hello friend

Hello!

Hope all is well! (I really do...it's not just how I start my blog...from the heart!)

It's my turn on the JD blog and my very first sunflower at home inspired my card for today. Last night no sunflower...this morning..hello Mr. Sunflower! :)

Ain't he pretty! :)

For this card I used my Autumn Blessings and Cube It stamp sets. I was in a hurry (what's new man!!) so watercolors saved the day again. Just a light wash of blue to make my background, some strips of green for the grass. I stamped and cut out my sunflower and did a very simple and light wash of colour. Easy peasy! And I'm not using any special watercolors...regular grocery store bought watercolors that my kids use.

I adhered the sunflower and top strip of grass with foam dots for dimension.

This week I will (fingers crossed) order some brand new JD stamps! I can't wait to share!

Have a great day!!

Hello sunshine + JD blog spotting

Hello!

I blogged my Friday favourites and one of the favourites was this pillow! I plan to paint a canvas for Mia's room....so I doodled a little something (below) to get some ideas of how I'll do it...I'll share the finished product...I just hope it'll look as good as it does in my head! :)

And I also blog spotted this beauty created by the talented Marion using our Doodle Flowers stamp set!

Have a great day!

miss you

Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

It's my turn over at the JD blog today and I used our Butterflies and Daffodils (for the sentiment) to create this card. I must confess that I had stamped and painted (with watercolors) these butterflies a while back so it didn't take me long to create this card. Whenever I loose my mojo I like to stamp images and colour them and have them ready.

I added a little glitter with glossy accents and I also adhered the butterflies with glossy accents too. I wanted some dimension, as if they were fluttering around so I added the glossy accents to the body of the butterfly leaving the wings free to shape.

This card make me think of my mama...I miss her terribly!

Have a great day!

for some bunny special

Hello!
Hope all is well! This is my second post for today...scroll down to check out my Friday Favourites! :) 

 I created this adorable (if I do say so myself) card using our Spring stamp set! :) 

I did a little paper piecing (the tummy and ears using my old dictionary), coloured (with Graph'it markers) and cut them out.

I created my background with my plain from the grocery store watercolors...easy peasy! :) And I added a cute mustache to one of the bunnies!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

JD blog hop

Hello!

Hope you are well! :)

The JD design team is show casing our two newest stamp sets TEArrific and Spring and of coarse we're giving these two sets away to one lucky person so make sure to leave comments! :)

I'm sharing this card I created using our TEArrific stamps set (both sets are hand drawn by me). Sorry about the photo. :( I posted a card a few days ago just like this one but with the tea cups.

I heat embossed the macaroons with white embossing powder and used my water colors to colour them in....so so easy! :)

There's been some changes at JD and one of them is a new DT member - Evgenia!! So thrilled to have her join us! We've also got a Guest Designer joining us for this hop so I suggest you hop along!!

you are enough

Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

I'm back with another card....I created this card using my Butterflies stamp set.

I just stamped this butterfly image and covered the whole card and then went in with watercolors...which I'm loving at the moment...so easy because it doesn't have to be perfect and still looks perfect! :)

This stamp set has a lot of meaning for me...woman in particular are much to hard on themselves....you have to be super woman, your home has too look like a page out of House Beautiful, cooked meals, baked goods, be thin, perfect hair, anti-wrinkle, anti-cellulite ........bla bla bla...well who says?!!! Life is too short...Ageing is a privilege and you really are enough!! :) I do believe you need to take care of yourself, work hard and do your best and that is more than enough. :)

Have a great day and Happy Labor Day to all my fellow Croatians! :)

TEArrific

Hello!

Hope all is well!

Today the Croatian version of my TEArrific stamp set arrived (so anyone interested in this set just email me at janebeljo@yahoo.ca). The English on is in our shop! :)

I created this card using watercolors and heat embossing...so easy and quick! I apologize for the photos....my background paper has a sheen and I just don't have the strength to go and take more photos! :) 

Have a great day!
