More Brights

Wow! I guess I keep pulling out these bright colors because I'm ready for the grass to green up and the flowers to bloom... come on Spring!   ;D

 

These fun, fun stamped flowers are from The Crafts Meow. And the sentiment is so beautiful... gotta love the fonts that stamp set illustrators are using lately! This set is by NinaB and it's called Simply Delightful.

Well now I get to go try and make a dent in the laundry and that won't be delightful!

Hope you have a colorful day.

Notes and Ideas

Popping in with a bit of...well, alot of color! ;D  I adore making these note folios. The larger one is a jr size notepad, the skinny one is made from a jr. cut in half and the smallest is a post-it note holder.

This wild paper is from K and Company's Berry Sweet line. My little flowers are just some I punched and layered. I think all of us have these little flower punches in our tool arsenal!  lol

These pretty labels and notebook titles are from The Crafts Meow. Still playing with some of my newer stamp sets.  ;D  This is the Lovely Labels set by NinaB.

After stamping my labels using red ink on white cardstock...they needed something more, so after I was sure the stamping ink was dry I used a bright pink copic marker to color them in. Okay... so they went from bright to blinding! LOL  But they make me happy.  ;D 

I've had different office stores cut my jr. size notepads in half...but Staples does it most economically and more accurately. Maybe their cutting machine is better.  ;D

Thanks for stopping in...

Just one more...

I know Valentine's Day was yesterday... but I just have one last Valentine I wanted to share.  ;D

I just love these little sweethearts from The Crafts Meow!

Happy Owlentine's Day

Owls... stinkin' cute owls! I found these fellas at The Crafts Meow. They are so much much fun to play with. These guys are from the Happy Owlentine's Day stamp set and are illustrated By Jenny Suchin.      

Here's card #1:

I found these sweet Valentine papers by K&Co at Michaels. I especially like the turquoise with the pink hearts.  ;D

Here is card #2:

I have to say... I'm very pleased with the nice precise images I'm getting with The Crafts Meow stamps. Especially the sentiments. These papers are from K& Co too. All my shapes are cut with Spellbinder's dies. All inks are from Tsukineko.
