Feeling Rosy?

Hello Everyone!!!  Isn't this little pig FUN??? It makes me smile! On todays card, I used the BRAND NEW release from DRS Designs! I used the WONDERFUL One Line Valentine's Greeting and Leonard Pig Rose Offering as my primary images. On the background I stamped the Fly Away Hearts and Roses in Regal Rose Ink. I layered the images on the Spellbinders Labels 18, the Elegant Ovals die and the Ovals die and the words are stamped on the Ribbon banners die. I sponged the edges with Rose Red Ink and popped up each layer to add some dimension using Pop Dots. I wrapped a White Satin Ribbon around and tied a bow to finish off this cute Valentine.

AMUN'S EYES

Hello Everyone! This is my second post of the day, so please scroll down to see the other post! It is back to the daily grind here for us!! I am hoping as we all transition back to our routines, it all goes well!


Todays card, I decided to get a little bit "catty" and use this CUTE Cat image called Amun's Eyes. I created the background using the Smooch Painted Texture technique from the December/ January Technique Junkie Newsletter. The other portion of the background uses the stamp called Holly's Tattered Background. The sentiment comes from the Inspirational Phrases Sheet.

FEELING FROSTY????

Hello Everyone! Today, we are BACK to normal!!!  I had a WONDERFUL 11 days with my family and my husband was off, but I am SO glad I can start working and get back to my normal routine! What a wonderful feeling! I trust you had a wonderful Christmas Season and want to wish you all a VERY Happy, Healthy New Year! I am setting many goals and breaking them down into small pieces AND setting up an accountability system too!

We seem to be having a VERY mild winter so far in Wisconsin. In fact, so far this season, we have NOT had any snow that has really accumulated to anything. We had flurries yesterday, but even the temperatures have been mild. Now, don't get me wrong, I do not want to make it snow, but a little WHITE would be nice!!! I am tired of the BROWN!
