Happy Monday with a Card!!

thinkingofyou

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! I always say that because let’s face it, Monday rarely gets any love from most.  Friday is always the best day since it’s heading into the weekend. But I decided to turn that around and think of Mondays as a day of new opportunities. It’s the glass is half full approach to turn my mood into something more pleasant.

Despite that I am working on fumes today since Apollo woke me at 2:25 this morning saying he had a bad dream and I had to go sit with him until he began to doze. We don’t have that happen much now that the boys are older but when it does, my day ends up being a bit off.  So pardon any typos today.

The photo above is a card I made for one of my crafty friends that has recently undergone some surgery. The bear is from an old Fiskars stamp set that I like and never used.  I colored him up on some Copic XpressIt paper and cut him out and raised him with pop dots.  I love his round belly.  I hope he makes her feel happy when she sees it.

Anyway, today I plan on doing some more coloring and some other housekeeping for Belinda’s Crafts.

I hope you have a blessed day!

New Easter card

eastercard1I have this cute digi from Saturated Canary and I just knew I had to use if on some Easter cards. I am so thrilled how this card came out. I also like when I use a lot of products that have been in my possession for a very long time with little or no use. Such is the case with this burlap paper. I bought this over a year ago at Joann’s and never used it. I thought of the idea of trying to cut it with my spellbinders. So I picked simple shapes and with a few pass overs, I was able to make the cut.  I haven’t tried cutting it on my Silhouette but if it cuts it, I am going to be one happy girl. eastercard2The burlap paper makes me think of an Easter basket or hay so I thought it would be a nice accent on the card. I like the texture it adds.  It is on sale now at Joann’s if you want to give it a go. I hope my sister-in-law isn’t reading because I put it in the mail today and I would hate to ruin the surprise.

Have a blessed day!
