Gratitude

What a grand feeling needing thank you cards. I'm very fortunate to need thank you cards. Just saying thank you doesn't seem quite enough. I hope sending cards made just for them says much more. I spent today making cards. Boy, was I in the "zone". I am so happy in that "zone". I'm going to share two of the cards I made today. The daisy stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms. Ain't that ribbon the bomb! The ribbon and pretty papers are from Papertrey Ink. They have the prettiest ribbon with matching papers and ink. Hope you enjoy!

Whoot! Whoot!

I know it's been awhile since I posted. I'm truly sorry, and yes I know I have said this before. I'm going to try very hard to keep in touch more with you guys. I have had an exciting summer. I went on my cruise, OMG you have got to take one if you never have, and I visited my sister recently. Going to her house is like a spa resort. For the first time in my life I have a beautiful tan. I have always burned, and I'm so proud of my tan. I'm sharing a card with you today that I made for my baby son's birthday (he turned 26) in June, and still acts like a baby sometimes. I love these owls from Cornish Heritage Farms, as always I colored them with my beloved primacolor pencils. They are just too cute, and you are too Blake. Happy Birthday Son. Thanks for stopping by and allowing me to share with you all!

You're a scholar

I absolutely love this cutie patootie owl, and the DP paper has been some of my all time favorites. I'm usually not a blue person, but these colors couldn't be prettier. I made this card for a good friend's daughter. She is one very beautiful young lady, and is as sweet as she is beautiful. Congratulations Britt, on your graduation and making cheerleader at UNT.
As always, I really appreciate you stopping by! Have a great day!

Muddy Pup

Ain't he just the cutest thang! If he's anything like my baby girls, they love to play and they are definitely smart, but I don't know about the good part. Our vet says my "Daisy" is the smartest one in the house. Unfortunately, I'll have to agree. She sure knows how to work my husband and I, and she says everything with that adorable face. I have to let you see my other baby girl "Minnie". She's pretty adorable herself. She is a chewer! She eats everything! Socks, underwear, rags, towels, house shoes, paper, tv remote controls, decorative pillows, and it goes on and on. Oh well, it's just stuff, and all of that stuff can be replaced. My Muddy Pup image is from Whipper Snapper and I colored him with my prismacolor pencils. The DP is from Scenic Route the Summer Village collection. The ribbon is Hobby Lobby's 1/2 price ribbon and I'll have to apologize I don't know the name of the bubble stickers. They have been in my "dog's stuff box" for awhile now, and I can't remember the manufacturer.
Thanks for stopping by!

Purple Daisies?

I know Daisies don't come in blue and purple, but I wanted to use this paper from The Paper Studio. So, I had to have some blue and purple daisies. The daisy stamp is from Hampton Arts and I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils. The pearl centers are Robin's Nest dew drops. The glitz is purple stickles. You have probably figured it out by now that "I love Daisies"! That's my baby girl "Daisy" with me in my photo. The only thing I can say about her is (don't tell my darling hubby I said this) but, she is my BFF and the love of my life! Thanks visiting with us! Enjoy the card and my baby girl. Oh, Daisy says "woof, woof".

True Love

Yes, I'm still here! This is so hard for me to say, but I've been neglecting my stmaping lately. I know, I know, I should be ashamed. I am so wrapped up in my cruise... Oh! did I tell you I'm going on a cruise with some of BFF'S in June. I am so STOKED! I've been shopping for my wardrobe, tanning, pedicures and all that girlie fun stuff. My BFF loves horses and actually has 2 of her own. You can't begin to imagine how many horse stamps she has. I fell in love with this beautiful stamp myself and had to have it. This stamp is TrueLove by Coronado Island Stmaps. It stamps out beautifully and I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. The DP is Webster's Pages. The ribbon is actually a torn strip from a piece of fabric I had in a fabric stash. Hope you enjoy this card. I would like to take a sec to give a shout out to my talented stamping friend in Henderson - Vivra. Hey, Vivra! Enjoyed visiting with you and always love you sharing your art with me.

Seize the cupcake

I made this card for a shoebox shuffle I participated in at BStamps & Stuff in my hometown of Longview. This was my first shuffle and I had a blast. This really cute cupcake and sentiment is from Hero Arts. So fun and festive! I colored the cupcake with my prismacolor pencils and added sparkle with stickles. Great stuff!
Don't you just love the bright fun colors? The colors remind me of summer. Bring on the sun! Yesterday and last night was quite chilly here in East Texas. Too weird! I guess not for East Texas. Enjoy your day!
