More MFT Monday :)


Here are my samples for the other MFT set coming out on Wednesday. This set is aptly called "Happy Mother's Day" :) Patterned paper is by Chatterbox on the left-hand card, and on the other one I used Autumn Leaves paper.


Don't forget - stop by tomorrow for some news of a new weekly challenge from The Cat's Pajamas! I hope some of you will be able to play along :)

Can You Dig It?


These cards are made with one of the two new sets being released by My Favorite Things this Wednesday :) This set is called "Can You Dig It?". What a great Spring theme!

Cheeky Monkeys!

Check out these little guys from Queen Kat Designs :) The set is called "What's Happenin'?". Nattie is into everything monkey-ish right now so this is one of her favorite cards. The die-cut card and mat are from Creative Cuts & More - it made the color-blocking process soooo much easier!

Be sure to stop by here on Tuesday...those of you who enjoy a challenge will be happy!!

Flying by to say hello :)

How sweet is this little guy? He's one of the new images from Hanna Stamps. I've made a bunch of these to keep on hand for kids' birthdays, and I'm thinking I can personalize the card by writing the child's name on the banner :) The patterned paper is by We R Memory Keepers, and I colored the image with my Copics.

Have a great Saturday! We're expecting snow here tomorrow....at the end of March?!

Friday already?!

The week has flown by - and I bet the kids feel the same too! It's back to school for them on Monday :)

We went to Denver Zoo yesterday and had a great time - despite the temps only reaching the low 40's! BRRRR! The leopards were very active, growling at each other, and Jamie and Nattie both loved watching the squirrel monkeys leaping around from branch to branch. A stop at Starbucks was definitely in order on the way home to warm us up: Earl Grey tea for me, hot chocolate for Nattie, and milk for Jamie :) A fun day out!

Today's card is made using a simple flower stamp (can't quite remember who made it, but I'll check it out). I found this really pretty patterned paper by Chatterbox and thought it made a great match. The regular and scalloped squares were cut out using Nestabilities dies. Shimmer brads by Making Memories (these are one of my favorites recently!).

Have a great weekend, everyone!!

ETA: the stamp is by Memory Box (thanks Karrie and Cat!) :)

One-Layer Card Challenge!


This week Heidi challenged the Queen Kat Designs DT to come up with a one-layer card! This was sooo much harder than I imagined!!

Be sure and check out the other DT Members' blogs and see what they created: Heidi, Tanis, Lindsay, Penny, and Nancy.

Sugar Nellie











I'm working on a challenge for Queen Kat Designs today (that I'll post later), but I wanted to also let you know that I just found an adorable line of stamps from the UK! They're called Sugar Nellie :)

Egg Hunting in the Snow


I hope everyone had a great weekend :) Here are some photos of Nattie and Jamie hunting for their eggs in our front yard. We got a few inches of fresh snow on Saturday night, so they did their hunting in snow boots, jammies and snow jackets :)

Paisley Hello :)

Friday at last! And next week is Spring Break for my kids, so they were very excited as they headed out the door this morning :) My hubby gets back today after being in Argentina this week - needless to say, it's been a loooong week! Tonight we're going to have family movie night and watch 'Enchanted'. The kids and I saw it when it was out at the movies, but Iain didn't.

Today's card is made with stamps from Queen Kat Designs. The set is called 'Fancy Paisley'. I had originally planned to color the pattern, but when I saw the black and white, I really liked the effect of that, so left it as it was!

I'll be back on Monday :) Wishing everyone a super weekend, whatever you're doing!
