Follow Your Dreams ...

Hey You's!  Hope you're all doing well and can you believe Spring is almost here already?  Are you having more warmer days where you are?

I made this card last week using the Pion Days Gone By papers .. so much fun to play with these papers!  And I made some stickpins to add on here .. which I haven't done for ages ... and realized I missed doing it.

I hope you're all enjoying your day ... and sunshine is smiling on your day.  Thank you so much for visiting me!

Hugs,

Elise

Happy Wishes ...

Hey You's!  Hope you are all enjoying each day and the start of March!

I received a gift card for my birthday to Crafteezee back in January .. and definitely had such a wonderful time shopping in her beautiful store!  These Mintay papers were just one of the stacks I decided to try .. and so happy with my decision .. as these papers are so lovely!  And definitely would recommend Tracy's store .. she is soooo helpful and such a love!

Thank you so much for visiting me and I wish you all a most WONDERFUL day!

Love Life ...

Hey You's!  Hope you're all ready for Valentine's Day?  :)  Gosh, the way time is flying, Easter will be here before we know it!  hehe.

Well I got to making this little shaker card and did a little bit of fussy cutting.  Truly had a lot of fun doing it!

Thank you so much for stopping by and wishing you all a most fabulous day filled with love, chocolates and great food!  ;)

Christmas is Over?

Hello You's!  Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas filled with everything you wanted it to be!  Can you believe it's over already?  :(

We had a nice quiet Christmas .. I love spending it at home .. all cozy and snuggly in jammies all day.  ;)  Of course I wish we could have had my family in town .. but maybe next year.  Bodhi had a wonderful day .. he loved every single bit of gifts and cards he received!

So these are my last Christmas cards I did for this year ... 

 This first one is an image by Elisabeth Bell which I used distress reinkers, prisma pencils and watercolors on:

These next set of cards I used lace to make the Christmas tree ones:

I also wanted to wish you all a very beautiful and Happy New Year!!!  May it be filled with lots of love, happiness and great health!!!  Be safe!

Thank you so much for all of your visits and I'll see you once again next year!  ;)

Big hugs,

Elise

Santa Stop Here ...

Hey You's!  Are you all doing well and keeping warm?  I hope so!

Christmas is right around the corner once again.  I'm not sure how it's gotten here so quick, but it has.  Are you ready for the big day?  I think we've gotten everything we needed (I hope we have).  Bodhi is ready ... more so ready since he's looking forward to no school.  ;)  hehe!

I've played with my Lili of the Valley stamps and coloured it with distress reinkers, prisma pencils and watercolours.

Hope you finished all of your Christmas cards you wanted to get done!  I know I certainly didn't .. lol.  Thank you so much for your visit and keep safe!  If I don't see you again before Christmas .. have a verrrry Merry Christmas filled with lots of love, joy and laughter!

Hugs,

Elise

Warm Hugs & Kisses ...

Hey You's!  Time is flying by right?  Hope you've all been well!

It's nearing December, and I can't believe the weather we've been having.  It's quite warm for this time of year .. we were in the high 70's for quite awhile .. and only now dropping to mid 60's.  And those who know me well .. know I love my chilly weather.  So I wish the cold weather would hurry up and swoosh in any minute now.  ;)

I made this Christmas card over a span of about a month.  Let me tell you, the struggle is real.  LOL.  Why is it when I would like to get a whole lot more Christmas cards done ..the motivation is just .. gone?

This sweet little girl is by the fabulous Elisabeth Bell, and I rec'd her when I was on the Belles n' Whistles DT years ago.  I couloured her up with Distress Reinkers, Twinkling H2O's and watercolours.  

Thank you so much for visiting me even though I don't post as often as I'd like to.  I wish you a most WONDERFUL day!!  :)

Hugs,

Elise

Happy Holidays ...

Hey You's!  Happy November!  Hope you're all doing wonderfully!

Well, I made my first Christmas card for the year!  I'm trying so hard to make more, but hmmmm ... seems my motivation comes and goes incredibly quick.  It more so goes than stays.  lol.  

So for my first Christmas card, I decided to pull out my Graphic 45 paper and go from there.  A shaker is what I came up with .. shakers are so fun to make aren't they?

I'd love to make about 30 Christmas cards, but honestly ... I can see myself making a total of 3.  OMG right?  hahahaha!

Well, thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you a most WONDERFUL day!

Hugs,

Elise

Every Year I Fall For ...

Hello You's!  Are you ready for Halloween?  I think we are!  ;)  

I had my family from Hawaii here in town for a week .. sigh .. gotta tell you .. it never gets any easier to say goodbye when they leave.  My parents, oldest sister, brother in law, niece and one of my nephews came and .. it was way too short a visit.  Of course as always .. Bodhi had such a wonderful time with everyone .. and like me ... had a difficult time saying goodbye.  Until next time right?

Have you all gotten your Halloween things ready?  :)  It seems it has snuck up quite quickly this year for us .. can't believe it's only 5 days away.

I made this card a few weeks ago.  The sentiment is sooooo cute which I found on Pinterest!  It says, "Every year I fall for Pumpkins, Bonfires, S'mores, Autumn Leaves, Apples & You".  Omgosh .. I simply smiled as soon as I saw this sentiment and knew I had to put it on a card.  :)

Thank you so much for visiting me and I wish you all a safe and most Happy Halloween!  :)

Hugs,

Elise

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful ...

Hello You's!  Happy Autumn!  Hope you've all been doing great!

Do you love this time of year as much as I do?  I simply love the early chilly nights, the cold crisp mornings .. and looking forward to more hearty dinners.  I've been searching for recipes and found some that sound delicious .. can't wait to give them a try.  ;)

Well, I made this card about over a month ago, and here it is:

Well, I hope you're enjoying your day wherever you are!  Thank you so much for visiting me ... I so appreciate it!

Hope to see you again soon!

Hugs,

Elise
