Birthday Elephants

 My oldest daughter made me a birthday card with my favorite animal. She did a fabulous job with her ink blending and coloring. 

Valentine's

My littlest one (5 years old) wanted to make some Valentines for teachers and friends. I pulled out my Altenew All The Hearts. She told me the colors and helped me push the stamps. She insisted on the Washi tape and glitter.

Hydrangea

I received Altenew's Garden Hydrangea for Christmas. I has a little too much fun stamping bouquets in different colors. I loved Altenew Color challenge, so I made this card.

Thanks Climbing Clematis

I saw Altenew's Color Inspiration and thought I'd try a new color combo with my Clematis set. I love the striking colors.

I took a layering class from Altenew Academy and I loved Lydia's layout idea with the Dainty Roses mirroring each other from opposite corners. A fun layout with a lovely result. Thanks for the idea!!

Build A Flower Stargazer

Lilies are one of my favorite flowers. When I saw this BAF Stargazer Lily, I knew I wanted it for Christmas. So happy to create with it. Thanks Lydia for the great tips on Layering in your All About Layering 4. I'm still pretty new to Altenew's Layering stamps so every tip helps!

Come, Let Us ADORE HIM

Love this sweet, little set with this little babe of Bethlehem. I am so grateful for the birth of my Savior.

Mice on Ice

I had a joyful time creating with these sweet, little critters. My five year old was painting, so I grabbed two of her water-color markers to draw the ice and trees, then added my little mice to the pond.

O Holy Night

I love images of the Nativity. This sweet little babe always comes out at Christmas.

Meowy Christmas

I know a young lady from my church group who LOVES cats. So when I saw this set during STAMPTEMBER, I knew I had to get it. My little five year old loved it so much she made a card for her BFF Infinity.

Christmas Trees

I loved my Pink Christmas trees, I decided to try some different color combos. I love them!!

Christmas Pink

I saw Simon Says Stamps Monday and Wednesday challenges for Pink and Christmas. Simon Says Stamp Be Joyful fit both of them.

Jump for Joy

I love fall and these adorable critters from Lawn Fawn's Jump for Joy. I love playing in the leaves and checking out the gorgeous colors as I drive around town.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

I decided to start my epic Christmas card making with this snowman and little birdie. I love all the sparkle and glitter!!

Honey Bee Fall Beauty bouquet

I love this gorgeous floral bouquet from Honey Bee Stamps. I spent a couple of hours coloring it over the weekend. It's going to a dear friend and her sweetie to thank them for their love and support. I love mums and Fall. The colors of Fall are so lovely. The air is so crisp. It makes my heart happy to watch the leaves change their gorgeous colors. It's so fun coloring this beautiful bouquet in lovely Autumn colors.

Avery Elle Windmill

I saw this at the store when my mom took me to Whimzee's to get some goodies. When I saw Avery Elle "Windmill", I fell in love!! No idea why, it's not my normal style, but I love it. I had fun with the windmill moving with the brad.

I have a friend who surprised me with an unannounced visit. She said in essense "God told me to stop by. I don't know why and I've been putting it off, but He would LET ME ALONE, so here I am." I was so touched and felt God's love. She was my angel that day and helped me in so many ways. I wanted to send her my thanks and something to cheer her and let her know she was my angel.

Honey Bee Fall Beauty

I was excited when I saw Honey Bee and Simon Says Stamp collaboration. Such a gorgeous floral image with great sentiments. I have some amazing friends who have been helping me through a challenging time. These flowers are a perfect Thank You!
