Happy Mother's day!

A Day for Daisies

Copics

Speillbinders

Die-Namics 

Furry Fairies

Aren't these guys the cutest ever!

This is one of A Day For Daisies newest digi's.  I colored my kitties with Copics, cut them out and mounted them using Spellbinder dies. The sentiment is computer generated.

I am entering my furry fairs in:
A Day For Daisies July club kit take 2 challenge #74 - Use a die cut!

Wish me luck. I really want all of the new releases.

More cards.

These are some card I made using A Day For Daisies digital stamps.  You can find all the details on Splitcoast.

What have I been up to?

Every since I started blogging, I have been torn between my blog and Splitcoast Stampers gallery.
I can do one on a regular basis, but then the other gets neglected.  So I have been haning out at SCS.

This does not mean I am going to close shop since I still have blogs that I follow and this will allow me to stay in contact.  I just decided to do one BIG post each month.  You can find me at Splitcoast any time as GAILNM. (Really creative name :))

Products used can be found by visiting me at GAILNM at Splitcoast Stampers.

See ya in a few weeks!

Go to the White

I made this card for my future DIL's shower. I hope she likes it.

I thought it was just as pretty before setting it up as an easel card.

The bride is a digi stamp from A Day For Daisies.  The sentiment "Here comes the bride" is from Pebbles Clear Stamps.   I used a Sizzix embossing folder and the die cut is from Memory Box.

The pearls and the flowers are from Jolee's.  

Have a great weekend.

March Christmas Card Commitments

I'm almost never late for anything, but I am kind of a last minute gal.  So I surprised myself and finished before the 31st with this challenge.

This one is a High Hopes stamp. The DP paper is from K&Company. I colored this with Copics and Prisma pencils. The embellishments are a Wilton doily and buttons.

Isn't this Bo-Bunny paper fabulous? The horse is from Serendipity and the sentiment is Paper Trey Ink. This was done with Prisma Pencils and touched up a bit with Copics.

The silver paper has really pretty embossing, which didn't photo well.  The paper is My Minds Eye. The stamp is Stampendous. The itsy-bitsy poinsettias are a digi from A Day For Daisies. The deer was cut from my Silhouette Cameo. I also used Spellbinder's dies with this.

Whew! I am really tired.  Best hit the pillow, it's going to be a long week.  Have a good one. 

I've been showcased!!

I popped into the Less is More Challenge blog to check out this weeks challenge and what a wonderful surprise. They showcased my purple card. And see my badge displayed just to right  These are some fabulous ladies, which makes even more special. You need to stop over there and check them out!

I have some ideas for this weeks challenge rolling around in my head. (There's lots of room). But first I have to show off my latest digi.   

Tell me she is just sweet.  I cut the right side of the image and slid some DP behind her. I colored her with Copics, but really the pretty little fairy from A Day For Daisies, did all the work.  In case you can't read the sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms, it reads: " Plant a seed of friendship, reap a bouquet of happiness, by Louis L. Kaufman."

Looking for Robins

So far we have been experiencing a unusual mild winter here in Sioux City, Iowa.  Those Robins may be tricked into coming back early.  We've had some January days in the 50's and even one at 64 degrees. My friend, Sherri, bought a new snow blower last fall.  I told her she needs to buy one every year.

This challenge this week at Simply Less is Moore is week-50-one-layer-birds and my Robin fits the bill.

I just love this image from A Day For Daisies.  I colored this with Copics and added the sentiment from Inkadinkdo. So easy!

Everyone have a fabulous, fun week.

A Perfect Day

I had the most amazing day...  I took a vacation day with no plans in mind.  I just have to start using or loosing. I took Hubby (he's retired) to breakfast, did my grocery shopping and baked some brownies.  The smells of  the brownies baking and coffee brewing along with sun streaming into my craft room made me more relaxed than I've been in months.  It just couldn't have been sweeter. It's true, that the simplest things in life are to be cherished.  Today was all about me.  I could get used to this.  Hmm!

This is a digi from A Day For Daisies that I colored with Copics.  I cut it out and placed it on  layers of DP from K&Company.  If you know me, you know I've made a boo boo, by the embellishments.  My gorgeous cover-up-flowers are from Jolee's Boutique. "Smiles" is a favorite from Stampabilities. And of course I had to use a little Martha Stewart glitter on the leaf and the stem.
