Thank You Beary Much!

Happy weekend- hopefully everyone got out and enjoyed this beautiful day! Dave did tons of work in the yard, Emily had a soccer game and then Emily, David and I went to see the new Hannah movie!

On Monday, my baby will be turning two! I can hardly believe it- where does the time go? Jack is one of those happy, friendly babies who loves to be outside and loves to laugh!! I wish there was some way to stop time and keep all three of my kids from growing up so fast! We're having a small family party for Jack tomorrow so I began work on his Thank You cards today. I used the stamp set called "The Best Way" which has some cute teddy bears on it. I colored in the bear and the flower using my Copics (love them!!) then I stippled blue around the edges.

Here's the card-

And just for fun, I stamped the back with this cute stamp from the set "Made for You"

Thanks for peeking- have a great day!

April Layout!

Good evening everyone!! It's been a busy day- here is my April layout for my workshop. I used Magic Moments to create this layout. I also used Simple Beauty stamp set, embossed it and then used the brayer to create the yellowish/orange color.

Here is the left side- I used Giggle Lowercase to stamp the words-

Here is the right side-

The pictures make it look more yellow than it really is- the color is much deeper.

Hope you like it!

Tickled Pink Layout!

So here is the layout I made today using all the supplies in the Tickled Pink kit. There is so much left over that I could make a second layout or a bunch of cards. I will probably use this to make birthday cards- will post them once I make them!

Gotta run- dance and soccer practice! I hope everyone likes the layout!

My elephant and alligator

So, I've been itching to get back to practicing with the Copics and the shading. I did go and buy the Memento ink. So here are the two I worked on today- no cards, just the images.

Both of these cuties are from the stamp set called Life's a Jungle from CTMH. I stuck with same color families but may have to branch out a little when I try the monkeys!

Thanks for looking-

Jean :)
