Hello!!!
Ella, one of Lori Boyd's sweet Lollipop digi images, has dropped by today to wish you all a
Happy Spring!


Spring is creeping up on us, slowly, but surely, isn't it?
Our snow is gone, for good, hopefully, and the sun is shining...life is good!
(The older I get, the less it takes to make me happy!)


Ella is colored with Copic Markers. All CS is Bazzill Basics, and Nesties were used for die cutting. The pearls are Kaiser Crafts, the border stamp is The Angel Company, and the sentiment is Inkadinkado.

Brown...

Hello!

It is rainy and dreary here in Missouri. I left my grout work in the kitchen long enough to come out and make a card! Hope you are finding some crafting time as well.

The card above was created for The Pink Elephant Challenge. This week's challenge is a color challenge: Brown.

I think this beautiful Cloud 9 Designs DP from my 'stash' works beautifully!

The challenge at Stampin B's Design Team #67 is to: Make your sentiment the focal point. Stamps are also Cloud 9 Designs.

Hope you like it!

Back to my kitchen so I can reward myself later with a bit of crafting and blurfing!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Too much fun!

So...I am having some glass panes made by a stained glass WIZARD from Love That Glass in a neighboring town.

Nancy is wonderful, and as I was leaving, she gave me some packing material that comes between the glass pieces, thinking I could create something with them.

Both of my cards today showcase this material on the background. One is Kraft colored and one is white colored. They were SO much fun to play with! Let me show you what I did with them!

This first card uses the white background. The image is Penny Black (thanks Chris!!!), and the sentiment is Skipping Stones.

I will enter this birthday card here:

The Pink Elephant: Challenge #69 - Gotta Wear Shades (Bright, Fun Colors)

Party Time Tuesdays: Challenge #1 - Anything Goes Birthday

Iris' Challenge - Flowers

The next card features the Kraft colored packing material on the background.

The bird print is from My Mind's Eye, and the sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms (thanks Kristie!!!). (The green mesh ribbon at the top is also from Kristie's blog candy)

I will enter this card here:
