Lily of the Valley Heartfelt Thanks

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today I'm here to showcase another of the gorgeous new

Sheena's Floral Fantasy stamp sets by Crafter's Companion.

This one is called Lily of the Valley, 

which just happens to be one of my favorite flowers. 

My, don't they smell divine!

I colored the blooms with my Spectrum Noir pens

on CC Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock

and used a sentiment from the

Mulberry Wood "Smile" stamp set.

I hope you like it!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Thinking Of You And Smiling

Hey there!

Today I'm here with another new release from Crafter's Companion.

They've added a brand-new line from artist Sheena Douglass.

It's called Floral Fantasy, and consists of four beautiful sets,

including the Wild Rose and Hibiscus I chose to use on my card.

Aren't they pretty?

And while I was at it, I decided to film a video

showing you how I put it all together.

Enjoy!

Lawnscaping Challenge #58

Hey, girls! Welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #58!

We are being sponsored by the wonderful Lawn Fawn,

who has generously donated a free stamp set of the winner's choice.

Thanks, Lawn Fawn!

Here's my card:

I used the new Critters at the Dog Park stamp set

with a sentiment from Love 'N Breakfast.

My papers are from Daphne's Closet.

To get the texture on my pup, I took some 

Copic Blender fluid and dabbed it on my 

colored dog with a washcloth.

It's a great technique to use for furry critters!

Please hop on over to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog

and check out the rest of the design team's 

amazing CAS creations and also play along!

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Have a great day!

Hook, Line and Sinker

Hello!

Today I'm here with my card for the

Crafter's Companion May Challenge: Masculine.

The challenge runs through the end of the month,

so you've still got about two weeks to play along and win

a $30 gift card to Crafter's Companion!

I inked up my stamp Mulberry Wood "Gone Fishing"

and colored it in with my Spectrum Noirs

on CC Ultra Smooth Premuim White Cardstock.

I hope you like it, 

and I hope you'll consider playing along!

Mother's Day Card and Handpainted Pottery

Hello, lovely ladies!

Today I wanted to wish all you mothers,

daughters, sisters, and friends a very special Mother's Day!

I hope you're spending it with someone you love

and who will treat you as special as you deserve.

I made this card using a couple of stamp sets from Crafter's Companion,

Sheena's A Little Bit Floral "Magnolia"

which is one of those flowers that you could stamp

a whole bunch of and color and color -- so fun!

I chose to do this one in shades of yellow with my 

Spectrum Noirs on CC Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock 

and stamped my sentiment from Party Paws "Bamboo".

I also wanted to share with you the pottery bowl I hand painted

for my step-mother as her Mother's Day gift.

I went to a wonderful local place called Claytopia

and picked out a large bisque mixing bowl and covered it

with bright yellow flowers to match her kitchen.

Here's the result:

The rim is a dark green, not black as it looks in the pictures.

I didn't want to give it to her empty so I filled it

with a dozen or so oranges. 

I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
