U Can Stand Under My Umbrella

Hello and happy Thursday! Today I made a card with my brand new Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo stamps by Jodie Mackrell! I won this fun stamp set MARGARET UMBRELLA along with the other 3 new releases from Totally Stampalicous a couple weeks ago when they had a totally awesome blog hop and my package just arrived from British Columbia! Yay, I'm such a lucky (and happy) girl!

I paper pieced Margaret's raincoat, boots and umbrella, then added some naked kraft chipboard, brightly colored trim from Fancy Pants and some Basic Grey brads...the butterfly rub-ons I'm not sure about but what's done is done haha! The sentiment is stamped onto the Fancy Frame DIE from My Creative Time. This sketch was provided by The Pixie Cottage

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

The Pixie Cottage challenge #116- Paper Piecing and Sketch!

Party Time Tuesdays challenge #63- Water

Totally Stampalicous Monday challenge Celebrating Friendship!
Paper Sundaes challenge #115- Sundae Bar! (my 2 toppings include kraft and a die cut)

I want to give Totally Stampalicious a great big shout-out because of their generousity, inspirational design team, not to mention their totally fabulous stamp line packed full of originality and fun! If you want to check them out, I think you'd love em too! Just sayin :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today my friends! Have a great one!

April Showers and Maybe Some Flowers!

Hi friends! I've made a card today for a few challenges and just for fun! I thought this Cricut cut from my Give A Hoot cartridge was so cute--I wish I could give a card to my flower bed! My tulips and daffodils are so darn confused this year, they bloomed a bit early when it became warm and then died when it snowed again, and again...poor things! And poor me--I usually have a beautiful bouquet of fresh tulips from my garden in a vase for Easter--looks like I'll be buyin a bunch from Safeway this year! lol

Anyhoo, here's my card!

This wonderful sentiment is from My Creative Time's "Happy Hunting" stamp set and I love it!

I'll be entering this card for the following challenges:

Oldie But A Goodie- April Showers

Party Time Tuesday Challenge Blog- PTT #62- Flowers

Thanks so much for stoppin' by! Have a GREAT ONE! xoxo
