think spring

Hello...hello friends!! So sorry it's been so long and I hope you are all good.  I am way under in a non crafting project that's super overwhelming. I know another storm will be hitting the states soon so if that's you...think spring!! This adorable Yeti is from Lawn Fawn. I added trunks to give the trees more height and tiny eyelashes to the eyes. Just a quick post to say hi :)
Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy
P.S. I promise to pick the winner for the butterfly soon. Sorry I need more time on that. :(

i like the way you roll

Hello Friends, Happy weekend to you! Just a super quick share today because I have lots of craftiness to get today. This is one of those stamp sets that just makes you happy from Lawn Fawn called. "Let's Roll" !!! 

The background was stamped with SSS gorgeous "Sea Glass" ink and matching paper. The glittery accents gave my card that little extra happiness with this pen. Glossy Accents on the soy sauce lid.
Enjoy your weekend! Hugs and gratitude, Kathy

altering a bird

Hello Friends, How are you today? Are you having a thaw in your neck of the woods? This Saturday the temps might reach 72! I call that Global Warming! 

Anyway...I have two fun mini cards to share today. 

What's special about this Lawn Fawn set is that you can use it all year plus I'm a sucker for anything with a bird. 

These birds make me happy and I wanted them to really make a big appearance on my card so I gave them some legs.... two sizes of legs by cutting some scrap paper & glueing the legs to the back of the bird. I stamped the leaf boarder in green & highlighted the leaves with a blue marker. The little berries were created with this versatile stamp set called, "Lots of Dots"

The "Thanks" die is fun to cut from some fun patterned paper like the Lawn Fawn 6x6 paper pack. Love how their paper has some solid papers to mix with the beautiful mini prints.

Stay tuned because my next post I will be giving away Simon Says Stamp Jan 2014 Card Kit. Thanks for your visit today and as the holiday is almost is here I hope you take a deep breath and enjoy the season instead of feeling any stress. Hugs, Kathy

I love the versatility of "Giving Thanks" and I look forward to creating a naked tree in the snow for winter or a bright green tree in the spring etc. :)
Below is a mini tutorial to create a bright day with the mountains reflecting in some crystal clear water. 

Photo 1: Apply Mowed Lawn with a dauber using the stencil.

Photo 2: FLIP the stencil to create a reflection in the water using the dauber with two different blue distress inks.  

Photo 3: Use some sticky notes or this stencil to fill in the gap between the hills and the water. 

 Photo 4: Add a little more distress ink in the corners. Stamp the tree & leaves. Use this same stencil to create the clouds. 

Let me know if you have any questions...please send me an email so I can help you. Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy
