With Love

Don't you just love it when a child

brings you a handful of flowers?  

I love the look of sheer delight

and love in their eyes!!

I think that's why I was drawn to this
digi image from A Day for Daisies,

because it captures that wonderful moment

so beautifully and reminds me of my children 
and grand blessings! :)

(Please click on the photos to enlarge)

The image is called "Look what I brought you"

and you can find it here.

You can see that the inside of my card

mirrors the outside and that I used the tag

for a place to add sentiment.

Valentine Matchbox and Card Set

Valentine's Day is just around the corner

so I thought I'd design a sweet little 

treat or trinket box

and make a card to go along

with it.

*please click to enlarge photos*

The box is 3 1/4" square and has an ornately edged,

and ribbon wrapped, belly band around it.

Placed on top of the belly band is a

handmade paper rose, which

has been sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist

and a few scattered, tiny "dew drops"

were added with Glossy Accents.

I used an Our Craft Lounge

Stamp set called "Notes of Love"

to create the card which is 3" square and islayered with DP and Glitter Cardstock.

I stamped two of the heart images, then embossed

one of them with black embossing powder.

The second image was colored with Copic Markers,

then fussy cut and glued over the first image.

Red rhinestones were placed on

the image for added bling.

The inside on the card,

and the 3 1/4" square envie,

were stamped with other stamps from the set.

Ingredients:

Cardstock used:

Bazzill Red

DP used:

I have another card to share with you today!  :)

The digital image I used is from Sassy Cheryl's Digis

and she's called "Silly Sally Sits in Wonder."

I think she's as cute as a bug's ear!!  LOL

Look at that adorable little smile and button nose!

Cheryl has this to say about Silly Sally:

" How could you not love her!

Sally is a little bit of a tomboy and a whole lot of sass!

She loves to do everything!

She's a definite nature lover and adores her little teddy bear.

Sally is a little mischievous at times too, but that's ok.

We all have an ornery side.

She's my kind of gal

. . .and I know you're just going to fall in love with her."

I sure did!!

Missing you...

Hello friend!

How is your Monday going?

It's a beautiful, sunshiny day here on the Oregon coast

today and I've been listening to the "music" of

my grandson's, and their friends,

playing outside all day.  :)

I love summertime!!

I have a new card to share with you today,

that is a bit of a detour from what I usually do, I think.

It doesn't have near the bling or the embellies that my cards

normally have, but I love how it turned out.  I hope you do, too!!

This digital image is one that comes from 

A Day for Daisies and is called "Bewildered B."

Her expression looks a bit sad to me, thus the sentiment.

*please click on the photos to enlarge*

She's so elegant looking and has a vintage feel to me,

 so I loved her, and couldn't wait to color her!

I used ribbon to form the ruffle for her dress and her hair

is so beautifully coiffed, that I thought adding the flower

to it would finish it off nicely.

Sent with so much love...

Hello!  I have a new card to share with you.

This digital image was drawn by Krista Smith

from Saturated Canary,

and is called "Hand Me Downs."

I love her sweet little dress and socks!

So adorable!!

I, also, added a cute little image

of bird carrying a letter.

I'm sorry, but at the moment I cannot

remember where it is from.

* click to enlarge *

The papers I used to create this card, were perfect, I think,

as there was a vintage bird cage imprinted on them.

So, I cut out the cage and layered it on the card

with dimensional dots.  I did the same with the

bird in flight.
