Bottoms Up

Today I'm playing along at the Four Seasons Challenge where this time it's SPRING! I go for a walk just about every morning and I'm always on the look out for new things. I've been spying lots of spring flowers and yes! You guessed it DUCKS!

I thought these two cheeky little guys that are "bottoms up" would make you smile! I'm always amazed at their antics!

The pond and ducks are from the Diving Swans die cut set. I added the cat tails from the Pond With Lily Pads Die Set.

The background is a Distress Oxide blend of greens and blues to look marshy. The finishing touch is the Better Together sentiment.

I hope you're smiling and that you discover something interesting today!

Pretty Pink Posh Instagram Hop & Giveaway!

It's a great day for a visit because Pretty Pink Posh is celebrating their May release with an Instagram Hop! The new collection features hummingbirds, teacups, florals, and more! This collection of products will take your paper crafts to new heights.

Die cuts are always my favorite, but this time I couldn't resist sharing a stamped card for the hop! Meet the new Hummingbird Floral stamp set! Just as the name implies it includes florals AND hummingbirds. You'll even find a few sentiments to finish off your design.

The clean line images were easy to color and look gorgeous in any color scheme you like. I used alcohol markers for easy blendability.

That background is new too! It's an A2 size cover plate called Scallops Pierced Plate. It takes a plain background from flat to textured!

And now the part you've been waiting for....

Head on over to Instagram - you can click here to jump to mine. Leave a comment by 5/20/25 on each stop for a chance to win a $30 gift card to Pretty Pink Posh each day of the Instagram hop.

Friends Are The Family We Choose

I'm so excited to share a card made with the new Pretty Little Studio Collection called Love Is Kind.

This collection focuses on love and friendship! The images are total eye candy... think gorgeous florals and beautiful butterflies. You'll also find a sprinkle of strawberries and cherries, bees and ladybugs. Summertime captured!

I love the papers that remind me of mixed media backgrounds. If you're not the best at mixing and matching prints, no worries because the papers are printed in a style that already looks pieced. It couldn't be easier to make cards that look fussy, but are flat and clean.

Of course you can expect all the extras.. journaling cards, die cut boarders, sticker stitches, tabs, frames and lots more.

I know you'll love this beautiful collection! It's really a feast for the eyes!  I'm linking up to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where this time it's all about FLORALS!

Snail Mail For Someone Special

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm playing along at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where this time it's Things With Wings!

I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Envelope Die to cut the base for this card and then inked it with Distress Ink using the coordinating Stencil.

I wanted the stencil striped background to coordinate with the rainbow colored envelopes so I blended colors as I went along the stripes using the Postage Collage Coloring stencil set.

I added a "snail mail" sentiment to coordinate with the little envelopes and some die cut butterflies in black for lots of contrast.

I hope you find some time to play today!
