High Hopes for You!

I have been so wanting to spend more time with my High Hopes and participate in some of their challenges and have just not had time to do it so far. I was doing a little blurfing on blogs tonight and noticed they are looking for DT members so thought I would give this one a try. I had to use this sketch from Katarina which I think is a sweet sketch and I had fun using it. I left it in the direction she gave us but you could use it sideways as well. This little guy was sent to me from a friend and I just love the look on his face- reminds me of when my kids would bring me frogs or snakes (no thank you!) The yellow and greens are colors I do not use that often so that was my own personal challenge on this card. The paper is from BG cupcake paperpack- I got if from Kelly over at KLStampinNScrapping. The image is colored with copics as well!

You also need to stop over at KLSTampinNScrapping to see the new Easter Magnolia stamps that she is taking orders on- remember they are ALWAYS 10% off, what are you waiting for? They are some cuties! Here is one to tempt you!

Hope you enjoy him!

Hello all! I hope this post finds you all doing well, smiling and maybe enjoying your weekend! Yeha- you go girl!

This little image is so cute and not sure if you notice most of my cards are comprised of larger images so this was a little bit of a challenge for myself. Something I have been trying to do for some time now.... challenge MESelf. Anywho, the paper is from this wonderful DCWV paperpack that I got right after christmas on clearance. It had Valentine's, Easter, Halloween and Christmas paper (hence the clearance I guess). Either way- it has awesome paper in it. So this card really was a simple card, colored the image quickly with my copics, layered with pink and nesties and added a little bow! It is set for an Easter or Spring greating really!

Tata for now!

Candy

I won a handmade (or boughten) gift on another gals blog for being 1 of the first 5 to post to her blog. Part of the idea was that if I won I had to PIF something to 5 of my viewers so that is what I am going to do!

Here is how it goes:

1. The first 5 to post here will get a handmade or boughten prize from me.
2. I will mail these out in the next month (this makes it easier for me to remember)
3. You do not know what the item(s) are- they are my choice.
4. If you are the first 5 and want to participate- you must now go to your blog and post this same PIF to your viewers and PIF out 5 items.
5. Once you've listed this on your blog- come back and post that you've done it.

Have fun- challenge yourself, you are sending 'love" to someone you don't even know! (or maybe you do!)

Then you need to check out this wonderful blog candy over at paper therapy!

Also Lim is celebrating her anniversary of he blog- check it out here.
Hugs!

Bittersweet Bunny

Hoppy Day! Sorry, just had to say that. I could use some help today- do you know who makes this image? I think it is the cutest little bunny eva! I used some of my BG Bittersweet paper, SU pretty in pink and some K&Co paper. The punch is MS lace punch. I guess you could say that Valentine's Day is over and spring is coming along with Easter but I get to keep using my pink papers! For you all who do not know- I LOVE pink- it is definately soooo me! Anyways- thought I would put us in the mood for spring............as I need a little boost here!

Oh and check out the ladies blog candy- Rach and Bev have some unbelievable goodies up for grap and of course just visiting them you will be in awe.

Sorry- it is a quickie for today- will pop back soon though!

Sweet Lips!

Hello! I am back from vacation and we had such a wonderful time- it is nice to be home but the weather is less than desirable. I can honestly say I am ready for spring- what about you ladies?

While I was in Florida I picked up these 2 cute little chapsticks, well actually they are not that small they are fat chapsticks. I thought they would be so cute to alter and give to some little girls. I used BG Bittersweet on the one with the ice cream and that image is from CC designs (Sweet Treats). The other one is some other BG paper but I don't have the pack anymore so I can not recall which one it is. The flowers on the chapstick are All Natural Accents from Little C's- I tell you that I am loving these little flowers. You just need to check them out- they are home to Hawaii! Thats why they are so vibrant and festive- plus I think they give off some warmth! LOL!

I also want to say thank you to a couple ladies- Nikki honored me with this wonderful award last week while I was gone and I love it.

I would like to share this award with a couple ladies, all of which I find daily inspiration (but not limited to these ladies by any means- that list would take me foreva!) Tammi, Cheryl, and Cindy

Akkina gave me this wonderful award to share: there are so many ladies I could give this to but I would like to share with all of YOU!

Thank you for stopping in today!

Sweetness..............

I know Valentine's Day is over but I could not go without posting this card that I made. I can honestly tell you that no one received this card because I made it just before going on vacation and I didn't have time to sell it. My boys would not appreciate a card like this. But then I got to thinking, it would not have to be for Valentine's Day only! So- I will still try and sell it.

This little Sarah Kay image, My Sweet Lili is just too darned cute, I colored her with my copics (just so yummy!). The paper is of course Basic Grey new line Bitter Sweet! I just had to use some of this paper because it is delicious. I used a couple of the SU ribbons, one is the rose grograin and the brown is one from their specialty packs but I think it was from last year or so because once again I was hoarding it girls! LOL. I used a pop dot to lift of Lili so she was a little off the page!

I hope you like her as much as I do!

Remember how I said I wanted to use my embossing folders? Well I got this one from

KL Stampin N Scrappin and wanted to make a simple card to send to someone that is having a rough time. I embossed this onto SU Artichoke and then I took Very White pigment ink with a dauber and just daubed it onto the raised leaves. I added a little bow and done. I think that it would also be sweet to have an image of a small bird that I could put with the branch/leaves but low and behold I do not have one right now!
