Everything is Coming Up Dasies!

One of my favorite flowers is a Daisy.  It's so simple and yet elegant with those fragile white petals and that bright yellow center.  This week at Eureka Stamps we are celebrating Spring with the theme "Spring Flowers".  Of course I had to use Digi14703(539) – Daisy Swirl and Digi14504(147) – Coming up Daisies. Yes, I know that Daisies are more Summer flowers rather than Spring....but I just love Daisies so much!

 
This is my last post as part of the Eureka Design Team.  I've so enjoyed being part of the Eureka team!  It makes me sad to leave this talented group of ladies, but I decided to step down because I just didn't have the time to dedicate to team as I wanted.  I will certainly be back to participate!!!!!

Come on over and show us your Spring flowers....I'd love to see the whole Eureka blog full of Flowerly Springtime!

Sentimental Sunday - Add a Doodle

Today is the last Sunday of March....and that means it's the last Sunday that I'm a Guest Designer at Sentimental Sundays.  It's been so much fun - what a talented group they are and what fun challenges!  I certainly will be back to participate!!!  I hope you join me too.

This week the theme is "Add A Doodle" and the sponsor is Scribbles Designs.  There are some FABULOUS doodle designs!!!  When I think "doodle" I think freehand, sort of messy in a good way....and what lends itself to that style?  Watercolors!  So I broke out the watercolor pencils!!!

I loved the flowers because I want spring to arrive so badly...yes, I woke up to 2 1/2 inches of snow this morning!  UGH!!!  So if it's not feeling like Spring outside, at least it can feel like Spring on this blog so flowers it is!  LOL!!

Come on over to Sentimental Sundays this week and show us some Doodling! Have a very blessed day!!!

Deedee's Digis - Hello Spring

I love Spring!  The flowers start to bloom, the birds are singing, everything is new and fresh, and it starts getting warmer!  I'm celebrating Spring with Deedee's Digis "Hello Spring" set.  I fell in love with Deedee's Digis and somehow I've made it onto Deedee's Digis Design Team!  YEAH!!!!

I used the little bird in her nest for my card.  Recently I've rediscovered my chalks....it's always fun to go back to something that just isn't used in the stash anymore and find that there is still a love there for it!  After I colored the image, I went over the whole thing with a very pale blue chalk - I love how it turned out!  You can't see it very well but it's really pretty in real life.  LOL!

So there you have it - a little Bluebird of Happiness! 

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
• Stampin' for the Weekend - Spring Colors

Kitty Bee Designs - Aloha Friday - Play Pretend

It's time for another Aloha Friday challenge and this go around our theme is "Play Pretend".  What does that mean?  Show someone in a costume or doing some job or hobby.  Our sponsor for this challenge is 2 Cute Ink and, true to the company name, there are some really cute images!!!

Besides making cards, I also like to crochet (although I don't do it enough and am planning to get back to that this this year).  You already know I love kitties - so when I saw the image "Cat Knit" with yarn and needles - well, that was a no-brainer for me!  LOL!!!  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and then added a big chip board embellishment I have had for a very long time.  I love to dig deep in the stash and use something that has been there forever.

Come on over to our Aloha Friday challenge and pretend with us!!  Thanks for stopping by today.  God bless you!!!

Uneggspected!

What's in the middle of an egg?  Hmm, sounds like the age old question "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop"?  The center of my egg:

A kitty of course!!!  This month at Deedee's Digi's the featured set is "Uneggspected".  The whole set is absolutely wonderful but of course, I fell in love with the kitty.  I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and then just used some paper scraps I had along with some buttons and a ribbon.  Don't forget that if you participate in Deedee's Digi's monthly challenge you will get next months featured set FREE.  And believe me - you won't want to miss it!!!  It's DARLING!!!!

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• My Craft Spot - Anything Goes

•  Come And Get It Challenge - Easter/Spring

A Very Cool Cat

I love cats.  I'm sure you've noticed that if you have followed my blog for any amount of time.  Eureka Stamps has some great kitty images and this week I was able to use Digi23902 – Cool Cat with Shades and Digi23901 – Being Cool.  Our theme at Eureka this week is "No Square Cards".  Ah, I'm so bad at shaped cards.  But I had this circle base already form a kit and decided to embrace the circle!  After embossing the base, I just added a ribbon and cut the image our with Nesties.....instant card!

Come on over to Eureka Stamps and join the fun with us this week!

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

Flowery Springtime!

Spring has arrived!!!  Ok, well, somewhere it has....here in Ohio it was snowing again this morning.  UGH!  But at least what was on the ground before church this morning has already melted off and the sun is out again. 

This week at Sentimental Sundays the theme is "Flower Springtime!".  I'm honored to be a Guest Designer for the month of March and have enjoyed playing along with this great bunch of creative designers!!!  This week is a double blessing though because not only do I get to be the Guest Designer for Sentimental Sundays....but the sponsor of this challenge is Deedee's Digi's and I always love showing Deedee's Digi's (since I'm on the design team there).  I chose to use "Cup of Joy" which is a wonderful set for Spring!  My Aunt used to grow the prettiest African Violets and my cousin has carried on that tradition - I believe she even has won at shows!  When I saw this set - I immediately thought of that and knew the flowers just had to be purple. 

Hop on over to Sentimental Sundays and show us your lovely spring flower projects!! 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• Hiding in My Craft Room - Let's Get Digital
• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

God bless you!!!  Have a beautiful day and enjoy all the great gifts that God has given to you!!!!  Thank you so much for spending a few moments of your day with me.
