Love Song

Good Morning! Today I have a cheery card to share with you.  I just love waking up to hear the birds singing outside, and this sweet image called Love Song by Faith and can be found HERE!  I fussy cut it out and layered it over an embossed panel and some other panels of paper by K & Company and Stampin' Up.  Oh, and some fun washi tape.  The background music paper is by Dear Lizzy and I added some rhinestones as well.  Also a little flower button that I filled with blue liquid pearl and a rhinestone for the centre.  I have used the sketch being offered at Delightful Inspiration {from the heart} and it was a really fun one to play with! I did off set it a bit....just because I wanted the flourish to fit.

Have a great day!

Yeah! It's Sketch Time with I {heart} Sketches!

Hi Everyone! It's sketch time again over at Delightful Inspiration {from the heart}!
For my card today I've used this great bird from Faith's Birdbrain Balloon set you can find at the Designed 2 Delight store HERE!  I wanted to go for a masculine feel so I used some burlap ribbon and staples to go with the great paper I found at the Dollar Store.  The panel the birdie is on is actually vellum and I framed and popped it up.

Do try out this sketch, it's simple yet fantastic! Would love to see what you come up with!  Here's a close up of the great birdie popped up panel!

Thanks for dropping by and have a beautiful day!

Who wouldn't want a chance to have some of Faith's incredible images?  So do pop over an play along!
For my card I've coloured it up with my prismas and a touch of marker for some small details.  Then I rounded and inked the edges blue (hard to see in the pic).  I layered up some fun papers by K & Company and tied on a ribbon by Offray with small rhinestones in the bottom panel.  The sentiment is from Lil' Inkers and the cupcake is 'iced' and glittered.
I hope you're all having a great week! Thanks for dropping by!

Love to Eat Cake!

Need a Mitten?

Hello Everyone! Are you enjoying a snowy day? We sure are. I love building snowmen and this image is totally fitting with my mood today!
This image is called Mittens and is new over at Designed 2 Delight.  Looks like they've found all the mittens the children have lost while out enjoying the snow!  How thoughtful of them to display them so they can be claimed!
I've kept the layout simple and used papers from Recollections and some bronze pearls from Forever in Time.
Do bundle up and enjoy some of the snowflakes, even if it's just for a few minutes then come inside and enjoy some yummy hot chocolate to warm up!
I'm sharing this card at For Fun Challenges this week. Come join in the Buurrr your cold or Yikes your hot challenge.

Snow Much Love!

Today I would like to share a card with you that I've made with a new image from Designed 2 Delight! Is't this wonderful - Snow Much Love it's called.  I've coloured it with markers and matted it to some bright orange cardstock from Recollections.  The patterned paper is from Paper Reflections.  I wanted to add a snowflake, but thought that this little white flower I made might be a good substitute (soft and fluffy) tied on with some orange satin ribbon.  I saw this sentiment on Pinterest and thought it perfect (although I can't for the life of me find who it was from -and yes, I forgot to write it down initially).  The rhinestones are just to add a touch of sparkle!
Hope you're all enjoying the day!  Find someone to hold onto and have a snuggle!

Do You Love Catching Snowflakes?

Do pop over and check out the new challenge! HERE!
For my card I've coloured up this wonderful snowman with my pencil crayons and matted it to some navy cardstock.  I added this to some wonderful frosty paper from Recollections and added some ribbon from Kaiser Craft and a sentiment from Tina Wenke.
I hope you can play along! We'd love to see your creations!

Are You Ready for Snow?

Are you ready for snow? I'm not but this guy sure is!  Love the look of confidence he has!  We had our first snow on September 10th, and it's been creeping down the mountains ever since!
Don't you just love this guy! I'd love to go skiing with him!  You can find Snowman Skier over at Designed 2 Delight's store HERE!
I also tried something new.  One of my K & Company papers is embossed with snowflakes and sanded down a bit. I really should have tried this before!  I used a sentiment that I found at TLC creations and couldn't resist it! It's Free!  I though it went perfectly with him!
Well, if you have snow, enjoy it! It might stay a long time! LOL
Have a great day!

