Easter Bunny Card

Hello everyone, hope your having a wonderful day today. It's wonderful seeing the flowers starting to come out here in NE Ohio. My daffodils are up and will soon be in full blossom, yippee, (big smile)! I am so looking forward to seeing all the beautiful flowers, as I am sure most of you are too. It's been a long winter, way too long LOL.

Today I have an Easter card I want to share with you.

The stamps I used are from Close to my heart,Penny Black and Pressum. I used my new Martha Stewart punch and I love it! I also used the Creative Memories corner rounder. My hot pink ribbon is from Walmart. Oh do I love using satin ribbons and my bowmaker. The Cardstock is Stampin Up and the designer paper is from DCWV "Sweet". Memento black ink was used and copic markers as were Spica pens. I also used a small amount of flower soft for the center of the daisy flowers. Well that's it for now! Hopefully I will have more soon, if all works out LOL.

Blest with a wonderful pet

Today I am sharing a card I made for a friend a while ago, but it is in honor of my pet Max, who we had to put down two days ago, that I am sharing it now. He was a very funny,tenacious little fellow that came to us from a rescue group at the age of about 3 yrs old, he was 11 yrs old now. He had been abused and came with issues, but with alot of love he came around nicely. We
will miss him terribly but we know he is no longer in so much pain.

 His picture is below on Thursday March 11th's posting ,he is the little guy curled up in the bed

Good bye my Mr. Max,

you were well loved and we will miss you terribly!

Love

Lana

Vintage Lady

Hi everyone, It sure has been hectic around here lately. My back problems have resurfaced again as well as my MIL is in the hospital. She is 94 yrs old and is having a very difficult time with her lungs, but hopefully with the Lord's help, she will be back up and helping out at the nursing home soon,

something she loves to do.

 Here is a card I did today, in between laundry loads.

 I love doing vintage cards! This beautiful lady image is from Art freebies, you should go there and see all the wonderful art work and its free! The CS and word stamp are from SU. I used the Earthy designer paper from Crafty Secrets. The lace is from JoAnn's sale bin. I also used Tim Holtz distress inks, which I adore using. My embellishments are a bracelet from the dollar store that I took apart and sewed on. So that is it for today. I hope you liked it and that you will come back soon.

My Pets

I thought today since I do not have a new card done for you, that I would take a minute and introduce you to the pet members of my family.The littlest one is Max, he is getting up there in age poor guy, and is a bit cranky at times. But aren't we all LOL. The bigger one is Brodie, he is such a sweet young dog. The little one barely tolerates the big one trying to snuggle LOL. But they get along really well dispite their age and size.

 So that is just a small glimpse into part of my family.

I went to Darlene's for a play date today. I had lots of fun with her and Terri, those two are a hoot when they get to teasing LOL. Thanks Darlene and Terri for all the laughs I had a great time! Hopefully tomorrow I will have a card for you. 

Hope you come back and visit again!

Midnight Madness Sketch Callenge # 44

 Hello everyone!

 I have been busy trying to get some sewing projects done, that I keep putting off, that's why I have not been posting much lately. Sewing is not something I truly enjoy any more, but, sometimes I just have to do some LOL. Well enough of that, on to my MMSC # 44 challenge card. My camera didn't take the truest of colors for some reason, the ribbon looks blue when it perfectly matches the flower, not sure why.

I used Stampin Up's, Orchid Opulence C.S. and their brads. The designer paper is DCWV, "sweet".

My ribbon is from Walmart. I just love using satin ribbon! The flowers are from Hobby Lobby, and the punch is a MS punch. This adorable bunny stamp is "Bonnet Bunny", from Penny Black. I think she is just so sweet. I used memento black ink then colored her using my Copic markers. I also used a gelly roll pen on the little butterflies. So there you have my MMSC #44 card.

Hope she has brought a smile to your face.

Until next time, may God richly bless you!

Midnight Madness Sketch Callenge # 43

Finally we are having lots of sunshine!!!!!!!!!!! Still on the cool side here in NE Ohio but at least we have sunshine! It seems like it has been a very long winter for some reason. So I am very thankful to see the glorious sunshine today! I hope where you live, that your having the same wonderful weather.

Now on to my MMSC #43  challenge card

I made this card using SU cardstock and designer paper. The ribbon is from Walmart. I colored with my Copic markers and used crystal effects on all the ladybugs, which is hard to see in the pictures. The Happy Birthday stamp is also SU. The ladybug stamps are all from differnt places and I have no idea who makes them, sorry. I cut out and used pop dots on all the ladybugs to make a 3-D effect. Twas a tough challenge for me this time but still lots of fun. I hope you will join in at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, it sure does get you out of your comfort zone and stretch your creativity!! I am having so much fun particitating in their challenges, you should give it a try.

Till the next time, enjoy God's beauty all around you!

"Snowy" the Snowman

Hello everyone, not sure if it's cold where you live, but here in N.E. Ohio it is still cold with lots of snow on the ground. So I thought I would share this sweet little snowman card I made, maybe he will warm your heart!

This cute little snowman, is a Penny Black stamp called "Snowy". I fell in love with him the first time I saw him at Archiver's. The ribbon, cardstock and markers that I used are from SU. The cool word stamp is, Wordsworth, from Rubber Soul. I found it at the "Stamp Pad" in Zoar, a GREAT Stamping store to shop at! The snowflake punch, I can not find a name on it and I do not remember where I got it, its been so long ago. I stamped the image on glossy cardstock and sponged the edges with pods. I have made this same card before as a postcard and it really worked great and saved on postage too. Well I hope this little guy warmed your heart, as he has mine. Hope you come back again for another visit.
