April showers bring May flowers

Hey y'all!
Happy Sunday, hope all is well?!...

Things are okay here, for the most part. I somewhat wish I could redo this past week, but we all know we can't go back in time. So at this point 'it is what it is' and I'm just trying to move forward. Long story short, besides having appointments for my kids (which were all fine) I ended up in the ER twice. The second time was for an allergic reaction the the medication the gave me the first time and now, they gave me a new medication to try and who knows how this one will react?!...Trying to stay positive but I'm still suffering from the previous reaction, so it is a little rough for me right now. But like I said, trying to stay positive and stay busy so I don't think too much about things.

Anyhow, a few days ago I made a card and then finally was able to edit it. So I do have a card to share...yay! :) I made this for the current Uniko Challenge #52, which is Spring with an optional twist Easter.

I went with using just the Spring theme and tried my hand at some no-line coloring using colored pencils...

I certainly did keep things simple. :) I randomly stamped on my flowers in a light ink and then went to town coloring them with colored pencils. I'm no expert and certainly need to practice more, but I had fun and think it turned out nice!?!...After, I simply added a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and then a touch of ivory burlap twine. Simple, yeah?!...

Well, that's all for me today.

Thanks for everything

Hey y'all!
Happy Tuesday! :)

As exhausted as I am, I somehow managed to whip up a card today! I recently ordered a couple stamp sets from Altenew and they were just sitting on my desk...begging to be inked up. lol Seeing that the current Altenew March Inspiration Challenge is still going on, I thought I'd play along. :)

How did I ever not see this Japanese Mum stamp set?!!...Needless to say, I'm in love with it! ;) 

I kept things relatively simple. For the blooms I chose to use blues, which for some reason I was thinking of the sky at the time. lol I know, a little weird...my mind runs wild at times, I tell ya. ;) I did use greens for the leaves, though! lol Once having my blooms and leaves done, I used the matching dies with them. For my card base, I stamped on a sprinkling for red 'confetti' and then stamped on the sentiment in black ink. When adding my blooms I chose to pop the front bloom up by adding foam tape on the back and then a few leaves I did the same with, as well. Simple, right?!...

Well, that's all for today.

Have a great day and see you soon! 

Smile...I am always here

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?!...

This week my kids are on spring break so I'm hoping to fit in some crafty time. :) I really wanted to 'take it easy' over their break, but I did schedule dentist appointments for them and one for our dog as well. So maybe in between that and aside from still fixing up our home, I'll be able to find some relaxation. ;)

Anyhow, I do have a card to share. Yay! I made this for the current PinkFresh Studio Challenge.

I kept things very simple. I randomly stamped on some floral images using a light grey ink. Then did some die cutting for the 'smile', which I layered three times using yellow cardstock. And after, I added a little sentiment underneath the die cut smile. Easy peasy, right?!...

Well, that's all for today. I'm going to start getting dinner ready and then try to catch up on blog visits. :)

Have a great day and week...see you soon!

Hola

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?!...

I'll tell ya, yesterday with the time change I was doing just fine. Until...bedtime came. lol I was tossing and turning all night and now (needless to say), I'm tired!

Anyhow, I did make a card! Yay! I saw Honey Bee Stamps Facebook Challenge, which is all about 'green' and thought I'd join in on the fun. :)

Seeing how I don't use too much green on my cards, this was a good challenge for me. Luckily, I had the perfect 'new to me' stamp set to use! ;)

I kept things very simple. I just did some coloring with markers and a little die cutting with a few of the cactus. Easy peasy, right?!...To finish things off, a sweet little 'sombrero', then a simple 'Hola', and a touch of burlap twine.

Well, that's all for me today.

Wishing you lots of love, coffee, & flowers

Hello, hello!
Hope all is well and your week is starting off right?!...

I'm happy to say, everyone is feeling good! :) Though now, we are doing some renovations and 'spring cleaning' to our home, so it's a wreak right now! lol Anyone that knows me, knows I have to have a clean and organized house. If it's not I start freaking out a bit. No joke. Though, I'm trying to think of the end result and how nice it will be. ;)

Anyhow, I do have a card to share! Yay! I didn't make this for a challenge or anything...just for fun.

I've been loving all these coffee images lately and just can't seem to resist buying them! However, there are some new ones out there (that I want) and I haven't caved in yet, so that's a plus, right?!...I mean, my husbands wallet will be happy. lol

That's all for me today (tonight). I'm going to finish up a dt post and then try to catch up on some blog visits and commenting. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day/evening and see you soon!
