LOTV Happy Birthday Bunny

Lisa — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:59:47 +0000

Please excuse the last few posts. I just couldn’t keep up with two blogs and life so I decided to somewhat condense them. I brought over a few posts from my 2nd blog that I used the Cricut and/or paper crafting with. I also brought a couple PDF patterns that I love and spent a lot of time on. If you like to paper piece they are right up your alley. Hope you don’t mind if I share something non-card related from time to time. Sometimes I just can’t help myself. I get, as my husband called it, geeked out and have to share.

Winner of the tape and stamps is #8- AndreaJB. Congrats Andrea! Please e-mail me your address and I’ll mail your goodies out to you.

I had fun coloring this little bunny on today’s card. I must say Lili of the Valley stamps are getting cuter and cuter. I love coloring them too.

Birthday Bear Card & Giveaway

It’s been a very un-awesome day. That’s all. Just wanted to tell you. Super uncool day. It has been stated and now we can move on. I did make a batch of sorry-I’m-an-idiot brownies (a.k.a. Andes Mint Brownies) that are delicious. So if you are having a bad day maybe try them out. You never know, they might help.

I kind of dig today’s card. I haven’t used vibrant colors like these in awhile. There is one aspect of my card I don’t dig but then I think of a comment a bloggy friend left telling me never to apologize for my art. She’s a very smart lady so I’m sticking with that outlook.

One of these days I’m going to try one of those crazy fancy cards with the big fancy flowers clusters and bazillion embellishments…but for now the sweet and simple is working for me. I saw a white card yesterday that I totally dig too. Maybe changing up and trying new things will help me get my mojo back. I have some style exploring to do… Any favorites I should give a go?

Supplies

Stamps: Lili of the Valley- I baked a cake (LOVE all the new LOTV release!)

Paper: imaginisce- b-day bash

Birthday Bunny

Hi all! I brought a hoppy friend today to say hello. Who doesn’t want a sweet bunny to bring you a cupcake on your birthday?!? I must say I do adore him. I’m bummed you can’t see the stickles on his cupcake a little better but you’ll just have to take my word for it’s cuteness.

New fabulous Copic colors coming out!!! 12 new colors. You can preorder them all here.

Also, the newest collection from Magnolia- You Are So Special is on preorder and the new Magnolia Ink Magazine just came out. Who knew I’d end up loving Magnolia images after all? I sit and scroll through all of them decided which one to get next…I have issues.;)

One more thing I thought I’d mention to all my fellow High Hopes fans. They have a hop going on over at the challenge blog with three lucky winners (one winning 100$ worth of fabulous mouth watering High Hopes stamps!!!). If I don’t win them hopefully one of ya’ll will. One day I’ll be a High Hopes Diva, one day my friend.

Thanks for stopping by! Thank you to the 48 spam comments I received this weekend too! I feel so loved…

My to-do-list keeps growing longer but I wanted to share a couple of cards with you so I’m just going to combined them into one condensed post tonight. First I have a thank you card using a Lili of the Valley’s On the Garden Wall stamp. One of those stamps I’ve had laying around for awhile now and just hadn’t colored it up. I think they are adorable. I used my new favorite cuttlebug folder, Seeing Spots and the papers are from Basic Grey’s Max & Whiskers paper pad.

I haven’t used a digi in ages. Sad but true. I love this one from Squigglefly. I wish my photog skills (or lack there of) showed the coloring better. :S I’ll get the hang of it one day. Any pointers are welcomed.

The polka dot paper is from Pebbles Inc. but I can’t recall the pumpkins. They were leftover in my scraps. Thanks for stopping by. Love to see all your faces…or comments in this case
