Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our first of the month Dies R Us Challenge!

QKR Stampede Challenge- Anything Goes!

Happy Friday, gals!

Yes, I know it's a little early to be posting Easter cards, but this cute image just grabbed me the minute I saw it.  This is Bunny Bath digi# 15207.  It won't be long before spring craft shows will be coming, and I know I will need lots of Easter cards then.


Boy, he looks busy scrubbing his Easter eggs!  Hope he doesn't scrub all the color off! That big brush looks like it could take it off in a second.

Maybe this will get you in the mood for Easter cards too!

Double dose of sympathy

Hi, gals!

This is the die I found at Hobby Lobby.  It makes a gorgeous background for anything you want to use.  When you cut one of these you realize that cutting a second one means they will fit together to make a perfect 5 1/2 inch card.


I actually ended up making 4 of these in different colors.  It was just such a lot of fun I couldn't help it!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede Challenge!

Wishing you bountiful blessings!

Happy Hump Day, gals!

Your week is half over so no matter how bad it has been, you are nearly to the end!

I love this stamp!  It's a Plum Purdy stamp which is no longer available.  The gal who designed it was primarily a tole painter. 


I'll see you tomorrow with a couple of gorgeous sympathy cards.  Found a new die at Hobby Lobby the other day and with my 40% off coupon, couldn't pass it up!

It's your day!

Hi, gals!

I fell in love with this cute gal and her two little puppies! I knew she would make a great card for a young gal! 


More of my favorite dies!  Do you have favorites?  Or is it just me?  I have some that are just automatic go to when I make a card.  Which is remarkable considering I have over a thousand dies now.  Yes....I'm addicted! 

See you tomorrow with a great Thanksgiving card!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Monday, gals!

Well, I'm still working on Christmas cards and at this point I have tons of them done already! Yay!!
This little guy is an old, old, Stamping Up stamp I've had forever!


By adding my favorite snowflake frame he was finished in a hurry.  I love this frame because it also embosses.

See you tomorrow with a cute birthday card!

Have a really "cool" birthday!

Hello, again!

Aren't these happy little penquins just addorable! Looks like they are partying hard and having a great time! Dancing, streamers...the whole works!


I did this card in two colors and loved them both.  I'm guessing a kid somewhere would love them! Kids always love happy little critters!  I do too!  ha ha

Stop back tomorrow for a surprise.

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Yup, it's that time again.  Grab your favorite supplies and join the fun.  With a theme of anything goes, you can make whatever card you need most at the moment.

I decided on Branding Digi# 10004 for my card.  Couldn't resist this cute bear dressed in his cowboy gear!  Added a couple of my favorite cowboy dies and he was done!


I'm sure he is heading over to brand some cows by the looks of his branding iron!  I'm not sure I could do that!  It has to hurt like crazy!  And I don't think I have the heart for it.  So I'll stick to creating cards where I know I'm not causing anyone pain....not even a cow.

What is there about simple cards that is always so beautiful!  A couple of corner dies, a gorgeous embossed center die and a simple rose....I love it!


I love, love this combination! Hopefully, so will the person who gets it!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Pull it together!

Hi, everyone!

I'm betting we have all had days where a cup of coffee is all we need to pull it all together! Most days start out like that! ha ha


I'm hoping there are as many coffee lovers at the craft shows as possible! If not, I'll be sending out a lot of coffee related cards! ha ha

Any friend of coffee, is a friend of mine!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Hope your week is off to a great start!  This sentiment just gave me a chuckle! Hopefully, your coffee loving friends will enjoy it too!


Back tomorrow with my last set of coffee related cards!  I'm sure you are tired of them by now.

My cup is full!

Hi, gals!

Any coffee lovers out there?  I can't make it through a day without at least 3-4 cups of coffee! I ADORE coffee!


Looks like this poor rabbit is going for a cup with his last ounce of strength!
I have another coffee related card for you tomorrow!

Tool Guy!

Hi, gals!

We all know a guy who owns every tool known to man and is handy with them all!  My grandson is like that! He loves to putter and if I have anything for him to do here, it makes his day!


I can't imagine what tool he might have missed! Looks like he has all of them!
Stop by tomorrow for our fifteenth of the month Dies R Us challenge!

It's your day!

Hi, gals!
Happy Tuesday!
I love this cute jogger from my stash of Mo Manning digi's.  And of course, I had to do him in Husker colors!  You can't live in Nebraska (especially Lincoln) without wearing red on game day! I think there must be an unwritten law about it.


Hopefully, someone will grab him up at the next craft shows just because he is wearing Husker red! Yes, we are pretty finatical about red here!  I've had the kool aid too and find myself wearing Husker shirts on game day along with everyone else.  I've gone from someone who hated football and NEVER watched it to someone who is glued to the set every game day.  Who knew!  ha ha

Stop back in two days for our fifteenth of the month Dies R Us challenge!

A good day fishing!

Hi, gals!

How many of you like to go fishing?  I have to admit that I miss those days.  It was always so relaxing sitting on the bank watching the river flow by and hoping for a big fish! Whenever I went with dad, he preferred to use corn for bait instead of worms!  Which was fine with me!! No way I could have picked up a squishy worm and hooked him on.   Yuk!


See you tomorrow with a fun jogger and his dog!

For all the fishing guys out there!

Happy Saturday, gals!

Hope this guy card will give you some ideas for the next male birthday on your list.  He is another Mo Manning image and combined with a couple of my guy dies he is ready to wish someone a very happy birthday!


I'll have a couple of cute Halloween cards to share tomorrow.  You can never have too many Halloween images!

Under the weather?

Hi, gals!

Nobody likes to be sick, but if you get this cute little gal in the mail and don't cheer up immediately there is something wrong with you!  How cute is she!  Ready to give you her little tulip to cheer you up!


This is an old Mo Manning image I've had for years.  Combine her with my all time favorite die and she is ready to go!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Sweet birthday greeting!

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

Hope your week is going well.  If not, it is already half over so hang on!


I loved this digi the minute I saw it! It's from Sparkle & Sprinkle & I knew it would be a beautiful image to color.  I could have made it into a get well card, thank you card, sympathy card or any number of things but decided to go with a birthday card.

Grabbed my favorite die of all time and an old, old corner punch and it was finished!

Cute baby cards!

Hi, gals!

I love making baby cards! They are always fun to make & knowing the happy reason you are sending them makes it even better!


A change of color just makes a huge difference! The left card is clearly for a girl but the right card could be for either!
Back tomorrow with a surprise!

What a difference changing colors makes!

Hi, gals!

Happy Monday! I've had so much fun coloring these darling images and experimenting with color changes! I can't believe how much just a color change makes!


See what I mean?  What a difference the two color combinations make in the total look!
I'm not sure which I love the most!

Stop back tomorrow for some cute baby cards!
