Learning to ride my bike

This was a super fun and easy layout to make using the Mayberry paper pack and stickers from Close to my Heart.

Loving Nature Stamps

I am really loving these background nature stamps. I have such a hard time resisting them no matter how similar they are to what I already have. Today, I went by Joann's and passed by the stamps. With just a quick glance, I spotted this one immediately. Even though I have three that are almost identical to it, it called my name...loudly. I can't find the name on the block, but it is by Inkadinkadoo. The paper is retired from CTMH and the flowers from a punch-out pas by K&Company.

By The Sea

One of my favorite blogs to visit is that of Suzzane Dean of scrapbitz.blogspot.com. One day while I was blog surfing, I came across a card that she had made using a new stamp set from Gina K. called By The Sea. I was so inspired by her card that I had to order the stamp set. And, here is my card.

Mimi in Paris

I am so intrigued by images of the Eiffel Tower that when I saw this stamp set from Penny Black called Mimi in Paris, I had have it.

Thinking of You

I have a friend who is not doing well health wise and I am hoping this card will bring her some cheer. The stamp set is Empty Nest and the paper Miracle, both from CTMH.

Happy Spring

Today I went to Jazzy Crafts and made this card using Marci from La-La Land Crafts. I was so excited when I saw this little picket fence in the store along with Marci because Irina, from La-La Land, has a project on her blog, Everything Paper Crafts, using the fence. I am so happy with the way it turned out.

Timely Bird

This past weekend a good friend of mine took me to a class at an out of the way scrapbook store. It was so much fun to get out and play with mixed media and learn how to "Junque." After the class, I spent some time shopping and came across this stamp called "Timely Bird" from Hero Arts. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but once I got home I started playing and came up with this card. I stamped the image in Barn Red ink and went over the bird with a blending pen. For the flower, I used Sunflower and Sorbet ink. And for the leaves I used Topiary ink. Both were done with a blending pen as well. After my image was colored, I took some Perfect Pearls Mist and went over it with a light spray and gave some shimmer to it. Then I took some Stickles and gave the flower center a little sparkle. The paper is from Bo Bunny "The Gabrielle Collection" and K&Company "Julianne." The ink is from CTMH and the flowers are from Recollections. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Ballerina Marci

This little sweetie is Ballerina Marci. She is from LaLa Land Crafts.

Day Dreaming Peeker

What's a person to do who is layed up with a broken leg??? If that person is me, it would be to surf the internet for new crafting ideas and online shopping. Who says you can't spend money when you are stuck at home. lol. While stumbling across blogs, I came across this adorable new "Peekers" Collection and just had to have them. They came yesterday. I got out my ink and blending pen and painted "Day Dreaming Peeker." Isn't she just to cute?I gave her tutu and ballet slippers a little sparkle with Stickels. What little girl doesn't like sparkles? The paper is from CTMH.

Mojo Monday 188

It's been a while since I last participated in a Mojo Monday sketch challenge and it felt so good to finally do one. Today, the "newest" set of Copic Markers came in the mail. I have been waiting patiently for them to arrive. So, when I saw them in the mail, I couldn't wait to try them out. I mixed some of the new colors with exhisting shades on Tilda. The colors that I used are:
Hair YR30 and E23
Skin: E000, E00, E21, R20
Dress, socks and bow: RV63 and RV 66
Flower: RV55, R81, YG61 and YG63

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Daisy Girl Scouts

Lexi is a Daisy Girl Scout and is having so much fun making new friends. For my layout I used K & Company's line of Girl Scout paper and stickers.

Ticket for Two

I am loving these new Kenny K Stamps. They are so much fun to color. This is Biker Girl. She is colored with Copic markers. The paper used is Fanfare from Close to My Heart. The ticket stubs are Just the Ticket, also from CTMH.

A Hop

I made this cute Easter card using the stamp set "A Hop" from CTMH. This little bunny reminds me of the chocolate ones that I used to get in my Easter basket as a kid. His ear looks yummy enough to take a bight out of. The patterned paper is from the Mayberry paper pack.

Easter Layouts with Miracle

These are the layouts that my Scrappin' Ladies will be making this month. My good friend Lori has been so gracious to lead my workshops while I recover. I used the beautiful Miracle paper pack with the stamp set Sensational Season. The bunnies were colored with ink and a blending pen. I love the soft watercolor effect of this method.
