Pretty Flowers...

As the seasons change, it's always nice to see different floral digi's.  This one is from a friend Carol, that she shared on her blogsite (KCR Designs.com. ) 

I colored the flowers with my Spectrum markers and colored pencils. Finished them off using my chalks, and glossy accents plus a little shimmer.

The doilies, I found in a local craft shop along with the papers. For a little bling, the twine, bow and rhinestones were added. Sorry my photos aren't the best, I have really poor lighting in my home.

Enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Busy times....

This summer sure went by quickly this year. It seems there is never enough time to get things done before winter approaches. 

 I'm finally caught up a bit on the outside work, after losing almost all summer due to surgery and recovery.

Now the Holiday seasons, and Birthdays, start along with inside home repairs. As you can see, I'm way behind this year on crafty projects and cards.

Here are a few tags and one card I finished for any occasion. 

I used some beautiful hand drawn flowers shared from Carol over at KCR-Designs.  Thank you, Carol.

So for now, off I go, much to do and so little time. 

Enjoy...Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Enjoying my new stamps from my Unity Stamp win over at Beth's Beauties blog.

Here are a few of the cards I've made so far. I'm glad my family has a good sense of humor; they will get a kick out of these.

The beautiful Citrus panel on the 2nd card can be found over at Beccy’s Place Store, I thought it paired nicely with my Whiskey glass card.

Another fun card....

For this card, rather than a coffee drink, I opted for making it an ice-cream float for my granddaughter's 8th Birthday. Images are from Beccy's Place Cafe Elements collection.

I added some glitter pen doodling and the number 8 inside the float, some liquid pearls for more of an ice-cream effect, done.

A Beautiful

Wedding card made from Beccy's Place gorgeous images and text. 

I added glitter to her dress and a row of pearls on the bottom.  I went into my stash for the beautiful background card stock and decided it would be a perfect fit.  I also had a pretty piece of scrap lace left that was just enough to finish off my card.

My desk is

filled with goodies to paint.  

I've had some fun time, cutting things on a Glowforge 3D laser printer, thank you, my friend. 

The animal scenes will be gifts, the cutout detail is just amazing and in minutes verses hours. 

Here's what I made; I still need to paint them, looks like I'm going to be busy.
