Hi There Bunny

Hello!  Is it really Friday, again, already?  The weeks are flying!  It's funny though, time seems to go even faster when I'm in my craft room.  Case in point; I stepped into the aforementioned at 7am this morning, and walked out 3 hours later NOT believing more than an hour had passed.  I completely lost all concept of time, but did end up with this little cutey, "Girl With A Bunny", from A Day For Daisies.  It is a darling image for this time of year, and I had a great time bringing her to life.  So fun.  And also very cool that every time I tackle a project with Copics, it's a learning experience.  Love that.  So, that's it for today - have a super fabulous weekend!

Hello

Hello, and Happy Monday to you! Spring is officially here, and I couldn't be happier about it! To bring in the season, I decided to color up Peggy, from Whimsy Stamps.   I do love the sweet faces and interactive scenes that the artist (Sylvia Zet) creates with her images.  It's tough to peruse through her stamps at Whimsy's shop, 'cause I just end up wanting to buy them all!  I also purchased a (boring probably) crafty item that is really coming in handy.  The MFT Die-namics Circle STAX Set 1 that so perfectly frames my stitched circles.  How did I function without them I'll never know!?!  LOL... anyway, I was pleased with the outcome of this card, hope you enjoy!  Off to enjoy the sunshine!! ☀

Birthday Wishes

Good morning.  A quick post for you today.  I decided to give Christmas Tree Mae from Some Odd Girl a new role!  She has now been commissioned as Birthday Wishes Mae!  Lol... always good to make good use of our stamps/images, right?  My intent was to create a colorful spring card... but it has a bit of Fall look to it.  Oh well... I had fun, and do hope you enjoy!  Thanks for your visit... have a fantastic day!

Wishing You Joy

Today I'm sharing with you a sweet little Anya ballerina from The Greeting Farm. She's a digital stamp titled "Ballet Anya".  One thing I've noticed, for sure, is whenever I make a card with Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream cardstock, it seems to end up on my "love it!" list. Copics blend so nicely on this paper - and the soft cream enables colors to pop beautifully. What's not to love about that? So, this little dancing darling landed on Vintage Cream - and I think she's happy about it. I hope you are too! ;) I'm going to toss this in as my second entry in the March Farm Fresh Challenge on TFG's Blog. And then... I'm off and running - busy day. But thanks for your visit.  I hope you have a fabulous Monday!

The Beginning of Love

Good Day! I thought I better get this card posted before the snow is completely melted outside! We're getting so close to birds singing and crocus blooming! Today's star is "Winter Mae", a digital stamp from Some Odd Girl. I've always wanted a coat with a giant hood - you know, that Red Riding Hood look... lol. Maybe someday! Anywho, one of my favorite color combinations is the E40s with B90s - and I think it worked out well with this card. Looks like she's got spring on her mind as well - just look at the sparkle in her eye! Ha! Can you tell I'm done with winter? :) Okay, that's it for today... and thank you, as always, for stopping by!

You Slay Me

It's Friday!!! Yay! Today I gave another go at no line coloring with this sweet stamp set from My Favorite Things, called "Magical Dragons". My friend Amy is my inspiration - she does such a beautiful job with everything she touches with a copic pen!! The goal? Practice, practice, practice. This project was a lot of fun, but certainly challenging. I tend to look at the mistakes, but... I also notice I'm getting a little better - so, there you go! The background was also inspiration as a result of my craft surfing. Thank you, Jennifer McGuire for this great idea of cornering/grounding cards with a soft distress application. Her tutorial is here. And that's all she wrote for today, thank you for taking a minute to visit my blog!

What's Up?

Good Morning! Please welcome this little sweety from The Greeting Farm to my blog on this beautiful day! I fell in love with the "Mega-Mini Lift Off" set that was recently released - so darn cute. For the month of March, TGF's Farm Fresh Challenge is "Mixed Media Madness".  Love this - pure motivation! My background is first stenciled with Tim Holtz Picket Fence, and then inked up with distress ink, using my hand made cloud stencil.  Then a few splatters of Picket Fence to finish it off, and Voila!  So simple!  I also tried my hand at no line coloring on this one - gave it my best. But oh, there's practice in store for this crafter!   Anyhow... it was a fun project, and hope it gives you ideas as well. It is a gorgeous day outside - a tease for the coming season. My goal is to get out and go for a walk. We have a great walking trail on the river - such a beautiful place to recharge! Thanks for stoppin' - hope you have a great weekend!

All of me loves all of you

Happy Friday to you! My inspiration to post this morning comes from "A Day For Daisies" blog. Sadly, they will no longer be posting on their site. Thankfully, though, "The ADFD Shop" will stay open so we can continue to purchase their fabulous images.  So the curtain closes with one final challenge - "A Celebration of Favorites". This image definitely fits in that category for me, but I've never managed to get it on to a card until now. Her name is "Braid In My Hair".  Just adore the quiet activity in this image.  I hope you do, as well.  I also want to thank Tammy, and everyone that supported the ADFD blog, for all the inspiration and beauty... you'll always have a warm place reserved in my heart!
