Hippo Hippo Hooray

Fourth and final card for todays challenges. I found this cute little hippo stamp yesterday and wanted to try out my new Copics. I definitely need to learn how to use them, but, had to start somewhere, right? I love them already. tfl.......d

3rd Card of the Day

This is my 3rd card today.......it was challenge #10, to use a circle or an oval. I love this scalloped Bigz die. Added the Nestabilitie ovals and ta da....a quick and simple card!

Robyn's Mother's Day challenge

This is my take on Robyn's Mother's Day card challenge. My sweet Hazel loves purple, and this card is for her. I bought a few of the new QuicKutz embossing folders yesterday and decided to use this one for the challenge. I also used (for the first time ) Core'dinations Classic Sunshine cardstock and sanded over the embossing. Another simple card, that makes two for the day so far...........tfl....d

A card in under an hour?

Robyn at the Pink Stamper http://www.thepinkstamper.blogspot.com/

is having challenges on her blog today for National Scrapbook day. Go check out her site, there are lots of fun things going on there! I challenged myself to make a card in an hour. Probably not a lofty goal for most, but, I am the SLOWEST stamper on the planet, so, it was quite a goal for me. I did challenge number 1.......Use pink and brown together. I guess I could also count this as challenge number 2 because I have never used my Cuttlebug to cut felt before, but, I will try to come up with something else for that challenge. Today on Lauren's site, she had a tutorial on cutting felt in your Cuttlebug, so, I gave it a whirl. It worked great! Here is the link to her site. http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ I forgot to look at the clock when I started making the card, but, I think my hour was up, so, even though I thought of a few things I could add to the card, I stopped. tfl......d

Cupcake/Versatility box

I saw this tutorial on Lauren's blog. She designed this really cute box, and I had to try making one. You can get the info on her site: http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/category/tutorials/

Inside is the little flower pot from the Target dollar spot. Having a Scor-Pal really helps for making all of the score lines. Love that tool! tfl.......d

Goodbye my sweet Sunkist

Peggy Loves Vintage

We received images this week from Peggy Loves Vintage. She has some darling images. I chose to work with the elephant, The challenge was to use it with the inchbag on the Tags Bags and Boxes cartridge. Perfect size for a gift card! I used a glaze pen on her toenails and fingernails, and a little bling on her bow. tfl....d

Inchies in a frame

Isn't this cool? I love it! My swap pal, Jan, sent this to me. She framed all of these adorable inchies. She is so talented and creative and I was so excited when I opened this fun gift. I came home from Las Vegas yesterday to this fun mail.
My grandson is doing better. The antibiotics seem to be working his infection seems to be gone now. He came home from the hospital Sunday afternoon. It was a wonderful Easter gift!

Our sweet little Zachary

I'm in Las Vegas right now with our new little grandson, Zachary. He is 6 weeks old now. He has been in the hospital since Monday. So far, we know he has a bladder infection, and enlarged kidneys. His fever is gone, and he is eating really well. We are hoping he will be home in time for the Easter Bunny.

Have a sunshiny day

Another WhipperSnapper stamp. I love this bunny.......so cute! I added Stickles to the words, leaf, and the bunny's nose. A little Paper Glaze to the ladybug. The large scalloped circle was cut with Mini Monograms and the smaller, green one is a punch. tfl.........d
