Furever Love

Hello and Welcome to a brand new Loves Rubberstamps Challenge -  Lots of Layers.  I'm so super excited we are sponsored by Birdie Brown this week!  That's a double score if you win!  I Love Torico's fabulous images and they are so fun to color.  I will be using another one of Friday!  This image is called, "Furever Love".   They are only $2.50!!!  What a deal. 

I found this fabulous deconstructed sketch no 89 and knew it would perfect for this image.  I paired it with MFT's Grass border die-namic, Cloud Stax Die-namic, and Cheveron die-namic.  I cut the Jumbo Cloud - smallest with white felt and then a blue background and used the Best Glue Ever to paste it down.  I'm so excited that Laura added The Best Cleaner Ever.  This works so well on my tools and get gummed up and it does not leave a residue on my tools, so I don't have to worry my next project with get any stains or residue on it.  (In fact she has added a TON of NEW ITEMS, so go check them out!)  I also cut out one of the grass dies and then used the negative side for a second layer.  I like that feature!   So I have Blue, White, Patterned, Black, White, Blue Cloud, White felt cloud, Grass, Grass.  I think it's a 7 Layer card!  Most of my cards are though, lol.  So this was a fun challenge for me and I loved coloring up this image. 

I hope everyone is having a great week and can join us in our Challenge.  Also hop on by the Inspiration Blog and leave a comment on the Sunday post for a chance to win!  I love winning free stamps!!! 

Yesterday my Sweet Husband Joe left for work early and took a picture on his phone and sent it to me with a "good morning" message.  He is so sweet. 

I love daffodils and I had planted about 50 bulbs 12 years ago.  This is the lone survivor, the only one left, lol.   So spring in California is officially arrived!  I love spring! 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.

All About Love .... of the Coffee

Happy Tuesday!!!

It's time for another Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps and this weeks theme is All About Love!  Did you know the owner of Loves Rubberstamps is Laura Love?  How cool is that last name?  Very seldom do I wish I had someone Else's last name, but you know, geez, Love, I would LOVE to have that last name, lol. 

Okay, back to business.  I would like to thank Eureka stamps for Sponsoring our Challenge this week and for the fabulous digi's they sent the design team to play with.  The moment I saw this Heart Frame Digi I knew I had to have it!  And I wasn't the only one, head on over to the Challenge blog to see what the other DT members made!  So I started out with the Heart Frame and colored it up with my Copic markers, cut out the center and fussy cut out the heart.  Then I inked up my TGF Latte Anya with Memento Black Ink and colored her up with my Copic Markers and fussy cut her out.  I used some papers from Fancy Pants Designs 6X6 Love Note and a Crochet die-namic border and glued them all down with my Best Glue Ever!  I added some Card Candi - Ritz that I adhered with Candi Fix. 

I know you have some fabulous creation to show us your - All About Love!  I cannot wait to see it. 

Sadly, when this card was created, it was created around chaos.  My Kuerig Coffee Maker died.  I had it for 15 months and this was the replacement for the last one that died.  I don't think these things were made for SERIOUS coffee drinkers.  On the average it gets used 3 times a day, sometimes up to 6 times a day.  Every single day.  I think these were made for the single person who likes one cup of coffee first thing in the morning and then that's it.  lol.  I also will say I do not descale or clean it out very often and it recommended you do this once a week.  Once a week?  I have cards to make people!  lol.  So now comes the dilemma.  Do I run out and get another Keurig or do I go back to the old tried and true coffee maker that lasts me about 3 years?  I'm crazy about my K-Kups and I love all the variety.  I love that I can leave it on and get my coffee within a minute! lol.  I think I'll run out and buy another one, lol.  Yes, I am insane. lol.  Lucky for me, my son moved back in and I had bought him one for his birthday, lol.  Now we are using that one until I buy a replacement. 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.
