Who doesn't love ice cream?

I have an addiction.  Unfortunately there isn't a 12-step program to help mine.  And it seems like everywhere I turn - there it is.....I confessing today:  I'm addicted to ice cream!  I can't even have it in the house - if I do, I'll even eat it for breakfast.  Hey, it's dairy right?  LOL!!!  Since Pattie's Creations Design Challenge theme is Anything Goes I decided to use "Ice Cream Trio".  What's better than once ice cream cone?  THREE!  LOL!!! 

Come on over and join us at Pattie's Creation Design Challenge.  Remember the only rule is that you must use an image on your project.

Thanks for stopping by today.  God bless you!!!

Lifted Up

Today is the first day of Spring!  I love this time of year!!!  It's when flowers start blooming, trees start budding...everything is fresh and renewed!!  It gives us hope that the cold is done for a while.  To celebrate the first day of Spring I'm share a card using Deedee's Digis "Lifted Up". Deedee's Digis are WONDERFUL!  Each set has sentiments and the images always have the colored and uncolored versions.  Can't ask for more than that!!!  Plus if you use the Stamp of the Month in the monthly challenge, you get the next months set FREE!!!  I don't have a color printer so I always use the black & white version.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• 7 Kids College Fund - Anything Goes w/ Die Cut
• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
• Sweet Stamps - Anything Goes

God bless you!!!!  Thanks for stopping by today.

Digistamps4Joy - Vintage Challenge

What does "vintage" mean to you?  Is it a style?  Or is it just something that you've had for a long time?  Is it something old?  Something new that looks like it's been around for years?  When I think of the word "vintage" the first thing that comes to my mind is cars!  I love those old cars!!!  When my hubby and I go to car shows he usually likes the muscle cars from the 60's and 70's.  But my heart goes to those earlier cars.....20's, 30's, 40's.  There is just something about them that I think is so cool! 

The new challenge at Digistamps4Joy is Vintage.  I knew as soon as I saw the theme - I wanted to use one of the newer images called "Dad's Austin".  I also knew that I didn't want to color it because I loved it just the way it was....sometimes when something is so perfect you just have to leave it alone and let it speak for itself.  I decided to go black & white with this card too...and of course turn it into a Birthday card because it seems like I never have enough Birthday cards.

I want to see what you think of when you hear the word "vintage" so come on over to Digistamps4Joy and share with us.  Remember that you can't win if you don't play!

Seeing rainbows - Eureka Stamps

"Rain Showers and Rainbows" - that's the theme this week at Eureka Stamps!  Isn't that a great theme for Spring?  Yes, just in case you didn't know - Spring arrives this week...YEAH!!!!!

For my card I used digi19401 - Not A Day.  I knew I wanted to use that sentiment but I didn't know how to turn that into a rainbow.  While I was sitting at my craft table trying to figure out what to do - I looked over and saw my chalks sitting there.  WOW, they just don't get much use anymore but they would make such a pretty blend of colors.  So I kept the sentiment the focus and made a rainbow background.

 

Show us your interpretation of "Rain Showers & Rainbows" this week at Eureka Stamps!

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
•  My Creative Moments Word Play - Anything
• The Craft Garden - Pastel Colors
