Lighthouse
Since I was making a thank you card for Matt the other day, I made an extra for "when needed". This lighthouse is from the same stamp set (not SU). I used basic gray for everything~~ink, cardstock layers and designer series paper. I even had little adhesive dots in basic gray. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's retired Teeny, Tiny Wishes. This card could be used for a variety of occasions. There is a new nautical stamp set in SU's new annual catalog. I will definitely be purchasing it come June 4th! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Meet Sandie
Anyway, the little girl was quite skittish when we first met her. In no time at all, she attached herself to John. When he is not home, then she likes me! She is a gentle dog and now the poor little girl will get heartworm treatment. Once that is complete, she will be ready for adoption. Until then, she is our little treasure. Have a great day!

More Cuteness
Today's card is from my friend, Paula. She also used Stampin' Up's Fable Friends stamp set for her adorable card. She used Stampin' Up Blends (alcohol markers) to color the Mom and her ducklings which are too cute! This stamp set is in the Occasions catalog. I looked at it, but wasn't something that really caught my attention. That was until Paula sent me a gift tag with the bunny image. I then looked again and saw that the stamp set is very cute. Now I get two Easter cards using the same stamp set in totally different ways. Wouldn't this make an adorable Mother's Day card? Have a wonderful Easter and remember the gift of love we were all given all those years ago.

Fable Friends
Today's card was created by my friend, Kathy Z. The bunny is from Stampin' Up's Fable Friends stamp set. She used Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green cardstock and gingham checked paper. The bunny was stamped on white cardstock and then layered on Highland Heather cardstock. Kathy used SU's Stitched Shapes Framelits for the ovals. Pretty card, Kathy. Have a great day!

Hoppy Friend
I find myself using Stampin' Up's Gingham Gala Designer Series
paper quite often. For today's card I used the Highland Heather paper and cardstock. I colored the pretty bunny (MFT Stamps Hoppy Friends stamp set) with Prisma colored pencils. The sentiment is from my well-used set from SU, Teeny Tiny Wishes. I am going to have to order more of the Gingham Checked paper before May 31st as it is in the Occasions Catalog and will not carry over to the new Annual catalog. Have a great day!

Warm Wishes
After the snowy Sunday we had, I decided to post a card that reminds me of nice, warm weather. This card was created using Stampin' Up's Beach Happy stamp set. For the beach umbrella, I stamped the image on Calypso Coral 6x6 Designer Series Paper and then fussy cut it. I layered that on the image that I previously stamped on the card. I simply stamped the coordinating chair seat using Calypso Coral ink. Carefully, I sponged blue for the sky and Crumb Cake for the sand. I framed the beach scene using an oval framelit to create the opening and added a few palm fronds around the edges. Have a great day and think warm!

Doggy Kisses Get Well
Today's card was created using Art Impression's Doggy Kisses stamp set. A few days ago we found out that out neighbor across the street fell and ended up with some bad breaks in her leg. She is a mom of 3 grade school kids, so this injury and following surgery is making life a little challenging at the time. Her recovery from surgery is going to take at least six weeks. The little bandaged dog and the sentiment were perfect for her. I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color and the Scan N Cut to cut out the image. I will say that of the four dog images in the set, only this dog cut out on the SNC. I tried different things to get them all cut out, but I finally told myself I would work on the problem another time. Have a great day!

Country Floral
I got the results of my MRI. I do not have a torn Meniscus~~yay. But I do have degenerative joint disease of the knee. For now the doctor has suggested that I continue icing and even using a cane for three months. It is possible that this could heal. It is a bit better than 10 days ago, so I am hoping and praying it heals. Until then, I just do things slower. Have a great date!

Looking For Sunshine
Yesterday was Cricut Sunday and it was good! Because life gets in the way, we have missed a couple months of Cricut Sundays. So yesterday it felt good to be with some of my favorite ladies. To top it off, Jen, Sydney and Niklas came for lunch and that made the day more special.
John was out of town for the weekend so I had a lot of time to clean up my messy scrap room. We were supposed to get our foster dog, Sandy, on Saturday. Unfortunately, she had intestinal parasites and the vet wouldn't release her for transport. So John went to play with his friends in Havana, Illinois. He deserves to get away! The last two months have been all about taking me to doctor appointments, physical therapy and the like. It was a nice change of pace for both of us to be able to play with our friends. And hopefully we will get Sandy in two weeks. The poor little girl deserves to start her new life in a home with people that will love her and take good care of her while she waits for her forever family.
Today's card was made while I was cleaning my scrap room mess. The image was colored and cut out long before that, but just on the counter waiting for a place to go. I started playing with the image and different colors and framelits and successfully used the image to make something cute. The little duck is from Simon Says Stamp's Flowers and Showers set. I used MFT's Mini Scalloped Circles for the layers. It's a fun card. Have a great day!

With Sympathy
This morning I have an MRI so hopefully the doc will have a clearer picture of what is going on in my knee. It just isn't getting better. Have a great day!
