Dream BIG Little One!

 Well we're back to Monday again!  LOL  Yesterday I had a little baby "sprinkle" for my daughter Cassidy. She's about to have her 4th baby, but her first BOY!  So we had to be sure he wasn't forced to wear pink hand-me-downs all Summer! hee hee  This is the card that I made for her, as baby is due on July 11 and will most likely be a Cancer unless he surprises us all and comes super early or super late!

We Shine Together

 Hi all!  So I'm sure I'll be posting more creations using their awesome products, but today is my final project as a guest designer for A Colorful Life Designs!  I saved my absolute favorite project for last - I just LOVED how this background came out and how the whole thing came together.

I used the Cloud Edger stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, along with a layered moon stencil from Spellbinders and this beautiful fox stamp from Creative Expressions, stamped directly on the background clouds. I stamped the sentiment and used some sparkly embossing powder on that and the fox to finish it off.  Peace.

Happy Birthday - Horse Card

 Today's card is for the:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fur or Feathers

Created with Doodlebug Designs papers/stickers and a horseshoe charm die I found in my stash.  Peace.

bee kind

 We finally got some nice weather here on the East coast... it was 85 yesterday!  My daughter brought the grandkids over and we played outside with the water table & kiddie pool, it was so nice to feel like Summer!

Today I have another creation for my guest designer spot at A Colorful Life Designs.  I used the Double Honeycomb stencil on my Gelli plate and I just LOVED the design that came out with this pull!  It was one of my favorites! I used the Visible Image Bee Happy stamp set.  I stamped the pollen & the sentiment directly on the background paper, then stamped the big bee out with embossing ink & sparkly embossing powder - colored her in with markers and glitter on her wings and attached her to the card with foam dimensional tape.  I added a crown charm as a finishing touch.

 I have really been having a great time guest designing for A Colorful Life Designs this month!  I was really happy with the stencils that I chose to play with and I'm sure I'll purchase more since they are such great quality and there are so many fun designs!

Today I have a card that I made using the Love Web Stencil, this stencil was the most challenging for me but I ended up absolutely in love with my finished product:
