PTI March Blog Hop

This month was a fun spring picture that we used as a jumping off point. Izzy is the one who found the purple and pink in the picture, I would have missed them completely! Sorry that these colors are looking so vibrant, it really is spring moss, aqua mist, melon berry, plum pudding and daffidol delight from su.
I also have one of our outside projects we have been working on, no flowers in the flower pot yet, but we have some great new Tulips we are loving. We also realized that we REALLY need to get mulch this year!
It's a good life!

Forever working on projects LOL!

I do have another card to share today for the PTI blog hop. I wanted to make sure I got this one in for MIM before I forgot LOL! I used the color Q challenge as well. 

I do feel like we have been working on all kinds of projects this year. Wether in the stamping room, our home or work. Maybe this will be the year of projects, who knows LOL!
So this is the new floor in our master bathroom, we are very excited. It is 99% done, we are just waiting on our crawl space cover to be tiled then it is done. I need to clean that room and work on getting that back together today.
We also have 2 fun new creatures for our garden. Is anyone else starting the outside work really early this year? We have had unseasonably warm weather this year, so we are out working away. Randy mowed the lawn for the first time this year yesterday and today.
Cece "had" to have this one LOL!
I will be back soon with my PTI blog hop card!

Partly to Mostly AWESOME!!!

Okay, I know it doesn't take much to get me all excited, but I am LOVING paper smooches! It is such a fun and playful compnay. Here is my latest creation. I used distress and some perfect pearls mist. Jennifer McGuire totally gave me this idea in the Clean and Simple class, but I never busted it out, but it seems perfect for playing around with the Creative Chemistry 101 Izzy and I LOVE it. Tim really embrases the messy creative side and it really is a lot of fun to let go and play with all of these fun supplies. 
This great sketch is from Skipping Stones sketch challenge. That is another company I have been eyeing. Maybe I will get to try them out soon as well :)  I am also putting this cutie in the PaperSmooches inspiration challenge.  I was super inspired by the rainbow colors in the bunny ears.  Fear  not, I have a fun spring card in mind as well.  It seams I just can't get enough of these quirky and fun stamps.  It is quickly becoming on of my favorite companies (this is after just one order can you imagine after I have a few more sets to play with LOL!)

It's a good life!

Good times!

I am blessed to be in the AWESOME Tim Holtz class. Serriously, worth every penny! I am not a layer it, distress it grunge it kind of stamper, but I am really like learning about these products and making it work for me. 
I am also LOVING PaperSmooches!  It is such a fun comany with great, playful designs.  I can't wait for my next chance to order.  Wahoooo!!!  This is a fun card I made with the first technique he taught. Love it!!!

It's a good life!

Color Q round 2

I had to make another card with the copic coloring technique and the color Q colors this week. I liked them both so much. I wanted to try it again LOL!
The copis are more vibrant, which I love! What do you think?

It's a good life!

PTI pal challenge

Well, I am the biggest blog slacker! Life has been busy and since I am mostly a weekend stamper and I had a marriage conference last weekend, I missed a lot. Sorry about that! This is a card I made for the Color Q challenge, the Make it Monday challenge and my super fun PTI pal challenge from Anna. She challenged me to use this stamp set that Dawn created. 
The worst thing about it is I can't remember the name, sheesh! I think that is the sign that I have too many stamps from PTI. Okay, I just looked it up it is Glory Be.  I heat embossed everything before I used the water and reinkers, but it is hard to tell here.  I am going to be killing you with posts this weekend, I appologize in advance.

It's a good life!

make it Sunday

Here is my take on the Make it Monday, I cut both sides. I think I am going to try it again with just half cut, it would have been good to block off the chevron.
Hope you are all having a great night! I am not done yet with my challenge buddy card for this week. It has been a tough week to craft. Hopefully I will have it tomorrow.

It's a good life!

Baby bee

I made this cutie for 2 challenges. The Less is more neutral challenge and the casual friday baby card challenge.
I came up with that cutie. It was hard to get the color right on my computer, it is actually on soft stone paper not white. It really is fabulous in real life!

It's a good life!

Happy Make it Sunday

I am glad to have my card done for this last weeks make it monday!
I just got some zing and I am now addicted, it is so vibranrt and fun. Can't wait to get all of the colors. I also now need the dies for rosie posie as well.  I am waiting for my first order from paper smooches as well.  I can't wait to have those fun cuties in my hands.

It's a good life!
