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,

A Windy, Rainy Day

Rain, rain go away...
It's spring showers over at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.
Here's what I got:

Cardstock by G Design
Ribbon and buttons from my stash
Prismacolor markers
Chalk
Flocking
Precious Moments by Sam Butcher
Sentiment by BrossArt Addiction

I printed the image several times and used foam dots for dimension

I've always been a huge fan of Precious Moments.  I remember passing by the window of Hallmark on my way to school and seeing those adorable figurines.  This card brings back some fond childhood memories.
Thanks for stopping by!

Up, up and away!

Another fantastic Wednesday means another challenge over at Wicked Wednesdays!  This week we are sponsored by Digi Darla's and we got to work with cute aviator kitties!

I used chalk for the background and colored the kitty with my Prismacolor markers.  I printed the kitty's arm twice and used a foam dot for dimension.  This is the first time I used flocking...I made a mess :)
Make sure you stop by Wicked Wednesdays and check out the rest of the DT's awesome designs!
Thanks for stopping by,
