you brighten my day

Hello

Hope all is well! I'm feeling better but still not 100%...it's just dragging on! I needed a little colour and brightness in my day so I created this cheerful card using our Roses and Daffodils stamp sets. I used water colours to colour my rose...really quick and easy...I didn't fuss...just let the colour go where it wanted to. 

I painted my background with water colours...once it was dried I stamped polka dots over it with white ink. The polka dots are JD stamps (from my very first stamp set ...the Bakery one...remember?? :) )

I stamped my sentiment onto vellum. I'm really digging white ink and white sequins lately! :)

Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Birthday Mama + recipe

Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

Today is my Mama's birthday and I made this card for her.....she LOVES flowers and the colour yellow! I've been blessed with the best Mama and only wish we could be together on this day. I haven't seen her in over 2 years! :(

I found my inspiration for this card on pinterest here! I used my Daffodils and Croatian Sentiments stamp sets. I coloured the daffodils with my Graph'it markers. I used some of my washi tape and stamped the sentiment (which means happy birthday for those of you who do not know Croatian :) ) onto vellum.

I'm not sure if  I shared this recipe here on the blog yet but it's a favourite with everyone and it's so easy to make and you can make it ahead of time because it's freezer friendly (I always have these in the freezer!) I found the recipe here. The only thing I do differently is I use puff pastry.

Well...that's it...I've got a busy weekend...my daughter and husband both have their birthdays and we're celebrating all weekend...wish me luck...I haven't even started yet!!!

you make life fun + freebie

 Hello!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Popping in to share a card I created using my Tooth Fairy Klara stamp set. I coloured her in with my Graph'it markers and then cut her out (I attached her with foam dots...like she's just floating around!).

A while back I drew a bunch of speech bubbles and then forgot about them....the other day I stumbled upon them and thought it would be perfect for this card. the background was created with one of Simon Says Stamp stencils and on top of that I adhered a piece of transparency paper to soften the background up.

So I thought I would share my speech bubbles with you to print out and use. They are hand drawn...like all my images. :)

Pop on over to the JD blog and check out Judith's super SWEET card!

Have a great day!
