Very Bright!


This card took me forever! I recieved the cute penguin stamp as a gift from Loreen. Isn't he cute! I knew I had to do him up good. Make him look like summer and fun! I'm not sure who he is by, not doing good in the memory dept today! This card is layered and layered. Totals 7 layers on the card! I cut each square out of my NEW square nesties. Added the dots, sponged some ink, the little flowers in the 2 small panels are by Studio G. Ribbon is from Stamping Bella. This was a fun card to do. If you've never been to Stamping with Markies Mom, I suggest you go and check her blog out. The link is on the side of my blog. She just does awesome work with the dots and colors! Breathtaking really!! So this card is "cased"! My colors are not even close how she can bring her colors to life.
I did have fun with this one, it's the dots that take forever! You don't want them to smear so you have to let them dry before you go on!
Thanks for looking.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

A Bee in my Bonnet


Playing the other day, well practicing my coloring! I can not remember for the life of me who this stamp is by, but I know it is cute! I think the most fun I had with this card was coloring it. I had all this in my "pieces" folders, so just used what I had. I think it turned out real cute, nice and bright! I made the wings sparkle! and used my Prisma's to color the girls!
Thanks for stopping by!

Poo Happens?? You bet!


How funny is it when your making a card with poo, it goes together so easy! LOL
I love the poo happens stamp! I bought this about a month ago, It is by Stampendous. How cute is it! Love that saying, I think we've all said it the nice way one time or another! The lady holding her nose, I think by 100 Proof Press. Great Retro designs there! I used my square nestie scallops on behind the images and then used my little tiny nestie squares to put behind the dew drops. Ribbon from stash! safety pins by Making Memories (I think!) DP by Bo Bunny! I'm sure all us moms can relate to plugging our nose a few times. Those new babies don't always smell like Johnson's!!! But most of the time they do!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone is having a great day.

Lily-I Love Shopping


I love Rachel Ann Miller Designs, especially Lily! This is just how I imagine every little girl!
Yesterday, after my flight down 4 feet on my face! I fell off the deck! LOL, I was one hurtin unit! My hubby is painting the house. We have a deck on the back and he took off part of the railing so he could paint. I told him to at least just sit it back up so Jeff, our oldest cocker, wouldn't fall off the ledge, it is a 4 feet drop to the ground! So like a good husband, he places it there, for Jeff! We are out enjoy the morning having coffee and we start talking about a cloths line, nothing better than hanging your sheets on the line! Then we talked about to many trees, birds, no doo on my sheets! Then he tells me about the trees in the front and how the birds flock in those trees. Sooooo, stupid me, walks right over to the railing and leans on it to look in the front yard....well, you know what happened, SPLAT! Nothing broke but I have some nasty bruising! I'm just to old to do that! LOL But now I can at least laugh about it! So, last night aching, I decided to set up the card table in the living room and sit and play! I think Lily turned out great. Its a flap card, I want to make the flap round but didn't have anything to cut a 5 1/2 in circle! I do, but with all my "stuff" I completely forgot about it. Maybe its time to quit buying! LOL I used my Fiskars Treading Water border punch on the flap. Paper, I can't remember where I bought it! Flowers are Prima's. I used my Prisma's to color and I just love the way the colors blended together. I think I might be catching on to coloring with them. Now...I have to tackle the copics! Scary!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!! The weekend is almost here!!

Georgina Glamourpuss


This is another one of my favs from Stamping Bella. I just think she is adorable!
I used my fiskears border punch, cuttlebug with swiss dots, and a few dew drops. Ribbon of course, bought at JoAnn Fabric, $1 bin! This card opens from the side. I tried something different and angled the image and border. Really happy with the results!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog! I love knowing that you enjoy being here!

Happy Neighborhood!


This stamp is also by Stamping Bella and I LOVE THIS STAMP!! I have this thing about houses! The house I live in now, when I was very little, like 2-6, I lived just down the street! I remember my house I live in. I always liked the front door! LOL, Well years later, maybe 15 years later, the couple that lived her passed away and there was an auction. I collect antiques and went to the auction with my parents. I bid, and won quit a bit of furniture. Well 20 years after that, the furniture has come full circle and its back in it orginal home! I love my house and there is a comfort here that I've never felt before! Must be knowing this house almost my whole life.
So maybe thats why I love house images! I don't know, but I do know I love coloring them any color I want!
So thats the story of my house!

Coaster Box



This is the first coaster box I have made and love these! I thought this would be cute for my grandson to keep his markers or colors in. One side has SuperJayden the other, SuperTyler, from Stamping Bella. They are so cute! The cs I had in my stash, as usual, have no clue to company! The only problem I had was the bottom! The next one I make I am going to measure up with the bottom while I tie the sides. I didn't do that on this one. But overall, not bad for the first time!

Some Stamping Bella....



Goodmorning! Well I was thinking of trying out for a Design Team member and decided against it. Not because I wouldn't love it, I just don't think I have the time and I didn't think I could commit to a contract for the amount of time asked. That would be unfair and put me under fire! With my groups I run, I really need to concentrate on those. And of course my life! LOL So I thought I would share what I made.
This is a note card box, I cannot remember where I found the tutorial, but when I run across it, I will post it. I added 4 note cards to the inside. My daughter wants this for invites for a bridesmaid pool party! Yup, that would be perfect!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
