Spring Flowers

Hedgehog with Umbrella

I love this image!!! :D We were supposed to have rain today, so I thought it would perfect... it didn't rain, but oh, well! I've been hoarding this dp from Cosmo Cricket. I didn't have any ribbon that would work, so I colored a cream colored twill ribbon with my B97 copic marker.

More Geraniums

I had to make a post office run today & on our way home, we noticed a new place open for business in our tiny little town. It's a nursery, the flower kind!!! :) We had to stop today & ended up bringing home a few more flowers. My hubby just smiled at my haul!!! :) He had already seen the new seeds that I planted today... I had ordered some seeds on ebay & part of them arrived today. We are going to have flowers everywhere!!! :D :D

I tried to sponge around this image & it was a little splotchy. It does show up better in real life, I have the hardest time getting the sponging to show up in my photos. (I am going to retake the picture tomorrow morning in the natural light.)

I'm feeling a little out of my comfort zone. I need a birthday card for a 4 year old girl. Now, I know this will come as a complete shock to some of you, but I don't have that many stamps for little girls! LOL! I don't even own pink stickles!!! I had to use crystal stickles on the pink ice cream. I used this week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge

We found another snake in the yard today... I didn't include a picture of this one. I know some of you will appreciate that!!! *wink*

Bread & Jam For Francis


It's been a few days since I posted, I've been working on getting flowers planted! :D
The Gina K. illustrators blog hop theme was to chose a favorite children's book & make a card using one of the new sets for this month to create a card. One of my favorite books as a kid was Bread & Jam for Francis. My Mom said I used to have a record that went with the book & I wore the record out. I used the colors from the book to create my card. The wisteria is in full bloom here. I snapped this picture Saturday.

Stamps: Sending Sunshine Gina K.

MTSC68 Sympathy

A friend of mine called me today... she's a hospice nurse & one of her patients died overnight. She needed a sympathy card & couldn't find one to meet her requirements at the gold crown store she was standing in. She wanted a green & purple polka dot card with yellow accents & purple violets. Could I create something to fit the bill? Since I just *love* purple, I wasn't sure that I would have any purple polka dot paper. I thought I was going to have to make my own, but I did find this little scrap of Almost Amethyst dp.

I made this to follow Mercy's Tuesday Sketch

Stamps: Violet Cupcake Lockart
C/S: Almost Amethyst, New Leaf, white
DP: Almost Amethyst
New Leaf ribbon, copics, lemon pearls, circle nestabilities
