Happy Birthday

Another warm sunny day expected here in the Illinois Valley! Spring is on its way; however, Mother Nature does want to show us who is boss this weekend...we are expecting SNOW showers all weekend. Won't amount to much cause our ground is so warm now, but not the way I had hoped the weekend would be....Oh well, soon enough! On to today's card....please forgive me as I do not remember the name of this stamp! I am not in my craft room as I typed this post so I couldn't double check myself. However, I thought it would make a cheerful Birthday card. After coloring the image in with copic markers, I chalked the sky with blue and pink chalk and used crystal effects on the balloons...added a little glitter to the balloons before the crystal effects dried. Once I was happy with my creation, I cut it out using one of the Frame Nestabilities....would make a nice young girl birthday card....don't you think? Well I am going to need to run for today, I thank you so much for stopping by and wish you a glorious, blessed day today. I will be out to see you all later on this evening.

HUGS!

Our Precious Angel

Good morning Ladies! Today is Thursday Sketch Challenge at SB for the Scrapbook Team. Our sketch was provided by Becky Fleck at http://www.pagemaps.com/ today. In our designs we are to incorporate an SB image. I chose this awesome angel that Tracey drew for her Enchantment Collection. If you have not been to the Boutique to see them you are really missing out...they are breathtaking! The darling little one in the pics is my only grandaughter...she will be 2 soon. All the paper used here was purchased at a sb store in Texas when we were on vacation in October last year. The flowers were some I have found at Hobby Lobby on sale...and how cool is the flower stem??? Did you notice it is the same brown polka dots as paper as our little angels shirt? Well I hope you enjoyed my creation and it inspires you to create a page of your own. Hop on over to the Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog to see the creations made by the rest of the SB team. Have a glorious spring day today...I wish I could be out in it too but I am working all day. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in and see me.

SU Thinking of You

Good morning! How are you all doing today? I am feeling better today after another round of a cold...the worst has passed I think and I am back on the mend. Last night I stayed up till almost 1 AM playing in my room...trying to create and get inspired....having a rough time coming up with ideas lately. The card that I made for today was designed with the SU set Thoughts and Prayers. I inked the flowers with VersaMark and then embossed with clear embossing powder..the sentiment was also embossed with VersaMark and then embossed with white embossing powder. The border is a MS punch. This card was mailed to a new blogging friend who is going through a rough time with her health and I just wanted to let her know that my prayers and thoughts were with her during her difficult times. I hope you enjoyed your stay with me today and I will be sure to get out to see what you all have been up to as well. Thanks so much...may you day be blessed!

Cuttlebug card

Good morning! Well today's card is a simple cuttlebug card...but I think it is pretty. I created it using part of the Damask Frame cuttlebug die/embossing set...added some borders using some nestabilities and some ribbon. The stamp is part of a stamp from SU...didn't ink up the whole stamp as it wouldn't fit! I really need to get busy creating so I may not have anything to post tomorrow...but I will be back as soon as I can with some more goodies for you. Oh and yesterday, I spent the day with my friend Glitterbabe! We went to a stamp/craft show in St. Charles yesterday at the fairgrounds....my very first one! We had a blast and are sooooo looking forward to our June trip to Collinsville! The spot that Stef and I were both intriqued with was PK Bling! OMG, that was amazing glitter they have! Of course you know our Glitterbabe!!!! She HAD to get her hands in that sparkly stuff! I hope to make a card using the products we bought from that booth this week so be looking out for them! Have a wonderful day today and keep thinking SPRING! It is almost here! Thanks so much for stopping in to see me!

HUGS!