  I used an image from the September release by Designed 2 Delight. It's called Autumn Flower Jar and you can find it in the store HERE! I coloured it up with my pencil crayons and added it to some paper from DCWV and some feather paper.  The ribbon is from my collection and so is the little metal clip.

Delightful September Release

Hello! Today we have a wonderful blog hop for you to share the wonderful new images that Faith at Designed 2 Delight has created!  At the bottom of the post are the links to all the hops, due to the range of time zones we have, there is no particular order, so pick your own pattern!

The ribbon is from Stampin' Up and buttons are from my collection.

My next one is done using the wonderful new winter image Moonlight Snowman.  I have coloured with pencil crayons accept for the nose, smile and heart and I used fiskars markers.  I added some bright yellow feather paper under the image and a foam snowflake and bright red ribbon.  The ticket I used is from Digi Doodle Stamps.  The background paper is from K & Company and I actually embossed it with my snowflake embossing folder (Cuttlebug).  The second picture will show it a bit better.

Have a wonderful day!

Delightful Hopping!

Today is the August release and Blog Hop for Designed 2 Delight.  Faith has done up some wonderful new images and I'll be sharing those with you in the next couple of weeks.  But for today, I have chosen some wonderful images from her store to celebrate the coming of school and fall.  Plus winter is coming......it won't be too long especially for me up in the Yukon.  It's already been down low enough for frost and my potatoes are starting to yellow.  My kids and I picked a bunch of peas/ beans and carrots today and they were snitching a few raspberries that have ripened.
School is starting next week for most kids and my kids will be starting their lessons after Labour Day weekend and my birthday!  Lots of fun.
Anyhow.....I've gone off on a tangent.  Today I have some cards to share with you that feature some images that are perfect for the coming seasons.  Above is School Maisie Belle and she can be found at the Designed 2 Delight store HERE!

For this next card I've used the Apple a Day Set and it can be found HERE!  I love apples and apple pie is wonderful....especially for breakfast with a slice of cheddar cheese! YUM! Then for the inside I've chosen another image to match called Two Apples, found HERE!

Now for some cooler cards!

This ones a bit frost and I always think of cardinals being red since this is one of my grandfather's favourite birds.  I used some great paper from K & Company and a background stamp from Hero Arts to add the frosty wind behind these fabulous Whimsical Cardinals by Faith at Designed 2 Delight. It can be found HERE!
Then for a final chill here is Stitched Snowman and it can be found HERE!

Now for all the new images they can be found in the Designed 2 Delight Shop. You'll want to check them out!

I've used the adorable birdbrain balloon from Designed 2 Delight and coloured it with my pencil crayons.  I used a new embossing folder for the yellow panel and some fun green plaid ribbon.  the sentiment is from Lil' Inkers and the patterned paper is from my stash along with the little metal clip and rhinestones.  Oh and the three in the balloon I stamped with a set that was given to me so I don't have any idea where they were from.
Well, he's all full of cake and pizza now and is playing with his new hot wheels case full of some new and well loved cars!
I'd like to share this card over at The Stamping Boutique - Balloons challenge.

This wonderful chick just needed to be outside in a bright sunny meadow with some flowers.  I've coloured up this wonderful chick called Birdbrain Balloon and it can be found HERE.  The sentiment is also from Chick Sentiments and is HERE.  I've added some fun yellow stitched ribbon from SoFacile and a misc clip from my stash with just a touch of distressing and the "grass" is created by a deckle decorative scissor.

Ahhhhh What's better than a good soak in a tub full of bubbles?  I just love this Birdbath Chick found HERE.  As I love layer of luscious bubbles in my tub, I have added layers of wonderful papers to go with this images I've coloured with pencil crayons.  I added some bright flowers and leaves since my bird bath is surrounded by flowers in my yard and a tucked in tag seen below.  The sentiment is from Chick Sentiments found HERE.
