I think you're amazing

Hi y'all! 

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday! :) I'm taking it easy today and relaxing...maybe even a little crafting. ;) 

I'm swinging in to share a card I made for the current Unity 'show & tell' Facebook challenge. In all honesty, I was actually just in the mood to do some coloring and used a Unity stamp set. After thinking about the challenge because I haven't played in quite some time, to my surprise it was all about florals. If that wasn't good timing I don't know what is! lol ;) 

I did not color this in one day...more like 3! lol I enjoy coloring and I think because it is soothing to me, I tend to just take my sweet ol' time with things. After my coloring was done, I added a mix of splatters in brown watercolors and then stamped on the sentiment. Pretty simple, right?!...

Well, that's all for me today.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your day! :)

Mini slimline

Hi y'all! 

Hope all is well?!...Boy, oh boy, it's been a little while since I've posted anything. lol I thought summer would give me a lot of extra time to craft! While I've had time, it seems to get filled with family and outings. I'm not complaining at all because family time is always good. :) Just my crafty time will have to be a little bit 'here and there', at least until school starts back up for my kids. ;) 

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the current Taylored Expressions challenge on Facebook (#TEMakerChallenge) and thought I'd share it here too. 

I kept things simple and did some coloring with colored pencils. After, I added a few paint splatters in a deep pink color. To finish things off, I added a 'hello' which I layered a few times in white cardstock and then added a gold glitter cardstock on the final layer. Then a touch of clear drops. Easy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your week and see you soon! :)

Donuts...lot's of donuts!

Hi y'all! 

Hope all is well?! :)

I'm swinging in to share a couple sweet birthday cards with you! No challenges or anything, I just knew I wanted to color something. ;) I ended up pulling out 'Donut Treats' a Mama Elephant set that I ordered quite some time ago and seemed to just let it sit (I seem to do that A.LOT. lol). Well, finally I put it to use! :) 

I stamped quite a bit of donuts/images (in case I messed up when coloring) and I always stamp an extra or two for 'testers'. I'm not always sure of colors, so I like to test different things out before starting my actual coloring. Anyone else do this?...

To my surprise, I didn't mess up too much, though still decided to color all the images I stamped out. Which took me about a whole day to finish. lol I color so slow...but it is relaxing...so...yeah. ;) 

Anyhow, here are my cards. I was only going to make one card but with all the images I colored, there's was more than enough for another card. ;) 

First up:

And second:

Well, that's all for me. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great weekend and see you soon! :) 

Hello

Hi y'all! :)

Hope all is well?!...It sure has been a minute since I've posted anything. I always think summertime (even though it's not officially summer, yet.) will slow things down some and somehow that just doesn't happen. lol 

Anyhow, I did sneak in some crafty time and made a card for the current Pinkfresh Studio Challenge. Sometimes challenges are just what you need to get your crafty mojo back. ;) 

I kept my card simple, did a little stenciling and of course, die cutting. ;) Oh, and I even did a little hot foiling! :) Pretty straight forward and easy peasy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and see you soon! :) 

Friend

Hi y'all! :)

Hope all is well?!...

It's sure been a minute since I've posted, I apologize about that. I'm still here, though things just got a little busy. ;) 

Anyhow, I did want to share a card I made for the current Taylored Expressions challenge on Facebook. (#TEMakerChallenge) 

I went with 'clean and simple' (as usual lol) and did a little watercolor coloring with watercolor pencils. I haven't used those in who knows how long, but they were starring at me and thought I should try and use them. ;) Pretty straight forward and easy, right?!...

That's all for me today. I'm going to try and create some more and enjoy some sunshine. :)

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

Sending love

Hi y'all! 

Happy Thursday, almost Friday! :)

I'm swinging in to share a card for the current CASology challenge. 

I went back and forth on deciding whether or not to get the Concord & 9th Painted Peony set (only because I really don't need anything more lol)...then when I saw that Ellen Hutson had a sale with Concord & 9th products, I jumped on it and I'm so happy I did! :) 

For my color scheme I was actually inspired by what I saw on the back of the package the stamps/dies came in and as well as all the projects on the C9 blog, etc. So nice when it works out like that, right?!...I kept things clean and went for an 'off the edge' look and then simply stamped on the 'sending love' sentiment. Easy peasy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me.

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

Hugs

Treat yourself

Hi y'all! 

Happy Saturday, hope all is well?! :)

I'm just swinging in to share a card I made for a sweet friend of mine. I didn't want to share it until I knew she received it. ;) 

I'm slowly using up some more sets I have sitting around just begging to be used. Can't tell you how long I've had things 'just sitting'. lol I also tried my hand again at using the chalk pastel pencils I have and well, I do really like them, though I still need practice with them. But they're still fun to play with. That's what counts, right?! :) 

Well, that's all for me.

Enjoy your weekend! :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
