Happy Anniversary with the Minis.

Hello friends! I have an Anniversary card to share with you. I made it for Angie and her hubby.  :) Anytime I make her something I try to use the deeper rich colors she likes. I am thrilled with the way this came out! I tried a little something different with my sky, mixing some colors to create a different looking sunset. It's really pretty in real life.

I used these new flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts! I've found a new favorite, Sweetheart Blossoms! They are a little smaller than Cherry Blossoms. I LOVE them! These darker toned roses are Wild Orchid's new Classic Color Line, they are so pretty.

This is also my card for Just Magnolia and hAngler. Our theme this week is Buttons, Bows and Bling! I do hope you'll join us!

I have been super busy lately and enjoying every minute of it! I want to thank everyone for always leaving me the sweetest comments. Each and everyone one of them mean a great deal to me! I have a hard time getting around and leaving comments myself so it means a lot when you take a minute to leave me a note!

Zoe and Mo's Carnival Blog Hop!!!

Clowns, Fairy floss, sticky fingers, squeals of delight and of course complaints of sore feet near the end of the day... Where are we?

THE CARNIVAL!!

Hopefully you have just hopped on over from Shirley's Blog. If you just popped on by to say g’day and want to join us on the super carnival hop then you’ll want to START HERE!

Zoe from Make it Crafty and Mo from Mo’s Digital Pencil, came together to share the delight and fun of The Carnival. To celebrate - the two fabulously talented teams have come together for a massive blog hop to offer you plenty of inspiration when playing with these images.

Along the way you will find balloons with a letter in them. Write down the letters as you go because at the very end we want you to guess what the saying is!

There will be THREE grand prizes randomly drawn from the correct answers PLUS there will be hidden prizes along the way so make sure you leave some love as you hop along!

Now we know this is a super big hop, but we wanted to make sure you would get LOTS of inspiration! The hop will be open until the 28th of April so you will have plenty of time to come back each day with a cuppa to soak it all up! (Just don’t lose the letters you have been collecting!)

We would like to thank our fabulous sponsors, Mo’s Digital Pencil, Make it Crafty, Stamping Bella and Quixotic Paperie for providing the fabulous prizes for this grand carnival hop!



In case you have trouble seeing my balloon – my letter is “E”

Make sure you leave a comment for a ‘possible’ chance at winning some hidden treasure

Whimsy Stamps Guest Designer and Sneak Peek!!!!!

Hi again! What a busy weekend of posts huh? I will be back tomorrow too for WOC Challenge and Wednesday... Today is the Sneak Peek for Whimsy Stamps, Kenny K Sneaks! I've never colored one of these images before but I always wanted to. I think the images are so cute! A little challenging in the coloring department. I'm so used to Magnolia Stamps. So this Darling Kenny K image is called Biker Girl. The sentiment is also in the upcoming new release over at Whimsy Stamps it's called  Party Mini Letter Seal Sentiments. Wait till you see them all!!!

I chose this image because this is my mom! She has a Harley, is blonde and is so the Life of the Party! I have a very young and hip mom :) Her Harley is louder than her boyfriends!!! So anyways my mom loves red and orange colors but I wanted my her to wear black leather so if I would have went with orange it would have looked Halloween-y sooo I did red. I tried to go for a cleaner elegant look.. I was having a little bit of mixed feelings.. what do you think?
