Just Had To Share These



Today my sweet husband worked very hard planting all the plants we had recently purchased at a few of our local nurseries. While digging around he discovered this beautiful Clematis (top photo), full of blooms that were near the ground & hidden by a clump of ferns. It is so pretty & it was such a lovely surprise that I just had to take a photo of it & share it with you. The second photo is another pretty Clematis that just seems to get hundreds of blooms. I do love my garden & since the flowers are starting to pop I hope you don't mind if I share the odd flower photo with you.
Have a blessed Sunday.

A Tag


Yes, another post. I promise it is the last one for today. This is a tag I made using one of the beautiful digital images by "a day for daisies". I love the whimsical look of these images. I coloured it with Copics. Used a 3 heart corner punch & a Tim Holtz's die on the outer edge & corners of the tag. I distressed the edges with a Distressing tool & ink. Added a couple of flourishes & a layered flower with a heart brad center to the top of the tag. Finished it up with some pretty ribbon.
Thanks for taking a peek & for being so understanding with my crazy posting.
Hugs & sweet dreams,
Nancy

Glad you stopped by, hope you are doing well. My card today features one of the many the cute digital images by Melissa over at Meljen's Designs. I used Copics to colour her . The DP is by MME. Added a few gem stones & a pretty 3D butterfly to finish this card off. Sentiment is a rubber stamp.

Sometimes I Sit & Think...


Good morning to you. Hope your day goes really well. My card today features another of Mo Mannings wonderful images, "Before the Fall". My DP is by MME.  I kept this card simple since it will probably go to a man & they're not usually impressed with buttons, bows or flowers. Sentiment inside says:
Sometimes I sit and think.
Other times I sit and forget.
Sorry I missed your Birthday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello


My how time flies, seems like I just posted my Kaboodle Doodles' DT challenge card & here we go again!. This week at KD we would love to see CAS. Yep, clean & simple. Our sponsor is Meljen's Designs & Melissa is offering 4 of her cute images to the creator of this week's winning card.
Now, first off I have to say that the CAS style does not come easy for me. I tend to fill in all the blank spaces with lots of colour & embellishments. But I also have to admit that I found this card quite fun to make. It actually came together really quickly! I used one of Melissa's images ( I think it was one of the first freebies I ever got) & coloured it in with Copics. I kept the colour scheme down to just 2 - orange & white. I did have to add a bit of dimension to my card so I folder embossed the white & stitched around the outside. To add just a bit more personality to it I added a bit of ribbon & a real button. 
Thanks for stopping by & your sweet, sweet comments.
Hope to see your projects linked up at KD.

CDACPC17

Hi there. Glad you stopped by. This is my card for the progressive challenge over at CDAC. This sweet image is by "Designed 2 Delight". DP's are leftovers from my stash, as are the ribbon & metal heart. Used a Tim Holtz's die to cut the scalloped edge.

Black & White

So glad you decided to stop by to take a peak. My card for today features a pre-coloured vintage digital image that was a freebie. I love the half coloured/half black & white look.  My papers are all from my stash box, as are the brads, buttons & clips. I cut the flowers using a Spellbinder die & tehn folder embossed them.
Wishing you sweet dreams.
Nancy
