Lets have coffee outside

The weather is getting nicer as the days go by and that makes me want to take my morning cup of joe and sit outside as the sun comes up and the birds start chirping.  I love this time of the year cause it not scorching hot yet and all the flowers are starting to bloom.  It fun to watch the world start waking up from it long winters nap.  This card is for the sparkle creations spring challenge.

Thoughts from a graduate

I love this new image from Tickled pink stamps called lil lad eric and you can pick him up in rubber or digital from tickled pink stamps.  I thought that he looked like a smart young man just about ready to head out from highschool and i thought this would make a good graduation card to inspire a graduate in your life.  Papers are from in my minds eye fine and dandy.  Lil lad eric is colored with copics and i followed the sketch from the friday sketchers challenge blog.

Karens doodles -  use either a karens doodles image or any image and follow the theme.  Green for this week.

Wintry simon says

Simon says challenge this week is anything goes. I recently picked up this great stampin up set lovely as a tree.  Browsing thru the splitcoast gallery i saw a great card that had used white embossing to create a nice looking winter scence.  I choose to do the same but i backed my card with a silver metallic cardstock and added swiss dots emobssing with an embossing folder.   I also choose to add white ribbon instead of a sentiment.  Would love to know what you think.
