Two ways to celebrate!

Hi everybody and happy Wednesday!!  We are right in the middle of school vacation and having a great time!!  A few more play dates and adventures lined up for the rest of the week and hopefully some more stampy time!  I created two cards for today using the same awesome sentiment from whimsy stamps, it's from the birthday letter seals created by raindrop echo!

The first card uses Birthday cup mouse from Whimsy Stamps.  I used some basic grey papers in bright spring colors!!!  Then embellished with lots of stickles, ribbon, buttons, and flowers.  I also used my Martha Stewart stars punch.  The super cute mouse is colored with copics.

ooops

Ooooops!!!  I have been working in the real world quite a lot in the past two weeks.  And I've had very little crafty time :(  Finally got a few moments to do some housekeeping on the blog and realized I never changed this from draft to post...
So anyway......here is a digi bells card I made a little while ago.  I used it as a teacher Valentine.  The papers are Martha Stewart.  I have used A tasty read from Elisabeth Bell.  I also used life defined and ticket sentiments from Whimsy Stamps.  Finally I distressed it, added some pearls and a great big bow!  Oh and some flowers!!

I wanted to send big hugs to my friend, a gal I've never met, but who always brightens my day:)  I just love this little digi cutie from Elisabeth Bell.  I added Whimsy ticket sentiments and the life defined background stamp as well.  The papers I received in a swap so I don't know what they are, but they had a vintage feel which reminded me of Annika.  Big Hugs to you my dear!!!

If you know Annika and would like to make a creation for her please go to the end of the hop (Denise's Blog)  and link a card, then email Crystal at crystalkbk30@gmail.com to privately give you her address.

Little Rapunzel

Hi everyone!  I have a semi-non-traditional Valentine for you today.  I used Little Rapunzel a little cutie from Elisabeth Bell's line of digi's.  The papers are sugar rush from Basic Grey.  I also added a few wild orchid flowers.  The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps.  I also added some grosgrain and taffeta ribbon and pearls.  It was fun to make a Valentine without just using pink and red.
