Happy Birthday!

Well I got a bit back on track today. I was away the weekend and I have a few birthdays I need to prepare for this month, so I got a bit inspired! The only frustaring thing is that my camera died and my scanner never seems to pick up my one pink copic color and it always looks white!!! RRRRRR.... Oh well. I will repost this one when I get some batteries because it looks WAY better irl. I used this cute image I received from Cabio and I just love coloring them! I do need to work on it better though. And I feel like I have not colored in forever!

Thanks or dropping by by poor neglected blog!! I am going to make an effort to get back into my blogging groove! Take care and let me know what you think!

Here is another card I made with some of the Magnolia images I received from Cabio. I just love this little girl! I think I will also make one that has a saying about kissing a lot of frogs before finding a prince or something! lol... I used stickles on her wings and colored her with copics. I am pretty happy with this card. I think it could use something but I didn't want to play and overdo it. Maybe I could have inked the edges of the image or something?? I am not sure.

Thanks for stopping in today! I am really making an effort not to lag this month in my blogging posts like I did last month. I would love to hear what you think!

See you soon!

I got an awesome surprise in the mail yesterday from my virtual friend Cabio!! It was 3 pages full of different Magnolia images! I was so excited I already colored 3 of them and can't wait to finish them up into cards! I did manage to make one up to start. I tried to switch up my usual style by some off layering and trimming out my image. I wanted it to look like she was sitting on the edge of the one layered section. I put in a birthday saying, forgetting I had the perfect saying that I had got from an SS in the fall. Oh well, I have another image of her so I will likely use it for another card.

Thanks so much for stopping in! I had fun making this card and would love to know what you think!

Happy Birthday Blake

This was another stamp I got from Dee, I think I forgot to actually say who you were in my last post! Sorry Dee! So I found this little boy Magnolia in the images also so decided to do a similar card for DS's friend as well. I was pretty happy with how both cards turned out and am excited to share them both with you! Scroll down to see yesterdays if you missed it. I know they aren't overly done but I really seem to go for quick and simple. I need this becasue of the limited time I get to stamp since we have activities and the 4 kids at home keep me running. If I don't keep most things simple I would never be able to complete anything! :) Well this guy is also stickled on his wings. I added a couple brads to keep it boyish and the blues and browns make it look perfect for a boy's birthday!

Thanks for coming by today and I would love to know what you think!

Happy Birthday Brooks!

Two of the kids had birthday parties this weekend so Saturday morning I made a couple of Birthday cards for them to give with their gifts. I got a bunch of images from a new stamp friend I have through my friend Mel and splitcoaststampers. Mel knew her from where she used to live and I have been ordering Close To My Heart items through her... Anyways, last month for my birthday she included several images she stamped for me and Mel and among them was this darling Magnolia image. I don't have any of these stamps so I was excited to have some images to play with I decided to use one for this birthday card I made for DDs friend. I colored her with copics and added some stickles to her wings. I added some primas and some white taffeta and just love how cute she turned out!

Thanks for stopping in and let me know what you think!
