Little Spring Birds

I adore hearing all the little birds each spring. It simply makes my heart smile, or should I have said soar?? I like to leave my windows open to listen to their calls too.

I got lucky this month and have been able to create a few projects featuring these little guys. I will share one with you now and once I've finished my other project I'll share that one too.

This card was created for a swap I am in at SCS with these two swaps in mind. It was like the perfect month that they all were the same theme!

I used cardstock from Michaels, the pattered paper is old Penny Black. I used a deckled rectangle die to cut out Copic colored digi image from Sami Stamps. The tag is a retired SU small oval whale tail punch. The sentiment is SU too. The twine and pink bling are Hobby Lobby. And I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the pink spots.

I just had to post this...

I am working at my craft table today. I go to eat the pizza hubby had reheated for us and this is what I came back to. My sweet little helper Little Momma (aka Purrcilla.) I adore this little kitty. She's got the tiniest little meow and she's my buddy. Thankfully I had gotten done with this Christmas card before she took up residence on my laptop, cuz I didn't have the heart to move her! So I went and worked on laundry until she moved...

She slept there for a little over an hour. Now that she's moved to the sunny window, I can share her pic and this card.

I used a 2 Cute Ink image, SU patterned paper and Hobby Lobby cardstock. I am out of all my great SU cardstock. It's very sad! They do make high quality papers. Annnd since losing Archiver's I have no where to get great papers! The snowflake under the under the image is from a large pack I picked up from Michael's 2 years ago.

Early Spring or Longer Winter?

Hi everyone!

On Groundhog Day this year, Punxsutawney Phil sadly predicted 6 more weeks of winter weather for the north. But, here in the south (Georgia to be exact) General Beauregard Lee did not see his shadow therefore we are to have an early spring! I love living in Georgia! It does feel and look more like spring as our daffodils (one of my fav flowers) are in full bloom.

I created this cute little guy for just this event. Scribbles Designs is hosting a monthly challenge celebrating Punxsutawney Phil's prediction - Baby it's Cold Outside. I will admit spring here in Georgia can be crazy. In the morning we can have temps as low as the 30's but by afternoon we can be in the 70's! AND if that's not enough, we've had our worst snow storms in the month of March!

So, for my card I embossed the cream card base but I used the debossed side up. The pattern paper is (like almost always) from my large scrap basket. I used a Scribbles Designs image. I inked him up using my Copic markers and I added a bit of bakers twine too. And there he is! Sweet little guy isn't he??

Spook-tacular

Hello -

I've missed you guys. I've had to take a break from "live" posts due to health, but I'm feeling much better now and will get back to posting more "live" and less just scheduled projects. I wanted to share you with a really cute card for Halloween using a Scribbles Designs image.

Image used: Cauldron

The papers are a mix of digi papers, Neenah and SU. The sentiment is from Craft Secrets, ribbon from SU.

Hope you are getting ready for all the trick or treaters!! I've been very busy the past few days coloring and creating, I'll be posting my creations over the next few days. Hope you are having a GREAT Thursday!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh so lucky me

Howdy All! We are midway thru our current challenge  at Scribbles Design Team! You still have plenty of time to whip out a wonderful creation to enter in the challenge!! Don't forget the current challenge is all about luck.

 

Before you jump to say "well Peggie Sue, that's not a very detailed card there hon" - lemme 'splain a little 'sumpin to ya... I have only just stepped into the world of the Digi (April of this year) I must admit, at 1st I thought "so what's the big deal?" I figured I'd really NEED my rubber stamps to hold and squeeze and love and tuck in at night. Well, 1500 images later - I'm so hooked.

 

But I can still hear you still asking "what's so special about this card??" It's cuz I printed the images directly onto the card base itself!! Before now I had to print then die cut or fussy cut the image out. I was frustrated I couldn't make a single layer card if I wanted to. BUT, using PowerPoint I was able to use the grid and then place my images to print on a 4.25 x 5.5 card base! Go me - Go me - (lol)

With a little luck

**2nd post of the day**

Hi everyone! This is exciting, it's my very 1st post for Scribbles Design Team! It's a very laid back happy place and there are some super fun digi's too!! All of Sandy's challenges will start on the 15th of each month run for 30 days with a mid-challenge post for more inspirational DT work. And as luck would have it - sorry, I couldn't resist - our current challenge is all about luck.

 

You may not know this, but I was born on St. Patrick's Day. Growing up my mom always called it St. Peggie's Day. She always had a way of making this day feel very special. So, this challenge for me, meant all things shamrock, St. Peggie's Day and wearing of the green! This is how I interpreted "luck", I'd really love to see your interpretation!
