Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Mother’s out there.  I hope you have a wonderful day today and get spoiled very much.

My youngest is coming over for lunch and will be spending some time with her and her family this afternoon. It is a very raining day again. I so thought we were past this. I know so many places need rain so bad but here we are always having flood warnings. I am ready for some sunshine here instead of dark gloomy days.

Today I would like to show you another sneak peak from Lily Of The Valley. You have a few more days to wait till these cuties come out and you can fill your carts up with them.

Today I am showing you Abracadabra!!! Oh let the Magic begin.

I have used a sentiment from Lily Of The Valley also and used a SU scallop punch on it. I used some photo hangers from Close to my Heart and some ribbon from SU. I added some spacers in the corner of my card. The sketch I used is from Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog  and the theme over at Paper Sundaes is Magical and Mythical.

For You

It is Friday and this time I am dreading saying it. Being on vacation all week has been so nice.

I got me a deck built and have been so busy this week getting things together for it and staining it.

Plus my grandson has moved in with me and we have been so busy getting his things put up and his room

together. But it is such a joy to have him with me. He is such a big help to me.

 

Today on Just Magnolia there is a wonderful sketch by the lovely Bev. I just love this Tilda

and I used a tutorial I found for making these ribbon flowers. Loved it. Well come and join

How is every ones week started out???? Mine started out pretty rocky but I am hoping it will get better lol

I have missed out on so many challenges lately that I just had to come home tonight and make a card. So I decided to do the Sketch Saturday challenge tonight.

I had gotten some new stamps right before I had to take some time off and so I just had to ink these cuties up. When I first started stamping I use to do Vintage and so I always used a lot of I Brake for Stamps images, well I went there and saw these cute adorable Little Rascals they have now and just had to get me some. This one here is called Luuk!!!

He reminds me of one of my grandsons with an attitude lol

I have colored Luuk with my copic's and have used some papers from BoBunny(loving them).

I have used some photo hangers from Close to my Heart and added some SU chocolate chip ribbon. The photo corners are also from Close to my Heart. The gems are just from my stash and the wording is from HH.

I have a couple more of these cute little rascals so watch out for them One is my oldest grandson up one side and down the other and then the other is looking just like my granddaughter. Isn't it funny how you pick out images that look or remind you of your family??

Well I better call it a night, I have to rise early for work, but do hope to come home and bring you another one of the earlier release digital images from Sugar Nellie. Remember you don't have to wait for them to be delivered.

Have a wonderful evening and thanks so much for all your prayers for my brother. We do know he has had a stroke and has some damage they are just trying to figure out what caused it so they can fix it. Thanks so much dear friends and big hugs((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Here is the sketch I made for the challenge this week

A Spoonful Of Sugar is Back!!!!!

Oh I am so glad the new challenges have started. I was off work still and getting very bored. Now I will be saying a different story once I get to go back lol
This week at A Spoonful of Sugar, Nikki has a wonderful sketch for the challenge. For this sketch I have used the adorable Snowflake from Sugar Nellie. Isn't she adorable. I have colored her with my copics and spica glitter pens and a touch of the white gel pen. I added some glamour dust to the snowflakes and some fun flock to the muff. I layered her on some nestibilite dies with each layer being distressed with walnut distressed ink. I used some of my photo hangers from Close to My Heart and the ribbon is from SU. The flourish die was also distressed with the ink and I added some Prima flowers with brads and spacers in the center along with some leaf punchs.

Sorry for the bad photo I have took a pic of this about 7 times and can't get a good pic so hope it is good enough for everyone to make out.
So hope to see everyone in the challenge blogging world.

ADD: I know I haven't got a sentiment on my card but just couldn't decide what I wanted to use for it yet. Sorry
Hugs

Here is the inside of my card, I am starting to get the hang of remembering lol

No Blue

This week at Penny Black Saturday the theme is to make a male card with no blue !!! Oh what a challenge that was. And on this card I used the sketch that Heidi made for Friday Sketchers. I colored my image in that my dear friend Heather sent me with my copic markers and used a white gel pen in places. I added the buttons, prima flowers, and my die cut leaves to the front and at the bottom I used my Close to my heart date stamps.

Simple things!!!

I only got 1 card made today but had fun making it. I have a lot of computer things I have had to do today so hope to get to work on some more cards later tonight. But wanted to show you the only card I had made so far today. The stamps are from Magnolia!! I used some WWP and some Basic Grey paper and I made a pocket and added some photo hangers that I got from local scrapstore (well it is about a 45 minute drive but so worth it. lol I added some ribbon and a metal plate from MM. I colored Tilda and the bale of hay with my copics. Hope you all are having a nice evening. I know I am sure enjoying my vacation even though it is going fast!!!!!! I could get use to staying home lol
