My Best Friend

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I can here Spring here because the birds are chirping right out side in the trees and bushes. Too bad they are forecasting snow for us tomorrow night into Thursday though I believe it when I see it, we have had so many false alarms when it comes to the white stuff around here. I want to give a big thanks to my dear friend Pia. She opened her house to us on Saturday so that all the stamping/scrapping friends myself, Peggy, Michelle and Donna could have a full and fun day of  creating and crafting (Kristen we missed you).

This week for the challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is Pop It Up! I love to pop a lot up on my cards with pop dots. It time I decided to try something different, I colored the image multiple times then cut out the pieces, turned them over and used my ball stylus to puff or pop out the shapes of parts of the image. It is fun to do but takes some practice to make it look perfect. It is definitely something I will do again.
I hope you want to come play with us this week, I can't wait to see what you create!

Winter Sparkle!

Happy Weekend! It finally looks like winter here in New England. We have a little snow on the ground finally and it is really cold! I got to go shopping yesterday at one of my favorite stamping stores in Dover, NH. It is quite a ride for us so we make it a fun road trip for my sister Peggy, Kristen, Pia and Michelle and myself. We got there early and spent quite a while there shopping, no one left without a bag full of goodies. We finished the morning off at Friday's for lunch, gossip and a lot of laughs. Peggy and I finished off the day at our LSS where some paper that she ordered came in and we found some new very pretty paper packs that we both had to have. It was a very expensive but fun day! I am so glad this is a 3 day weekend so I can play with my new stuff.

This card was made for Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge this week. I am posting late but you still have time to come play along with us. This week is a favorite theme for me Glitter!!!!! I love to put glitter on everything, the more sparkle the better. This card is covered with it. I just love these Saturated Canary digis, it is hard to pick just a few as your favorites.
