another week....another card

.
Good Morning!!

Here's a really cute card for your Tuesday morning.





The image is Whiff of Joy. The stamp is called Dancing Willow.

The sentiment "Happy Birthday" is from Stamping Bella.

I used copic markers to colour the image. I used: R11, R20, and R21 for her dress. For her skin I used E00. For her hair I used E11, E31 and E35. I used the perfect pearls to add a bit of sparkle to her necklace.

Enjoy.

it's finally here......

Hello, everyone.....it's SATURDAY!!!!

Just because it's Saturday it makes me want to smile. I am very excited for the weekend, except for the rain. So, in honour of the rain I thought I would share with you a card I created just for this occasion.



I found this stamp at my local Michael's and instantly fell in love with it. Don't you just love it too??? Let me know. Post a comment. Do you have your own boots, too?





The image is stamped on Stamping Bella's bestest paper with Momento ink.

The boots were coloured with Copic markers.

I also added some clouds using chalks, a light blue and a bit of grey to add some depth.





Enjoy, and I hope you have a great weekend too!!!

CROPTOPIA 2010

.
Hiya!

I am still recovering from Croptopia this past weekend. I had an amazing time. This crop was held at Camp Iawah in Godfrey, Ontario. This camp is beautiful. The really neat thing about this place is that it is always full of dragonflies when we come. It's specatular. Here are all the ladies. There were over 90 of us in attendance.



Here are my cropping buddies:

There is Clare, Veronica, Me and Rose, in our matching PJ's. We wore them Saturday night.



We had so much fun at this event. I took Friday off of work and spent the night at veronica's. Rose came Friday morning at 4am. Veronica (the master packer) was able to get all of our supplies into the car in twenty minutes. I think this was the fastest time so far.

We had a good trip out to the camp. Sadly, we were unable to pick lilacs this year as they were already past their blooming stage. We took a nap in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons as we were all pretty tired....not me though, I got a good nap on the way down. Thanks again Vern for driving.

We got to Iawah about 9ish. We got signed in and our stuff emptied out of the car. Then we got down to work. I got quite a few cards done. Here is one.



This is a new Stamping Bella stamp. It is part of the LULU collection. it is called LULU's wedding cake. I love how fanciful it looks on the card.



Here is the close up of the cake.

I chalked around the image with a rose colored chalk. Under the cake I used a bit of grey for the shadowing. On the cake itself I used copic markers, specifically: R81, R83, R85, YG23, R20 and R21. I used perfect pearls on the cake to add a bit of sparkle. I love how this card turned out.

I ended up staying up until 1:30 on Friday night, just working away. I was one of the last people to leave.





I was up again Saturday morning for breakfast about 7:30am, then back to scrapbooking. We didn't stay up too late on Saturday as I was pretty tired.

On the way to the rooms Saturday night Veronica and I saw this beautiful sunset. The picture doesn't do it justice.



We were up again Sunday morning for breakfast at 8:30am. We scrabooked until about noon. After lunch we were on our way home.

Here is another neat thing we saw on Sunday. It had attached itself to the netting at the doors. It's a moth. VERY NEAT!!



Well hoped you enjoyed.

A disasterous long weekend

.
Well the last few days have been interesting to say the least. I was supposed to go up and visit my sister at school in Waterloo this weekend, however, my body had a different idea. I ended up staying home from work on Thursday due to a very sore throat. I woke up Friday morning and it was worse so I ended up going to the walk in clinic. I was in and out within the hour which was fantastic, but the prognosis was strep throat. By Friday night, it was terrible. I ended up having to go to the emergency room as my glands in the back of my throat were so swollen I was having problems swallowing. The staff at the hospital were amazing. My doctor was great too. After looking at me and taking a throat swab, he thought I might have mono. I was not looking forward to that!! Luckily, that test came back negative. YAY!! So with some medication I was outta the hospital, feeling much better. I had a very relaxing rest of the long weekend.

I love The Greeting Farm stamps. Their images are so cute.

Here is their little gardener.





Here is the close up of the image. I coloured her with copic markers. I chalked around the image.

The fence is a punch by Martha Stewart.

oh rainy day.....

.
It is absolutely awful outside today....so I thought a card would make it better.





Here is the close up of the Bella. She was stamped with Momento ink on Bella's Bestest paper. I coloured her with Copic markers, and chalked around the image.

~enjoy~

I'm a total Klutz...

.
This weekend started out pretty great. Got some cards done friday night, got to sleep in Saturday morning. Then.....I walked down the stairs....

That's right, I totally fell down the stairs. I even managed to wake everyone up. Not the most pleasant way to wake someone up. Luckily I walked away with some really awful bruising, a sore little toe and a very sore back.

Now, to the good stuff. I got this stamp when I was in Kitchener. She is a Greeting Farm. Her name is Cheeky Glamour.





I used some scrap black and white paper I had in my bin. I think it is Basic Grey. I colored her using copics.

well, hope you like her.

enjoy!!
