Bugaboo Boy

Wow what a long time I was MIA, I got a quick chance today (while the kids went into town) to finish a card that I started weeks ago. I had the image colored and ready to go but hadn't done anything with it. We are getting closer to them moving into our little guest house it should be any day now. I will then get the honor of going thru all my things and rearranging them since there will be no bed in the room anymore either. Yay! Except to the going thru the things part... :)I love to craft, I love things organized I just don't do so well on it. If I do get it to organized then I don't want to dirty it up by doing a card. Crazy I know it is like having a spotlessly clean kitchen, I don't want to cook in it. If only we had that option right?

Any way here is today's card, the stamp is a digital from Bugaboo stamps. Paper is from SU and the sentiment stamp is also SU. Have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by now and again to check up on me!

Bugaboo Digital

My post today is the Brat w/balloon digital from Bugaboo. They really have loads of darling images. I also used the cupcake trio from Meljen's Designs on the inside. I used my copic airbrush on the clouds, for a little different look.
How do you all keep track of your digitals? I have been printing them on copy paper and keeping each company I buy on a different page. I also am saving them all to a thumb drive for safety. (After all these can really add up after a little while. Hehe) I'd like to know other options that may work better so give me your input please!

I found some really nice stuff today at The Cutting Cafe. I haven't purchased any yet, but they have some backgrounds digital which I really haven't seen before now.

What type of image just really grabs you? I would love to know what makes you think "I just can't live without buying/checking out this". Mine is always Halloween items, anywhere I go whether your blog or a stamp company etc. I always check out the Halloween section if there is one.

So of course I purchased a Halloween stamp from here, already bought some rubber from Crafty Secrets too. I buy to many and forget what I have come Halloween then have to buy more of course! LOL The paper I used is from SU an older set that I had not cracked open until now and I am trying to get out of the comfort zone on the colors I am using with my copics. Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for dropping by!

Wee Suzy

I purchased this digital a few weeks ago from Wee Stamps and finally got around to playing with it, she is so much fun to color and isn't she adorable? She just has the sweetest look. The papers I used are from Walmart, I loved the softer colors and just had to pick them up. I swore to myself I would buy only 6 x 6's from now on but they don't sell them, and they didn't have any in the 8 1/2 x 11 size either. So with my left overs today I am going to make another one similar to this. I may use my new Bugaboo image for that one.

Here are some other shots of the card laying down.I took these shots on my back deck the top one was in a shaded area because the one I took in the sun had speckles on it. What is that from I wonder?

It looks like we are going to have a nice day here today, for a change... We had frost here last night. I am happy to see some sun but more thankful that we are not having problems that many other areas are experiencing with flooding, tornadoes, mud slides etc.. My heart goes out to all that are experiencing these.

Thanks so much for stopping by and let me know I would love to come by your blog and leave a comment!

Another Sunflower for the Queen for the Day at SCS

Another sunflower card that I cased for the Queen for the Day Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. The Queen this week is Lois Bak, Lois is so good about taking the time to comment on so many cards. She is a true jewel! Anyway this is the card that I chose to case. I changed the Sunflower to one I already own (and if you check in alot just used a few days ago) changed the corner stamp to the words bloom different dp and ribbon but same basic layout overall. This is the first QFTD challenge I have done since returning to the stamping world and hope to do many many more.
Copics used were YR07, YR04, Y19,YG25,G24, E25, E33 and to outline B21.

Thanks so much for dropping by and I would love to stop by and see your blog also!

High Hopes

Is there any thing better than a Day off in the Spring? Okay maybe some of you are saying ...yes, but my guess is most of you are saying NO. I just love spring , today I had a day off and cleaned the house! My hubby will be shocked when he comes home... I was even happier when I checked my mail and found that my High Hopes stamps came in. I have been waiting for them because well *sigh* I am a High Hopes Virgin, until today. I called Tina at HH Friday concerned that I hadn't gotten them, she was so very sweet and pleasant to chat with. Did you know you can make ornaments with stamps, she was telling me about these and she has some on her SCS gallery. Her SCS name is Pickled-Tink. Anyway she assured me they should be in within a few days. I'm not a very patient person. I love these stamps though and they were worth the small wait. So here is a sampling of my first HH Card. I don't know what to add in that empty space on the top left, it was worse with out the doodling. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Hope you all like it.
