Wow...Easter is coming

I found these cute Easter Digi's over at digi stamp boutique.  With some cute DP from Claudia and Company (- you have to check out this site for the "sample packs" of 6x6 paper.  She has the latest releases and what a steal for $3 a pack!!!), fun coloring with copics, buttons, twine, ribbon, brads and liquid pearls.... oh what one to send out and what one to keep????? :)

Enjoy!

Celebrate!

When I came across this teen boy digi from Claudia and Company I knew I needed to get it as I have a teenager and even though he thinks some of my cards are "cute" he still deserves an age appropriate card.

I had so much fun with this.  I used the SFYTT March sketch:

which you can find over at iheart2stamp march-sketch-for-you-to-try.  I also had fun using my kraft paper so I can enter it into this months the spotted chick thats-krafty-thursday-49 challenge.  Check out these talented inspirations with the links to their blogs.

I used some old DP and stuck with a brown/blue theme with throwing in a little silver with the eyelets and ribbon, colored with copics, cuttlebug embossed the large brown background and stapled those ribbons.  Well thinking about it now, without planning...brown and blue are my son's fav colors :)...

Enjoy.

Summer time weather!

Well, it is that time of year here in south Texas that spring jumps right into summer!  Weather is already in the mid 80's and it's time to get back to the weekly yard work.  My hubby has the pool open and ready for swimming - but I like my water a little warmer before I jump in (as today it was 76 degrees brrr....). 

So with the feeling of summer in the air, I chose this cute digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps. 

Enjoy!

I'm a Kraft CHiCK!!!

What a surprise ( woohoo ) when I rec'd the email from Jeanie letting me know I was one of the winners with the last Krafty Chick Challenge over on one of my {favorite sites} The Spotted Chick.  See my post from Feb 25 to see the card I submitted. 

 

Well...sorry about my little hiatus from blogging - we were enjoying a spring break vacation in California and now it is back to reality...and time to get back to the scrap room as my package of papers from Claudia and Company and I can't wait to dig in!

What a cutie!

Now isn't this just the cutest little girl?  Dressed up in her lady bug outfit and sitting on that great big sunflower....I {adore} this digi from Pink Cat Studio.

 Enjoy!

Wow! What a give away!

While blogging I came across this great site and look at the blog giveaway (OMG!).  I love to sew on my cards.  I use my mom's old sewing machine, but have from time to time thought about coming into the modern era and splurging for a new one with multiple more options!

Check out the giveaway over at Keepsakesbymelissa.blogspot.com 

:) now, to be lucky enough to win!

My happily ever after...

What a cute image from Digi Stamp Boutique  I have done a few others from the "Zoe" collection (you can see in older posts on my blog) but this one has Zoe's prince with her.  When I saw it, I thought what a cute anniversary card/love card/wedding card.  When I was creating the card last night, I knew I would be saving this for my hubby and our 17th wedding anniversary this coming June as he is my happily ever after! :)

Aren't these papers the best?  These are from the new My Minds Eye collection Stella and Rose.  I will be entering this card into the DigiStamp Boutique March challenge!

Enjoy!

Meet the dino's...

When I came across this digi at Pink Cat Studio I knew I had to get it (along with all the others in the set).  My first thought was to make one for my cousin's little boy who is a dino maniac - he knows them all and is full of knowledge!

Enjoy!

Feel Better...

Don't you just love this little gnomie?  She is bringing you get well wishes with her flowers!  This great image is one of the recent releases of digis from Pink Cat Studio.  What great coloring to my partner in scrapping (Mom!).  She colored the image to match with the papers I picked out.  Then I put the card together - pleating the ribbon and adding some liquid pearls (which came in my box of goodies from Stampers Dream - a great web store I frequently order from and the owner Michelle is super sweet!)

The inside of the card says:  Get Well!

Enjoy!
