Wishing you all a fabulous Easter!

Celebrate!

Have a great day!

Stamps: Whipper Snapper Designs “Bunny Train”, sentiment from “Happy Birthday” cling set (Anna Wight)   Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black   Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink White   Patterned Paper:  We R Memory Keepers White Out “Hoopla”   Accessories:  Copic markers, Basic Grey buttons, white string, glue dots.

Hi everyone!  We’re putting off our JFF challenge for a bit so in the meantime, I thought I’d share this birthday card.  I made a similar one for my little niece who turns five this week.  (Happy birthday, Amy!!!)

Happy Birthday

My daughter helped me place my last Whipper Snapper order and this image was among her requests. 

I wanted to use Primas for the flowers but I didn’t have the right color, nor did I have an assortment of similar shapes among different sizes to color with my Copics.  So instead I punched my flowers from the cardstock.  (That’s one way to get a perfect match, eh?  Not quite the same look as Primas but it works.)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Stamps:  Whipper Snapper Designs “Little Girl with Dotted Present”, sentiment from “Happy Birthday” cling set (Anna Wight)   Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black    Cardstock:  Prism Intense Teal, Spring Willow Medium, Super Smooth White   Patterned Paper:  Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday “Tuesday”   Accessories:  Copic markers, McGill “Buttercup,” “Petite Petals” and “Baby Blooms” punches, Martha Stewart Doily border punch, Basic Grey buttons, white string, pop dots.  Card size 5” x 5”.

Happy Saturday!  At least I hope your Saturday is happy! 

We’ve been up since before the crack of dawn to get our son in for his fifth brain MRI in the last 18 months.  (He’s had one every six months since his surgery just to monitor progress.)  Everything has been fine and so far he’s been able to handle the procedures without sedation but I was a bit worried this morning.  He kept moving his little feet to the beat of the noises the machine was making.  It was actually kind of cute but I wanted to jump out of my chair and hold those bopping feet still.  The procedure ended up taking two hours instead of the usual 45 minutes.  Every time the technician came into the room, I was afraid he was going to tell us we’d have to come back at a later time for sedation.  But he was very patient and it all worked out (thankfully).    We have an appointment on Wednesday with the neurosurgeon but I expect everything to be fine.  And hopefully the next MRI won’t be for another year or two.

I want to thank all of you for the birthday wishes here on my blog and for all the emails and cards I received!  You have no idea how much it means to me.  🙂   I have so many thank you cards to send.  Here’s the first.

Thank You

I used Anna’s Fish Friends set by Whipper Snapper Designs.  I used Copic markers to color the image then added some 3-d black dots on the flower and ladybug.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the weekend!

Stamps:  Whipper Snapper Designs “Fish Friends”   Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black   Cardstock: Prism Papaya Puree Dark, Intense Teal, Natural Smooth   Patterned Paper:  My Mind’s Eye Bloom & Grow “Little Blossom”   Accessories:  Copic markers, Queen & Co. brads, Sakura black 3-d gel pen, sewing machine, pop dots.

  I didn’t sleep all that well last night, between this cold that’s driving me nuts and the many things hanging around in my brain, so I’ll keep this short and sweet.  🙂

Forever Friends

I’ve finally had the chance to crack open Anna’s Friendly Expressions set that was released last month.  So many wonderful sentiments!  (I like the fonts too!)

The flowers were watercolored with Adirondack inks, then outlined with a gray Copic for a bit of shadow.

After I added the button to the end of the sentiment, I decided it needed just a bit of something to make it stand out more. The top and bottom edges were getting lost in the patterned paper.  So I added a circle of the dark coral cardstock behind it (cut just the tiniest bit bigger than the button).

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

I’m happy to say that after an 11-hour sleep last night (lol), I’m feeling a bit better.  Still totally stuffy, but at least that horrendous sinus headache has eased.  I can just barely smell and taste things…which is HORRIBLE since my very sweet hubby gave me TWO POUNDS of my favorite candy in the world, Wockenfuss dark chocolate-covered cherries.  If you live in the Ocean City/Baltimore area, maybe you know what I’m talking about.  (I don’t live there, but I have a lot of family in that area.)  Oh my gosh…the box arrived this week and luckily I was home as it was 71 degrees outside and the box was left on the front step!  I knew what was inside because “WOCKENFUSS” was printed in very large letters on the box.  My husband tried to tell me there were Star Wars figures inside, but I knew better.  I was jumping for joy, only now….I can’t eat them.  I will NOT waste them by eating them without tasting them.  That would be sinful.  I can just barely smell them.  Oh, the anticipation.  (He’s so sweet!)

Yesterday’s post was Chicken Fun {Part I}.  Today…

Chicken Fun {Part II}

This image is so silly, it makes me smile.  It’s another of Anna’s Whipper Snapper chicken designs.  Too cute!  (I used her string-hanging-from-the-back-of-the-button idea.)  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  

(I wish that were me.  Soon…..soon….)

TGIF!  It’s a very quick/short post from me today. I’m not feeling all that great and I have a lot of running around to do.  If only I could find a chicken to run my errands for me…  🙂

Chicken Fun {Part I}

Who, besides Anna Wight, would think to put a chicken behind the wheel?  I love her imagination and sense of humor.  You can see more Whipper Snapper chickens here.  🙂

ACK!  Ithem!  These little guys are Alexander and Ivan.  They hold a blank sign so you can add your own sentiment.  How cute is that??
