Cryogen White and Pan Pastel

There is nothing difficult about making today's card! I started out with Cryogen White Cardstock from The PaperTemptress then inked up a background stamp with Versamark and smeared pan pastels over it and bam, the background was done! I felt guilty about it being so easy so I cut a piece of Heavy Duty Clear Vellum cardstock into a little banner, heat embossed a sentiment and that was it!

You Float My Boat

My card today features You Float My Boat and matching die from Lawn Fawn and for the background I used Constellation from Hero Arts.  The card was sent to a dear friend who stepped up to the plate after my run in with Mother Nature and helped me until I was back on my feet! She truly was a lifesaver!

Ice Hockey Hugh

The Hockey League is very happy to announce that after an in depth review of all the stats for the season, Ice Hockey Hugh from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, has won. hands down, the title of being in the most fights on and off the ice and losing every one of them!  Oh well, better luck next season Hugh!

Veggin Out

With the exception of maybe a tomato plant in a pot, today's card is as close to a garden as I'm going to have since I have a very, very black thumb! Thanks to the adorable Veggin Out stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps, I can have perfect vegetables all year long!

High Tops

Today's card is High Tops, a recent release from Just Inklined! Great image for the guys on your list!

Tweet Spots

The Easter Bunny brought me a basket full of special treats to enjoy, no eggs, no chocolate, just fabulous crafting goodness. One of the sets in the basket was Tweet Spots, from The Alley Way Stamps, that I used to create today's card.

Birds of a Feather

Shhhh, have a peek but quiet please! Birds of a Feather from The Alley Way Stamps, is sitting on her one and only egg, keeping it warm until it hatches which could happen at any moment! She's a first-time mommy, so understandably, she's tired and a little nervous!

Fetch

Welcome to this week's Squigglefly Challenge hosted by Holley's Hobbyists! Flutterby Butterfly requires a butterfly that can be a diecut, brad, sticker, or in your image, as long as there is a buterfly. For my card I used Fetch from Squigglefly artist, Judith Hart and the sentiment was created by Holly Young. You have one week to participate and to be eligible to win you need to use a Squigglefly image and if you don't have one, try one of their many freebies!

Cuddly Critters Rabbit

HAPPY EASTER! Your house was the last stop for the Easter Bunny a/k/a Cuddly Critters Rabbit from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, and one of the rabbit helpers reported hearing a suspicious sound coming from inside an egg. So you might want to use extreme care when biting into any of the eggs they left for you to find!

Playful Bunnies

The Squigglefly Challenge hosted by Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals is still going on! For my card I used the  cute Playful Bunnies by Squigglefly artist, Pamela Lehto. If you play along, be sure to use a Squigglefly image to be eligible to win and if you don't have one, help yourself to a freebie!

Dusty Rabbit

Dusty Rabbit from Just Inklined is an oldie but definitely a goodie for sending Easter Wishes! 

Brown Bag

To create today's card I started with Neenah Desert Storm (Kraft) cardstock as the base and added a background of Blueberry Brown Bag then with the help of a stencil and white embossing paste, added the dragonflies. The focal dragonfly was made using a die and Oliver Brown Bag and Ice Jade Vellum. All the cardstock used is from one of my favorite places to shop, The PaperTemptress!

Tax Day

This gentle Tax Day reminder is brought to your courtesy of Mo's Digital Pencil!

Hilda and Hercules

Look who's out for a quiet walk, it's Hilda and Hercules from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps! Hercules looks like a grump but that's how he always looks when he sees a cat and he's on a leash! He wouldn't dream of dragging his beloved Hilda down the street but if that cat dares to step in his yard, all bets are off!  The background is Retro Rubrics Backing Paper from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

Veggin Out and More

When I see polkadots, its instant love and so when I visited the Be Inspired Challenge hosted by The Alley Way Stamps and saw the inspiration photo of polkadots, I had to play along! To complete my card I used elements from Veggin Out, Jibber Jabber, Face It, Pieces, and Snow Much Fun stamp sets from The Alley Way Stamps.

Moo

Had a little shopping trip over at Mo's Digital Pencil and couldn't resist Moo! Honest, this image just makes me laugh and really what else would you expect a cow to say?

Captain Thunderpants

Hey, hey, hey, look who it is, its Dr. Digi's House of Stamps', one and only Captain Thunderpants! The Captain was out for a little exercise and had a slight accident so now he's just giving himself some air hoping to dry things out before going into the old folks home to give a little show for the ladies!

Teddy Bears Picnic

The new Just Inklined release Teddy Bears Picnic brings back such sweet memories of me sitting by the radio on Saturday mornings and listening to the announcer holler "There's No School Today" followed by the song, Teddy Bears Picnic! I do not remember learning much at school, I was a recess, bus ride and boys kinda of student, but I remember most of the words to the song. If you care to have a listen, click here.

Vellum and Heavenly White

What do you get when you mix Heavy Duty 48# Clear Vellum, Heavenly White Premium Ultra Smooth and Black cardstock from the PaperTemptress, and then throw in a little black embossing powder, a stencil, embossing paste, glitter and a die?  You get today's card! Add a pretty butterfly and you're done!

Old Goat

One of the things that I did not get a chance to share with you was a birthday card for my brother.  He is so old, he no longer has birthdays, instead he celebrates anniversaries of anniversaries of his 29th birthday! The image I used for his card is Old Goat from QKR Stampede and the sentiment says it all!
