Wish You Were Here

Good Morning!  It's a beautiful Saturday morning here in Central Washington.  My husband and I are getting ready to go for a hike.  I have a goal to reach, and he is supporting me until that goal is achieved... good guy!  But, before I head out, I want to share a card I created yesterday.  "Day Off Anya" (which I could not find on the TGF website) from The Greeting Farm.  With a little change.  I was practicing hair on "Reds Anya", and was pleased with the results so decided to do a little switcheroo.  Looks like she's also taking a hike, and wishing her moral support was with her.  It's a lovely thing having those people in your life to share with!  Anyway, I had fun mixing up these Greeting Farm images, hope you enjoy as well!  Have yourself a great weekend!

You're Awesome

Hello!  I have another cutie from Sister Stamps today.  Her name is Kiyomi.  Most likely, this little gal would more traditionally call for a red kimono... but then she wouldn't have matched the paper I picked!  LOL... so, she's dressed in blue.  I first filled in the flowers on her Kimono with a white Sharpie water based pen so it would provide a bit of resistance to the copics.  I did a little research, and didn't find that this would damage my pens in any way.  Would be eager to learn if you know otherwise.  And I chose a very simple layout - but I do love how it came together.  These Sister Stamp images might also be fun for a no line coloring party... hmmmm.... 😉!  So that's it for today.  As always, thanks for stopping - and have a great day!

Courage, Dear Heart

It's Monday, and I'm exhausted!  LOL... something about chasing my grandbaby around over the weekend.  But, I wouldn't have preferred anything else!  So, I was a little slow getting this card done, but it was crazy fun!  I pulled out my watercolor pencils, just because this image seemed to call for it.  I do have to mention my dear friend, Amy, on this... as this Stamping Bella stamp set, "Only Gretchen", was a birthday gift from her.  It almost caused me to jump through the roof with excitement!  The watercolor was a bit challenging, as my preferred medium is Copics.  However,

 I will be coloring this up again with Copics, and Amy!  Anyway,  hope you enjoy... and have a fabulous week!

Makes Me Happy

Happy Friday to you!  It's the Friday before Easter, and I should be posting a card appropriate to the occasion, but... my eyes and heart gave in to Mei Li, from Sister Stamps.  This little cutey is not available, as Sister Stamps is no longer in business.  But it is always fun to peruse the Sister Stamps Blog - such inspiration!  She landed on a very simple layout.  It seems, for now anyway, to be the look I love the most.  Hope you enjoy, and that you're able to relax over the Easter weekend!

Hello Sweet Bunny

Another Easter Card today.  This image is from Impronte d'Autore, titled Coniglietto Dolce (Sweet Bunny).  My brother and sister-in-law are leaving for a 3 week vacation to Italy, so I thought I'd pull out one of my images from that lovely country!  Leaving it very simple with a light ombre background, I wanted to keep the focus on this little sweety.  She's pleased that she finally coaxed her furry friend to at least tentatively accept her Easter gift.  I do love these images... so playful and full of life!  And that's it for today... Mi auguro che tu e la tua famiglia abbiate trascorso una Buona Pasqua!

Where your heart wants

This is a card that I completed some time ago, but never posted it onto my blog.  Little Anya from the The Greeting Farm's mini remix "Happy", kinda stole my heart when I first saw her.  So, when I received a darling video clip the other day of my granddaughter sprinting toward her father, with such determination and excitement, I had to send this off to her.  Which meant I better get it on the blog or it would disappear forever!  Hope your feet take you to amazing places today, and thanks for your visit!

Thinking of You

Good Morning - and it's another beautiful day!  My guest, 😉, is Fairy Queen Primrose Fairy from A Day For Daisies.  It seems like I've been coloring quite a few ADFD images lately - yes, this crafter adores them.  I had all kinds of different papers pulled to accompany this beauty, and almost put her away for another time.  Until this lovely paper ... well, no need to say more!  It was a stretch for me to match the blue in her dress with the flowers.  However, BG90 and BG70 as a base... magical!  Thank you, Amy!!  Anyway - this was all I hoped it would be, and am so happy she made it onto a card!  That's it for today... Hvordan å si ha en god dag!!

Happy Birthday Pixie

Good Day to you!  Today's card, Paisley Pixie by Christy Croll, is for my momma's 95th birthday... 95th!  She's the real artist in the family - and I have amazing memories of her up until late at night getting creative with just about any medium you can imagine.  She had a kiln, mosaic tiles, oil paints, gorgeous magazines to incorporate into her numerous collages... on and on it goes.  So, she passed down the desire to be artsy.  And, I think she will have a smile from deep in her heart when she sees this card. I'm a little late getting it to her... she kinda passed that stuff on too.  Hee, hee.  Hope you enjoy this little cutey!

For Realz

Sunday morning, and another bunny card!  Somethin' about those soft little critters.  I'm thinking that this Pure Innocence sweety from My Favorite Things likes them too.  Just standing there trying to convince us she's really a bunny... and dreaming about the upcoming Easter egg hunt.  One of my favorite memories... Easter egg hunts, and my Grandpa showing up for Easter dinner with a big bag of jelly beans.  What's not to love about that?  Anyway, this was a fun and easy card - which somehow fit my mood this mornin'.  And that's all for today... enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I Miss You

Hi there!  Just a brief post today, as my husband is strongly hinting that I should be outside working in the yard with him.  And yes, I should be.  😊
Today I've colored up "Clara In Love", from Odd Ball Art Co.  Another line of digital images that I adore.  Small little spaces, and sometimes a lot of detail - but so worth the effort.  Clara looked more like she was missing somebody vs. lovelorn.  Maybe it's because I miss my little grand daughter so much!  So, I went ahead with that theme, and I am pleased with the results.  Cardmaking - is it not the most fulfilling pastime?  Ahhh... guess I better get back to earth and go pull a few weeds.... 😉  Hope you have a great day, and thanks for visiting my blog!
