Find Joy....


I purchased this butterfly stamp last Summer while in Wisconsin for a wedding and this is the first time I put ink to it.  Not sure why I didn't do this sooner, it's a very nice stamp :)

I took inspiration for my card from the Fusion Challenge sketch this week.  I added some red to the butterfly to accent the photo for the fusion challenge:

Glad you stopped by, hope you find some joy in the ordinary today :)

Wish Big!


Well, why not?  If you are wishing you might as well Wish Big!!

I keep trying to break away from the colors I always go to, blues, greens and pinks.  I'm making progress, only used a little bit of blue and green on the butterflies :)  

I'm entering this card to 2 challenges this week:

Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy!

Gnome Friends


Gnomes again, can't get enough of these cute little guys.  I just got a kick out of this whole My Favorite Things "You Gnome Me" stamp set that I recently added to my stamping stash.  

I am going to post this card to the My Favorite Things Facebook page and to the challenge over at Virginia's View - layers & dimensions.


Thanks for stopping by today, Gnomes Rule!!

Hello


Sketch #182 over at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog is very clean & simple (CAS) this week.  Since I'm in a "Spring state of mind" I put flowers and a butterfly together for my card.  The little hello and butterfly dies are from Memory Box.  Here's the FMS sketch:

So glad you flew over to my blog today :)

Pawsitively Awesome


This little girl and her dog stamp from My Favorite Things is so darn cute.  This could be me when I was a little girl.  I've always had dogs and can't imagine life without them.

Happy Spring


Springtime in the Rockies, beautiful.  We always have some rain, some terrific thunder and lightning storms, 70 degree days, 40 degree days, and it goes on and on.  I LOVE SPRINGTIME!

I am going to enter this card in 2 challenges:

A very Happy Spring to you :)

Runway Inspired #81


The inspiration for this card comes from a fun dress by Jeremy Scott at the Runway Inspired Challenge.  I love the colorful dress (see below) and was inspired to cut scrap paper into pieces for my card.  I glued the pieces of paper together, added a circle sentiment, a feather and a sparkly gem.

Here's the dress:

Happy you stopped by my blog, get colorful today and have fun :)

A thank you card...


Predominantly Black is the color challenge at Less Is More this week.  

I needed a thank you card and this card fits the bill perfectly.  You see, I recently stayed at a friend's house while out of state and every morning I was awaken by the sweet chirps of little sparrows who had made a nest under the window.

So glad you stopped by, Happy Easter to you and yours.
