Howdy everyone! I'm so excited to share that when I hopped online to read a few emails, one of the ones I read was the announcement from Kristy at Kuttin Kards that I have made her first DT for Buttons and Bows! I am super excited as her talent is absolutely amazing - and if you run over to her blog, you'll see one scrumptious donut recipe with photos to match - DELISH! Buttons have ALWAYS been one of my favorite embelllies to use on my card making -- and hers are mind boggling amazing in creativity and craftsmanship. Take a peek!
And I have a card for you! I have been meaning to play along in the Cowgirl UP blog challenges since my sweet friend April made the DT, alas, time has been my adversary! But I'm here this week! There is a rule of 3's this week, using 3 different designer papers and 3 different flowers. The minute I saw this darling digi stamp called "Lil Bit", I had to have her - she reminded me somewhat of a little Holly Hobby which I loved as a little girl!! I colored her with my prismas and love the vibrant scene of flowers and fence she is standing next to (oh, not the way I colored her, rofl! the way it was drawn, hee hee!) I continued the color palette by adding some various flowers from prima and beyond in colors of tan, brown, vanilla, olive and harvest gold - I just mixed and matched them to size and added, of course, a button in the middle with some embroidery floss to anchor it :) I'm way overdue for sending a special friend a card and I hope this one will do!
Entered into the following challenges:
Blessings to you this Monday -- fortunately for me I am not volunteering anywhere today and rescheduled my "coffee time" with my super fab mom friend and plan to rest and catch up on my tornado strewn house!
Hugs!
