Happy Mother's Day Card

 Today is Mother's Day. Pretty Chilly this morning, Have my warm cup of coffee. They are calling for spotty rain. At least it's not suppose to rain all day. Wanted to share with you the card that I made my Mom for Mother's Day.

So here Is the card that I made for her. 

I really enjoyed making this card and love the paper I used from a paper pack I had. thought It went perfect with this card.

My coloring on the bird Isn't the best. My aqua painter has about had It. You can tell It made brush stroke marks on It. But thought It kind of worked on the bird. Made It look a little like feather's.
I used an acrylic block and added Ink and a touch of alcohol. Then used my aqua brush to paint It on. No water in the brush. I stamped the bird on shimmer paper


 I will be leaving soon for Church, when I get home I will be making a lemon cake and some pasta salad. Having a pitch In Supper at my Mom's later. 

Thank you all for stopping by, hope you enjoyed seeing my card.

To all you Mom's out there, Happy Mother's Day!  Happy Day to you all and God bless!

Rose Garden Card

 Hello,So happy you could stop by. It's Wednesday. Just got home from the eye doctor. My eyes are bothering me a little from being dilated. Looking forward to getting some new glasses. 

Going to be going to Church tonight. they are going to be having my husbands cousin a surprise birthday party after the service.

Made her a card and of course I had to share It with you all.         

First time using the die and just loved that It was so simple to make. I do wish I hadn't trimmed off the leaves. It's kind of bothering me. Bothering me a lot actually. But I hated  to start over and do It again since the card was finished before I really noticed.  Is that bad? Maybe she won't notice. (fingers crossed).

Well that's It for me.  Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and blessings to you all.

Baby Bottle Shape Card

  Hello, It's Tuesday and the sun Is shining and going to be warmer today. The grandkids are here, they are on Spring Break. We stayed up most of  the night. Had a good time. Laughing, playing cards,Grandaughter read from her newest book. Took silly pictures, Pizza and snacks.

I figured they will be spending most of their break with us. So I thought while they are still asleep I would make this quick post and share with you a baby card that I made for a baby shower. 

This card was fun to make. Don't get to make to many baby cards. this card was going to be a shaker card but didn't have the colors of sequins that I wanted. So I decided not to. I think It's still cute.  

Used the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge

(To make the center of the bottle I took a Image of a zero and placed It in the middle of the bottle and just hid the center.) Perfect shape

Other supplies used-   

Clear Accetate  
1/2 inch Circle Punch  and also a stitched circle die

Stamp Sets- Short and Sweet (Stampin Up). It's a boy Is from a Martha Stewart Set


Cardstock- Kraft, Marina Mist, Creamy Caramel and Whisper White, (from my scrap cardstock tote.) Have really been doing good with using up my scraps of cardstock.

Used the Martha Stewart Score Board to make the lines In the cap of the bottle and used the 1/2 inch circle punch to make the milk.

Can't remember where I got the paper.

Even though It didn't turn out to be a shaker card in the end, I still think It turned out cute.

 (Now It's time for me to go wake the grand kids up). I don't think I will be getting much sleep this week. Oh well, We will have fun making memories.

So nice of you to stop by. Please leave a comment so I can visit you. Have a wonderful week.

Little Owl for my Craftroom

Hello Crafters. Hope you all are having a nice Tuesday. The sun Is shinning here today. About a week ago I opened up my new Cricut. Actually had It a good while but just now turning It on and getting It set up. So I am still learning and there Is a lot to learn. ( But I'm still going to use my Expression and Gypsy.) 

For my first project to make I thought I would try something simple. Found this cute little Owl on there and It was one of the free Images and I love Owls. My craft room curtains even has Owls on them. 

So thought I would share a picture of a little Owl that I made for my craftroom.                                                                               
                                                                                                      

                           

 For my first project I thought It turned out pretty cute. There wasn't a shadow for this so I just cut out another piece of the main Image and made It a  little bigger. It's o.k. I do know there Is away to make shadows on design space. That's something I have on my list of things to learn. 

Here Is a list of things I used to make this little Owl. (I think I cut It at 7 Inches.)

Owl- Free Image on Design Space
Card Stock- Wild Wasabi, More Mustard,Chocolate Chip,Very Vanilla. Bright green and gray from my scrap cardstock tote.
Stamps- Swirls- Recollections- Fun Borders
and the Spots are Prima
Little Scissors Die

Will be posting some other projects soon. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Day to you.
