Happy Friday!
Wow, this week has flown by. It's a bit breezy here but perfect to get all those little farm chores done. My goats are browsing around the garden cleaning up the bits left from the crop. The chickens are into their second week of laying and our Americana's gave us our first blue/green eggs yesterday. Now I'm onto a search for some good homes for the kittens. They'll be ready to go in a couple weeks. I still can't believe my cat got pregnant while nursing the last batch. We're definitely headed to the vet next! LOL
I have a sweet image from Stamping Bazaar today. I did a guest spot over there awhile back and just fell in love with their images. This is an older one but still fabulous, it's called "Marvin Trick or Treat". The papers are from some old stock I've had for years (like 15+) ha ha. A couple challenges wanted homemade flowers and I followed the sketch at The Sweet Stop and it called for them too. The bottom layer is fabric, the next two are paper and the center is a flower gem. They were all just pieces left over from other projects but once put together were just beautiful on this card. The ribbon, of course, is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, who else!?!
Have a great day and don't forget to stop by tomorrow. I have an extra special card for you to see!
I'm looking for a headless horseman digi image. I've only seen a couple and their not quite what I'm lookin for. I have an Equestrian friend and would like to make a card for her. Let me know if you know of any. Thanks so much!
Hugs!

It's almost the weekend - Yay!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and has some great plans for this weekend. I'm planning on enjoying some family time. I made the following card for my son's girlfriend for her birthday.
I again used a piece from
http://www.heartwarmingvintage.com/. I still ahve tons left and they make such a great focal point. I recycled a flower I had and this key I found. I had this sweet tag and some Really Reasonable Ribbon with some added pearls. I thought the striped pattern paper went really well with the whole "vintage" theme. Of course I distressed everything with Tim Holtz. I need to get more creative in that area. Birds and vintage go so well together how could I go wrong.
I'm tryin out some new challenges too. If you know of one that's especially fun mention it and I'll check it out!
Thanks for stopping by!

Nettie G - Anything goes (wish I had some Nettie G's)
Just a quickie card today.
I was able to make two from the same idea and they will be going into some card packages I'm working on. I used one doily and cut it in half. All the papers are from a RAK I did last year and were just scraps that were sent to me. I'm so lovin my scraps at the moment! Thanks for stoppin by.

Good morning!
It's been a very long time since my last post. I've been stalking around blogland admiring my blog friends artwork. It's encouraged me to get back into my craft room. I realized how much mental therapy it gives me and how much I so enjoy it. So I have a simple card today.
I started out in my scrap box just to get the juices flowing. I found this postcard image made by "Heart Warming Vintage". It came on a sheet with tons of other images too. There's stamps, seed packets, and lots of birds. Just beautiful. So I used it as my focal point and just added some brads, from Basic Grey and a scrap of ribbon. Everything is distressed with Tim Holtz for a little depth. It's finished off with a Thank You sentiment from Kraftin Kimmie, and there you go.
Thanks for taking time to have a look!
Hugs !

Thinking of you!
Happy Saturday!
I wish the weather was as warm and sunny as my card today. Nope, stormy and rainy. Oh well, maybe I'll do a rainy day card next!
I participated in an image swap awhile back from PCP. This stamped image is from The Stamping Place. I just love how soft and sweet the image is and wanted to color it that way as well. So I used my prisma's but kept them a bit muted. I started out with papers from Graphics 45 and added some ribbon from RRR monthly spring kit. I added "Easter Wishes" in Jenni Bowlin Studio stickers. That bright yellow flower is from Prisma and I just added some of the ribbon to kinda finish it off. I also used some pearls from Pizazz Aplenty to finish off the ribbon sentiment I made. It really gave it a finished look and tied in the blue from the sky. The 3D stickers, which are the flower and dragonfly are really cool. They're from Jolee's and are pieced together. Really neat dimension to them.
Keep in mind I still don't have all my photo programs and software available to me so my pic's aren't the greatest sorry 'bout that.

DZ Doodles Challenge #8
Bear with me a little longer as I try to get my projects pulled together. It looks like our hard drive needs to be replaced on my main system. I'm trying to get by with my laptop. Unfortunately it doesn't have any of the capabilities my main system does and isn't hooked up to the printer either. Yikes! My hubby had a procedure at the hospital this morning so I just got access to bring you the good news!
We are offering up another
freebie. It's the cute silly bear I've used on my card. It will work great for so many card themes. That's one thing I really appreciate about Diane's designs. Even the cute little christmas angels can be colored to work as birthday cards. I just love the versatility and cuteness of her designs. You should take a look
here, there's tons of new spring flowers too. So pop over to the
DZ Doodles blog and get your freebie and enjoy some inspiration from our talented team. Then go make a card and join in our challenge! What could be better?!? Have a fabby day and I'll see you in the AM!
