A New Look. A new commitment.

If your new to my blog, Welcome.  If you follow my blog, you may have thought that I'm not making cards.  Well, I've been hanging out at Splitcoast Stampers.  But now I am ready to recommit to my blog, and to visiting you, who have supported me.  Big thanks to everyone of you gifted and wonderful friends.  

So here is my Tah Dah!

Isn't this Hambo stamp and sentiment a hoot?  I used a Spellbinders die to mount it and then added a grass die.  (My friend gave me the grass).  

I paper pieced her shirt and pants from scraps I have and colored the rest with Copics and Prisma pencils.

Have a glorious week everyone!

Nothing but blue skies

Blue skies?  Not so much lately here in Iowa.  Considering what's gone on in the country, I'm not going to complain. I'm on my knees every night thankful for all my blessings. My prayers go out to all those many people who went through those devastating tornadoes and flooding  the last couple of weeks. 

This is a Hambo Rubber Stamp that I got with a gift certificate from Sherri.  I just love how it turned out, even after I rolled over part of it with my chair. Gurrr!

As I said, this is a Hambo Rubber Stamp. I colored my beach and umbrellas with Copics and shaded with Prisma pencils and Gamsol.  The paper is from Karen Foster Designs. My sewing machine has been a little temperamental lately so I used a little ribbon to cover up the boo boo.  I put a little simmer in the sand with some Stickles.  The "Sending You" is from Anna Griffin and the "Nothing but blue skies" was done on the computer and cut out with a Spellbinders label die.

Let's all remember all of those who sacrificed so much this Memorial Day.

A different Saturday

Sherri went to Lincoln to spend Easter with family, and left me here by myself. I just don't know where her priorities are!!  So boo, I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch, and made a card by myself.  Well, tomorrow, I have Church, and then Easter dinner here with my family. I can't wait to see those little granddaughters in their Easter dresses.

Here is my solo.

Sherri gave me this gift certificate for Hambo Stamps. I colored my herd with Prisma Pencils and Gamsol.

The paper is from My Mind's Eye Glitter Book.  That stuff is hard to glue, so Zip Dry is a must. The little flower (my big embellishment) is from Sandylion Essentials that I purchased at Michael's along with the ribbon.

I wish everyone a glorious Easter.
