Buddy

Hello!

A card for Jim using the digital image 'Buddy' from A Day for Daisies.

One of the staff at the group home where Jim lives recently lost her grandmother - but out of this sadness came joy. She had a little dog that now had no mom or home and he has found a new home and a proud dad with Jim. The dog's name is Freckles and they are quite the pair. Lucky dog - lucky Jim. Can't beat that combination! :<)

The real Jim and Freckles. :<)

We have had so much rain and humidity here in this part of WI - thunderstorms almost daily -  but today the sun is out and it is much cooler weather. I feel the breeze from the window as I write this and say 'Thank you God" - it is so nice!

Wishing you a lovely Sunday where you are.

Five Minutes A Day

This sweet image is called "Five Minutes A Day" and is A Day for Daisies digital image. I have fussy cut and layered as I love to do. Check out their blog at http://adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/ and see the wonderful cards made using their lovely images. So many good ideas! 

We have had a week of temperatures in the 80's with rain and thunderstorms - it is so humid in this part of WI and I can't justify using the air conditioner so early in the summer. It is only May and it is so expensive to run so making due with open windows and fans. In this small apartment that doesn't do much (2 windows) and the older I get the more difficult it is to deal with the humidity. But the sun comes out in between the rain so that is good and everything is certainly green!

Wishing you cool breezes where you are and safe weather his holiday weekend.

Kids Love To Draw

Hello!

I love these images from A Day For Daisies. They are beautifully done and a fun challenge for the fussy cutting that I love to do. I wanted to create them all in yellow and used different printed papers for the clothing and the backgrounds and also colored some of the images with markers. Much of the fussy cutting was a bit tricky and time consuming but I love the results! :<)

The images I have used are "So Pretty" and "Wall Art". You can find these and many more wonderful images on their website at http://adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/

Wishing you a good day today!

Poster Card for Jim

Hello!

A new poster image from Mo Manning - had to purchase it to color and mail to Jim. We both are long time addicts of adult coloring books, way before they became so popular as they are today. This image is called "Cottage Treehouse" and is is great fun to color, You can find this digital image at Mo's website at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/

We have sunshine and warmer weather here in this part of WI today - the forecast is to get even warmer for the later part of the week! Wishing you a good day today where you are!

A New Poster/Card For My Door

Hello!

A new poster/card for my apartment door.

A little trouble at pre-school and all three trying to look innocent - but it looks like one little guy forgot to drop the crayons! The images are from Mo Manning and you can find them on her website at http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ - they are "Guilty Bert", "Sam in Trouble" and "Guilty May". Love combining images, especially those of children! :<) The photos are a bit dark but either my camera was acting up again or the lighting was not good but better these than none! :<)

The children on either side are layered and all three are fussy cut after they are colored with markers. The background is a combination of patterned paper and coloring with markers.

Guilty Bert

Sam In Trouble

Guilty May

Much cooler here in this part of WI - more like a normal Spring, but I do miss that 70's weather we were having. Lots of rain also but all is green and flowers and flowering trees all in bloom! Love it and am so happy winter is over!

Wishing you a happy Sunday!

Hugs,

Barbara
