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.

My Daughter loves me!!

Hello again: Two posts from me today. Look what my daughter made for me...for no reason at all. She was peeking at all my stamps, found this one from Kraftin Kimmie and made me a card. I've included a pic of the inside, just because its so cool! I mean we know our kids love us....but seeing it in print just makes the heart sing doesn't it? I'm going to go hug her again!

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge--Frilly

Hello! Spring has finally arrived in Southwestern Ontario...I even got out in the garden yesterday. I enjoy playing in the dirt as much as playing in my craftroom....which I have also been able to do. Love that short month between semesters!

I have two cards today, the first is for this week's challenge (frilly cards), and the other was meant for a past challenge (getting stripey), which I never managed to get posted in time. I think I made it when I was taking a break from studying for my Stats exam (cardmaking is therapy for me, clears the cobwebs, if you know what I mean).

 

So this one is one of the new fairies released this month. I never remember the names of these lovely ladies, and the computer is not (unfortunately) in my craftroom. I'm loving the smaller size of these stamps...you can embellish a little more. I made this flower using an MFT dienamics die, and sprayed it with some clear glimmer mist, then rolled it in some red glimmer mist to colour the edges a little. The lace centre is my "frilly"...I'm really not a frilly kind of girl, hope its enough.

 

This little lady is doing something I use to love doing...before I went back to school. Somehow reading because you have to is not nearly as much fun as reading because you want to:(

Thanks for looking.

Is It Spring Yet?

Remember last week I blogged about two dismal days of rain...well be careful what you wish for as they say...the next morning this is what we woke to...and yet another snow day (grand total this year=7), I don't ever remember 7 snow days in one year. We have had snow pretty much all weekend, and this week clever Mr. Weatherman is calling for warmer weather and sudden thaws...Awesome is all I can say! Any how, these pics are so pretty, I thought I'd blog them for posterity.

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.
