Marcie with Bunny...

This is another great image from La-La Land Crafts - little Marcie with Bunny. I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored her with Copics and paper-pieced her dress and hair band with a nice springy paper. The background circle is cut with a Spellbinders die and then embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The embossed image adds a little something to the background circle. I added a few flowers to the side and it's done!

Have a great day and thanks for making us part of your day!

April Calendar Cat...

Spring is in the air and I love this DP with the little fun-colored birds. First I cut a couple strips of the birds and layered those to a lavender Bazzill base. Then I added a small picture of Bucle and some fun felt flowers for a nice springy layout. I definitely need to work on getting some more bright cat photos for next year's calendar!

Have a great day!

The World of Mini Maggies...

We picked up some of the "Mini Magnolias" at CHA - and when they say "mini," they mean it! These are small, but a lot of fun to stamp and color. And not very hard to cut out - I expected it to be hard, but they cut out quite quickly and easily. Tilda with Teddy Bear was always one of my favorite images and I picked this one up in the mini version. So I stamped and colored her with Copics, then cut her out. I decided to have her sit on the edge of a circle. In a Hero Arts clear set, I found the words "enjoy the little things" and knew it was perfect. One of the cool things with clear word stamps is that you can carefully bend the words to fit your circle shape. I shaped a couple small flowers and put those on both sides of Tilda. Just a fun little card!

Thanks for visiting us today!

Easter Chick....

Wow! Hard to believe I have been offline on the blog for over 2 weeks! Yikes! We're going to try to do better. Here it is the week before Easter already. I hope everyone is enjoying the more Spring-like weather. We did not have much of a winter, but I always love Spring when everything starts popping out of the ground.

This is a cute little chick stamp from Stampendous. She is decked out for the holiday! I colored her with watercolor pencils and a blender pen and cut her out with a Spellbinders oval die. I layered that to a green scalloped oval and then over some fun glitter striped paper and onto a pink card. I added a couple punched flowers around the words and decorated that strip with an EK Success border punch. A very easy card - great for last minute cards.

Thanks for coming by and your patience.

Bunnies for Spring...

If there is one animal that makes you think of Spring and Easter - it is bunnies! This is an adorable image from Flourishes. I colored them with watercolor pencils and a Dove blender pen. The image is cut out with an oval Spellbinders die, then layered to a Spellbinders labels die. Layered to fun plaid DP and some teal bows. The yellow flower is punched and I added the "Happy Spring" words on some banner strips.

If this does not give you Spring fever, nothing will!

Rosettes from Memory Box

Rosettes seem to be all the rage these days. This is a fun card from Memory Box using one of their flat dies in the background a 3 rosettes. I really like the circle die underneath the rosettes - Dave has a great flair for fun and unique designs. We did get in one Memory Box order last week - and there is another order out there. You have to be quick with the MB dies - the sell almost as fast as we can get them out of the box!

Thanks for stopping by today!

March Calendar Cats...

Well, Old Man Winter played a cruel trick on us last week - dumping well over 12" of snow on us on Thursday - it just kept snowing and snowing and snowing - all day. Of course, that was not enough. After getting the driveway cleared on Friday, on Saturday we woke up to about 2" of snow and then it was raining. Good grief! We've barely had any snow all winter, now we get blitzed. Now it is supposed to be in the 60's this Thursday - go figure. So, if you are wondering where I have been - outside with a shovel in my hand! On the good news front, no snow in the 10-day forecast.

So, back to the topic at hand - time for the March calendar cats. This month we have both girls sitting in the window (in much warmer weather) with some fun QuicKutz St. Patrick's Day die cuts. This is an older die - I don't know if it is still available. The DP down the left side is a "Free Bird" paper from Authentique.

Have a great day!
