OH HAPPY DAY

 I am heading out to meet a friend for coffee later this afternoon and I'm really looking forward to it.  I am an absolute hermit in the Winter - I seriously hardly ever leave my house. My hubby goes out and does most of the food shopping, which is so nice. Spring has been trying to force her way in with absolutely ROARING winds last night that flipped over my heavy steel table on my deck, the whole house shook!  Hubby had to get up in the middle of the night and batten down the hatches so nothing would fly through a window!

So I'm trying to force Spring with my crafting - LOL - I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

The Paper Players #777

Passion for Markers - Make it Bloom

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Spring

Very simple - used a white card base and cut some tags from Doodlebug Designs designer paper, attached with a flower brad and used a die cut sentiment. Peace.

So Amazing, It's Unbelievable!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! Do you celebrate this holiday?  We celebrate by making/eating corned beef and drinking beer.  LOL  My favorite part of the corned beef is making hash for breakfast the next morning!

Although it's not Irish/clover themed, I do have a green card to share today! I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Let's Craft & Create #229 - AG/Optional Purple & Green

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit o' Green

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Cute Critters

I created the green background with Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper. I then used some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink on another piece of watercolor paper and used a postage stamp square die cut and a rounded edge rectangle die to cut out pieces. I stamped the sentiment on the smaller piece and added some pearl stickers to it. I printed out the Dinosaur from Amanda Jayne Designs, colored with Copics, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. Isn't he too cute to be scary?!?  Go check out her images, they're adorable! Peace.

Wishing You Strength and Imperfectly Perfect

 I don't know about you, but I don't make many masculine cards! This one is for the following challenges:

Passion for Markers - Masculine

Little Red Wagon - Boy Inside the Man

I printed the digi (old one from CC Designs called Sugarplum Tulip Trevor) and sentiment directly on some DP, colored with Copics and mounted on a red cardstock base. 

.....................................

I made this one for the Unity Show & Tell FB group and I'd like to also enter it into:

Stamping Sensation - AG/Optional Spring

Beautiful Blossoms #39 - Anything Floral/Optional Mood Board

Papers (Where Little Gardens Grow) and stamps (Soul Mail) all from Unity Stamp Co. - colored with Copics. Finished off with a bit of bling. Peace.

Retro Rubber #267

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit o' Green

Crafty Gals Corner - AG/Optional Make it Green

As You See It #368 - Floral Sketch

I created my background by ink blending Distress Oxide Inks through my Music Love stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop). I die cut the word HAPPY from a scrap of bright pink cardstock. I stamped Sing Hope & Grace from The Greeting Farm (this one is from around 2009) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

Chapter One...

 Hello friends! I love making tags/bookmarks - this one was quick and easy to put together since I didn't color it!  I would like to enter this into these 2 challenges:

Double D - Books/Bookmark and/or Postal/Postage

Make My Monday #273 - All Tied Up

Tag-alongs and ATC's - AG/Optional Spring Flowers

I used the bookmark and book die cuts from the Bookmark II Die Set at Newton's Nook, cutting out one black and one kraft bookmark. I layered them on top of each other and tore the bottom of the kraft one. I stamped the flower from the Wounds and Blooms - In the Light set at Unity Stamp Co. with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then did the same thing with the sentiment from the Chapter One set. Peace.

Focus on What's Important

 Good morning!  I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

CAS Colours & Sketches #580

Beautiful Blossoms #39 - Anything Floral Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2610 - Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesday - Make it Feminine

I printed out this digi from ArtistLines Floral Procreate Stamps, Bouquets, and Wreaths set, colored with Copics and I used Liquid Diamonds on the lens and flash. I used a rounded edge rectangle nesting die set to cut it out, layered on a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I mounted it on a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and die cut a fern from the Mushrooms & Ferns die set from Hero Arts from a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock. Peace.

Celebrate You

Happy Sunday! I woke up with a bad headache yesterday - I used to get migraines when I was younger, but they stopped for years.  Menopause seems to have fired them back up again - the joys of womanhood!  ;) Luckily, I didn't have anything going on this weekend so I have just been taking it easy. I spent some time in my craft room playing with some old rubber stamps! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Retro Rubber #265

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit o' Green

Creative Inspiration #36 - Anything Goes

Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes/Spring

Simon Says Stamp Monday - A Bit o' Green

I created my background by using the reverse stencil technique with my Music Love stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off your entire order). I stamped Monday from The Greeting Farm (2010) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics and a white gel pen and fussy cut her, attaching her with foam dimensional tape. I added some text stickers and bling. Peace.
