Aurora with Tulips


I know, I know, two days in a row is a bit scary! But I love this sweet little sprite Aurora from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. She's such a cutie pie and always looks so stinkin happy! Just love her sweet face!

She's all done up in copics with stickles and some great BasicGrey papers. I embossed the plaid paper with my cuttlebug folder for a bit more texture and added some Stickles to these sweet tulips. Gosh, I want to be sitting with her, don't you? It's raining like crazy here in Florida and it reminds me that before long the tulips and spring bulbs will be popping out of the ground and I can't wait for all the beautiful color. My mom has the greatest tulips in her yard every spring and it's one of the things she looks forward to the most - all that gorgeous color!

Susana is having a great release tomorrow for her new line of sweet stamps from Victoria Case! Make sure to stop by and join in on the blog hop! There some of the most talented stampers around and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Here's hoping that Miss Aurora visits Nola's tulips this year!

Card Ingredients:

Aurora with Tulips from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, BasicGrey paper, cuttlebug embossing folder, nestabilities, Stickles, copics, Bella Baubles, ribbon, Petaloo flower.

Love me some Tilda!



I don't know how I posted this cutie without writing something! This is one of the sweeties I made while my computer was down and have just had a chance to post here. This is my sweet Tilda from Magnolia and I made her for our last challenge over at Roses on Paper. I do love these sweeties and haven't given them as much attention as I should have lately. This is Tilda with Birdcage and I just think she's so precious.

She's colored with copics and the paper is from BasicGrey and the flowers are Prima Flowers and I had to put some stickles on her! You know I just can't keep them off my Magnolias!

Hope you enjoy my sweet Tilda. I sure do love them!

Card Ingredients:
Tilda with Birdcage, BasicGrey Bittersweet paper, ribbon, Stickles, copics, Prima Flowers, BasicGrey Bling, spacers, cuttlegbug embossing folder

I'm back and a new digi release from Elisabeth Bell!

For those of you who came back to visit, thank you so much for hanging in there with me! It's been a very trying couple of weeks without a computer but it's been a good, revealing couple of weeks for me. I've got my computer back and it's better than ever! Nice new monitor and a keyboard that I think I can finally type with! And I'm having some work done on my blog, so look back in a few days and it should be fabulous! And I've got a few cards to share with you this week and I've been playing around with some of digis and here's an absolutely enchanting one from the oh so talented Elisabeth Bell that I'd love to share with you.



The ever so talented Elisabeth Bell has released another fabulous digi and this sweetie is called "Pat-A-Cake"! Isn't it just too sweet and cute? The Belles N' Whistles team was asked to help show her off so make sure to stop over at all my sisters blogs and see what they've come up with for you!

I remember sitting for hours on end playing Pat-A-Cake with my best friend growing up, Debbie, and then with all my nephews and of course with my girls. And I'm sad to say that no matter how many time I baked that cake, you still wouldn't eat it very much of it! Baking is not my forte but spending hours on end with the little ones that I love sure was! I love this sweet image because it so reminds me of spending wonderful, happy times with loved ones and oh, how I wish I looked this sweet and fresh playing!

She's colored with copics and I used the great papers from The Basic Origins collection from BasicGrey. Love their papers and the colors from this collection are just beautiful.

Make sure to stop by over at Elisabeth's blog and pick this sweet experience up for your collection. So go have some fun and tell me all about your favorite childhood game. I' love to hear about it!


Card Ingredients:

Pat-A-Cake by Elisabeth Bell, Basic Origins paper pack from BasicGrey, Prima Flowers, copics, Cuttlebug folder, nestabilities, Diamond Glaze, BasicGrey Bling, ribbon, MS branch punch.

No Monitor!

Well, my monitor has gone out on me and I can't see a graphic or touch up a photo or see it the picture is clear. I should be getting a new computer or monitor on Tuesday and should be back up shortly after that. Wish me luck and know that I've missed you all! Susana at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design has some great new products in the store so make sure you stop over and take a peek!

Sorry for my absence!




I'm so sorry that I haven't been around to post this week but my daughter, Tiffany, and her husband, Chris, and my Allie have come to visit! I need all the Nana time I can get! Chris has been doing some housekeeping on my computer so I've been a bit out of commission. I promise to be back tomorrow with something cute and maybe something a bit sassy.

But while I'm here, head on over to Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and check out all the great new products she's brought into the shop! Tons of sun stuff!

Yak at you all tomorrow!
