4x4 buggy cards…

 

Helllloooooo out there…yes I am still here !! And much improved by the increase in the daylight hours and some sunshine. We even opened the windows on Sunday (I am pretty sure it is bad grammar to start a sentence with the word ‘and’ though). 

I made this set of 4 cards the other day just because I really wanted to color these awesome images. The bugs are Inkadinkadoo (I think) and the sentiment is a SSD stamp. Cardstock is CTMH and the ink is Versafine. I colored the images with Sakura glitter pens and IRL they are sooo sparkly…like jewels. I have to say a lot of my inspiration lately has definitely come from Kelley’s AWESOME cards on her blog My Front Porch….wow but she takes simple and just blows me away.

On a completely unrelated note , some movies I have watched lately and enjoyed…Julie and Julia, Star trek, Angels and Demons (but if you read the book…they chopped a LOT of the story). My kiddos thoroughly enjoyed Bolt, Up, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (requested that one twice even the teenager)….Gotta love Netflix

Well I hope you are all enjoying the longer days and warmer (if wetter) weather.

Enjoy!

Unscripted Sketches #46

Hello and welcome to another Unscripted Sketches Sketch challenge! I hope you will join us this week and try out this sketch. Twist it, turn it, flip it, use it as your launching point and CREATE!!! My card uses all CTMH product except for some spritzes of glimmer mist to make the flowers sparkle….which you can’t see clearly in the photo. I hope you take time out this week and try our sketch!

I just want to say that I am sorry I haven’t made the rounds on blogging the last couple of days but life has made itself known to me and demanded my attention. I hope to check things out soon.

Enjoy….

U ROCK…

In real life…this is sooo sparkley and bright! It was a fun one to make. All product is CTMH except I cut out some different sized stars with my Sizzix. The letters and stars are glittered with LG and prisma glitter or stickles. The letters are popped up on foam tape. I am not going to admit how many times I rearranged the letters and stars on this card…suffice it to say…too many times LOL.

Hope you are all keeping well…our snow is melting here fast..YAY!

Enjoy!

Unscripted Sketches # 45

Another Saturday and that means another fun sketch from Unscripted Sketches…. Nice and simple this sketch so I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I actually didn’t deviate from the sketch this week! 

All supplies except the kraft cs is CTMH. I finally had a go at one of those cute flowers…better late than never!

Have a glorious Saturday and enjoy your weekend….spring is coming!

Smile…..

Smile….it’s nearly spring!!!! Does this remind you of the feel of the warm spring sun on your face and the beuatiful flowers that it coaxes out of the earth?…Well that was my inspiration with this card. The sun is shining, the temps climbed above freezing and I finally see some patches of grass under the several feet of snow that have blanketed Iowa since December.  For this card I used some kraft CS, some K & CO DP, PTI stamp set, K & CO  flower embellies, CTMH CS, Ink, buttons, waxy flax and ribbon.

Thanks again for all the encouraging words, thoughts and prayers sent my way…although I am not back to normal I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have very little energy and am  not right..but my cough seems to be lessening.  I am SO ready for spring and fresh air :0)

Hope you all have a marvelous Thursday…yay tomorrow is FRIDAY!

Enjoy!
