Dreamer of Dreams

Hey Ya's!  Hope you are all doing very well!

I simply cannot believe that we are in the month of May .. almost half of the year has gone .. my goodness!

I haven't had the pleasure of colouring a Sylvia Zet image in quite awhile .. so I treated myself to a couple of her digi's which you can find in her store here.  They're all so darling .. can't resist any of them really.

I've coloured this with Distress Reinkers and also watercolors.

Thank you so very much for stopping by to visit me!  I wish you all a most wonderful day!

Hugs,

Elise

Sweet ...

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Kit and Clowder April challenge! Every month we will be doing a fun new challenge over on the Kit and Clowder website where you can win a prize from one of our amazing sponsors.

Our fabulous challenge sponsor this month is Whimsy Stamps. Whimsy Stamps also sponsors the K & C website and have generously donated a $15 gift certificate to the winner of this challenge! You do not need to use a whimsy stamps image to participate but there are some fabulous images over in the store to inspire you.

This month we want you to show us your Blue creations! We just require any part of your project to be blue... we would love for you to experiment colouring Blue but if it's in your papers or embellishments that is ok too! The design team has some fabulous inspiration this month and have even listed what colours they have used in their favourite mediums to create some beautiful blue hues.

The challenge will remain open until the first Saturday of May. Hope to see you all playing along!

Here is my card using an absolute darling image from Sylvia Zet called "Mary" coloured with Distress Reinkers.  :)

My blues are verrrrry simple!  lol!

Her dress:  Tumbled Glass

Sky:  Salty Ocean

Please pop on by Kit and Clowder and hope that you will join in on the fun!  And come over to see my fabulous DT Sisters gorgeous creations .. you'll love them!  

Thank you so very much for visiting me .. I love it when you do! See you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise

Wishes

Hello Friends!  Hope you are all well!  Can't believe my little one will be going back to school next week ..ugh!  I'm already dreading it ... since I'd rather him be at home with me.  lol! 

I had an "Ice Cream Date" with him the other night .. I took him to an ice cream parlor just he and I.  And he acted like such a gentleman .. asking me, "How are you enjoying your ice cream Mommy?"  We both agreed that each of ours was yummy.  He had Cookies and Cream, and I had Strawberries and Cream.  :)

I loved listening to his chatterbox stories as he told me about Spiderman and Hero Factory ... he knows so much about them and I've grown to enjoy them as well believe it or not!  haha!!!  And at the end, he told me, "I loved my ice cream date with you!  You're the best Mommy in town!"  Awww man!  *Note to self* ~ Gotta make it a point to do this more often!  :)

Well, I had some time to play with this cute Sylvia image the other week, and only now posting it.  :)

Hope you're all enjoying your week and I"ll see you again very soon!  Thank you so much for visiting me!  :)
