shh, I stole the bunny stickers from my 9-year-old daughter’s huge collection of craft goodies! 😉

This is for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Technique challenge to use the Pencil Indenting technique. For me this added texture, more than a color difference, and I’m ok with that. This lil’ duck is super cute and happy about warm and happy spring days!

This is for the Splitcoaststampers Tuesday Teapot Party challenge to use balloons.

This Halloween card inspired by our Alpha challenge this week: OPERATION. As in the old childhood game of Operation! I dug out my Halloween stamps and found this old set from TAC! I added little hearts with hand written broken lines drawn on them! 😉

And this final card is for yet another Alpha challenge: MONSTERS and for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge.

Thank you for stopping by! Take a moment to enjoy the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air and soak up some sunshine perhaps if you are lucky. Take good care and keep well.

This week’s creative progress

Hello, hello! Spring is definitely “springing” around here. The sap is flowing and I’m keeping the sap boiling during the day to keep ahead a bit with our small hobby farm operation! I LOVE it! We just used up our last jar of syrup last week, so it’s TIME. A walk around the yard brought my attention to the early bulbs popping up through the ground. So amazing.

Here are a few cards from this week:

Theme: Inflatables

Theme: Kites

Splitcoaststampers CAS challenge to keep warm as so many of our snow birds (people!) do when they head south (beaches) or out to Arizona for the winter season. And also for the Teapotter’s challenge, Beatles song inspiration, Here Comes The Sun was my song to be inspired by.

Thank you for stopping by!

A Quick Catch Up

I’m going to do a quick catch all, catch up! The last few weeks have been very out of routine and schedule with weather causing a weekly snow day and the last week having a holiday and a snow day! Today is a grey, rainy Monday and I’m sipping some coffee while I catch up on my blog!

Valentine Gnomes that went out by the dozens from me. From Taylored Expressions.

Theme: Candy Land

Theme: Dominoes

Theme: Bicycle

Theme: Easy Bake Oven

Theme: Hot Wheels

I made this card for guest designing on last week’s Free 4 All challenge: Geometric Shapes

Thank you for stopping by! Kiddos are home from school and doing their crazy snacking….they come home starving every day!!

A Trio of Challenge Cards

Hello, hello! This week I made about 10 cards and it felt amazing! A productive and chatty zoom with friends always helps! 🙂

I will share a few at a time!

My first card was made for an Alpha Sisters theme challenge to be inspired by GI Joe. This made me think of camo colors, which made a delightful masculine birthday card!

This card was made for the Coffee Filter Print technique challenge and the non traditional Valentine CAS challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.com this week. I love how soft the background turned out with the coffee filter print technique.

My last card was made for this week’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers and our Alpha sisters “A” challenge to use the alphabet letters on our card.

Thank you for stopping by!

Gather Around

Today I’m catching up and sharing several Thanksgiving cards I made with the Polka Dot Orchard Thankful For All Things Good Pooh digitail set. It’s an adorable table full of sweet friends enjoying a meal together. This set is on sale for $6 right now!

This if the full Thankful For All Things Good set,

Veterans Day Gratitude

Today I’m thankful for our veterans and their service and sacrifices. I love that our schools have programs that include our community veterans. It brings so much awareness to our children.

I made this card with America, My Hero from Polka Dot Orchard.

You Are Never Too Old

Ha! You are never too old to beg for candy….but my add on is you MUST be dressed up! I need to check in with my two littles and see what they are thinking for costumes this year!

I love this spunky image and fun sentiment! So fun, Halloween is SOOO fun. I used the Candy Corn Witch set. I fussy cut the candy corner for a border. I would love such a fun costume like hers!
