Another Strawberry

Hello again.  Here is another strawberry card for you.  I think it is one of my favorites.  Just a perfect I am thinking of you card.

Off to see what else I can get into.  Chat with you later.

Happy Thursday

Hello.  I have to keep saying it is Thursday, because it really feels like a Friday.  Don't ask me why.  But I really want it to be Friday.  However, I do have to work tomorrow.  Sarah, remember that.  No, sleeping late tomorrow.

I am in a flower mood.  I warned you that there would be more flowers.  I found this new company (to me at least) that has some great digital flowers.  Power Poppy.  I picked out several I want.  I limited myself to two.  But once I have used them, I will be going back for more.  I found a sunflower vase that I will definitely be picking up.  They also have clear stamps, but I just love the digitals because I can sizing to what ever size will work at the time. 

It is hard to notice from the picture but the  small flower, I popped with some foam tape.

I am using this card in the following challenges:
   Crafty Gals - Add Flowers
   Penny's Challenges - Anything Goes #329
   Crafty Calendar - Flowers
   Wednesday's Inspiration - Anything Goes #275
   Your Next Stamp - Sketch #64

Chat with you later.  Have a great afternoon.

Hello.  I thought I would get a card in early this afternoon and maybe that will mean I have time to make a bout card later tonight.

With all of the Spring / Summer weather (it was 85 today), I have been in the mood to make flower cards.  I have several images, I want to color so I am sure you will be seeing a bunch over the next few days.

Shaker Card

Hello.  Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers out there.  I hope you have had a fantastic day.

I finally took some time to play on the computer.  I have made a couple of cards recently but I haven't taken the time to post.  Sorry about that.  I will try once again to do better.

I love making shaker cards.  I have seen several lately and it has got me thinking about all the ways I can make them.  Plus Queen & Co has several dies that I want to make shaker cards with.  So you will probably be seeing more over the summer months.

I used my standard heart dies on this one. 

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Catch The Bug - Shaker Card
   CAS-ual Friday - Birthday + 6 things (sequins)
   Simon Says Monday - Frame It (the shaker is framed)
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes #127
   CAS on Sunday - Shaker Card

Off to work on something before dinner.  Chat with you later hopefully.
