FSS Wee Hummingbird

Good morning! Well back from my business trip...oh my gosh it was so nice and warm in Arizona and it is so unseasonably cool here at home! But I do love fall, and I am ready for a change in the season. I am all unpacked and had a little time yesterday to play...soooo above you will see my creation! I used the FSS Wee Huminbird colored image and desaturated it in photoshop...wanted to work with black and white yesterday but ended up with gray and pink! I do love how it turned out though. The MS punch around the page punch that I used was Vintage Floral. The embossing folder is one from Paper Studios (Hobby Lobby) and I scored the right hand side of the card with the ScorPal. Of course had to add some fancies to the card...all the pink flat back pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty and the pretty pink flouish on the side is from Cheery Lynn Designs called Tropical Flourish. I am finding that I really like the lacey feel and look to the MS punch. I think I will use it quite often.
Today I will be out taking pictures for my photography class...my honey got me a Cannon Rebel for my birthday in July and I am now taking a class to learn how to use it...it was too expensive of a camera to just use it as a point and shoot camera so off to school I go! We will be getting 2 of our grandsons for an overnight visit later on in the day today after church. Hope your day is filled with fun today as well! Thanks tons for stopping in to see me...as always I appreciate the love you leave!
HUGS!

FSS Hydrangea

Good morning! Still out in Arizona but had this card made ahead of time and wanted to share. I had a blast with this card! The image is from Fred She Said called Hydrangea Bouquet. Is it just beautiful? There is a lot going on with this card...the embossing is from a Paper Studio embossing folder that I had purchased from Hobby Lobby...sorry I didn't write down the name of it. The patterned paper on the bottom was from SU. And oh my gosh I am loving that doily die from Cheery Lynn Designs!!! It was just perfect for this card. The bling added at the bottom of the card I had purchased on sale at Michael's quite some time ago. Around the doily you see some flat embellies...these were actually a string of flat pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty and I cut them off the string to place one by one on the doily. I really like how this card turned out and hope you do too! Well I have a busy day of meetings today so need to get moving...I hope you have a blessed day and thank you very very much for stopping in to see me and leaving some love!
HUGS!

Doodle Pantry Ant Masquerade

Good morning! Just wanted to share this fun card with you! OMG is this the cutest image or what? This is one of many images and sentiments included in the "ANTS MASQUERADE COLORED PACK" at the Doodle Pantry. Once the image was printed, I used nestabilities to cut it out and mat it...added my ribbon and a homemade flower. The butterflies are from an MS punch just cut from the border strip and placed on the corners for "fun". The swirly is a flourish die from Sizzix. And that awesome butterfly paper...it is included in the colored set as well...this is a really fun set and is so versatile. As you can tell, I am having quite a lot of fun playing with the Doodle Pantry Design Team this month as their Guest Designer. Just take a walk through the store and you will see instantly why I am having so much fun!
Well, I am going to be leaving for the airport here in about half an hour. Will be back on Friday but hope to have another card posted more towards mid week.
One last important note...Today is the 10th anniversary of Sept 11...please take a moment to remember all those who lost their lives ten years ago in the terrorist attack on our country. God Bless the USA.
HUGS!
