Be Happy

This little "Mom" looks like she is ready for a busy day(Kraftin Kimmie's Charlotte). I thought this would work nicely along with the HA- Be Happy. I have a friend who is a super busy Mom herself and I thought this would give her a chuckle. The image was edged with Zig Markers and the DP is from Me and My Big Ideas Milan pack. Just a bit of sheer ribbon and she is ready to be popped into the mail tomorrow.

So much fun...

finding a surprise in my stash. I went to the stamping convention in our area last year and got a bonus in my bag when I bought an inkpad in one of the booths. I just shoved it into my box of unmounted. When I was looking through them over the weekend, I noticed this cute saying. I have no idea where it came from but it is perfect for one of my last minute Easter cards.Just some scraps, ribbon, cardstock , some Zig markers for coloring the Spring Bunny from Lili of the Valley stamps and it's done.

Use what you have...

I have been working on some more Tildas. Here she is. It's Tilda with the Lamb. I have been reading on various blogs to use what you have, drag out those favorite tools and basically... make do with less. Nana's Kids paper is the background DP. I got that at the last swap.The swirly design is from a CB folder D'vine Swirls. The pale yellow flower is from my stash, along with the purple flower brad.Just some zig markers, a corner rounder and that is all. Another CAS card ready to go.

There is no greatness without taking risks...

Now and again each of us has to take a chance on something new or different. This Spring Bunny from LoV, really appealed to me and combined with a great verse from CDS showed that he was willing to try. I also tried to make one of Janna's (jannawilson@cox.net.com for the directions) cute flowers to enhance the card along with a touch of some vintage yellow trim.

Oh dear...

This little gal (Hope and Grace)from The Greeting Farm is looking so down with all of her washing work to do. Now isn't she enough to raise anyone's spirits? I made her as a thinking of you card and cut the image with a Nestie. They are so great to have on hand as a just because surprise for a friend.I use a heart punch to create the white on white heart border.

Still another

Tilda that is... This one is writing a letter. I thought this card would look good with one of Gini's crochet flowers, in tones of green. It's so springlike . She is sitting on a little cushion and writing in her journal. The polka dot paper is from Nana's Kids, with the card stock Bazzill White and a scrap of spring green(unknown).The brads are from MM. A band of sheer ribbon pulls it together. She was colored with Zig Markers.

Tilda with Roses

This Tilda is detailed and the roses were fun to color. It is perfect for a birthday, Easter or even Mother's Day. The edges of the image were trimmed with a Deckled edge and also inked with Distress Ink.Just a touch of ribbon and it was another card ready to go.
