Happy Sunday all. I am cranking them out 🙂 I am sure there will be a lull in the action here shortly. But go when the going is good don’t you think. Here are the last two cards from my little stack, these are both made with Taylored Expressions stamps. I just made the connection that Taylor (the owner) is a friend of a friend and not only that she lives in my town so much fun to meet others that love this crafty world! I love the stamps that Taylored Expressions is selling the rubber cling are my absolute favorite and who does not like a smiling cupcake?! There is something wrong with you if you raised your hand. “Cuppie” is too cute! Taylored Expressions has a whole crew of characters and fun product, (besides that she seems extremely nice and has a great smile!) so if you are a crafter you might just want to take a peek. I of course colored my images with my Copics and will be sharing both these cards with friends this week!

Hi all here are two more of the cards I created this weekend. I will have two more to share tomorrow. I am saving 2 cute ones from a local stamp company that I just discovered I have a friend connection with! The “bun in the oven” stamp is a idea lift from the current challenge over at iCopic i saw this stamp there and just had to have it! iCopic’s challenge this week was cast shadows. these are not some of my best but they will do for a quicky card.
This next card is made with a set of stamps made by Unity. Love their stuff as well. So I have been busy getting a little inky.
Sara is off on a Girl Scout adventure tonight yikes!! And Lori John and I hit Chick-fil-A for lemonade, YUM! Happy Saturday all!
Hugs

A quick post to show off my latest card. This one is another beautiful image from Michelle Perkett and fulfills the challenge over at her blog. The challenge was to use die cuts of which I have very few, but the little flower is two layered die cuts that have been colored to match. It also works for the challenge over at iCopic they are exploring blond hair this week. My Spring Goddess is a dark blond and I used Copic YR31, Y23, Y26, and E35 to create her golden locks.
We are closing in on recital here at the Houghton house! 3 days to go woo hoo. I think we are all ready to be done this year.
Hugs all!

Happy Tuesday all!
Long day here but wanted to get lots of stuff up here and then I will go to bed. We were at dress rehersals today for the majority of today so we are all wiped out. Recital this Saturday and dance is done. I recorded the dress rehearsal so I will post those later this week.
First here is a layout I made for the current challenge at A Day For Daisies. They have a wonderful card sketch that of course I have turned into a layout 🙂 The image is one of Tammy Thompson’s beautiful creations and could not have been more perfect for my family!
Here is a close up of our bear and two girls 🙂
I think this is quickly becoming a favorite image of mine! It is a creation of Michelle Perkett and I love how quick and easy it is to color and adapt to any set of papers! So fun!
And to top it off my Mermaid images were chosen (randomly) as the winner of last weeks challenge at Michelle Perkett’s challenge Blog! Thanks ladies!

Well this week I am playing catch up! Not only do I get to participate in a few challenges again (because my class is all turned in! YIPEEEEE!) I also have an enormous pile of birthdays and events to send belated cards too! Better late than never right?!! Right?!! So here is my first one that I am sending out to a dear friend. I am also completing it for a challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio’s challenge blog we were creating Mother’s day cards. They have a fun month going on there.
This next one is going out for a belated birthday and the image is also from Michelle Perkett. She is one of the fabulous guest artist’s in my upcoming class!
On the family front we have two weeks left of dance. 3 weeks left of other after school activities and 4 weeks left of school. So I better get anything done quickly that I need to get done before I have to monkeys tagging along for the summer 🙂
Hugs!
