A Little Birdie Told Me...

Hi, again!

Well, I'm back to glass in both lens again! I got off in time to stop by & get my glasses repaired, so now I have no excuse for bad coloring. ha ha

Today's card is one I made last week. A cute digi from Dearie Dolls that caught my eye.

  I decided to make it into a thank you card. It was cut out with a Marianne Designs die & I colored it with my Prismacolor brush markers & added a little white squiggling with my white pen.  The flower was from my stash & the paper from Recollections.

Catch you later!   Enjoy "hump" day tomorrow!

Happy Monday!

I hope yours was better than mine. It was one of those wild, wooly days that you think will never end & every email or phone call was a problem or more work. You know the kind of days I'm sure! And to make the day even more fun, the lens popped out of my week old glasses yesterday so I was back to my "cheaters" all day. The optical company was closed before I could get off work. Are you feeling my pain? ha ha   Enough of that! On to the fun stuff!

Today's card is a little elephant that I just loved on sight. He is from Crafter's Companion. I cut him out with a Spellbinder die and added a ribbon from my stash.  The paper is from Recollections.  I thought he would be a cute birthday card.

Back tomorrow with something new.  And hopefully, reports that I now have a lens in both sides of my glasses! ha ha   I hope you will have a wonderful day too!  Catch you later.

An early Valentine

Good morning, all!

It's cold here this morning with wind chills about 2 degrees & earlier there was a brief hint of snowflakes in the air but they have since passed us by.  Thankfully!  I'm not up to shoveling today.  I'm still fighting some version of a cold or a sinus episode, hard to tell which it is, but I'm ready for it to be over!  I thought today would be a good day to share a Valentine I made last week before my head plugged up & my creative juices dried up.

This was a digi from Designed2Delight.  I colored him with Prismacolor brush markers and it's hard to see in the picture, but I added Stickles to the valentine hearts & his fur trim.  You can never have enough glitter, and I figured any mouse secure enough to wear this crazy sweater wouldn't mind glitter either!  I cut him out with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles (one of my all time favorite die sets) and added hearts made with dies from Cheery Lynn.  The paper was from Recollections.  

Back to my cards.....or that good mystery I'm half way through.....or a nap.....Catch you later!

Let's Keep it Simple!

Hi, everyone!

Tonite I have a really, really simple card to share. I got a new die from Heartfelt Creations & just had to try it out. Here is the Valentine I ended up with.  The double heart is the front & I also used the new dies for the inside & sentiment. The corners are from a Martha Stewart punch I've had awhile.  Love the gingham paper, of course!  It's always my first choice.

I hope your week is going well.  I'll be back tomorrow with more.  Catch you later!

Flat out Chicken!

Hi, everyone!

I'm going to make this a fast post while Blogger is still working!.  I'm getting really frustrated with it lately.

Here is my second "chicken" card (and my last for awhile).  This is a Judith image & I added some balloons to it to make it look more like a birthday card instead of the way I feel most mornings! Lol... The chicken wire is made with a Marianne Designs die & the sentiment banner is from Spellbinders.  I hope it gave you a chuckle. 

I'll be back tomorrow with something entirely different.  Catch you later!

Hi Chick!

Hi,
I thought a little chuckle would be in order today to help brighten things up.  We have had fog all morning & it looks grey & dreary outside. Hopefully, this card will at least make you smile!

The stamp is from Art Impressions and the paper from Lily Bee Design.  The "chicken wire" was made with a die from Marianne Designs that a friend had & let me borrow.  When you run it through on silver paper, it looks like the real thing!  The flowers were from my stash.    I will be back tomorrow with another chicken card to share.  

Have a great day!  Catch you tomorrow.

Yippeeeeeee!!!!

Can you believe it?  I actually got in to my blog & got it to upload a card!   Who knows if this will continue functioning, but for now, at least,  I can post!  Yippeeee!!!

Today's post is a digi from Designed2Delight.  They have some cute things & this one caught my eye immediately!  I can't resist "critters" of any kind.  My daughter will love it too as critters have always been her favorite as well.    The paper was from my favorite paper pad of gingham that I used in the last posting too. It was colored with Prismacolor brush markers & the flower was from my stash.

Back to creating.....I'll be back with something else tomorrow!  Catch you later!

TOTAL FRUSTRATION

Hi, everyone!

Sorry I have no card to post today.  Actually, I have MANY cards to post, but Google has decided to change their password system, and the way you can upload pictures now.  Trying to add a photo from my own files is no longer possible.  They have to be in Piccasa albums!  Apparently, you can no longer access things where you have them stored in your computer.  And unless you are willing to be billing $38 to ask a question, it seems you are on your own. 

Is anyone else having this nightmare?

A Basket of Thanks

Hi, everyone!

Just a quick post tonite.  My grandson is waiting to play a game of Words With Friends with me.   As if all the books I can read on my new Kindle Fire are not enough, now he has introduced me to games!  I need more hours in the day! lol  And more brain power!  So far, he is beating my pants off!

Tonite's card is a simple thank you card I did using some of my new Xmas dies...  You know how I adore dies!  This was made with a basket by Marianne Designs & the lace border by Cheery Lynn dies. Add a few flowers & a bow & instant card!  The paper is from my favorite pad of all times, "Signature Collection Gingham" by Creative Imaginations.  The whole pad is double sided gingham in various colors. I wish I had a case of it!  LOVE gingham!!

The wind is howling tonite & the temperature is dipping rapidly.  Going to be another cold few days.  Stay warm wherever you are!

Catch you later!

official Happy New Year...

Hi, everyone!
Here is my "official" Happy New Year" wish!  As always, I have good intentions to send out lots & lots of these, but reality set in & I only had time for one.  So this will have to do as my new year card to everyone!

I love this Mo Manning image! It's just so cute.  I colored it with my Prismacolor brush markers & cut it out with a Spellbinder die.  The cute pennants were added with a Fiskers punch.

I hope this coming year will be one of blessings for everyone.

Catch you later!
