Farm Fresh Chicks!

This card was made with my sister Carol,in mind. Yes she lives on a Hobby Farm. Her home is a Log Cabin.What an adventure to visit and while there you may see deer,moose or bear. They live on the wildside! What would a farm be without hens,chickens and eggs.
This Photo stamp. from Oxford Impressions is one of my favourites

Ohoo...Marilyn

The beauty of Marilyn Monroe
This photo stamp was coloured with chalks ever so lightly.
Do you remember those skirts,whether poofy or even the poodle skirts?

The Lord is My Shepherd

What is more soothing to the soul, than Scripture.I have so many friends that are going through very difficult times, at this very moment. The 23rd Psalm certainly reminds us of Who is our Comforter.

Sweet Tulips

This Card reminds me that Spring is not too far away.
A beautiful photo stamp from Oxford Impressions.Coloured with pastels and markers. Tulips were stamped,coloured,on white card stock.Then embossed with dotted,cuddlebug folder.The girl was placed to the side of the tulips.Pink sheer ribbon to complete.

Lily

Lily was stamped on black glossy paper. This photostamp is just one of my favourites from The Stampsmith.Watered down inks were applied lightly to colour the image. Corners were punched out from blue cardstock and sponged lightly with black to give a vintage look. The background papers that I used are quite different and I like that look. I used various stamps on blue paper with black ink. After tearing the inside edge, it was then placed beside a chocolate brown printed sheet. Distressing the background papers like I did on the corners helps to bring the whole card together. All was completed with embellishements of a punched heart, a flower brad and a little glitter.

Bleeding Hearts for Mom

My mother was an excellent gardener. The only plant she could never seem to grow was a bleeding heart. I think every section of her garden hosted a new plant every year, but no hope!
To this day when I see a bleeding heart in any form, I can't think but think of her.
This card is dedicated to her. The actual stamp is watercoloured. Using the oval nestablities, I centered the stamp. Added ribbon and corner embellisments to the corners.

Stamping Friends

For the past 4 years ,I have meet with group of passionate stampers weekly. We share and motivate one another.Card making is the bond we have and a real highlight is when it is one of the members has a birthday. You never have seen such a frenzy when we give personalized cards to the celebrated one. I am not so sure who is the one most excited, the one receiving or the one giving. We all drool over each others cards in wonderment of "How did you do that"?What an amazing group these ladies are. This card,was given by me last night, to honour Brenda's birthday. I also would like to salute each of these wonderful friends who have all given me the inspiration that drives me to try something new.
