You've Got Mail!

My almost 4-year-old granddaughter loves to get mail from her Nanny. I’ve sent her a couple of cards recently which she keeps on display in her room.  BE STILL MY HEART!!!  So, when I was thinking of what to get ready to send her another card, I thought about these sweet Pure Innocence stamps sets from My Favorite Things Stamps.  So, I pulled them out and colored this one up with my Copic markers.  Isn’t she the cutest little mail delivery person ever???  Can you find where I used my red Copic marker?

·      Stamp set(s):  MFT - Pure Innocence You’ve Got Mail SS  

·      Ink(s):  Distress Oxide – Broken China; Versafine Claire - Nocturne

·      Paper:  PTI – Stamper’s Select White; MFT – Plaid Patterns 6x6 pad

·      Dies & Embossing folders:  PTI – To the Point Edgers and Skinny Mini Banners Dies; MFT – Up in the Air and Pure Innocence You’ve Got Mail Die-Namics

·      Embellishments/Other things of note:  Wink of Stella – Clear

I’m going to post this on PTI’s Win It Wednesday challenge for the week of February 20 – 27.  It’s about using stand-alone dies.  While the focal image isn’t a PTI product, I love the way that I can use PTI’s Skinny Mini Banners dies for all those little sentiments we all have in our stash.  I also used another stand-alone die to create the hillside behind our precious little mail carrier.  When we can use our products across all of our collection, it makes them an even better value!  I’ll also post this for the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge, Day 24!

Hoping you’re having an awesome Sunday.  The sum is actually out here in NC!  AND, we are supposed to see it all of this week!  Yippee!!!!  We’ve had a very wet 12+ months here and we are due some sunshine!  Have a great week everyone!  

Many Blessings,

Up In The Air Birthday for Wyatt!

My husband’s great nephew turns 3 this month and it’s a real occasion for little Wyatt.  We saw him in December when my husband walked his niece down the aisle when she got married.  It was a lovely wedding and we got to see a lot of Wyatt!  Such precious memories were made that day.  Wyatt is all boy; cute, active and wide open and curious. We needed a special card for the occasion and this stamp set fit the bill to a “T”!  I knew immediately that this set would be perfect.  In fact, I can see Wyatt going up in a hot air balloon. He’s going to be an adventurous little guy and young man!

I colored the images with Copic markers and sponged on the distress markers for the background.  I submitted this on Day 3 of the Daily Marker 30 Day coloring challenge running this month. The enablers list is below!

·      Stamp set(s):  Up in the Air SS & Big Birthday Sentiments SS  

·      Ink(s):  Memento – Tuxedo Black; Ranger – Distress Oxides: Peeled Paint & Broken China

·      Paper:  Copic X-Press It Blending Card; PTI – Bright Buttercup

·      Dies & Embossing folders:  MFT – Up in the Air Die-namics & Stitched Fish Tail Flags

·      Embellishments/Other things of note:  Copic Markers (see photo below); Wink of Stella Clear

     I love how this card turned out – inside and out.  The bright primary colors were just perfect to celebrate a third birthday for our great nephew!  Happy Birthday, Wyatt!  May the Lord bless you on your day and always!

             I do love the way this card turned out!  It's just so stinking cute with those lively little images and critters from MFT Stamps!  Thank you for stopping by and spending some time in my little piece of the world.  I'd love to hear what you think about my card!

Many Blessings,

Winter Princess Smiles

             My granddaughter, Malin, LOVES Elsa from Disney’s Frozen movie.  I was on the internet and found this stamp set on Instagram I think.  I knew I had to have it.  Since it’s a digital stamp from Isabel Cristina Stamps, I had immediate access to it and here’s the card I made using MOJO Monday Sketch #507! (Julee, I’m so glad you brought this back!  I’ve missed it!)  I’m very happy with the outcome, and I think Malin will love having an Elsa card to go with her Frozen Power Wheels!  You should see her drive – check my Instagram account (dloates2005) for a video of her doing just that in her yard!

It’s so good to be doing a sketch challenge again. Now that my craftroom is back and ORGANIZED with my new DreamBox, I hope to have more MOJO – yes that’s an intended pun – and get more going on in my craftroom as I look to start a cardmaking enterprise soon.  We are getting ready to move this spring, so I’m not sure when that will be happening, but we will see.  Praying all goes smoothly with the sale of our townhome here and just the perfect place in the Greenville, SC area.  Thank you for stopping by! I’d love to hear your thoughts about my creations I post here, too!

Many Blessings,

Donna
