Sweetheart ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you're all having a beautiful week filled with lots of sunshine!

I finished a card last week and have given a try with some fussy cutting.  Oh my goodness .. I see a lot of you ladies do that cutting ... and I'm absolutely awed by your work!  Soooooo .. I had gotten out some of my papers that had flowers on them, and decided to try it .. hehe!  It was actually quite fun!  Thank you ladies for inspiring me!

I put lots of stickles on the fussy cuts, and added in some crystal gems with the flowers.

Hope you all have a beautiful day and thank you so much for visiting me!  I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise

Daydreaming of You ...

Hey Ya's!  Are you ready for the weekend?  :)

The weather here has been up and down .. hot then cool, hot then cool.  hmmmm ... but we have been enjoying the roses that has been blooming in our back yard.  I mentioned to one of my friends that I don't have the green thumb to plant anything .. but I am very capable of cutting the flowers to place into vases.  ;)  hehehe!  I'll show you a photo at the end of my post of some we picked a couple weeks ago.

I recently made a card with an Elisabeth Bell image, I think she is called "Daisy".  She was one of the first stamps I bought back in 2009 and I still love her!  I've been trying to colour up images that I've still not played with .. but saw this one as I was looking through my things and had to ink her again.  :)  She's coloured with Distress Reinkers, some Prisma Pencils and Watercolors.

Thank you so very much for stopping by and visiting me .. I truly appreciate it and would love to hear from you!  :)

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Hugs,

Elise

Sending Kisses ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all had a beautiful weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day!!!

Every Mother's Day for the past few years .. my hubby will let Bodhi choose a card for me.  And it never fails .. but Bodhi chooses the most PERFECT cards.  It hits my heart and fills me with love .. but this year .. Bodhi's card literally made me cry.  Flat out tears streaming down my cheeks as I opened it to read such beautiful words .. but the card also played the song, "You are my Sunshine".   omword .. every time I hear that song I get so choked up!!!

It makes me think of ... childhood, of purity, of days when grasshoppers and worms were things to look forward to in my backyard as a kid, of singing it to my parents, of love and special friendships.  Makes me think of my Bodhi being born, of how much I love him and how much happiness he brings to my life .. just so many memories and emotions all bundled up in a song.

Annnnnnyway .. lol!  I made a card using a Mo Manning image called "Kissy" that I've had for some time and finally coloured her up.  She makes me smile!  And that pink lace behind is from the lovely Ribbon Girl Store. :)

Thank you so much for visiting me .. I truly do appreciate it!  I'll see you again soon!

Have a lovely day!

Hugs,

Elise

A Perfect Day ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all had a most BEAUTIFUL weekend!

Bodhi's counting down the last weeks of school .. only one more month to go and it's Summer vacation for him once again.  Can you believe it?!  Is it just me or are the days going faster and faster?!  sigh ... can someone help me invent a time machine so we can start over from the day we want over and over again?  LOL!

Well, I've made a card last week and here it is:

Thank you so very much for visiting me .. I truly appreciate it!  I'll see you again soon!

Wishing all of you a most wonderful day!

Hugs,
