MADE WITH LOVE

I've been making some fun little decorated vases for a Spring bazaar I'm going to be participating in very soon.  This one has some hearts I cut with chipboard then added some decorative papers...  I found some fun little wooden tags that I stamped.  The sentiment MADE WITH LOVE is from A Muse.  I tied it around the vase with some thick twine. 

It would really make a cute little Valentines day gift, but I also thought it could be fun for Mothers day!

Journey

I've had my Unity KOM just sitting here waiting to be inked up!  I used the butterfly and sentiment both from the March kit.  Love this fun bicycle paper from Jillibean soup.  Thanks for stopping by! (=

Pure Innocence

Just a very Clean and Simple card with a touch of paper piecing!  The seam binding is actually a dark green color, but it didn't photograph very well.  This is one of my favorite PI stamps!! I also used my new Tiny Tags from Papertrey Ink. 

A trip to the beach

The kids were on Spring break this week although the weather was wet and cold! )=  We spent a few nights over at the beach house.  It's always a nice relaxing getaway.  No phones constantly ringing, no running the kids back and forth...  Just lots of family time!  We spent time at the beach, had lots of good food (yummy chowder), relaxed in the hotub, watched movies, played games...  It was a great time!!  Here are some pictures.

BLD - Ella's Umbrella

Here is another cute digi image available now at By LORi Designs.  It's called Ella's Umbrella and it's too cute!! (=   I just love the little puddle and frogie too!! (=  If you'd like to take a look at LORi's sweet images check them out HERE.

I used misc paper and cork along with my MFT and PTI dies.  I used an embossing folder on the clouds.

Thanks for looking!  HAPPY Friday!!! (=

Silhouette Vinyl

I'm starting to use my Silhouette a little bit more!  I just love how you can use any fonts for free!  Also, love being able to pick a single image from their store for only 99cents!!   There are so many things you can add vinyl to, but I've been having fun using plates.  I've seen this saying popping up more and more and I love it! 

So TRUE!!  They sure do grow up fast!! 

Happpy Birthday

Just wanted to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my wonderful  son who turns 12 today!!!  Love you SO much!!! (=  MOM

TPE sketch challenge

Better late than never...  This post is a tad late!  I've been away for a short bit.  Just getting back from some time at the beach!  We had a great time, but it's always nice to be home!! (=    Now for a challenge...

Here is the sketch by Joni Wilson

Our sponser this week is Whimsie Doodles.  They will be giving away 2 free digi images!

Here is the cute image I got to work with! 

The sentiment is hard to read in this pic, but it says Chocolate IS the answer.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  If you'd like to play along with this weeks challenge.  Hop on over to The Pink Elephant!

Butterfly wreath

I saw these cute little branch wreaths at Michaels and new I could find some kind of use for them.

I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punches and a cute little birdie and came up with this.

I found this frame at the goodwill for .99cents.   It had no glass or back, but I knew I could use it to display a little something in the middle.  This was a simple, fun and inexpensive little project!

and a little butterfly tag! (=

Nutty for you

Having fun playing with some more Paper Smooches stamps! (=  This card is made with the Falling for you and Pretty Phrases sets.  I used paper from Cosmo Cricket (Nutmeg).  TFL (=

More Pretty Phrases

I made another card with the paper smooches stamps!  These sentiments are just so CUTE!!! I used the apple from Falling For You.  This would make the perfect teacher "Thanks" card!!! (=

More Paper Smooches...   I combined two different sets for this card.  Falling for you and Pretty Phrases. 

I paper pieced the apples and used a PTI die.  The sentiment is stamped in PTI Ripe Avocado. TFL! (=

Paper Smooches

I just fell in love with these adorable stamps the first time I saw them.  They are just so CUTE and FUN!!! (=   One of my favorite images is the sweet little love monster!! (=  Couldn't wait to ink him up!! (=  Here are a few cards: 

This first one I used my hearts embossing folder and paper pieced the cute little monster! (=  I also used a sentiment from another PS set Pretty Phrases.  Love the fonts!!!

This second one is just C&S!! Love how you can just stamp on this cute little monster and you have a sweet little card!  Great for all ages - my 4 year old made a card just like it too! (=

This one is fun too.  Lots of bright colors.  I used a cute little kraft bag to stamp the image on.  Add a little note or treat in it!!! (=

Just saying Hi

Here is a C&S card using the Just Saying Hi set from Hero Arts. 

We spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa this last weekened.  We had a great time!  We had wonderful home cooked meals, got to see a play, did a little shopping, watched movies, played games... It was a very nice weekened!! (=

Papertrey Ink Button Boutique

I sure have had fun playing with these new stamps and felt from PTI.  I also got some awesome doily dies that I love!  

I cut these tags with a die from PTI then stamped them with the button boutique stamps.

These flowers and butterflies were all made using PTI dies! LOVE them!!

The background doilies are also new dies from PTI!   You can use these as just fun tags or attach them to hair clips!  Very CUTE!!!

Flower vases and Febuary Mosaic

I'm going to be participating in a spring bazaar and I thought these little flower vases might be fun!!  Just add some Easter candy. Maybe some Jelly Beans and it would make a sweet little gift!!

These little wooden tags are very cute!

Here is my Febuary monthly mosaic:
