My 1st Lily Of The Valley GD

Morning !!!! How is everyone today??? I hope you all are doing great. I know I am I started my mini vacation today lol  And to start it out I have a card to show you today from my first Guest Designer Spot for the Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog.  I was so excited to be chosen to be there Guest for the month of April. These Lily Of The Valley images are just so adorable and so much fun to work with. This cutie is called Glamorous Gardening.  I colored her with my copic’s and have used some glamour dust on parts of the image.  The papers I used are from K&Co and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts I added some stickles to the flowers to give them some sparkle and I used the MS branch punch with the Magnolia leaf die.  I used a sentiment also from Lily Of The Valley  and I used the SU scalloped punch to cut it out, Spellbinder die was also used on the image. The lace I picked up when we went into the big city at Joann’s and  the daisy trim was in my stash.

Well I do hope you all will come and join us over at the Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog and as you know there are always great prizes.  Now go check out the new challenge which is SPRING and I can’t wait to see your lovely creations.

Oh it’s Monday and that means I am back at work lol But not for long lol I  only have to work 3 days this week. Taking off for a few days. YIPPEEE !!!

Well anyway today I would like to show you another one of these cutie’s from the Home Grown collection from Sugar Nellie. Oh I so love this one. Reminds me of the granddaughters playing dress up lol  She is called Dress Up Games !!! Now she is available over at Funky Kits already so go get your cart all filled up and get your sugar fix.  

I have colored her with my copic’s and have used some papers from Imaginisce. I used one of the large border punches from MS and some ribbon from my stash along with a bling flower. I used a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps and used there ticket die to punch it out. On my image I used the SU ticket punch and added some brads and spacers to the center.  I sort of used the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl But made my one piece sort of larger than their but  I got the idea from the sketch there.

Well you all have a wonderful week and will catch up with you all later. Got lots and lots to do before my days off so have a great week. Thanks so much for stopping bye and visiting me today and am sending you all big hugs (((((((((())))))))))

So for my first card I have one of the new Manga’s to show you from Sugar Nellie.  This cutie is Honey Bee !!! I so love these Manga images don’t  you?? Well they are available over at Funky Kits  now so make sure you check them out.

I just couldn’t wait for them to come on the site lol  For those of you that didn’t get to the show like me. OMG wait till you see all these sentiments !! Oh they are to die for.

I used a couple of ribbons from my stash for the card and that is it for this one I wanted it to be pretty simple.

My second card for today is this adorable Lily Of The Valley image she is called Tea Party.  She has been colored with my copic’s and I used a spellbinder die to cut her out. Now the challenge over at Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog this week is Punch It. So I have made a border with some punches and have made 3 rows kind of like a petticoat lace lol I used some pop dots to make each layer pop and then I used some ribbon from my stash for the bow. The flower is cut from a Marianne die and I have used some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and also punched the branch from the MS punch. The papers I have used here are from BG. I am also entering this into the challenge over at Color Create Challenge Blog where there theme is Pastels.

Nathaniel’s Bad Day

 

Happy Weekend!!!!

I just got home, and thought I would share a few pic’s with you. My grandson had to have tubes put in his ears today and his adenoids taken out so I haven’t been home long and thought I would  upload these photo’s before I get to working on some chores.

He done great really, before he had the surgery done he was playing away like always and when the nurses came after him he just went right with them.

Now waking up in recovery was a different story since his mom and dad wasn’t in there. But here he after getting to his room and he is still pretty cranky.

Now he is starting to feel better and is watching some cartoons. He just looks so comfortable here lol

Now we are feeling better, we are playing with all the toys they have in the hospital. Still has his IV in but he isn’t letting that stop him lol

Now we are really feeling good. We are heading out and boy is he ready lol

We all went and grabbed some food after we left and he even ate real good. Boy the kids just bounce right back don’t they???

Well thanks for checking out my photo’s. I hope to be back later this weekend with some projects to show you. Hugs
