DREAMING ABOUT BIKE RIDES FROM THE PAST

Hi, There!

My bike riding days are long past, but the dream is to have a Spring day and going for that bike ride in the outdoors with that spring breeze going thru your hair and the sun shining down on you!!!

It is cold and snowy here so my escape is a spring-like card.  

Now I started some decluttering and I find these Magnolia Stamps that I forgot I had!!!!  LOL  Here she is Tilda on her bike!!!  Love her!!

HELLO FRIEND

Hi, There!

I bet you are glad it is Friday!!!  I remember how happy I would be when my work week rolled around and it was Friday once again!!!  A happy face all day long!  But now I have been blessed to be able to retire and I have a happy face all the time but I never know what day of the week it is!!!!  LOL

Here is my post for QKR Stampede's Friday Challenge and she is just so cute.  I love ragdolls so this was fun to color up.  It would make a great birthday card too!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!!  Hugs and blessings, always ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:
QKR Digital Image #Q-digi15111 - I LOVE YOU
Used Copic Markers and some papers from my stash.  Balloons have Glossy Accent added.  Wink of Stella on her dress and slip.  The little tag I popped up with foam tape.  I did a little doodling around the image and added some stardust to her buttons and the flowers on the tag.

NO WISH IS TO BIG OR TOO SMALL

Hi, There!

Wishes!!!  We all have wishes and this little mouse has his wish too!!!  This is part of the Hero Arts Monthly Kit I received in December - (sorry it is now sold out).  And I am only getting around to making some cards now from this beautiful kit.  

My plan or wish is to use up my stash and not buy any new products - if possible.  I am trying to declutter but I seem to be doing that and then adding something new!!!!!  LOL  I think I need to pray more on this rather than wishing;)  Enough - here is my card and thanks for stopping by - hugs and blessings always ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:

Stamp image from Hero Arts December Kit and colored with Copic Markers as follows:

Mouse  C4 3 2 1 R30 R00  G21 G24  Mushroom R24 27 39 Y18 E23 44 47 G21 24

The background was blended with Distress Oxide Inks/Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon and also used Distress Inks for the ground area - Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters.  

The frame is from IO #242-YY  Ladybugs - R00 24 27 39  The Mouse and Ladybug images popped up with 3D foam.  The mushroom was glued to the front of the frame.  Sentiment and blown dandelions stamped in black Versafine ink.

FAIRY WISHES FOR YOU

Hi, There!

I am finally getting around to going thru some of my Hero Arts Monthly Kits.  I am trying to be good with not ordering any more new kits but this one caught my eye as I love fairies!  But it took me a while to get around to making a card or two!

Since we are in the middle of another snowstorm here on the East Coast I am thinking flowers!!!  So maybe dreaming of Springtime too!!!  Thanks for stopping by, hugs and be blessed ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:
Hero Arts/December Kit (Soldout)  The fairies are colored with Copic Markers and cut out with the die cuts included with the kit.  Flower also part of the kit and cut out with the die.

I used a white card base and added the blue cardstock - blended some distress oxide inks (Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon) in the center before adding the flower frame (Early Spring - Precious Marieke).  Added Stardust to fairy wings, Wink of Stella on their bodies and the flower.  Sequins added.  Sentiment embossed in white.
Fairy with wand:  B00 01 02 04 05  Fairy on flower: same with Y0000 Y02 for her wings
Hair for both: E70 71 74   Flower:  R20 21 22 43  Center Y26 Y28 - but she is covering that part up.  Both fairies are applied with 3D foam.

Hi, There!

I am excited to announce that I am part of the QKR Stampede design team and this is my first post for their weekly Friday challenges of anything goes!!!  So play along if you can and have a chance to win a digital image.

This is one of my favorite Scriptures so just had to make a centered step card with it!!  The image has been die cut with a Precious Marieke/Rustic Frame and the two hearts die cut with a heart die.  The DP is from my stash which I fussy cut the roses from and added to the front of card base.  Some pearls and stardust added here and there.  Thank you for stopping by, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn
