Another Spring Garden Card

Hello! I had little crafty time today and wanted to make another card with the latest Digital Doodle stamp called 'Spring Garden.'

Buy this Card

The sentiment was cut with my Silhouette and I colored in the digital stamp with Copic markers. As you can see, I'm still using the 'Letterbox' paper from American Crafts. I have made countless projects with this line.

Thanks for dropping by! :)

A Beautiful Day

And I'm going to be as happy as a bird with a french fry! :) The caffeine hasn't kicked in yet so I'm feeling a bit tired at the moment, but I'm determined to make it a great day, get a lot done and enjoy this fabulous spring weather we're having! How about you? What's on your agenda for this lovely Thursday?

How about a crafty share? Here's a card I made from one of my favorite lines of paper right now.

The paper I used for this card is 'Letterbox' from American Crafts. The fabric covered Thickers alphabets and the tree stickers are also American crafts. All these items are available for sale at Two Peas in a Bucket.

I'm going to keep my post short today so I can go work on some other fun things including another Digital Doodles stamp. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Happy Wednesday!

Its mid-week and time for another crafty blog share. When I closed on Monday, I promised I would share my Valentine page with you. My darling husband had brought home roses and mini cupcakes last Friday evening and left me a little Valentine message in Sunday's paper. He's a real keeper! I took photos since my flowers and cupcakes will not last long and created this page.

Guess what? I posted this page on Two Peas in a Bucket yesterday and it was picked for the featured project of the day! Woot woot! There's nothing like seeing your work recognized! And it's so cool that all the wonderful things my honey did made this the special page it is!

My next share is a baby card I made last weekend.

I'm amazed at the number of cards I've made using just a few pieces of patterned paper from the Letterbox line by American Crafts. The adorable little clothesline accent on my card is from American Crafts' newest Dear Lizzy collection. I love it!

Now I'd like tos share a  book with you that I picked up on Monday called 'The Lovely Bones.' I read the first paragraph and was hooked.

The first paraghraph reads, "My name was Salmon; like the fish, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. In newspaper photos of missing girls from the seventies, most looked like me: white girls with mousy brown hair. This was before kids of all races and genders started appearing on milk cartons or in the daily mail. It was still back when people believed things like that didn't happen."

So that's a wrap for my Wednesday post! I've got a lot of crafting to do since a whole bunch of new digital kits came out at Two Peas in a Bucket yesterday and I'm going to make a lot of fun projects with them and will share them with you Friday! Probably some next Monday too!

There's no Business like Snow Business!

There sure is a lot of snow going around so I'll start today's blog post with some snowy themed scrapbook pages I created.

Here's my son waiting for dad to take the picture so he can push the sled! This design is based on a page from the amazingly talented Susan Weinroth. I was thrilled that these patterned papers and the card stock I used for my die cut snowflakes all came from my stash! Thrilled because that bucket is about to take over my office! Seriously, I should take a picture!

This next page was from the same day. Too much fun sledding and making a snowman!

I love that my son used those spiked seed pod things from our sweet gum tree for the eyes, nose and mouth! An all natural snowman complete with stick arms! All that remains of our snowy friend is one snowball on the lawn. :( But that's what pictures and pages are for, right? To keep memories and Mr. Snowman alive!

During these cold winter days, I've been able to do a lot of crafting. Not only keeping up on my scrapbooking, but making lots of cards as well. The new fun line I've been playing with is Letterbox from American Crafts. I just love the color palette of these papers and embellishments.

Once again I've relied on my Silhouette to make my card crafting creative! I cut the fancy green rectangle and the blue oval with it. Even though the letter stickers go perfectly with these Letterbox papers, they are not part of the line. They are actually from a very old SEI line called Paisley & Petals! Remember that?

This is the last craft project I'll show you today. Isn't this little bird darling? He's part of the Letterbox line. And you guessed it, another Silhouette die cut! Have I said how much I love my Silhouette? Yes, about two dozen times! ;)

Before I close today's post, I want to give a shout out to my friend Laura Davis and her amazing food blog called Delicious. Last night for dinner we had her clam chowder and it was sensational! Perfect for these bitter cold days!

I'm not a bad cook, but I'm not really that great a cook either. I tend to use a lot more convenience foods that are quick and easy. Lately, however, I've really wanted to spend a little more time and make things from scratch. Laura is helping to show me (us) that it isn't that difficult or time consuming. Thanks a million Laura! By the way, I stole Laura's photo because lighting was terrible at dinner last night.

What a long post! Thanks for dropping in today. Hope you've enjoyed my crafty shares. Now go visit Delicious and drool over the amazing recipes and photos!
