You're Stuck With Me...Just Us Girls Challenge #478~Trend Week

Hello,

Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. Reminder, for those who 'change the clocks' that we're "springing ahead" early Sunday morning. An hour less sleep; an hour 'more' daylight.  I don't mind the trade off *grin*

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #478~Trend Week, where our lovely Bobby invites us to use a Background Stamp on our cards/projects. 
Our March guest designer is fabulously talented Greta Hess; please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

Finally a change to use the Concord & 9th To the Point turnabout, made super easy (I even used 8 different inks...yayyy me) with the accompanying template and jig.  I LOVE those sweet succulents! So much fun! I'm in cacti heaven!



Over to you...

Looking forward to a gallery filled with an array of amazing background stamping!

Thank you for dropping by!


You're A-Maze-ing...Happy Little Stampers March 2019 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge

Hello,




Today, I'm bringing you a trio of the 60 (yes, 60!) maze mini cards (MFT products) created for my niece and nephew's classmates. They both have birthdays in March, so these will be shared with their classes, along with my sister-in-law's 'specialty' fizz bug treats. My nephew loves mazes...so he was 110% the inspiration for these!




Here's they, en masse....


Please visit my teammates; their creations are wonderful and, if you have a moment, leave them some love. I know they'll be thrilled!

Looking forward to seeing your Anything Goes with Dies cards/projects in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Hello,

Hope you're having a much warmer day than we are; current -42C! Seriously! ENOUGH with the cold! The blue, cloudless sky though...now *that* I'll take!

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers March 2019 CAS Challenge, where we're inviting you to celebrate a 'special day' with your creations this month. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations...whatever is 'special' to you is certainly special to us!


I've been seeing a variety of vintage images around the blog-iverse of late, be they record players, phones, typewriters soooo...went through my collection to find my little 'old fashioned' typewriters.  Fun to give them a play....and to believe that love stories 'do' come true!


That's it from me; please head over to the blog to see how  my talented teammates interpreted this month's theme. A reminder that we're looking for CAS designs.

Yappy Birthday...Just Us Girls Challenge #477~Word Week

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #477~Word Week, where our lovelyVicki has selected 'birthday' as our theme. Excellent choice, especially since March is birthday month for both my niece and nephew. In addition to making cards for them, I've been work away on mini cards for all their classmates/teachers...you'll see snippets of those soon!



Our March guest designer is fabulously talented Greta Hess who, like me, is mom to a miniature schnauzer! Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

Speaking of birthdays and mini schnauzers...here's the card Lily *made* for my niece, who turns 9 (yes, NINE!!!) on the 3rd! This growing up stuff is happening way too fast!  My colouring of this MFT pooch doesn't do justice to my real life cutie pie but...I tried. Lily's good with it *grin*


Okay...couldn't resist sharing a photo of our little girl, who's also growing up way too quickly!


Over to you...

Looking forward to a gallery filled with birthday cards/projects galore!
