Chewable Aspirin Anyone?

Happy Sunday morning! I made this card yesterday for my dear sister-in-law. She suffered with a mini-stroke last week and is still in the hospital. We will be going to see her today and I am taking this card to cheer her up. This is from the House Mouse collection and is entitled "Chewy Aspirin". I used my Cuttlebug, nesties, an embossing folder, die cuts and a Martha Steward punch. I colored with my Prismacolor pencils and my Copics. The dp is from Basic Grey's Marrakesh collection. I looked at my card again this morning and thought it needed just a little something else, so I added buttons and applied dew drops to the center. I really adore this image and I hope it will get a smile from her. Let me know what you think!

Rope Swing Sugar Nellie

Hi everyone! I'm just glad I was able to post a card today on my blog! I spent 3 1/2 hours on the phone with tech support checking out my laptop yesterday. Thankfully, it has recuperated and I'm playing catch up. I have been wanting to make a card with this cute little stamp since I received her. I used my Prismacolor pencils and my dp is from Basic Grey's Porcelain collection. The sentiment is from Verve.

This was such a fun image to work with! Please let me know what you think!

Two New Tilda's

The dust is finally settling. We had a fantastic Easter, my daughter and four grandchildren spent almost an entire week with us and left yesterday. They had a blast playing with their four cousins -getting lots of rays and fresh air, exploring the farm and intimidating my two dogs. I love seeing them all get together and building such great memories. Needless to say, I have not had a whole lot of time to blog or even make cards, LOL! I did "help" my little troop to make some cards, they are mesmerized by my craft room - all the gadgets and glitter, a treasure trove just waiting for them to dive into. I have two new Magnolia's to show you, Tilda with bunny and Tilda with lamb. I used my copics to color and DCWV design paper. These are all ready to be adhered to cardstock. Please let me know what you think!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
