How is everyone on this wonderful Sunday? It is a rainy wet day here in "Sunny Central Florida." What is on your agenda today? I hope you are able to get crafty...I am going to continue crafting by FaceTiming with my two friends...but first hope to get the total mess of a craft room cleaned up and ready for the week.

Let's jump into the card for today.

I am not sure who makes this image. This baby chick is checking out this little

Spring & Easter Card Series #2

I am so not getting off to a great start here...yesterday's post I totally did not get my card added until today and here it is 8:10PM and I am just now getting my card posted for today. Hopefully, the rest of the week will go better ... at least all the cards are created!

I have spent the past two weeks working on Easter cards for a donation to a nursing home my friend works at. So glad I can spread some cheer.

I used Copic Markers to color the tulips.
The stamp is: Spring Tulips by Sweet & Sassy
The Paper is from my stash I am unsure of the brand.
The sentiment is from Doodlebug Designs Hoppy Easter Stamp.

Make sure to stop by Cardmaking Blonde to see what she has up today!

Spring Card Series with Cardmaking Blonde.

Let's try this card series collaboration again. I didn't do so well in carrying out the series...I am GOING to complete this one! (I am really telling myself that) rather than all my viewers and followers.



So join me here and Kimberly over at Cardmaking Blonde to take a peek at some awfully cute spring and Easter cards.

Yesterday was a very busy busy day and I did not get around to coming back here to post my card.

I was recently in the La-La Land Crafts first ever Happy Mail swap. I was so excited to do this fun fold card. I used the July 2018 Club La-La Land Kit Garden Marci and the sweet little garden fairies to complete this card. I had so much fun making this fun fold card that I know I will be making some more.

I colored Marci and the fairies with my Copic markers.
I pulled out a very old Echo Park paper Pad from my stash for the pattern
paper. I followed the tutorial I found on YouTube at Teri Pocock-Stampin Magic's channel

It was such fun to decorate all the panels on this card.

I did my back flap panel a little differently cause I wanted to make sure I could use
my last little garden fairy.

Thanks for stopping by and being patient with me.

Coffee Card Series Week | Card #2-4

I sure hope you enjoyed yesterday's card. Today, I have 3 for you. I am so very sorry it is up so late today. My head has been buried in taxes ALL day long. Finally done though!

So, onto the cards...Kimberly and I are sharing some coffee cards with you this week. Check out hers over at Cardmaking Blonde.

My 3 cards were all made finishing off the Echo Park Coffee paper I had from the January 2019 Flavor of the Month card Kit.

This card uses the Echo Park Coffee paper and  an MFT stamp set
Sweater Weather in the Woods.
 (This set is not in stock at Scrapping for Less , but Sweater Weather on Safari is available)
I also used the Coffee Dot Stencil by Echo Park behind the bear.

For this card I used more of the Echo Park Coffee Paper and the ephemera
that came with the collection. 

Finally, for my last card I used a sticker package and more of the paper.

See you tomorrow :)

Coffee Card Series Week | Card #1

Good Morning,

Grab a cup this morning and join my good friend Kimberly and I today and the rest of the week for a coffee card series. We have been wanting to do this for a very long time so we finally got together recently and planned it all out! So exciting! Her blog is fairly new so it would be wonderful if you would jump over there and follow her and give her some blog loving! Cardmaking Blonde is her blog...she makes some fab cards and is on the DT for Scrapping for Less!

Ok on to the card for today...it is only 1. Tomorrow will be a group of cards...well cause I was on a roll the other day.

I used the following supplies:

Your Next Stamp "Cup Full of Joy"
Echo Park 6x6 Paper Pad: Coffee
Gina Marie Designs Die: Drop Penant
Copic Markers

I decided to color all the cups a very pale neutral color so it would allow the colors to pop. This sweet card will be going out to someone this week. 

Head on over to Cardmaking Blonde to check out her card for today.

Another great reason to comment on each blog other than leaving a blogger feeling warm and fuzzy inside, is so you can also win with some blog candy too!

I love Sunshine so when I heard about this hop I immediately said, " IM IN"!

This is what I have made for you today, this makes my day feel like there is a little more sunshine in it.

My layout today is for my daughter who lives all the way in Oregon...so I (her mom) and my youngest daughter (her sister) and my grandchildren ( here niece and nephews) decided we would send her a box of Florida Sunshine. I gave her several years ago one of those really nice Creative Memory Wall Hangers that you can put up layouts on. Well, she does not scrapbook so my job is to keep it furnished with scrapbook layouts throughout the year. (Something I fail miserably at!) So I jump at the chance to create a layout for her. So when the theme of this blog hop was announced I knew that was perfect. Due to it being the very end of the school year and end of baseball season we were crunched for time to get the rest of the box ready. If you come back here on Thursday of this next week I will have a pic of the rest of the box for you. My grandchildren are working on creating something for "their" Aunt Holly...whom they adore I might add! So, here is my layout...Aunt Holly came during the summer of 2011 and we went to Epcot one day while she was here. This is a picture taken of the three kids and her while there. She will be very excited about this layout.

Now for the good stuff!

Our sponsor today is Ellen at CardMonkey's Paper Jungle.

#20

Challenge:   Use a Bike

Dates:  May 21-27,  2013

Hello Everyone.  I scrapbook a mixture of whatever inspires me  along with a little dab of chronological scrapping. Cause they HAVE to go in those albums in a very orderly fashion...heehee. So today, I have a layout from Easter 2011. It was a very special one cause both of my children that live here were there. That does not always happen. Well, I hope you like the layout and get inspired to "take a ride" down memory lane!

I used Echo Park's Sweet Day Collection for this layout along with some bling and pearl embellishments.

So head on over to Cuttin' and Stampin' to see all the other inspirations for this week.
