Friends.......

today I have a card to share for all of you! I could not wait to drag out this cute stamp from Hero Arts, so last night I heard it calling out my name. 

I love all these wonderful colors: pinks, green and blue. The paper is the Basic Grey lemonade collection. 

I had not used my Copics in such a long time, so I decided to dust them off and put a little color into the basket of flowers on the bike. I forgot how much fun they are. I am sure I will be making another card and adding some more color with these babies real soon! Well, I just wanted to take a quick break from my projects for Graphic 45 (that I cannot wait to share)...... guess I better get back to those! 

Have a beautiful day!

Sweetie.......

that is what she is....... my sweet little niece. I only get to see her a couple times a year so I treasure every moment with her. This is one of my favorite layouts because it holds such funny memories. I will never forget getting these pictures..... it was like pulling teeth! She does not like to have her picture taken at all. That morning we got all dressed up and went to have pictures taken professionally, got there and she would have nothing to do with it. After about an hour trying, I decided to forget it and took her home to try to take them there. It still took awhile, but finally ended up with these priceless photos.

Well, I received my Graphic 45 Design Team box today and I am ready to dive in and start designing some great stuff to share with everyone. Make sure you check the G45 blog often, because there are some very talented ladies on the team and I am sure you will find some wonderful inspiration over there.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Bouquets of Joy....

Good morning everyone! It is rainy, rainy, rainy here today, but no worries....... not cloudy in my soul. I am sending bouquets of joy to you today.

This card uses lots of Graphic 45 goodness! Sorry for the poor picture quality, like I said...... very cloudy and rainy, but I was determined to share today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoy!

Simple things

Good morning...... I awoke early this morning to get the girlies off to school, made their favorite breakfast...... waffles and eggs, then felt the need to make a little something to share with everyone today. This is another card using a few of Tammy Tutterow's beautiful vintage images. I am a sucker for any kind of flowers and this one is ooohh so heavenly. 

You can find Tammy's images at tammytutterow.com I am sure you will love them as much as I do! Well, after that spark of creativity, I feel the need to do some more before the laundry or house cleaning gets started : )

Have a wonderful day....

Easter wishes for you......

This beautiful vintage image is from tammytutterow.com

What a beautiful morning....... the birds are softly singing, the trees are gently blowing, the grass is green and life is beautiful. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family.

Hello.......

Just popping in to say hello and have a great day!

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday everyone! Well, I am still feeling giddy and smiling from ear to ear today about my joining the Graphic 45 Design Team. I have received emails from the other Design Team ladies and they all seem so nice......... it is going to be a great year with them! Thanks ladies.

I love this color combination, aqua, coral and off white............ perfect! Hope everyone has a good Friday, a Happy Easter and a great weekend!

Giddy..............

yep, that is what I am feeling! I woke up to a nice surprise this morning, the birds where singing, the wind was blowing, everything is turning lush green again and warm temperatures. But, that was not the surprise.......... the surprise was, I found out that I made the Design Team for Graphic 45! I am so honored and excited about this opportunity and I cannot wait to get started. Thank you so much Graphic 45 for allowing me this opportunity. I also want to congratulate all the other ladies that made the team as well and I look forward to getting to know each one of you over the next year.

Now, I will share a dainty little Easter card I made for my dear, sweet Mother......

This card reminds me of my Mother...... she is so sweet and I am so lucky to have her. Tonight I promised the little one a trip to the mall and ice cream, so guess I had better get going. Have a great evening.
