Happy Spring!

Happy Friday everyone. Today I am getting crafty with Simon Says Stamp: Abby's Spring Showers and Winnie & Walter Cutaways. I used this cute stamp set in two ways. I purchased this stamp set because of the adorable bear but now that I have it I really do love all these sweet images.

Stamping and coloring on wood again. You know it is so easy to do I just love it. I can put them on gifts as a tag. I love personalizing gifts and this is a cheap way to do it.

• Stamp on wood with Memento tuxedo black ink pad.
• Color with Copic Markers (it is that simple)
• You can put ModPodge over the top to protect the color).

I always have to make a card. It is just my passion. With Spring right around the corner I am in a Spring mood. We have been having the best weather here in CO. March is usually a snowing month but it has been sunny and cool at night. It does make it a little dry so I hope we do not get any fires in the mountains. 

Well that is my day and ready for a fun weekend.

Hope you enjoy your weekend too.

Happy Crafting.

Thinking of You...

Yeah it is Wednesday. We are almost there. Yesterday it was an old t-shirt and sweats day. It just snowed and snowed yesterday so we are literally covered in snow. Yay for winter. Did I mention I am so ready for Spring? Well the part of Spring that does not snow. 

So I have a friend who has lots her dog recently and feeling sad so I thought I would send her this card using: Simon Says Stamp: Always & Forever, Mama Elephant: Playful Pups and Papertrey Ink dies. I know exactly how she feels when it comes to loosing a pet. Those little furry 4 legged friends really do become part of the family.

Have a great Wednesday,

Thanks for stopping by.

Warm My Heart...

Happy Tuesday everyone. Well it is snowing outside and has been for a while now. Sammy goes crazy outside and it is just the cutest thing ever. Messy but cute. So my Christmas tree is dying and we have to take it back and get another. NOT FUN having to take all the decorations off and then put them back on. But don't want a dead tree. 

So today I am linking up to the 2015 Winter/Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I was trying to think of something different to do with my coffee stamp set. I only have one other and well I don't want to bore you with the same card everytime. So I created this fun little Lawn Fawn scene. I am using: Lawn Fawn: Toboggan Together, Winter Gifts, Snowy background die and Simon Says Stamp: What's Brewing. I love this background die...

You can also link up HERE, you have until the 18th.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting.

On today's card I am playing with SRM Stickers: Stickers By the Dozen (Christmas), Simon Says Stamp Gnome of the Holidays, Tim Holtz Festive stencil and Papertrey Ink tree shaker die filled with Martha Stewart small star sequins. Another interesting color combo for a Christmas card but I like it. 

Have a great day.

Naughty or Nice...

Well now that Halloween is over I have Christmas on the brain. I have to admit I really want to decorate for Christmas but I will wait a few more weeks. MAYBE.. 

My mother-in-law just left today after being here for a week. I did not get much blogging time so now back to normal today. I thought it might be fun to post this Christmas card I made a week ago. The stamp set used is from Simon Says Stamp: Winter Friends. You know me and cute little faces. I just got to have it.

As I look through Bloglovin I see that I have missed a lot. I will be stopping by today to see those amazing projects you all have been making. 

Thanks for being awesome.

Have a great day.

Rain Rain Go Away...

Happy day everyone.. I just got this set and it is perfect timing because I am a little sick of the rain we are getting. I know that we all need the rain but we have had no summer here. I think we are skipping it and going straight into fall. You would think that I live in Seattle or something. But the best part is that my flowers look amazing. 

On today's card I am playing with Simon Says Stamp: Abby's Spring Showers and Full Card Hourglass. This set is so fun.. I love all the images in it. I took the die and layered it three times. I really like the way it came out. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting.

Missing You...

Happy Friday everyone. Today I am playing with Simon Says Stamp: Sparkle and Shine. I added some fun sequins to the center of the flowers to give them that fun sparkle. 

On today's card I am playing with Simon Says Stamp: Always & Forever stamp set. I LOVE these flowers and I have to say they where fun to color too. I added some fun white dots using a Gelly Roll pen. My new favorite thing to do. This card is simple but sweet...don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a crafty sweet day.

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...

Yay for Coffee Lovers Bloghop.

Well who doesn't love a good cup of coffee. The best part is making fun coffee cards. Today I am playing with Simon Says Stamp: What's Brewing and Um Wow Studio: Stencil. On this stencil I just left off the light bulb and put this cool coffee cup. 

I used Tsukineko Memento Luxe: Morocco and Radiant Neon: Electric Blue, Electric Yellow, Electric Purple and Electric Coral. Mixing it up with all sorts of fun colors. You know how much I love bright colors.

It is suppose to snow like crazy here this weekend. Apparently the most snow they have seen in three years. I don't know how I feel about all the snow but I am so ready. Today I have a pot of Chili Bean cooking with some delicious meat. Nothing like warming the belly.

Well thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a great weekend.

Celebrate Anything...

Happy Wednesday everyone. Today I am sharing yet another Silhouette card. I am just amazed on the patterns they have in the store. I have a subscription and really think it is the best purchase ever. The patterned paper is from American Crafts and the sentiment is a mixture of Technique Tuesday and Simon Says Stamp die cut. 

And we have a roof.

 

I love how the rooms are all looking like rooms. 

I think we can official say we have a house. YAY

Tomorrow I am having lunch with Michelle Gross, Wida Miller and Danielle Flanders. Can't wait.. Well so far that is all my excitement. I am also cleaning house today but I don't think that is exciting at all. Anyone want to do it for me. lol

Thanks for stopping by.
