A Good Haul!

Hi girlfriends,

I am visiting my friend Wendy in Michigan and having the best time!  We just spent the day shopping in scrapbooking stores all afternoon.  What could possibly be better than that?  I'll tell you what, getting to come home and play with all your new toys.  Wendy and I had some time to explore my new Silhouette Cameo and tomorrow we plan on spending some more time getting better acquainted!  I'll be sure to fill you in all our findings when we're done!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the new and exciting challenge over at the Though the Craftroom Door Challenge Blog with a little inspiration here from me.  Thanks for popping in!

You Make my Heart Soar!

Hi friends,

It's that time again to join me in a fun and exciting challenge over at the Outlawz Friday Copic Challenge Group.   The theme this week is Balloons.  However you want to interpret it is up to you and your creativity.  Here is my card for some inspiration.

 

Our sponsor this month is Mayzy Arts, her work is wonderful.  I would encourage all of you to have a look,  I'm positive there will be one you can't live without!! This card is called a side step card and you can find a great tutorial on how to make one here.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Swing on by and inspire me with your creations!  Thanks for stopping by!

One More Sleep!

Hello to all my friends,

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve night!  I am going to Michigan to see one of my best friends tomorrow for a weekend of girl time!  I can't wait, I have a few loose ends to tie up, before I leave, and then I'll be ready to go.  Remember to join me tomorrow for our new Copic challenge over at the Outlawz.  Stop by here for a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing!

Thanks for stopping in!  One more sleep Wendy and our weekend begins!!

My Own Little Paradise!

Hello There,

I had the greatest day today!  After getting the girls off to school I got to play in my craft room all day!  It sure is amazing how time flies when your having fun!  I had some cards to get ready for the upcoming challenges at The Outlawz and my newest gig at Through the Craftroom Door.   I am thrilled to be joining their Design Team and hope you will come by to check it out!  

That's all for me today, thanks for checking in!

Friendship!

Hello to all my friends,

I had a little time last night to put together a card for you with my new stamp and punch set by Stampin up and my newest Marianne die.

The papers are by BoBunny called 'Welcome home'.  The sentiment is also by Stampin up.  I embossed the bird, his wing, the branch and the sentiment.  I used some blue rhinestones to line his cage and dressed it up with a big shiny satin bow!  Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Homeward Bound!

Hi friends,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with  lots of good food with friends and family and my favourite, chocolate!!  We are heading home after a great long weekend at the cottage and hoping that the great weather follows us home!  I always have so much to do when I first get home that it's not my favourite time but by the third day home I feel like I'm back in the groove!  I hope you'll join me tomorrow for one of my newest creations!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bunny Hugs!

Hi Friends,

Happy Easter everyone!  Was the Easter bunny good to you?  He sure made a great appearance here!  A day full of sugar and energy expected in this cottage today, that's for sure!  This is my Easter card for my hubby and I would like to share it with all of you!

This is a Magnolia image that has been stamped with memento ink on nennah cardstock and coloured with copics. The papers are by My Minds Eye. The mat around her is by SB and the border punch is by EK Success.  I punched out flourishes from the DP and used pink rhinestones to decorate the tips. The sentiment is by SU and I used their punches to mat it on and added to gems for colour.  I added stickles to the frill on shirt, her wings and the bow in her hair. I had to add lots of colour to her cheek because some colour from the inked image on the back started to show through so I couldn't blend it anymore for fear it would come through. Lastly, I used a bow to tie it all together!

Remember the reason for this season!

John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”  I know I sure do!
