You Are My Sunshine

Hi!

We're expecting a lovely sunny day with a high of about 84 degrees today! My husband and I picked a perfect day for our annual trip to the North Carolina State Fair! I think this is the fourth year we have enjoyed the fair as a couple! We take it nice and slow enjoying all the sights, the crafts, the garden displays, the food, the carved pumpkins, and I always have to hold a baby chick! I really would like to have chickens at home, but this will have to do.

Anyway, before I leave, I want to share a card with you.

I've created lots and lots of projects using the Bella Blvd. new 'Winter Wonder' collection so now I want to show off their equally fun and colorful 'Spring Flings and Easter Things' line! Hands down, spring is my favorite season of the year! I enjoy seeing the earth wake up from its winter nap. The trees sprout their leaves, the birds sing to each other and lay their eggs, the days grown longer and warmer. Then there's Easter, Mother's Day and birthdays! My son and I both celebrate our birthdays in the spring!

For my cloud trio, I used a chipboard cloud, a reverse die cut cloud and a regular die cut cloud. I like the layered look!

Have you ever seen so many darling and colorful umbrellas? Love these! The final touches to this card are the two buttons, from my stash...both from Jesse James.

I hope your Monday is good to you and that you have some equally lovely weather where you are! I'll be back tomorrow with another crafty share!

You Are My Sunshine

Hello!

It's Saturday evening as I type this post. How's your weekend going? I'm having a typical Saturday...enjoying some family time and getting things done, a trip to the flea market first thing this morning for me while the guys got their hair cut.  This afternoon I spent a little time in the kitchen making wheat bread and ice cream! We already finished off the quart I made on the 4th! Must keep up with demand! ;) So what's going on at your home?

I'm stopping in to share a couple projects with you. The first is a hybrid card made with a new Two Peas in a Bucket digital kit called 'Month by Month - June Collection' by Shelley Castillo.

This kit is full of bright and happy patterned papers and elements...just look at this adorable little red bicycle! Love!

I used a couple Spellbinders die cuts for the scalloped card shape and inner circle. Added a little zigzag stitching, ribbon and a tiny button. Done. Fun!

My next project is a scrapbook page using another fabulous digital kit called 'Childs Play' by Polka Dot Pixels. I apologize about the pics...I have a hard time photographing pastels.

This is a photo-less page about a funny thing my son does. In the morning he lays under his covers while he wakes up and then suddenly he'll bolt up and say, "GUPPY!" He started this a couple months ago and it always cracks me up!

There's so many beautiful papers in this kit that I decided to print a bunch of square swatches and then use some Spellbinders die cut circles to punch out the centers.

This kit contains some fabulous vintage images like the little boy on his bicycle. The fish button is from Making Memories...something I've had in my stash for years!

I put these flags from the kit on toothpicks and added a lot of stitching throughout the page. Fun to create!

Well, that wraps up my crafty shares for you this weekend. I'll be back on Monday with another page! Meanwhile, I'm going to go on a little blog hop tonight and see what crafty things you have to share with me! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :) Kathy
