Paper Piecing

The challenge over at Just Us Girls this week is "paper piecing".  I was thrilled to see the challenge as I love to fussy cut and paper piece.  I chose this stamp from Prima, Julie Nutting "Megan" for my card today.

I stamped Megan twice, once on white cardstock and once on red and white flower paper.  I cut the flower skirt out and put a piece of a doily around the waist.  Added some red gems around her neck and splattered on the card.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up, thought it was perfect for this card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Snow, snow and more snow today in the Rockies :)

Freshly Made Sketches #285

Lately I can't seem to get enough of Color, wonderful, bright colors!  And, my Zig markers provide me with the perfect medium to color and watercolor stamped images.

I made this sweet cat & butterfly card for this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, please see the sketch below:

So glad you stopped by today.

Snow, snow and more snow in the Rockies today :)

April Showers

April showers bring May flowers, there most likely aren't too many people who haven't heard this little saying :)  The challenge over at The Card Concept this week is April Showers and although the lovely photo provided for the challenge has flowers and boots I chose to focus on the "showers".

This little girl stamp called Patsy from Whipper Snapper is adorable and I always like bringing her to life with color and sparkles.  I used a new paper pad by Lawn Fawn for the background and umbrella, love the plaids and colors in this paper pad.

Here is the inspiration photo:

Thanks for stopping by today, those April showers are coming down at our house today :)

Love brings us home....

I like the sentiment on my card "Life takes us in unexpected places, Love brings us HOME".  I made this card for the challenge at Muse Card Club this week.  One of my favorite stampers, Kay Miller, provided the Muse card for us and here it is:

Thanks for stopping in today.

Oh, Auntie Em "There's no place like Home"

Less Is More - Stripe

I made this card for this week's challenge at Less Is More, challenge #325 - Stripe.  The coffee cup is from Stampin' Up, the donut girl and sentiment are from Neat & Tangled; I just love this set it's so darn cute.  Don't know about you but I can always enjoy a cup of coffee and a donut. 

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Dogwood Branches

This week's challenge at Casology is the word Grow.  Again, I'm trying my hand at CAS cards and although I may have missed the mark this week I'm going to give it a go and enter my card in the challenge.  I used Memory Box dogwood branch stamp and stamped it twice.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for popping by today.

The flowers are starting to bloom in the foothills, won't be long now :)
