Happy Birthday Caleb!!

Today my youngest Son turns a big "25".......I picked him up at the Airport because he's been gone a month working  up North on one of the Islands called Spy.   They had a Polar Bear make a den near work and had to halt work (he works for the Oil Fields) for a few days because of them being on the endangered animals list here in Alaska

May all your wishes come true!!

Come and Get It Challenge~Happy Easter!

Come and Get It Sketch........come by and play along!!
I've waited until I did my first card for "Come and Get It Challenges" to spill the Wonderful News about becoming one of their Design Team Members

Here's a close-up of my Easter cross, I had a single cross but I wanted more flowers at the base so I ended up masking.  So what I did was stamp the flowers at the base first then stamp them off on a post it note and cut out the image, covering the flowers with the post it image I then stamped the cross right over top of the post it......"Wa La" a wonderful new image of a cross and flowers at the base!

Freebie Easter Digi

Since tomorrow is Easter I thought I'd share a cute little Bunny Rabbit with a Hen on it's head, sorry I don't recall where the digi is from.......But I was thinking there a pun involved somewhere about this image, especially since Hens lay the eggs and the Easter Bunnies will get the eggs and hide them?? What do you think??  LOL  Hope your having a wonderful weekend

I wanted to thank everyone for the congratulations on my card being chosen for Publication with Scrap Book News and Review.  No art work today.......but I'm going to share some digi's with you that I found, maybe you could use them for a Easter card.

I thought these little guys were so cute when I came across them.....Well one reason I haven't done a card lately is I've been busy planting seeds for the Sun Porch, whew it's getting hot out there up to 85 degree's today!!

Let me see I only did 5 flats of seeds today........so hopefully we will have Beans, 2 kinds of Peas, 2 kinds of Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Onions, 2 kinds of Peppers, Bok Choy, Radishes, Acorn, Summer, and Zucchini Squash, Kohlrabi (never grew any of these) I know I planted more but of course I had to grow flowers to pretty every thing up!

ATG Tag Swap

Well I dithered on what to do for my "Any Thing Goes" tag swap for a yahoo group Inkyfunstampers, so I ended up using my Stampscape stamps for a fun outdoor scene with the aurora borealis or the northern lights

Here's a little bit better view of my tag that will be making it's way to Pennsylvania to my swap partner.  I stamped it with versa-fine ink, dry brushed & dauber with SU dye ink, sprayed it with Radiant Rains and added 2 coats of clear embossing powder before I was finished with my tag.

Snow Play Day

Sorry no card or project today just sharing my wonderful furry kids........Desi & Harley are having a play day in the snow after we got dumped on last night.  We got about 4-5 inches and turned everything white and clean again  LOL

They love playing tug-o-war with their boat buoy, they will get hold of it and run around the yard carrying it and if your not looking they will come up behind trying to catch you off guard to trip you up!!

These furry critters of mine have so much energy......sometimes I wonder where it all comes from!!!  LOL
