It’s Saturday and I’m up bright and early…what’s up with that?!  I am not a morning person.  LOL.  So while I’m up, I’ll share another Stampavie card I made.

I was anxious to use this Tina Wenke image called Storybook Friends!  I just love these 2 girls on a bench!

And I love how Kittie uses these flowers on her cards so of course I just HAD to cave and buy the punch.  😉

Have a great Saturday!  I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for sun!

Happy Friday!  Today the E-Team from Eclectic Paperie invited the Stampavie DT to join them in their blog hop…what fun!   

Here’s a list of the participants in the hop…be sure to check out each one and leave a comment for a chance to win.  😉

Here I heat embossed the new Penny Johnson chandelier with black embossing powder.  The only coloring I did was a little yellow on the flames with a marker.  Then I added a bit of blue with a different medium… I added lots of tiny dots with Baby Blue Liquid Pearls.   Easy! 

The edges of the main image were torn and I brushed them with the edge of  my Versamark pad and embossed them with black e.p. 

I had to laugh at myself because before I started this card, I had in my mind that I wanted to make a black and white card with a little bit of turquoise.  LOL.  It has a little more turquoise than I envisioned but I like it nonetheless! 

I hope you enjoy the hop!  Many thanks to Daisy and her team for inviting us to play along!

Hello and happy Thursday!  We are all excited at Stampavie about the new Penny Johnson Vintage Collection!  It is so different and so FUN!  Today I used 2 of the new images and a sentiment from a third one.

Isn’t this Bird Cage fabulous?  Birds and their cages are so popular right now and Penny totally rocked this!

Besides the bird cage I also used the Garden Shelf image to create the background strip.  The left side of the image was stamped on the top of the layer and the right side of the image was stamped toward the bottom.  The bird and damask from the Bird Cage stamp were stamped separately over the Garden Shelf image.  Then the birds were lightly watercolored.  The damask was also lightly stamped over the side of the bird cage in the main image and a green marker was used on the keys to do the same.  The sentiment is from the Shabby Chic Frame.

I don’t think I can choose a favorite from this collection…I ♥ them all!  (But that’s usually the way it is with Stampavie, isn’t it?  LOL.)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  We’re almost to the weekend….YAY!  🙂

Hello!  It’s my turn to post on the Stampavie DT blog today and I have a card with Gillian Roberts’ Fiona.  I added a sentiment for a friend but she’d also be perfect for a Mother’s Day card, don’t you think?

I cut her out with the largest of the Labels 14 Spellbinders die but I still wanted a brown border so I traced the outside of the die and cut it out by hand.  The flower border is from the EK Success Daisy Chain punch and 2 of the flowers were trimmed off to place in the center of the bigger Retro Flower punch.

I hope you have a great Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Today I have a card with another cute Stampavie image from The CHA release.  This Laurence Design stamp called Hello! is just purrfect for many occasions!  I love the sweet Kitten’s face and the antique telephone.

The image was colored with Promarkers while I was at CHA and now I paired it with some DCWV Latte papers.  I used the Martha Stewart Hydrangeas border punch which I forgot that I purchased.  That doesn’t happen to you, does it?  😉  But I’m sure I’ll be pulling this one out again soon…I ♥ the little flower border it makes!  The center of the flowers were dotted with Stickles.

I did a little doodling around the image too.  I haven’t done much of that lately but I still really like the whimsical look that it gives.  The ribbon has a few pleats which are so easy to make when you stick it down with red-line tape.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and I wish you a very blessed Easter!

It’s raining today but ohhh…it’s been so nice to have temps above freezing!  We’ve had a busy weekend, though, full of fixing vehicles.  Dontcha hate car repairs?  I’m glad DH can work on them most of the time! 

I am anxious to get our hammock back out and that thought reminded me of a card I made that I haven’t shared yet.  I only had to add a sentiment but somehow it got tossed aside.  I adore this Gillian Roberts image called Kitty on the Swing! 

I really screwed this one up, though!  Can you tell?  I colored it with Heidi’s Promarkers while I was at CHA and was really happy with the results until I grabbed a paper trimmer that I wasn’t used to using and CHOPPED THE TOP OF HER HEAD OFF!  Aaugh!  Stuart got a chuckle over that one.  LOL.  And I was determined to still use this image…I loved the colors in it!  So I had to get a bit creative.  What to do?! 

I decided to add a strip of coordinating ribbon to the top of the image and hide the evidence!  LOL.  And I figured a few punched leaves I found would be the tree her swing was hanging from.  I think it worked out ok in the end…what do you think?

Here’s a close-up of the girl and the coloring with Promarkers.  Remember…it was my first time using them. 

There are so many ways to fix your mistakes…don’t be so quick to give up!  I was glad I didn’t toss this one in the trash.  ;0)

Have a great day!
