Indescribable Gift - our daughter

                                        HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNDA!!!

Hi Friends

Today, April 9, is our daughter's birthday.  We are so proud of what a wonderful, caring and loving person you are.  Happy Birthday Lynda... you are indeed a special person and an "indescribable gift".  

Below is one of the cards we made at our SAS recently and I am dedicating it to her as her 'online' birthday card.  Just love her to pieces and will have another card I'm going to give her this weekend.  I'll show that one to you too... once she has it.  It's pretty special - stay tuned! 

She's in the midst of a home renovation but I have a feeling she'll see this on facebook and come over here today .... Happy Birthday honey.... we love you!!!

As you've noticed the stamp set is called 'Indescribable Gift' and is in the Occasions catalog.  The papers used are from the 2013 - 2015 In color stack which I love... and just ordered more.  I colored the flowers with my Copics and popped a pearl in the open flowers.  A bit of pistachio pudding ribbon and it's ready to go.  Hope you like it ... Hope Lynda likes it  =^..^=

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day

Balloon Bash

Hi Friends

Here's a happy little card using Balloon Bash from the Occasions Catalog.  We used the Birthday Bash DSP with a Calypso Coral card base.  The "celebrate" was stamped off twice and cut to fit in the banner.  The balloons are stamped in Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay, fussy cut, and popped up with dimensionals.  It's a really fun set to play with... hope you like it too.

Busy week, but I'll be back soon.  Don't forget about the

Such a great deal.  Have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Easter to EWE

Hi Everybody..... Happy Easter to you!

Yesterday I promised I would bring you another card from Taylored Expressions "Hello Spring" and here it is.  Hmmmm, once again, upon seeing the picture of my card I notice that it really does need a sentiment (a small one) in the upper right with the lambs.  Do you do that too?  For some reason I notice things on this monitor that I don't notice in real life. Oh well, my granddaughter will love it and it's on it's way to her right now.

So... back to the process of the card.  Once again, it's quite straight-forward in that I stamped off the little lambs and then colored with my Copics.  The paper selections are a little wild but I thought it worked... Paper is from My Mind's Eye 6 x 6 packet "Lime Twist".  The base of the card and the ribbon are pear pizzazz.

I hope you have a lovely day on Sunday

Happy Easter

Hoppy Easter

Hi Friends

Today's card is kind of a 'cuteness' overload but I love cute Easter cards.  I guess it's really more of a Spring card.  I used one of my favorite stamp sets called "Hello Spring" by Taylored Expressions. I'm not sure if it's still available as I've had mine for several years... but it's such a darling set.  Tomorrow I'll have another card using another image from this set.

I dug out a paper pack my daughter had given me that was all Easter themed called "Peep" by we R Memory Keepers, stamped my image on whisper white and colored with Copics.  My card stock base is Daffodil Delight, as is the cotton ribbon.  I have an edge punch that resembles grass and I'd intended to put it on too, but was afraid to spoil the clean look.  Now that I'm staring at it, I think the grass would have been cute.... oh well, next time... this one's in the mail to Indianapolis already!

That's about it for today... if you're blog surfing, have fun... if you're here just for me, then thanks so much and do come back soon.  Tomorrow more cute Easter....!

Best Day Ever and Bow Builder Punch

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share another card we made at the SAS.  I apologize for the 'slightly' messed up background but that happens sometimes and we just go with it!  The focus on this card is on the adorable bows anyway.  This is a new punch in the Occasions catalog and is soooo much fun to play with.  It's really easy too, which is always a plus.  Love it!

Found on feeling-crafty.blogspot.co.uk

This is such a fun punch with so many uses.  I hope you'll give it a try.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
