Lily of the Valley!!!http://ideastoinspire.blogspot.com/p/weekly-blog-candy.html

I don't usually do this, but I absolutely love, love, love Lily of the Valley images...and they are giving away a whole set of their newest release...so of course I had to post it....cause I really want them all!!!
If I've done this correctly, you should be able to link to their blog by clicking on the title...but as you can see its been a long time since I posted, so I may not have. You can also click on the banner to the right and it will take you to the blog.

Good luck!!
Shirley.

just for fun!

These two cards I made for fun as well, they'll go into the "stash" box to be used when needed. To be honest with you, that is mostly the way I make cards. With no one in particular in mind, just feel like colouring, or being alone. I'm pretty much left alone when I'm up in my craft room. I get rather grumpy when I'm interrupted, since I get such a little time to do it, and they are beginning to understand that. So today, its Kraftin Kimmie and Lily of the Valley.

 

 

 

Once again, thanks for looking.

Lily of the Valley Cards

Hello again. I have a couple more cards to post today...this time the latest release from Lily of the Valley. I love these busy little mice stamps...they're so adorable. Again, these were done for no reason at all, but fun. They'll go in my stash to be given to someone when I'm in a great hurry for a card and don't have time to make one.

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much for visiting.

Lily of the Valley--Happy Birthday

Good Morning!
I just crawled into bed after a crazy night at work...the flu bug is working its way through our building with a vengeance...and I always have trouble sleeping after an especially busy night. So, I'm posting a card I made last week. It was Reading Week so I found myself with no homework to do and a little bit of time. How awesome is that?

This birthday card was made for no one in particular...I just so love the image. I'm fast becoming addicted to Lily of the Valley stamps. They are just so darn adorable. Have you seen the new animals release? So cute...I feel a shopping spree coming on.

 

And this is just a close up of the image, I used clear glitter and then added some pretty blue sprinkles to her skirt...I am happy with the way it turned out.

 

I'll do a little more bloghopping this morning and then hopefully get some sleep before I have to pick up the kids from school. The weather here is absolutely dismal today, it is still raining (two days and nights pretty much non-stop)...if it keeps up much longer, people are going to start building arks.

Any how, hope the weather where you are is sunny and bright.
Thanks for looking.

More Snow!! And another card for the heck of it.

We have absolutely had an awesome Canadian winter this year! The kids had 5 snow days in December alone, and are off again today. It is just a lovely soft snowfall now, which I hope you can see in my pics...but last night was another story...overnight we were slammed with almost 30cm of the white stuff and the wind was blowing so hard, I thought the roof was going to blow off! It is so beautiful, don't you think. I know some people don't like it, it makes driving difficult, etc., but I think its fun. Especially with four-wheel drive....plowing through snow drifts is a blast!! My kids think I'm an idiot, my husband says my suspension will go to pot...oh well, I'm having fun!

 

 

Here is another Lily of the Valley card I made for fun. I am not especially happy with it, the flower behind the sentiment looks like the sun, and that isn't really what I was going for. Its done though, so its posted.

 

I'm off to the dentist (yuck)...but at least I'm getting out in the weather!
Have a great day.
Thanks for looking,
Shirley.

Lily of the Valley

Okay...I'm probably the worst blogger in the world. I made 57 different Christmas Cards this year and blogged very few of them. I seem to get them done "just in time", and off they go to their intended destinaton. No pics, no blogging. Actually, if I think about it, most of my life runs that way right now. Working nights is beginning to take it's toll on me, I feel tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. I am just this week starting my second year of undergraduate studies, and the kiddies seem busier than ever....I love that, but it does get exhausting. Now enough of my griping, and on to a couple of cards I was able to make on the weekend, and take pics of today.

These are two Lily of the Valley (http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/) stamps. I just love these, and recently ordered a few more of their newest releases. They are just so adorable!
