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!

Wee Stamps Birds on a Swing

Hello, so sorry I haven't posted in a little while, I had company come and spend a few days with us. Our Son and his girlfriend are moving to our little town! We are so excited to have at least one child very close to us. Eric got a job offer and will be here on Thursday this week to start. He will be staying in my craft room for a while however... I am not sure how it will work but I am hoping it will still give me a chance to craft when he is at work at least. Anyway this card was so fun to make, I coordinated the envelope, bookmark, card and the inside of the card all with matching digi's from Wee Stamps. This little stamp was so cute, I had to buy it! Of course while you are there you don't buy just one you silly... I bought only 2, which is pretty good for me.

These little bookmarks are very quick and easy to make, I wanted to give my recipient a little something extra.

So here is the finished card, just a simple little card. I did however just get my Elegant Edges cartridge for my Cricut and I used it to cut both the card front and the bookmark front (image area) and also got to play with my new copic airbrush! (I didn't use it on the bookmark and you can tell!) This was a fun little tool to use, if you have one of the Stampin' Up type you would love this one. You won't have one arm with a lot more muscle than the other. LOL Maybe mine just doesn't work as good but I really have to put out to get a little spray on my page. Anyway I have had a great week at the Post Office :) I love getting new items, I am still waiting to receive my first set of Magnolia's from the Club. I don't know when they will come but I am hoping the summer ones will be soon.

I don't usually finish the envelope as I did this one, but it really gives it a nice polished look don't you think? Copics do bleed on the envelope but it wasn't to bad. I put a piece of paper in the envie while coloring so not to bleed thru to the other side. I hope you all have a fantastic week and I hope to get a few more items done soon.
