You're a hoot!!!

That's the sentiment on my card using my set from Kim Hughes. I love her owls. . .and all of her birds. I hope to play around with some more bird stamps this weekend.

Sorry the picture is a little crooked. The first shot I took was blurry. Anyways. . .I colored it all in with my Copic markers. The ribbon is from a pack I got on QVC. . .long time ago. It's about time I used it. Think I'm going to send this to a friend who always makes me laugh!!

And this second card is from two sets from Paper Trey Ink. . .Green Thumb and Everyday Blessings. Amy R. inspired me with her card here. Isn't her's pretty with those colors??!! I love how she stamped the words over the boot so that's what I did. . .just wish it was a little darker so you could read it better. But here's my card:

Think I'm going to whip up a few more of these because I love this color combo. . .Cool Carribean, Vintage Violet and Groovy Guava. The ribbon is some I found on clearance at Target from their Club Wedd stuff. Thanks for the challenge Amy and for the inspiration!!

How about 3 more cards!

How's this for a comeback. . .3 more cards to make 4 for today!!

These are cards that I made a set of them for my son's teachers for teacher appreciation week. Just some random sets. . .but it was fun to do something simple for them!

This one I just used a stamp from the Little Bit of Happiness hostess set. . .colored it in with my Stampin' Up markers and matted it very simply. Clean and simple!


This one is from I forgot what set and I'm too lazy to go look it up. But I colored these in using my aquapainter and the re-inkers for mroe intense color. I stamped on watercolor paper too. I love watercoloring! It's relaxing to me!

This one I wish I had played with a little more. I love the stamp from Verve Visual and the sentiment. . .it just looks a little plain. Maybe a little more on the background?? Anyways, they were simple and fairly quick to make which was nice.

Let's see if I can keep the posting streak up!

I'm back?????

Well. . .not sure how much I'll really post. I haven't started out too great. But I thought I'd try again to post some things, at least once a week. How does that sound??

Let's see. . .what should I show you? How about the Fiesta invitations that I made for my son's auction basket at school.
Not the best lighting. I took it at night. But it was fun to make. I even added glitter to the rim of the glass for the salt! I'm loving the Tart and Tangy stamp set!

Watch for some more posts!

Thank you's

Since I took pictures of these, I thought I'd post these as well. These are the thank you's I made to send for our Christmas presents. One of my presents was a set of the circle Nestabilities. I LOVE them! I've seen so many other bloggers use them and I really wanted these. So my husband bought me the circles for Christmas. I use them with my Cuttlebug.

I colored in my image with Stampin' Up's markers and then did the grey outline using my Copic markers. The "thank you" words are from the new Level 2 Hostess set Spring Solitude. And the paper is from the designer prints pack. Very simple, but I love how it turned out!

Happy New Year. . .10 days late

Hello there. I'm going to try and update this more regularly. . .we'll see how I do. I wanted to post a card made with the new Time Well Spent. . .a Level 3 hostess set that all demos received for free. I like the set. . .it's just my style.

I kept this pretty simple. It was made for a friend. I stamped the flower three times as well as the stem. I watercolored them using my Aqua Painter. I got some of the new Bali Breeze designer paper and used that behind my image as well as the Purely Pomegranate ribbon. I like this color combo: Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava and Taken with Teal. Try it out and see what you can do!
