Shake, Rattle and Roll to the Blues

I love Sundays.  Went for a nice stroll this morning, did some chores and the rest of the afternoon was devoted to good music and card making.  I tried two new techniques today!

A Day for Daisies - Shades of Blue

I made a lattice card for this challenge. Arranging those strips reminded me of making pie...mmmm, pie.  But I digress. The cherry blossoms are also from ADFD.  I colored the cute little blue bird with my Prismacolor markers; When I think of blue birds, I think of spring at the countryside.  I went for a shabby chic vibe.

Dilly Beans - Stars

Care Bears are trademark of American Greetings, created by Elena Kucharik

Flashback alert!!!  We are time traveling back to the 80s :)  Remember the Care Bears?  This is one of their starry friends.  Image is from one of my old coloring books that I scanned and resized. For this week's Dilly Beans challenge, I decided to keep it clean and simple.  The new technique on this one: SHAKER CARD!  The little star's balloon is filled with pink glass beads that you can shake around :)

Take a Word - Angelic/Angel

Precious Moments by Sam Butcher

Last but not least, this is a tag I made for Take a Word.  I've been on a Precious Moments kick recently :)  I had scrap and buttons from my bluebird card that I used up.  I just adore the little turtle!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Have a great week,

Shades of Green

Second and final post of the day...
I wasn't planning on doing any more projects for the day, but I came across Take a Word's Green challenge.  Perfect...I have just enough scraps left over to make another chunky page!
I'm also going to submit this at Fat Pages with Attitude.

Precolored Digi from MissMary.com
Shamrock embellishments from Recollections

Here's a different angle
I used foam dots for dimension

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Oh, for the love of MOO!

This post has NOTHING to do with cows...I promise :)
I just love it when I go exploring other artists' blogs and get inspired or learn something new!
So, what's a MOO?  It's a mini card; learn more about them here.
Vintage MOOs are this week's challenge over at Take a Word.  Sigh, isn't art wonderful?  Here are my mini creations:

So what do you think?  I recommend you try making these, they are so much fun! Thanks for stopping by!

Peace and love,
