Achieve Your Dreams ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all had a beautiful week!

Well, it seems our weather has warmed up a lot here and our trees are already flowering, our rose bushes are sprouting new leaves ... isn't that crazy?  I feel like we didn't even really have a Winter. hmmmm ....

Anyway, a couple weeks ago, I made this card.  The charm was given to me by a lovely friend and I used rusting powder on it given to me by another lovely friend.  I'm a lucky girl!  :)

Well, thank you so very much for visiting me .. I truly appreciate it!  Wishing you a gorgeous day and hope to see you again soon!

Hugs,

Enjoy Every Day ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you are all doing very well!

A couple weeks ago I made a card using some Maja Designs paper that a dear friend gave to me years ago .. it's about time I found the courage to use them right?!  haha!  I added some metal butterflies covered with paint and glitter that sparkles in person.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me .. I really do appreciate it!

Wishing you a beautiful day and hope to see you again soon!

Birthday Wishes ...

Hello there!  I hope you are all doing well and gearing up for another fun filled weekend!

A special friend of mine is celebrating her Birthday and so I made her a tea card along with a flower filled cupcake.  I really did have so much fun making this for her!  She's already received it ... so I can now post it.  :)

 Thank you so very much for stopping by to visit me .. I truly do appreciate it!  Wishing you a most wonderful day and hope to see you again soon!

Hummingbirds ...

Hello there!  I hope you all have been having beautiful days and enjoying the longer hours.

I made a card using some Graphic 45 papers .. and these hummingbirds reminded me of when they come around in our yard.  Our dog Max normally barks at the bigger birds .. but for some odd reason doesn't bark at the smaller ones.  And there was one time when a hummingbird flew so close to Max's face and just hovered staring at him.  It was the funniest thing as they both stared at one another .. I think both trying to figure out what they were.  :)  Wish I'd had a camera in hand as it lasted quite a bit of seconds.

Thank you so very much for visiting me and I hope you are all doing very well!  See you again soon!

Hugs,

Know in Your Heart That You are Loved ...

Hello there!  I know it's a bit late .. but HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!

Did you all have a nice New Years celebration?  Hope you did!  My family flew into town .. so it was nice to spend it together.  ;)  Of course Bodhi had the time of his life ... as always!  hehe!

I made this card a few weeks ago .. trying to get ready for the upcoming new season of Spring.

Thank you so very much for visiting me and I wish you all a most wonderful day!  Hope to see you again soon!

Christmas Shakers ...

Hey Ya's!  Big day coming up!  Are you ready?!

I really did have a lot of fun making Christmas cards this year.  These were all shaker cards except the one in front with the flowers .. I know she enjoys flowers a lot.  ;)  I used a lovely stamp given to me from a special friend on the shaker cards with the multicolored background which I applied white embossing powder.  

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me in such a busy time of the year .. I truly do appreciate it!  Wishing you all a very safe and beautiful week .. and hope to see you again before The Big Day!  ;)

Well, I made this shaker treat box card using some darling Lili of the Valley images .. I guess you were all right .. these shaker boxes ARE addicting!  lol!  

I used a variety of colouring mediums such as Distress Inks, Prisma pencils and Watercolors.

Time seems to be going faster and faster .. before you know it .. a new year will be here!
