Thursday

 Lets get started! I wasn't sure what to show first, but as you could guess, I love Tim Holtz colorize dies. This time we have Arthur the owl, and Rupert the dragon. Once I start with these I have a hard time putting them away. Like the flower dies.... Just one more cut.... Oh did I ever mention that I have had my Gemini for 5 1/2 years now and it is still awesome!!

                    And now Mr. Rupert! Need more cards or tags!

                             

 The background is a Tim Holtz die too. It is really versatile.

                         That is all for today.

                                         Thanks for looking!

 Hi to everyone!  Lucy says 'Hi' this morning . She is a happy girl.

    One more thing  'off subject' food. Yes food, I tried a recipe from Half Baked Harvest. I have made her popovers and other 'yummies' that I can't think of right now.  I made the Antipasto mozarella sandwich and it was good, and filling,            HBH link https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/antipasto-mozzarella-sandwich-with-lemony-basil-pesto/  Here are my pictures!

This while making it .. getting ready to wrap it and let the flavors  play together. Check out the roasted red peppers & the cheeeese.yum

Sliced and ready to eat! Look at those lusious layers , procuitto, salami, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes.... the 2 cheeses & arugula.

 I really used this to feature the foody of the week, so we will move right along to  sharing some cards on the next post! 

                                  Thanks for looking!

Monday

 Yesterday I planned to share some miscellaneous cards and posted the Eclectic Flower die instead. So this morning I will play catch up with my camera stick!!

 This is the Center stage die from Paper trey ink (ink to paper). 

an old wooden stamp... maybe Art Impressions. Looks plain, but really pretty.

Another one of these... The paper is a 6x6 pad of paper. This one is in shades of green, there is a red, purple, teal (my favorite) and more. They are 100# cs and come from Memory Box. The flowers on one of the previous posts were cut from the teal scraps! 

                              This features a Sizzix winter die. Frame comes with tiny poinsettia, tiny pinecone & extra foliage. I used the magnolia flowers from Miss ink. Again bad jell pen, bad shading. Pretty stamps. Just me this time.

These are border dies from Creative Expressions from a couple years ago. I did another post at that time, and I like them better than what I did last week. Go figure! Kudo to me for using old dies!!

                             Not sure if I posted these. Creative Expressions.

                 This that is about all for today, thank you for looking!

    Remember those who gave it all for their country.

Sunday May 30th.

 Happy Memorial day! Let us not forget those who sacrificed for us. Yesterday I tried to share a few miscellaneous cards that I finally had time to photograph. So, lets just get started.

Both dies sets are from Concord & 9th. The card above features the Eclectic garden flower die. The set includes the 2 layered hummingbirds. Beautiful! In the card above I used the banner builder. Yep, I lost it & have spent HOURS trying to find it! Trust me, everyone needs one. I might have to order another.

                       Thinking you words, and flower frame can be used separately, but it is so easy and makes a quick lovely card!

        The eclectic garden easily placed  on a geometric background.

                                            Aren't these hummingbirds precious? This is about it for today. Have a nice weekend.

                                    Thanks for looking!

 Hi to everyone! Not quite 100 degrees today, 93 now, 97 later... Ok, it will probably be a hot summer here! Seems to be starting early this year. Today I have pictures or some assorted cards. Lets get started!!

You really didn't need six pic's of the same card, but there is a lot of stuff on one card. The basic flowers are called 'friendship blooms'. Love the words & leaves in the set. The oval & flowers are from Pinkfresh studio. The paper is heartfelt creations... it is older and I am not sure of the name, but it matched the flowers.

 Same flower stamp & die set from Pinkfresh studio. The stencil background is from Pinkfresh studio too. There are layered stencils for the stamps. Used copics on this blue card & watercolor on the embossed card above.

           Was going to share a couple more, but can't get anything to load, so, maybe tomorrow!

                                 Thanks for looking !

Friday May 21

 Good Morning! Here are a couple 'cutie' cards for you to see. Love this set. I think it is Heffy doodle, although I do repackage my dies. Sometimes I keep it, and sometimes I don't. Again, I think the mushrooms and some foliage came with the slim line die. The 'birdies' are Garden friends & Garden party from Hello Bluebird stamps.

      Below is a die cut made with the simon says 'thanks, smile, hello,hi, and Love you. Words come out as letters and the 'hello, hi' is a stencil type. All in all it leaves this frame opening. Bibi Cameron does a great design.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V679ZrZnPBI

         So I didn't wait for the Spring birds from Simon Says.... I just went ahead and did this with my little critters! Changed the dimension just a bit too. I did the overall measurement 4 3/4 x 6 3/4. It allowed more on the side and bottom frame. But it isn't a mini slimline.

                    That is it for today! I am off to another  Paper Bunny garage sale! Yeah!
                                       Thanks for looking !

Tuesday

Late again! I promise this won't be so 'wordy'. Just want to show you what I came up with using the Spellbinders Simply Perfect Layered Booms die set. For the square card below, I used another Spellbinders wreath die. It just says 'wreath' on the package. Comes with some cute teeny flowers. I will use them next time!

 

 

 

 

                          For some reason I can't change the size on these last three cards. The flowers are soo versatile and pretty! Love how easy they are and how different they can look. Sometimes just the color!
