~~ Hello ~~

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.

We've had so much rain lately it was wonderful to finally see the sun yesterday.

Lake Ontario is at an all time high with lots of flooding around the shoreline,

covering beaches and parkland. Hopefully it will recede but with more

rain expected it might take awhile.

..on to business.  Today starts a new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge #111

where we have the fabulous

Crafty Ribbons sponsoring, offering a great prize to the winner.

The theme this month is "Ribbon and Rubber"

We would like to see you use a rubber stamp or ribbon on your creation

and remember..it must be cute.

I stamped this cute stamp with Memento Grey Ink and

coloured her using Copics.  

She is called "Little Sprout" and is from Art Impressions

Design paper is StampinUp, velvet ribbon from my stash.

Silk ribbon used for the bow

Hello die is from Simon Says Stamp

Lace Oval is Cheery Lynn Designs Die DL136

Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We woke up to frost on the rooftops this morning...brrr was it cold!

I gave in and turned the heat on so we are toasty warm now.

My card share today is using an Art Impression stamp that I knew I needed...yes needed.

Love everything about him but especially the bells that ring when you tweek the oval.....so here he is.

The image is from the Bells Ring Set #4682 and comes with 3 stamps and a die to cut out the oval.

The background is Winter Cabin Landscape Die from MB and the trees are an old stand by for me from Marianne Dies.   The sentiment is part of the set and cut using MFT Stitched Tag die.

Good day everyone and welcome.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are celebrating.  

Is everyone else crazy busy this time of year.  We've had so much going on lately I've not had much time in my craft room but when I saw the Art Impressions Challenge to use "The Theory of Negativity" I remembered I had coloured this image up and this challenge was the inspiration I needed. The negative part of the Memory Box Oceana Border die was used and I quite like how it turned out. 

 

These gals are so like my friends and if anyone is wondering...I'm the one in the big hat!  You will always find me on the beach wearing my Tilley, hiding under a big umbrella.
