'Sprinkled' with hearts

Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday!...We're half way through the week already! :)
Hope all is well?!

Today, I'm swinging on in with a card to share for the current Casology challenge!



Here's my card.




Why not 'sprinkle' someone with hearts/love?!...
I had yet to use this stamp set, so I knew I had to ink it up! ;) 

I kept things nice and simple, I just stamped sprinkles of hearts here and there. After, stamped on my sentiment and yes, of course, I used that darn wonky stitched die again. lol Guess I'm certainly am getting my use out of it...lol ;) 

Well, that's all for me today! My kids have early release today, so I'm taking it easy and trying to catch up on some commenting, etc. I'm also making some homemade gluten free cinnamon rolls, too! Yum... :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Hi there!

Hey y'all! Happy Monday! :)
Hope your week is off to a great start?!...

Well, here my kids and I are counting down the days until school is out! I believe we're now to 20 days left?!...Yay! :) We've been patiently not so patiently waiting to get back out in the water! This is the absolute longest we haven't been in the water!! (reason being, the water temp has been far too cold for us! lol Anything under 80 is a no go. yeah, probably crazy to some. lol ;))

Anyhoo, have y'all seen the challenge at Virginia's View?!!...There's a fun link up party going on and I just knew I had to join in on the fun, too! :)







I went with making a simple and fun card. I only have inked up those little birds a couple times, so I thought I would ink them up again. ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day and have a great week!

Happy Sunday!

Hey y'all!
Happy Sunday! Hope all is well?!...

Just a short post today.
I'm just swinging in to share a sweet little card. My friend Vera sent my a little package the other day and in it was a super sweet stamp set. So I had to ink it up!...Thank you again, Vera! :)




Yep. I did some more coloring. Who knew coloring was so relaxing and fun at the same time?!...I'm still not the best at coloring, though I just can't stop! ;) So what do you think?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your Sunday!
See y'all soon!!

I know what love is...

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday!

I've have just a short and sweet post today, as in I have a sick kiddo at home. :( *knock on wood* Hopefully, this is the end of whatever it is...really don't need it going down the line, if you know what I mean!?! ;)

Anyhow, I recently won some digi's from 2 Cute Ink from commenting on the Spring Coffee Lovers blog hop! :) Now, if you know me, you know I don't really use any digital images at all. So this was all new territory to me. To be honest, I didn't even know where to start! lol After looking at all 2 Cute Ink's images, which by the way are all so cute! ;)  I simply chose the ones I wanted, downloaded them, and printed them out. Easy peasy.

However, I still really had no clue of what I was to do with them afterwards! lol



Well, coloring for sure was the answer! lol ;) After I finished my coloring, I used one of those darn wonky stitched dies again! (hopefully, I'm not boring you with that either?! lol) Once done, I added my sentiment which was from The Ton Stamps. Nice and simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
See y'all soon! :)

A 'Happy Birthday' to a friend!

Hey y'all!
Happy Sunday!

I'm swinging on in today with a birthday card for a sweet friend of mine...

Happy Birthday, Monika!! :)
Monika, I hope your day is filled with smiles and lots of cake! Enjoy!
(Your birthday gift is already on the way to you, so you'll be able to enjoy it soon. Though for now, you'll just have to look at the card on here. ;))



Monika loved my tulips from one of my other cards I shared, so tulips she got! ;) And I know she loves the color purple...so purple tulips it is! 

I honestly just was having fun making this card. I used Neat & Tangled's Ornate Frames die with black cardstock, which I layered three times. After, I did some coloring using Waffle Flowers Welcome Spring stamp set and then used the matching dies afterwards. Once done, I finished off everything with Waffle Flowers Celebrate word die and Waffle Flowers Congrats stamp set. 



Also, if you haven't already heard or seen about it, Monika has a fun challenge blog you can play at!! Creative with Stamps has their first challenge started but there's still plenty of time to play along! So, I'm gonna add this card to the linky as well. *Note: I did 'space' that the challenge was butterfly...who would have thought I'd put a little butterfly on my card?! lol Glad I did! ;) 

Well, that's all for me today! 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
See y'all soon!

Little Tangles-Hello friend

Hey y'all!
Hope all is well?! :)

Today we have a fun new challenge at Little Tangles! This time we're all about 'die cutting'...who doesn't love some die cuts?!!

A little bit about my card...
I wasn't really sure where this card was gonna lead me! lol To be quite honest, I actually had a different card made up for this challenge! Though, I wasn't sure if I was loving it or not. So I continued to play around more and ended up with what I'm sharing now. ;)





Having fun mixing some new with the (slightly) old. I used the Graduated Stripes Cover Plate for my background. After, I used the Ornate Frames stamp set along with the matching die set. Once I had my frame die cut piece, I took the inside piece of the frame out and stamped on my little flower which is from the Scandinavian Prints stamp set. After I did a die cut of one more frame, so I could layer my frames together. Once I had my frames together, I used a little foam tape and added it to my card. Once done, I then added my 'picture' inside of the frame. To finish things off, I added my sentiment and some twine. I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to Little Tangles and see all the DT projects! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us!! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

watercolor hello

Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday!
Hope all is well?!...

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the current Pinterest Inspired Challenge! It's been waaay too long since I've last played along with this challenge! When I saw the inspiration photo, it certainly did inspire me! ;)



This is what I came up with.




As you can see, I did some watercoloring! lol...And I did it the traditional way of adding watercolor to my brush and paper! lol I have to say, I like how it came out. ;) After doing my watercolor, I pulled out an SUPER old stamp set...sooo old, I couldn't even tell you what company the set is from! Though, I wasn't gonna let that stop me from using it. ;)
To finish things off, I used one of the wonky stitched dies again. Then added my die cut 'hello' pieces, which I stapled them on and added some twine. Simple, yeah?!...I'd love to hear what you think?!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day! :)

Waffle Flower Challenge-Get well soon

Well, hello, hello!
Hope all is well?! :)

I am thrilled to announce that the Waffle Flower Challenge is continuing on and all of us DT ladies were invited back as well! Yay! I love this team...Thank you Nina and Tessa for having me back again! :)

So here's our inspiration photo.



And this is what I came up with.





I think you can see how I was inspired by the photo. ;) For my bouquet, I used the new Lacy Flower Mats die. Which for the bigger die, I used kraft cardstock and then I used the next biggest one with clear vellum to add inside of my kraft cardstock. Once done, I scored some lines to make my bouquet. After I added some twine.
For my flowers inside my bouquet I used the new Welcome Spring stamp set along with the matching die set.  I did some simple coloring and then added them in my bouquet. Which for a couple of the flowers, I snipped off the leaves and then added them back in the bouquet where I wanted them.
Once having my bouquet done, I added my sentiment to my card which is from the new Lacy Flower stamp set, then placed on my bouquet with foam tape on the back.

So what do you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to the Waffle Flower Challenge and see all the DT projects! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us!! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
