Turtle-y Awesome!

 I've been wanting to have a play with the Turtle-y Cute Suite. Today's card is the first of several I made. 🐢


I used the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch #549.


The Turtle-y Cute DSP did all the work! I fussy cut the trike riding turtle from the paper! The sentiment is from the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set. I used a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots to finish it! Easy peasy, makes me smile and I have another birthday card ready to send off!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Valentine's!

 Happy Monday and Happy February! New month, new week, oh my! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine flew by. I cleaned up from glamping and just did some general cleaning. It did rain a bit over the weekend but if it continues to stay warm the hubs is going to have to mow the lawn again! 😎😄

Today's card was just a quick and fun card I did to post on Unity's Show and Tell FB page.


They were using this sketch.


The penguin is from Unity's Warm Hugs. I obviously didn't use the suggested color combo because you know Crafty girls do what they want! 😅

That's it for me today!

Happy Stamping!

Thinking of You

 Happy Fri-yay! I hope you all have had a fabulous week and have a wonderful weekend ahead! 

Sorry, not sorry for having one more card with a bee on it this week! 😅 It was a glamping week and my supplies were limited but I made them work.  It was actually kind of fun creating with what I had packed. 


I used the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch #548 for this card.


I used the Cute as Can Bee DSP to do all the work. My sentiment is from the fabulous Go To Greetings and I stamped it in Petunia Pop ink.

That's it for me this week and this month! 

Happy Stamping!

More Treats

 Wow! Just a few more days left of January! I wanted to make a card for the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #248  this month and here it is.






They had a color challenge.


I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock with my Paws EF. I added a strip of red spotty dots from NND's Bright Basics Paper Pad. I embossed the piece of purple cardstock with the Happy Heart EF. And the star of the card is this cute little fur baby from NND's Puppy's Reading List that I colored. 

Yesterday we enjoyed a walk at a local park. We were right by the University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium where all the football games are played. Our kids are big Duck fans. 



Make it a great day!

Happy Stamping!

The One for Me

 I have a few more bees for today's card! 


I used the Cute as Can Bee DSP to do the bulk of the work on this card! I used a hexagon from the Meant to Bee dies cut from Petunia Pop cardstock. The sentiment is from the Bee My Valentine stamp set. I added quite a few sequins for some shimmer! 

I used this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #666.


So, yesterday we enjoyed a rather long bike ride on the Row River Trail. It was a bit chilly, my hands and feet were cold for part of the time, but it was great! There are several covered bridges in this area. Very neat! And there were very few people! 



Happy Stamping!

Love You

 We may just be glamping this week...because we can! I'm enjoying a lovely morning. I do have a card to share. I brought minimal supplies with me as we have minimal space!  I am challenging myself, in a fun way, to create and share this week with what I have.


The yellow gingham is from the Floral Designs DSP. I cut the sweet bee images from the Cute as Can Bee DSP and adhered them on a Bubble Bath punched bee body using the Bee Builder punch. (now that's a mouthful to say out loud! 😂) I added a few pink sequins from my stash.

I'm playing along with The Paper Players sketch this week.


Make it a great day!

Happy Stamping!

Twinkle Heart

 Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I'm back today with a 'fairy' sweet card.


I used Unity's Twinkle Heart stamp set. I colored her using the Fresh Freesia Blends. There's quite a bit of Wink of Stella on her because of course she sparkles! I cut her out using an Everyday Arch die. The DSP is Masterfully Made and I used a piece of Petunia Pop glimmer paper. I stamped the sentiment using Berry Burst ink and embossed it with Clear embossing powder to make it shine. Everything went on a Fresh Freesia card base.

I made another one but switched up the colors.


This time I used Peach Pie.  I'm not sure which one I like better but leaning towards Fresh Freesia. Which one do you like best?

Our weekend was full of little ones. We had Paisley and Weston on Friday. This is what happens when your furniture becomes a playground:




And we had Autumn all day and night Saturday.




Yes, I was one tired Gigi last night!

Happy Stamping!
