Color Inspiration #6

This card is for Kristina Werner's color inspiration # 6. I used CTMH's Victorian Snowflake, funny, I'm so happy the snow is gone (actually we saw some today) I was looking for a stamp similar to the pattern in the challenge.

Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa

I want summer to come so bad!!!!



Ok, I've been working really hard this week helping someone out at work. I just realized how tired I am. I forgot the close to cocoa. I think I will ad a brad. Whew, problem solved.

Here's what went on in the yard tonight after supper. It's like 76 outside, sun is hot, and we still have snow to play with.

Thank You



I had to send a thank you card to another CTMH'r. I did Ceecee's challenge yesterday and while I was checking out the other entrants I really loved this idea. So I changed flowers for bugs!!!

Do Ya Think I'm Spoiled!?!?!!?!?!?





My parents went to Florida for 2 weeks. Mom hit all the stores. Look what she brought back for me!!! I'm very spoiled.


There is a man up the road that runs the local outdoor skating rink. He also makes it his business to snowblow the drive ways of the elderly people in the neighborhood. This year he did both ladies on my street and were we ever thrilled, cause we usually do it. Well yesterday his pride and joy passed away, his dog Bally. While I was checking out the other color design challenges on Kristina Werners Blog, I came across this design and Loved it. My daughter helped pick the colors and the family went to deliver it together. His family was very touched.

So I was about to turn in and decided to check out one of my favorite blogs. Saw Kristina's challenge and decided to use CTMH's "Endless Love" stamp set. It's late and the light is bad, I'll take better photo's in the AM.

I feel in love with this stamp set and had to make this card for a very special little boy. I always call him a little monkey. I'll let you know if he likes it.


Just playing around......


I used some googly eyes and some copic markers.

It took awhile, but I actually got this page done while I was sick. I used a little of everything. I really liked the paper from "Little Yellow Bicycle". They have great chip board and stickers too. It's very "Boy", which in our neck of the woods is hard to come by.

Spring is Trying to Get Here!!

Man I have been SICK. I was so sick of being sick, that on Saturday, even though it was cold outside. The sun was out. So I took some pics of the tulips trying come up, even thought there is snow EVERYWHERE!





This is the snow right in front of the tulip garden!!!!!


This is the compost bin, which a week ago, was buried under the snow. My son has the job of digging it out.
