Sunday

Happy Sunday! Two cards to share today. Yes, the Hummingbird stamps and dies are from Pink fresh studio. The background die is a whole other post!




     I  really thought I did more than two  of these! Can/t find the photograph this morning so I will leave you with these lovely cards!
                                Thanks for looking!

Friday March 27th

Another day, more from Pinkfresh Studio!! Wait till you see the March 2020 release, wow, I just want them all!
The collection today are the Diagonal stripe and diagonal stripe with window frame dies. Both are cover dies. A lot of the demos featured a Christmas theme... Yes, would be easy to do ahead.
         The one below and (all on the plate) are the fancy diagonal stripe die with the window. I used 2 colors. The white  on the under side is actually turned upside down. Both pieces are glued together, then tiny pieces of foam mounting on the back. Pretty much all of the lines on the back. Finally attached to white base.
     The candy canes and bow are an old Spellbinders die. Notice one on the canes is positioned goofy!
              The alphabet below is the Concord & 9th Double Cut Set. It is alittle smaller than the Pinkfresh Adore alphabet. I think it is double cut too.
        My favorite, the Kelly alphabet upper & lower case set. Just bigger, you will see later when I post the banner. They work perfectly for that.



                        Had to do ONE shaker card. Its a window!!
              I don't know if I 'used' the fancy stripe die without the window. I think all of these may have the window!!
                                                    

                                                            Thanks for looking today,
                                           Be safe & healthy

Wednesday Mar 24th

Where does the time go! Sorry, but I always lament! Dawn came the first week of March. I am not sure I mentioned that, but we had a great time crafting, eating, crafting, and visiting! The corona-virus was just starting at that time, so we did get to go out to eat, and shop. Here are a couple pictures.

Then, as we all know the corona virus has taken priority over our lives for now.  Maybe more so for Dawn as she is a nurse. She is back to work now. Keep her, her family, and her team in your prayers.  

I didn't forget about the Pink Fresh Studio theme for this month. I do love the designs and versatility of their stamp, dies and papers. 
Tonight I just want to show two cards I did with the Banner die. It does come in 2 sizes with a center and side 'floret' die. So Pretty.
I made a MERRY CHRISTMAS banner that I won't photograph until I get the ribbon to go through it! It is burgandy, gold and white. Can't wait to show you. For now the next are the cards made with that die set. 


           Couldn't help showing 2 each! They are sweet. The wreath is an  older Memory box stamp.
                                              Thanks for looking!

This time I really will share some cards . Just a few. This is the Pink Fresh Studio Floral Vase stamp and die set. 

                 The Floral vase flowers are paired with the Designer frame #1. The one below is framed with the Braided Oval.

                   Used the vase with the flowers. I used the new diagonal  stripe die with this one.           

                        Really thought I did a watercolor with
      this stamp. For now I can not find it anywhere!! Maybe I will 
      go make another. This is a lovely set.
                                      

                          Thanks for  looking today & stay safe!

Woo Hoo, we are all okay and making cards! At this time we all are thinking about things we never thought of before. I actually wondered what would happen to all my cards if something happened at our home? Better to just keep on crafting and counting our blessings. I will never get done with 'stuff', ever! Blessed with toilet paper, coffee, and crafting supplies. We didn't even have to hoard this stuff either.....Oh, dog food is was out at Walmart yesterday.

                  Meat is gone too.....Why? Maybe some will share.
              You can buy toys!! Customers were in the tp aisle, they were in the store, just not the toys.

                                              Wow is about all I can say!

Monday March 9th

Another beautiful morning! More to share with you  from the Pink Fresh Studio stamps and die sets.  The first card features the beautiful Inverted circle die. The card is filled with the Lovely Blossom flowers stamp & die set which I have shown previously.
                           There are some 'shaker' bits inside!
                             
          I  used the new Pink Fresh Inks for the colors on the flowers. Especially like the little cubes of color!!
                                
                               Thanks for looking today!

Sunday in March!

Hope everyone remembered to turn their clocks back this morning. I once got to church 'after' church. Didn't pay attention. That was a long time ago!
Beautiful morning with just a few lovely cards... Well, I hope you like them. I saw the idea online. https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/blogs/pinkfresh-studio/leafy-branch-card-duo-angelica-conrad


                                             

I Plan to do more of these.  You will find the Leafy Branch on a lot more cards. Such a versatile die!
  Thanks for looking!

PinkFresh March!

Pinkfresh March??  That statement doesn't make sense, but it will, I promise. I don't know the people that own Pinkfresh Studio, I just know I love their designs!! I have a bunch of stamps and dies and this month I would like to feature some beautiful ideas all month long! This is the Leafy Envelope die! In this red accented one I use the Leafy Envelope with the Lovely Blossom stamp and die set  You will see this set often!

         This one has one extra 'leafy branch'. The brown tones are just designer papers and extra foliage.

                         And of course, one with a 'holiday' theme.                  
                                      Thanks for looking!!

Happy March! Greetings from Lucy Lou. It was 5;30am when I took these pictures. I know they are not beautiful pictures, but they are Lucy! She gets up wanting to play. The killer is she wants 'us' to play. Notice the green tug first.

          She is a crazy busy dog, so pics were blurry. Shake reduction in photoshop works pretty well! We are now into the second toy, the blue ball.  It is only 6:02.
                  Just one more! She graduated to chewing on her blankie. 

                                
          Now she is just relaxing and looking out the window!
                                 


                                      It is 6:45 AM! Lucy Lou !
