Hedgehog

Good Monday morning!!  Todays card is one that will be in an upcoming Copic workshop I am teaching.

Nice and springy colors and design. Hope you all had a chance to get outside over the weekend and enjoy some of the nice weather we had. I got about 30 minutes weeding in. The kitten followed me from flower bed to flower bed. 

Thanks to everyone who came and visited us at our booth at the Expo over the weekend. We had a lot of fun.  And I hope everyone had a chance also to welcome our new neighbors....Down to Earth Garden center and The Living Room coffee shop.  I am sooo excited...I get to just walk next door this morning to get my mocha latte. whoo hoo.

Supplies:  Penny Black stamp, MS punches, Copic markers, Stickles, gems, Daisy D;s paper.

Bird Call

Just a quick card idea before we head off to the Stamp and Scrap Expo. We will be setting up tonight and doors open at 9 am. You can get the pre-tickets at the store until 4 today. Otherwise they will be available for purchase at the door.

This was made on our Pazzle machine and then embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I inked after it was embossed. 

Supplies: Bird Class folder, inks, twill, twig stamp.

Mouse in Trouble

Here is another that the main card part was finished and then just added an image. You can make card designs ahead of time and then leave blank. This way you have the hard part done and you can just finish as you need them.  I used a paper distresser for the edges of the white paper to give it the 'frazzled' feel since thats the mood the mouse would have.

Supplies: Judith stamps, My Minds Eye and Quick Quotes papers, Copic markers, distresser, cardstocks.

Don't forget we will be at the Scrap & Stamp Expo this Saturday. You can purchase tickets at our store for only $3. They will be $5 at the show. This is our 3rd year particiapating in it. The PEO Chapter does it as their main fundraiser each year and the money they raise goes toward womens scholarships. So its a good cause and a fun day. There are several vendors and door prizes and make-n-takes. So we hope to see you there this Saturday.

Those Days

Goodmorning. I hope everyone enjoyed time with family for Easter.

Todays card is purrfect for most Mondays. lol  I had the main part of card made from a previous class and just needed to add the front image. I used the grumpy cat this time.

Supplies: Judith and Hero Arts stamps, Copic markers, Amuse Cloud Template, Versacolor inks, Quick Quotes paper, CS.

Its A Girl

This card was one in our Card Marathon but I am just now getting around to get it on the blog. Lots of

textures used to give it interest.

Supplies: My Minds Eye paper, Doublemates CS, Judith Stubby stamp, Copics, Cuttlebug embossing folders and ribbon.

I wish everyone a safe and fun Easter weekend. We will close at 4:00 today, open normal hours tomorrow and then be closed Sunday for Easter.

New addition

Goodmorning. Anyone who has been following my blog knows I have had a few sparatic visits from kittens over the winter months. Started with 5 and then has been down to 2. We discovered its the neighbors kittens and they are 'just' outdoor cats and not worthy of medicines, etc.  So I have been feeding when I have seen them and such.
Well now I have officially adopted this one. She has been at our place for past month and my husband finally broke down (or I wore him down) and said OH! Fine! Go get it its shots and fixed.  My little inner tail feathers were doing a rapid victory dance.
So now she has a good home and gets plenty of lovings. She is such a purrpuss too. You just touch her and she purrs. All my cats are males and I live in a house with all males so now I will have another female on my side. lol
Ramsey saw one of the other kittens last weekend and it breaks my heart to say he called me at work to tell me it is walking on a broken foot.  Sounds like it has been broken for awhile and has learned to walk on it that way. (so don't be surprized if I end up rescueing yet another kitten) To me...all cats should be pampered and if I won the lottery........I'd have a Cat Sanctuary..big cats and little.
Hug your cat today =)

Spring Song

You can hear the birds chirping now......and the beautiful weather we have been having makes the sound even more  precious.   And I met the gals who will be opening the coffee shop next to us soon...very nice...and I can hardly wait for their place to open.  Us PT gals here need out caffiene to crank out the creativity!!!

Supplies: My Minds Eye paper, Creative Impressions mesh ribbon, Amuse stamps, Paper Cut metallic paper, Nestibilities, white pen.
