Red Green and Neutral

This is my last card for the challenges over at Flourishes for their August release.  We are challenged to use red, green and a  neutral for this one. Here's my take on it:





I used my new Zinnia set and colored it up with my copics. I added some ribbon from my stash along with a crochet flower (one of my hoarded flowers lol). 

I hope you like it.  We're having farm fresh corn for supper tonight.  I'm looking forward to that. August is a great time of year for fresh produce.

See you soon!

Yummy Strawberries

It's strawberry time again. I really miss that this  year. With the flood that happened here in Manitoba, there weren't many to be had, so I didn't get any picking in at all.  Good thing I have some jam left over from last year.



Plain and simple today.  Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all your comments. I sure appreciate each and every one.

It's a scavenger hunt

at the Flourish's Blog!  And I'm joining in! Here's my card:





I used my new Zinnia stamp set and created my card using all the items I was required to.  This was alot of fun.  Now I'm off to try another challenge, in between baking banana bread because when you've got 24 over-ripe frozen bananas that's what you've got to do!

Puurfect Friends



I haven't used a Prairie Fairy image in ages and when I saw one of these new releases, I just had to have her.  She's another Gillian image and she's called Puurfect Friends.  I fell in love with the blue in the inspiration photo at Prairie Fairy Fridays and that started off my card.  Everything just seem to fall into place after that. Of course, I got to use my new Authentique paper--don't you love that new company?!!!!!  If you haven't seen their papers yet, be sure to keep your eye out for them. They are just plain gorgeous!  I know what I'll be hoarding now.  LOL

I've got a free day so I'm off to create.  Hope you are having a good day where ever you are.

Sweet Sugar

Here's a cute stamp from the Sugar Nellie collection....love those big eyes!







She's called Bad Hare Day.  LOL   I had a great get together with the ladies from the Brandon Charity Scrapbook Convention committee.  I stamped some images that I hadn't used before and took them with me. I sure had a productive day.  I think the grand total was 7 cards....which is great considering all the visiting and fun we managed to have amidst our hard work!

Anything But A Card Sunday

It's Sunday so that means I get to show you one of my creations for Paperworks Co. I'm just loving the challenge I've been assigned this month. Today I decided to make a different kind of treat box. Check this out:


I used one of the Cutie Patootie Collection for this creation. It's called Ice Cream Bear.  I filled him with Hershey Kisses...who wouldn't love this treat?!!!!  Why don't give this challenge a try?  If you'd like to give this a try, here is the tutorial I used.

Shades of Sunset

I'm inspired by the challenge over at the Flourishes blog called Shades of Sunset.  Here's my interpretation:





I used the Spring is Sprung set and stamped the bunny in versamark and then sprinkled it with chocolate shake embossing powder.  I sponged a variety of SU inks on the copic paper.  The dp is from Kaiserkraft. Ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

I hope you like my interpretation.
