Birthdays . . . .

Isn't this the cutest card! You know sometimes you make a card that you just LOVE and this one is one of those!

Using Lisa Lara Originals Doodle Birthday and Delicate Damask I make just a nice simple card but Oh So CUTE!

I used Spun Sugar Distress Ink for the Damask and Black Archival for the sentiments, the undies I colored with Copics and the lace washi tape is from Love my Tapes!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings,

Bunny

Introducing Sentimental Script . . .

Introducing Sentimental Script . . . 

A Jillian Vance Design's Newest Background Builder Cling Stamp

There is a story behind this scrip, it is not just a script font of words, it is a poem my Dad's Aunt Wini wrote named Eternal Spring in her original handwriting.

It speaks of how "I wish my life would end in the Spring, when  flowers bloom and the birds all sing . . . And Heaven will be Eternal Spring."

She passed away in the Spring when I was a little girl but I remember her well.  Such fond memories I have to cherish.

Jillian asked her daughter, Martha (who at the time was 84 years old) if she could use this as a stamp and was given her blessing along with the HANDWRITTEN original Aunt Wini had written.  Unfortunately, Martha passed last January (2012) before we were able to show her the finished stamp.  She was very involved in Jillian's life years before she passed as we would share photos of Jillian to Martha and she enjoyed Jillian's activities in dance and theater.  Martha was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011 and moved to our town to an assisted living center to be near my family.

So the name Jillian chose for this stamp truly is Sentimental!
Here is my creation . . .

Go Bucks!

While watching the Ohio State game and needing a card sample for our booth display boards, I came up with this!

Hootie is a Buckeye!!!

For this card, I stamped the background stamp from Ohio Game Day stamp set, then placed the second largest die and the smallest emerald die centering them to make the block O.  I used removable tape to hold them in place while running them thru the machine.

I then stamped (using Memento Tuxedo Black) and colored Hootie  from the Owl So Cute Too stamp set with Copics {he is grey just hard to tell in the photo!}

then made my buckeye with the left die included in the Emerald Cut {die}mond Die Set and a 3/4" punch for the buckeye.

 Cut the {die}alog bubble from the AJVD {die}velop Foto Frame & {die}alogue Bubbles Die Set sentiment is also from  Ohio Game Day stamp set.

A little of AJVD Exclusive {Buckeye Blend} Divine Twine tops it off!

 

Thanks for checking it out and Go Bucks!!!

Happy PeePster!

Happy PeePster!

Peepster is one of my favorite sets! That little Bunny is just so cute!

This weeks challenge was to create a 3 x 3 card so immediately chose Peepster!

I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Ink on Copic X-Press It paper and colored with the following 

Copics RV11, RV13, RV14. It is on a {die}namic Duo die cut I then layered a pink {die}namic Fancy Label behind it.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry to stamp the Quatrefoil background.

Stamped the {die}luxe Jewelry Tags with two of the tiny words from the Peepster Stamp set. Pinned it on the seam binding with a Silver Pear Pin!

Lucky!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today I did a simple card with Chevrons for for St. Patty's Day and the

Chevron Challenge in the Moxie Fab World 

Using  A Jillian Vance Design's Universal Zipper and Endless Borders Stamp Sets.

Just because the name says Zipper doesn't mean you have to use the Zipper die to create a card with that stamp set, there are so many possibilities!

Using just Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink, Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts and Divine Twine in Green Apple.
