Sweet Summer Treat

Hello again.  Welcome back to my blog.  The card I have for this post is my first Summer card of the season.  I chose a Mayzy Art image called Watermelon Wally.

Isn't he cute.  Looks like he's really enjoying his watermelon.  I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and used my BIC markers to color image.  I trimmed down the image and matted it on Red Recollections card stock.    The sentiment is mine.  I chose two DCWV DPs for this one and strange enough, I had colored the image first and then found this DP with the same colors as the image.  I added the strip of red plaid just because it's summery.  The card base is made from Gina K 120# Heavy Base Weight White.  I added a mat of Dark Blue Recollections card stock under the polka dot DP.  That cute little watermelon slice, it's Fiskars Fresh Fruit.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy your Wednesday.  God bless.

Love Card

Welcome friends.  I have one more card for y'all before I call it quits for the night/morning.  I hope y'all like it.

I used a digi stamp that had four different images on one sheet.  I'm not sure who the artist is, but I love the images.   I colored them with BIC markers and trimmed them down to 2" squares and matted them on Red card stock from Recollections.  There are lots of layers on this card.  The DP is DCWV and the Black card stock is Recollections.  I got the sentiment from A Piece of Heart.  I pop dotted the sentiment in the middle of card to give it some separation between the images.  Adding four gems from Queen and Co finished it off.

I thank you so much for stopping by to see what I have created.  It means so much that you take the time out of your schedule to check out my crafting.  God bless y'all.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Welcome.  So happy to see y'all again.  I hope you enjoy your visit.

This card features Scripture Word Art from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  

I began by printing out the sentiment on GP card stock.  I trimmed it down and matted it on a marbled blue card stock that used to be a pocket in a bill paying folder.  I made a 5" square card base from Yellow card stock from Recollections.  I trimmed down a blue cloud DP from Colorbok as the background.  I cut a strip of flower paper and used a Fiskars scalloped border punch on it.  I cut a thin strip of the same yellow card stock for the "ribbon" trim.  I used the same flower DP for the panel and matted it on the yellow card stock.  Adding the little daisy flower finished off the card.

Thank you so much for visiting me today.  Come back soon! God bless y'all.

Just for You

Good Morning..TGIF..right.  It's very dreary here this morning.  It's raining and has turned off cold again.  Will the real spring ever stand up?

The card I have for you showcases one of the cutest dragons.  It's from Pink Gems.  His name is Denzil.

Pink Gem's challenge this week was Animals.  I think this little fella' fits the bill.  I started this card with a Daffodil Delight (SU) card base.   I used three different DP from my green stash bin.  I so need to start using up the scraps in my bins.  I think I'm going to set a challenge for myself to do that...well, back to the card.  I followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch for this card.  I did color Denzil with my BIC markers and added some Sakura Glitter pen.  The sentiment is from the Fiskars All Year Cheer set that I picked up for $.97.  I stamped it with Versa Fine Onyx. Adding a few gems from Queen and Co finished it up.

One of the challenges I am entering this card in is Favorite Films.  When I was a child, I absolutely loved Puff the Magic Dragon.  I watched it over and over until  I broke the tape.  So, this card is in honor of that movie.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope y'all's weather is better than ours today.  Have a great Friday.  God bless.

Spring Fairy

It's me again.  LOL. Thanks for stopping in this morning.  I have a cute little fairy card for y'all this morning.

This little cutie is the Shamrock Fairy from Digi Darla.  I used my BIC markers and Glitter Gel Pens to add some color to her.  I fussy cut her out and after adding the elements to the card I used pop dots to add her.

The card base is made from Mint card stock from Gina K.  It measures 5.5"square.  Both of the DPs are from EK Success' Disney Line.  The flourishes and doily are from my stash.  I used three flower gems from Me and My Big Ideas.

Thanks for stopping in this morning.  I appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day.  God bless y'all.

Thinking of You Butterflies

Welcome again.  I am so happy y'all stopped in tonight.  I hope you are enjoying your Friday night.  It's very quiet here...hubby at work, Kierstynne at grandma's.  I'm loving it.

The card I have for you uses elements from a HOTP  card maker's set that I have had hidden in my stash for about two years.  I want to use up my older stuff so that I can buy more..Don't we all feel that way?

I used shades of reddish-purple for this card.

I cut out all the elements except the sentiment (Tami Mayberry Faithful Florals) panel. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo DI.   The striped DP is from Vintage Plum and the Polka Dots are from DCWV.  I used a white gel pen to add some faux stitching around the edges.  For two of the butterflies, I used pop dots to give the card a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping in to check out my latest card.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.
