Psalm 127:3

Hi there..:)  So glad to see ya.  Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and let's see what we have for today.

This beautiful little momma is from The Paper Shelter and is called Light of My Life.  I colored her with colored pencils and OMS.  I chose four different patterns of paper from The Paper Studio Love You collection that I got on sale after Valentine's Day for $1.99.  Don't ya just love a good bargain?  I matted each piece of DP onto a pink panel.  The image and sentiment are matted on Chocolate Chip card stock from SU.  The card base is from Colobok.  I made the flower using a Paper Studio Brad and Pink Box Pleated Ribbon.  It was very easy and I stole the idea from a YouTube video.  Adding three pink pearls from Queen and Co finished it off.

I hope you like this little card.  I appreciate y'all stoppin' in.  God bless y'all.

Melonheadz Monday Challenge

Good Morning.  Welcome back to my little piece of cyber space.  I'm so glad you chose to join me along my journey.  

Today is my first posting as a Melonheadz Designer.  I'm so excited.  I love Nikki's designs and have been using them for a while.  If you haven't checked out our site yet, please do by clicking HERE.  Every two weeks we have another challenge with a great theme. This challenge's theme is Mother's Day/For a Special Lady.  I used the Mother's Day 2011 bundle to create my card.

I think this is such a sweet image.  I used Spectrum Noir pens to add the color to this image.  I used BGR1 to highlight the image before trimming it and rounding the corners.  I matted it onto Black card stock from Recollections.  The sentiment is from the same bundle and I also rounded the corners and matted it onto the black card stock.

I found these two DPs in my blue stash bin and thought they matched pretty well with the image.  I am going to give this to my MIL for Mother's Day and she isn't a frilly girly girl, so I liked the simpleness of this card.   I used a Fiskars Border Punch to  die cut the Turquoise strip of card stock (Recollections).  The card base is a nice Yellow from Recollections and is 6" square.  I added two little flowers that I had in my stash to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all and have a great Monday.

Yummy!

Welcome back friends.  I sure hope you are enjoying your day.

The card showcased here today uses an image from Melonheadz.  It's called Baking Mom.  I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and colored it in with Chromatix pens.

Do you remember baking cookies with your mom or grandma?  I sure do.  Every year about two to three weeks before Christmas my mom would start baking the cookies.  My favorite was the homemade chocolate chip.  There is nothing better than sneaking a bit of the dough before it's cooked.  Yummy!

I started by making a card base from Chocolate Chip card stock (SU).  I added a panel of pink card  stock from Recollections.  For the DP, I took the HOTP Yummy Kitchen stamp set and chose the Cookie Jar, Spatula, Wooden Spoon, and Cupcake images and randomly stamped them on white card stock.  I then filled in the blank spaces with a little heart.  I used my BIC markers to add a bit of color.  I then took Tattered Rose and Wild Honey Distress Inks and inked it a bit.  I then added a strip of DCWV DP and a strip of border punched Chocolate Chip card stock and tied a sheer yellow ribbon around the middle.  I added the matted image a little wonky and added the sentiment. I stamped another cookie jar, colored it in, and cut it out.  Using pop dots, I added it beside the sentiment.
Adding three green gems to the bottom right corner finished it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Enjoy your Friday.  God bless.

Just A Note

Welcome back.  Sit a spell.  Grab a cup of coffee or big glass of iced tea and see what I have for y'all.

I used a sketch to make this CAS card.  I don't do alot of these 'cause I love the stuff. But every now and again it's nice to change gears.

I started out with a 5" square Crumb Cake card base from SU.  I used three different patterned papers (DCWV)  for the back ground.  They are cut at 4"x1.25".  I added a lime green brad from my stash to the top of each panel.  

The sentiment is my focal image and it's from Beccy Muir.  I used a green colored pencil to add color to just the pears.  I matted it on a panel of Mint Green from Gina K and used pop dots to add it to the card.

That's it.  I think it took me all of 5 minutes once I picked out my papers.  Very simple.

Thanks for stopping in today/tonight.  I hope y'all enjoyed the stay.  God bless y'all.
