Thank You Pixie

It's been a beautiful, productive day at my house!  Love it when that happens.  And, it's exciting for me to share that I achieved a goal I set for myself to reach the top of a mountain trail by our house.  It took me a few weeks, but got it done!
And that activity just happened to fill me with all kinds of creative energy.  The hills surrounding the trail today were packed with lupine, balsam, camas, and phlox.  Which made me think of this little Pixie from Tiddly Inks.  Hope you can find her in the card, as my layout is a bit wild and crazy!!  It looks like I broke all the coloring rules... lol... but it was fun.  And that is it for my post today - thanks for your visit, and have a fabulous week!

Brightening My Day

We had a significant storm the other day.  Rain like I've never seen or heard before!  So when it came time to get crafty, I thought of little Miss Puddle Jumper, who is a part of the Roberto's Rascals collection from CC Designs.  I've been wanting to get her on a card for the longest time!  My attempt was to make this "rainy day" card as bright as possible, which isn't too difficult with these cheerful characters.  I also applied a bit of Glossy Accents on the puddle, and on her hat.  And, of course, a CAS layout.  In the end, she made me smile.  Yay!  That's it for today... have a good rest of your weekend!

Sweet As Can Be

I've got another quick post for you on this Friday, as I ran out of time yesterday to get it up on the ol' blog.  And this little Pure Innocence Milk & Cookies from My Favorite Things couldn't possibly miss out on the spotlight!  She finally got a chance to sit down and enjoy her treat... ahhhhh.  She was a fun one to color.  But, I think I'd go crazy if I lived in a house with that wild wallpaper.  What can I say... it does match her chair!  The important things.... LOL.  I'm off and running... thank you, as always, for taking a minute to view my project today.

Pink Birthday Wishes

Today I've colored up another cutie from The Greeting Farm.  Her name is Dollie with Ice Cream.  Dollies are top on my list of Greeting Farm favorites.  Her expression and posture reminds me of how I felt when I was traveling on business.  There was always much more on my to do list than I had time for.  Packing for varied events, delayed flights, missed connections, preparing presentations, nerves.... on the verge of complete frazzlement!!  However, I would also consider a triple scoop chocolate chip mint ice cream cone the ultimate remedy!!  Especially if it was to be shared with a friend.  LOL.  Thanks for stopping, and I hope you have a fabulous Friday!

Sparkle

It seems that my creativity goes in spurts that focus on specific artists.  My spurt at the moment is The Greeting Farm.  It's a lovely thing, as I do adore TGF images.  The selection I've made this day is "Miss Anya Night Out".  Unfortunately, I couldn't find her on the TGF site.  It doesn't take away, however, from the joy of coloring her up!!  I threw my paper flowers on the table and had fun with them... not something I usually do because I prefer CAS layouts.  In the end it stayed simple enough, and I ended up loving it!  So that's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by... 'til we meet again!!

Smile Sweetie Pie

Today's post really ended up being a fun project.  It is a combination of Greeting Farm stamps that includes the Bakery Set, and the star of the show... Cheeky Cherry Pie (unable to find in the store).  Also included are pies from the Hello Fall Set.  Amy was my inspiration.  Her post is here.  Thank you, Amy!
My husband works in the fruit industry, and we're coming up on cherry season.  So, why not incorporate that bit of deliciousness into the theme of my card?  Too fun... makes me want to go make a pie!  Instead, off for my hike... and errands. Have a fabulous Monday!
