Happy Tails to You

Hello all! A year ago I made the decision to take a blog break over the summer that somehow lasted until today. I've enjoyed my time not blogging in fact, I liked it so much, I've decided not to return. I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed getting to know all of you and the many friendships that I've made, not to mention the creativity I have been inspired by.  I wish you all the best and continued craftiness!

You're Souper Cool

I hope you are enjoying a lovely warm day to celebrate Palm Sunday and the first day of spring, however, my card has absolutely nothing to do with either occasion! My card today features one of the adorable chefs from the BB Recipe for Happiness by My Favorite Things. Wishing a chef, any chef, comes knocking on my door, I just hate, hate, HATE to cook! 

I'll Never Forget Your Kindness

Happy Leap Year Day to you and a little giggle to start the week with the help of 

Stacking Animals stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

I Miss Your Face

I can't help but laugh every time I look at the Birds of Paradise stamp set from My Favorite Things!

I hope you have the same reaction to my card. Absolute silliness!

Hey Chickie

I know I should be working on valentines, but I'm not.  Instead, I started playing with stamp sets from The Alley Ways Stamps. I am so sad they closed, I love the humor they brought to our world. 

Cozy Kittens

I'm playing along with From the Heart's Digital Stamps of the Month Challenge. The free image I received for playing in December's challenge is Cozy Kittens! Many thanks for these cuddly cuties! 

Have an Ice Day

Hello, hello! When I decided to take a blog break during the holidays, I hadn't planned on it lasting so long but it did! I'm back now and willing to go but I'm still lacking creativity! Our weather has been so up and down maybe that has something to do with my inability to design, or it could be sheer laziness! 

I made today's card to enter the Lawnscaping Challenge - Winter Wonderland, a great source of inspiration. Stamps from Critters in the Arctic and Critters in the Snow sets were used along with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts. 

I love you more than pie!

Even though most crafters are busy with snowflakes and Christmas trees, I'm still stuck in the fall pumpkin mode! To create today's card I used the Harvest Happiness stamp set from Sunny Studio. 

Maybe tomorrow I will start thinking snow!

Hello You

Once again the busyness of life has gotten in the way of my creating, commenting and blogging. I've missed seeing all of your wonderful creations but I will be around to visit you soon.  I did manage to create one card so that I could play along in the current Lawnscaping Challenge - Thinking of You. The layout of my card is not original but a combination of recent videos I've watched. To create my card I used Scripty Sayings, Birthday Tags, Petite Florals and Home Sweet Home stamp sets and the very pretty ink colors of Wild Rose, Cranberry, Lobster, Fresh Cut Grass and Celery Stick.

Your Kindness . . .

A little playtime with a stencil, distress and black ink!

You're in my Prayers

After no less than 14 bazillion attempts at watercoloring, I finally managed one! 

Oh well, keep trying right! 

Faithful Friends Pumpkin Patch Girl

I made today's card to play along in the Free Stamp of the Month From The Heart Challenge. The image and sentiment is the sweet and adorable Faithful Friends Pumpkin Patch Girl.

Oops!

My card today features Naughty Newton stamp set from Newton's Nook Designs, love this guy!

Copycat

My card today is the result of watching the magic of Nichol Magouirk wonderful creating style happen during videos in the Craftsy Online Paper Crafts Classes she taught. I loved her class, just saying!

Go Braless . . .

I am certain that if all women went braless and only wore grannie panties,

the world would be a much happier place! 

Scene It - Cow Trio

My card today features Scene It - Cow Trio! Just a fun card to put a smile on someone's face. If you like silly images of cows, hurry over to Bugaboo Digi Stamps and enjoy yourself! 

Happy Labor Day!

Some Days You're the Dog

Happy First Day of September, can you believe it! My card today was made using the fun fur-filled BB You Make My Tail Wag stamp set from My Favorite Things! 

Thinking of Mew

I love Newton's Nook Designs and I love playing along in the Inky Paws Challenge which is currently a sketch. To create my card, I used Newton's Antics stamp set that I received for winning the last Inky Paws Challenge. I also used one of the sentiment stamps from Newton's Sick Day. The folks at Newton's Nook Designs are very kind and generous and I'd like to thank them for the awesome stamp set I received and well as their patience with me.

Love You Tons!

The current Lawnscaping Challenge is embossing.  For today's card, I used an embossing folder for the card base and for the mommy elephant I used Critters in the Jungle stamp set and the baby elephant and sentiment is from the Love You Tons set.

Sorry

Hello, hello, hello! I decided to take a blog break and enjoy the summer! But I'm ready to get back to posting. I'll be around to visit everyone soon. In the meantime, to create today's card, I used the duck from the Make it Crafty Hiding Deer and Duck digi set.  Somewhere in my travels across blogland, someone made a card very similar, I apologize for not making note of the blog or their name.
