I Love You/Turtle-y Awesome #3

 This card made me laugh while I was assembling it.


This is going to be the hub's Valentine card. I was laughing because this is a caricature of us...the hubs isn't a big swimmer so you would find him with swim fins, mask, life preserver, etc. I get sunburned or bit by a bug and swell up, turn red, etc. pretty much every trip we take. It's hilarious! IYKYK! 

Again, I just used the DSP in this suite. The sentiment is from Bee My Valentine. I'm hoping it qualifies for the Paper Players Challenge #771.


Happy Stamping!

Time to Celebrate!

 Today's card is Turtle-y Awesome card #2!


For this Turtle-y Awesome card I used a Granny Apple Green card base. I embossed a piece of Garden Green with the Turtle Textures EF. I used more of the DSP, Turtle-y Cute. I used one of my brand new Party Banner dies! 🎉 The banjo playing turtle I fussy cut from the DSP. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays (retired).

I used the Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #677.


Yesterday we had  Sweet P.  We went from walking Jake to baking cupcakes.



Our little girl is growing up! So fun! ❤

Happy Stamping!

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!
