Happy Victoria Day! I decided to try a challenge for the first time in quite a while. I used stamps from Tim Holtz, Martha Stewart and Papertrey Ink; the paper is all from Papertrey Ink. I colored the bird with water colors and used a Spellbinders Nestabilities for the little tag/sign the bird is holding. Thanks for looking!

Keeva

Last month the RCMP validated Keeva as a Search Dog. I' m really proud of the time my husband put into training her for this work. She absolutely loves to be out in a field or the woods on a search! Keeva is a 3.5 year old Flat-Coated Retriever.

Here's a card I made for my grandson. I used PTI Kraft and Leaf Green cardstock, tore, inked and distressed it. The xoxo is PTI Heart Prints and the dinosaur stamp is from Doodlefactory.

Make it Mondays (card no. 2)!

Here's another card using glitter, cause I like glitter!! I used Papertrey Ink paper and stamps, a doily from Michaels, watercolors, Stampendous glitter and pearls.

I'm pretty happy to be trying a challenge again! It's fun using tape and glitter to add accents to a card. This card will be for my daughter and son-in-law's 2nd anniversary. I used Papertrey Ink paper, stamps, ink and Martha Stewart glitter and leaf punch. Lots of fun to make and I hope you like it!

Embellish Magazine "Paper Piecing Color Challange"

Here's my take on the color challenge. The photograph is a little drab looking from late night picture taking unfortunately and the detail on the dark brown dog doesn't show. I used all PTI paper and ribbon and the dog walking stamp is from My Favorite Things, the sentiment, circle and tiny flower are stamps from PTI. Thanks for visiting my blog, have a good day!

Embellish "Inchies"

This is my second card using these colors; the first one didn't use any sqares, but I liked the color combo so much, I thought I'd do another. I used PTI and Bazill paper, some little purple flowers I've had for ages, a PTI sentiment stamp and Martha Stewart leaf punches. I cut the squares out on the Cricut. On the leaf card, I used all PTI paper and a brass leaf that I embossed in the Cuttlebug. I spritzed the paper with water first and I love how it turned out. How does Melissa Phillips get her seam binding to look so perfect? I struggled...

For some reason I've had problems getting my computer to upload photos from my camera, so I had to start using a card reader and then last night, even the card reader couldn't be uploaded? ?? Frustrating when you are technologically-challenged. But this morning, it works again.

I found a fantastic music site yesterday "Live From Daryl's House". Daryl as in Daryl Hall. He has guest musicians come to his house and they play together - everyone from Train to Billy Ocean. Absolutely fantastic music and fun to watch!
