Happy Easter

Good Morning! Happy Easter to my Christian followers! Easter sure crept up on me this year. As a nurse I am considered an essential employee, so with social distancing I go to work and venture out to the grocery store about once every 1-2 weeks. I make big Easter baskets for my kids every year, even though they are 19 and 21; they are light on the candy and I would fill them with fun items the kids like...books, video games, clothing, coffee pods, gift certificates, etc. Designing them is always such fun for me, but his year they are getting a deposit in their bank accounts!

Speaking of social distancing, I urge you to comply! It benefits you, your family, your friends, and health care workers. I know some do not understand the importance of this and think "It won't happen to me." but it can and you can spread it to your loved ones. The U.S. now has the highest number of COVID-19 related deaths in the world! Even more scary, it has not peaked here in the U.S.! As a RN working front and center during this pandemic, please stay home!

Those cute teeth made me pick this image as I was looking through all of Jodie's cute Easter images. Seriously though...those teeth! Love them! This bunny is colored with pencils and I've accented the eggs with glitter. The paper has been in my stash a long time; if you look closely you will see that it has a gold shimmer...it is so pretty in real life! Also, the paper I've used for matting is purple, not black...it did not photograph well...darn it! This is so pretty in real life! Here is a close-up:

Good morning, it's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch the Bug! Since St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching, I decided to break out a bit of green (and pink, of course!).

St. Patrick's Day...With a Pop of Pink

Good morning! It's Freebie Friday at Catch the Bug...today's freebie is the lovely Stella! I must say she looks a bit salty; pretty sure I wouldn't try to pinch her!

I've colored Stella with pencils and accented the shamrocks with glitter. I added some enamel dots for embellishing and then decided they were a "no". Note to self: Do not push so hard, because once they are stuck, they are stuck! So, enamel dots it is! Here's a close-up:

Christmas Chaos: Oldie But Goodie Wrapped in Chaos

Good morning!  Welcome back to Day 6 of Catch the Bug's Christmas Chaos!  Today we challenge you to create holiday packaging...we would like to see your holiday wrap, tags, bags, tins, etc.  The possibilities are endless!

I have a bunch of these "Hershey Nugget" tins in my stash; I like to have them on hand for a quick little gift.  Let's face it...there are not a lot of people who don't like chocolate!  (My favorite is Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Almonds and Toffee...yum!)  I've colored the image, matted it with a die cut, and added glitter to the Santa hat.  I used coordinating paper to wrap the Nuggets and the tin, securing them with a small piece of Sookwang tape  Voila'!  A quick and easy gift!  Here's a close-up of the Nuggets.  (Hint: a 1x3 piece of patterned paper is perfect for wrapping the Nuggets.)

Since St. Patrick's day is right around the corner, I decided to go with Lucky Birdbrain Chick; the image is colored with pencils and I've added a lot of glitter so it is nice and sparkly.  I pulled out a past From The Heart Stamps sketch and the twist that week was monochromatic so that was perfect for R.R. theme!  I did add just a splash of pink for color.  Here's the sketch:

Monochromatic Green....

with a Pop of Color!  Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight I got to choose the challenge and since St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I went with "Monochromatic Green with a Pop of Color".

I went with one of my favorites...Bugaboo's Stella!  I just love her sass...I sure don't think I would pinch her!  LOL  She is colored with pencils...do you see her pretty raspberry lipstick?  I took my "pop" of color from that and added some raspberry matting...I kept the layout simple otherwise.

Better Late Than Never....

Hello there!  We made a last minute trip out of town yesterday, so I didn't get this card posted.  I think this little Changito image is so cute...I love his tooth!

Changito is colored with pencils; his eyes are dotted with a gel pen and the shamrock is covered with a subtle glitter.  I used an embossing folder to add a bit of texture to the 2 green cardstock panels, and added some black brads and grosgrain ribbon for embellishing.  I like how this one turned out!

Note: I am wondering if there might be something wrong with me....  It seems I am only motivated to work with Changito these days!  I'm sure this phase will pass, so please bear with me.  (Wink!)

Creative Card Crew Challenge: Humor

Good morning!  Today brings another fun challenge, for this fortnight, from the Creative Card Crew.  Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps (love them!) and our challenge is humor....  Yay!  How fun is that?  I must confess that I had a hard time choosing an image...because I like so many of them.  In fact, I filled my cart and purchased a few!  (Wink!)

I chose Margaret to work with today...maybe I like her so much because she's a nurse like I am....  Anyway, she cracks me up!  She's colored with pencils and I added some glitter to her coins and buckles.  The foam of her green beverage is coated with carrara marble glitter for a bit of emphasis.  I used some black ribbon and Bella Dots for embellishing.  The sketch is from Stella Says Sketch.

Good morning! It's time for another challenge from the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog...this week we not only have a sketch, but a color challenge as well...blue and green. I'm really glad I took a second glance at the challenge, because I had forgotten about the blue and green and had pink, red, and cream paper laid out!

Our sponsor this week is Stampfairy. I just love Gerda's images; her bears are adorable! The image I received to work with is called Barry Winter 1. I love that Lenny is paired with a snowman, since it gave me the opportunity to break out the glitter!

The image is colored with pencils and highlighted with a black gel pen and glitter. I added an embossed panel, some ribbons and a layered snowflake. The DP has a lovely golden shimmer!

Note: In the photograph the greens clash, but in real life they are a perfect match. I wonder if the iridescent paper is the culprit?

Good morning! It's Tuesday, so that means Melissa has another fun sketch for us...check it out here at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.

I decided to go with my buddy Changito; I just love this image of him with a clover. He's colored with pencils and the clover has a bit of glitter on it, so it has a very nice but subtle sparkle. I used PTI ric rac dies for the black trim, and added a trio of Bella Dots for embellishing. For some reason, the green center panel doesn't appear to be the same shade of green as the DP, but I have the card sitting here and the match is perfect. Does anybody know how/why the different papers would photograph differently? I have noticed this before on occasion....
