Enjoy the little moments

Still working on using up my Basic Grey-Sweet Threads 6x6 paper pad. Getting closer but yet so far away..LOL!

This time I used a stamp from La La Land Crafts-Mod Marci. She's retiring so if you want her, you'd better get her ordered! I really enjoyed coloring her up and her hat is paper pieced. 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges~

• City Crafter Challenge~ In Pieces-Paper Piecing
• Craft Your Passion Challenge~ Anything Goes

For my layout I used an older Sweet Sunday Sketch, #258. I was tired when I was putting it all together so mine has a slight variation..hehe!

Have a wonderful day! I didn't get as many cards done this week on my days off as I had hoped due to a nasty headache. Luckily it's almost gone so I shouldn't have to deal with it at work. Hope all is fabulous in your corner of the world!

I had a looksie through my digis that were printed out already and found this fun one from Time for Tea Designs-Peace Out that peaked my interest and called for me to color her up and get her on a card!

I'm working on using up another 6x6 paper pad- Basic Grey-Sweet Threads so be prepared to see several "scrap" cards!

Love is all you need

Happy Groundhog Day!! 6 more weeks of winter--I know lots of  you are going UGH but I'm saying yay as we really haven't had much of a winter here and I do love the snow.

Okay admit it, who's watching the movie Groundhog Day today? I'm raising my hand--I like that movie!

Onto today's card~~in one of the yahoo groups I'm in there is a monthly card challenges with different prompts. I thought I'd have a go at it this month so here's my first card for the heart challenge (just have to have one heart on your card).

I love this stamp set, Far Out, from MFT. I think it's retired now though. She is just too fun!

Mandi

I don't know about you but sometimes I think it's good to try something new, something different! So that's what I did! LOL! 

I Brake for Stamps has Rick St. Dennis digis and rubber stamps in stock now and while at first I wasn't quite sure about them, they have quickly grown on me!  Not all of them~ as some are pretty scary to me--great for Halloween and for lots of my friends who like that--but I do think the girls are fun and sort of funky! (oh and I just saw some cute bears and kids and fantasy stamps in the rubber section...fun!)

So I thought what the heck, let's give one of them a try and see what I can do with them! I got Mandi as a digi to try. I think she is really a pretty funky gal--so fun to color up!

I kept this a very clean and simple card to show off the image~~didn't want anything competing with the brighter colors I used. 

Hope you have a super fabulous day!!

If all else fails-add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

Desiree

When I first saw the 60's Girlfriend Collection from Make It Crafty I knew I had to have them! Recently there was a sale so I grabbed them up! 

Today I thought I'd have fun coloring up Desiree! Isn't she groovy? and look at that, I used some chipboard accents instead of hoarding them!

Peace out! 

If all else fails-add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!
