FS367 Note of Gratitude

This weeks Featured Stamper 367 is Jennifer aka Mothers Daughter. Wonderful gallery with loads of creations for everyone's style. I choose this Happy Birthday card to case. I kept the white textured layers, decorative oval shape, a red flower. I changed the stamp, moved my sentiment, added pearls  and changed my textures.

This is a free digital image called Tuberose from Digital Two for Tuesday's blog. She has some wonderful images on there for all you digi girls.  ;-)   These are printed on heavy white card stock and colored with Copic markers. I layered my ovals and added dimensionals to the back. This textured plate had not been used in a while so I pulled that out today and added some sparkles which is really hard to see in the photo. A few pearls and voila!  Hope you can play along this week! Have a great day.

Tulips for January

Today is Friday and whohoo for the weekend! The boys first game got cancelled last night by the other team.  :-(  So we have another week of practice before the first game, nothing wrong with that. Busy weekend for us which is not a surprise. DH looked at the calendar and said is there any day free the next few months.  I just giggled. Anyways.... Been working on some special requests lately and this is one of them. An altered clipboard with a 2015 Calendar.


This was super easy to create and makes for a great gift. If you are interested in seeing how I altered this or want to create your own check out my Altered Clip Board Tutorial. I stamped the tulips from Dynamic Duos on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. Once colored I carefully cut around them and added dimensionals to the back to pop them up. A few scattered rhinestones and voila!

Thanks so much sunflowers

Good morning. These sunflowers were calling my name to color. These are from Sunny Harvest that I stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. Then I carefully cut around the image and popped them up on dimensionals on my oval shape. A decorative frame and shape base with some gingham designer paper. A twine bow with my wooden button and a few pearls to finish it off. Voila ! Have a wonderful day!

You are Amazing.. Spidey


Hee hee  Spidey Henry here today. What a fun image to color I tell you. He is a FREE Digi from WOJ and you can find him HERE. Working on more cards for the kids this weekend and here is one for the boys. Spidey Henry is colored with Copic markers and die cut with a Spellbinders Circle. 

Behind his panel is a blue die cut using Large Nested Tag Die-Light with a red felt Star Nested Die-Light . They both have a silver eyelet with a bit of twine wrapped through and a bow. My sentiment is perfect for Spidey from the General Sentiments set. Voila! Fun and will make a little one smile. Hope you have a wonderful day!

I kept thinking, stop coloring

Yet I kept going and going trying to blend these colors. ack!!! Sometimes I just need to step away from the markers and take a breather! Well good morning! ha ha  Sorry for the rant. Today is Power Poppy Friday and we hope you pull out markers and play with us today. Check out the Power Poppy blog for all the details!

My creation is using Arranging Roses... Yumo! I adore these roses in the vase and do you see my vase? Yep I played around with some texturing and my colorless blender stuff. I like how the vase turned out, don't you? Various Copics were used to try and color these flowers. A simple Spellbinders die to frame them and a few pearls for the corner for fun. Voila!

Birthday scene

Good morning! A quick guy card today for a friend. This would be his favorite birthday scene, not really mine. Unless you had a hot tub and a relaxing spa treatment to go with it looking out some large bay window. hee hee   This is an older set from Close To My Heart called Hunting that I am most certain is retired by now. This is one of the first sets I got long ago and pulled out to play with.
My Elk is stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. A little diamond back textures and my sentiment on a twine tag. Voila!
Have a fabulous day!

Seasons Greetings from the meeces

September 1st and that means the new Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge is up and its "Christmas Bingo" this month! See the attached Bingo Card to the Christmas Thread. I went diagonal with pearls, image and ribbon for my creation.


 These darling house mouse are called Silent Mice. They are colored with Copic markers with a little bit of stickles added to the leaves. Wrapped my ribbon and lace trim which I know... you can't see. That wasn't planned out very well when I was die cutting with my Grand Dies from spellbinders but oh well I know its there. HA! Added my textures with swiss dots and voila! Hope you can play along this month!
