Happy Saturday! It is time for another fun challenge at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday. The challenge is an easy one. We want to see flowers on your creation this week.
"My name is Priscilla. I love drawing vintage images and you can see a few of them Here. I would love for you to be a member of my "priscillastyles" group. We have fun, games and occasional freebies" Come join the fun and share your work with us.
The prize is a $10 Gift Certificate redeemable for Digis Only
Here is the card I created using one of Priscilla wonderful images.
I embossed the base card with a SU embossing folder. The image is colored with Copic markers. Then I added some small bling flowers. I cut the image out with a CM oval and the background with a Nestability.
If you have any questions please ask. Check out what the rest of the design team has created.
Wow it is Thursday. I feel like a bad blogger. I have been so busy with yard work. There is so much work and it is hard. I need a yard boy.
Ok I did get two Christmas cards done. I didn't do two last week so I am one behind.
Christmas Card Challenge #24 is to use old or neglected stamps. I used an old stamp set of mine by Theresa Momber and colored the image with copic markers.
I also used the sketch from last weeks Merry Monday Challenge 19
The second card is for Challenge 20 at Merry Monday
Here is the sketch.
Here is my card.
I used the same stamp set and copic markers.
I am off to Curves (I got a free one month trial), then yoga. Then I am going to Madison to do yard work for my in-laws.
If you have any questions about my cards please leave me a comment.

The Challenge this month LESSology's is called Birds of a Feather Flock together. You can make a project that incorporates a bird or birdcage. It is really open to your interpretation. I created a bird house out of a bird house gourd. Here is my creations. Most of which was created by Nature.
I love to watch the birds and the Wrens that use these house are so much fun. They have the prettiest song and they are very hard little workers.
I don't paint my birdhouse gourds because I like the way they look after they have been cleaned. I don't really like the products you have to use on them. I am not sure it is good for the birds when it heats up inside their little home. I let nature do the painting. I put up a new one every year.
Here is the video of what I do to make a Wren house.
I read that the male chooses several nesting cavities and places a few small twigs in each. Female inspects each, chooses one, and finishes the nest building. Whe will completely fill the nest cavity with uniformly small twigs, then line a small depression at the back of the cavity with pine needles and grass. They is a funny process to watch because sometime they can't get the twig throughout the hole. They try many times in different directions and approaches until they are successful.
They did pick my birdhouse.
I hope you will join us this month you can link up your creations in LESSology Challenge #14: Birds of a Feather Flock together
We were given some wonderful images to work with this week.
I chose the beautiful dress.
I thought it would be so nice to get a pretty new dress for Mother's day and especially it the great figure came with it. LOL I am sending it to my sister to remind her how we looked before we became mothers.
Oh, that's right we never looked like that. Hee Hee
Be sure to stop and see what the rest of the design team has created.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Mothers, Aunts, Sisters, Day Care providers, Nurses, you are all a mother to someone. Even the men who are both mother and father to someone.
Hi Everyone, I am so excited to announce that I have been selected to be on the Raisin Boat Design Crew. Raisin Boat is the very first company to offer easy online stamp rental. Their stamps are amazing. They are strong, cling perfect and stamp crisp and clear. They are made of high quality photopolymer. It is so much fun to get new stamps in the mail and if you want to keep them you can buy them at a discount. If you don't think you will use that set very much then you can send it back. I made my Christmas Card Challenge #23 using some of my favorite Raisin Boat sets.
The Challenge is Humor
I used three sets to create this card.
This is what I think my tree is going to look like after Lucy get done with it next Christmas. LOL The sentiment says, "Have a purrfect Holiday" The video shows how I made this card.
Raisin Boat has over175 exclusive clear stamp sets for rent or purchase. The way I like to check out their wonderful stamp sets is to look through the Idea Gallery. The stamp sets I used for this card were; Treemendous, Time Flies, and Purrsonality. Raisin Boat also has a great blog with more ideas.
Hi I sure can tell I am getting old. I forget things and it takes forever to get back in the swing of things when I go away for a couple of days.
I wanted to say thank you again to all of you who left such kind comments when Max passed away and I want to share some of the cards I received.
Here is one from Kim Scarpper
Isn't it adorable?
You can see the rest and some beautiful ATC I received in a swap at YPP. This video also has a haul from Tuesday morning, St. Vinnie's and an antique shop.

I used the SU Bird punch and the Ornament punch. The corners are and old Fiskers punch called Seagull. The nestability is Parisian Motife. The color is not showing up correctly. The base if a very dark green. It really is a pretty card. The bird and ornament are popped up. I love using that bird punch to create different birds and cardinals are my favorite.
