You Color Me Happy Jennifer...

A thank you for a dear friend of mine who sent me a care package when I was having an Ehlers Danlos Syndrome flare up.  I swear I have the sweetest friends ever!!!

I used Color Blast and Stitched Cloud Edges die-namics.  Sentiment from the My Favorite Things Good Vibes Only stamp set.

She definitely knows how to make me laugh and cry!

Thank you for stopping by!
 

Zebra Strong...

I received the most amazing RAK in the mail...a Zebra T-Shirt done in orange (my favorite color).  For those that don't know, I have a rare genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (Classical/Hypermoble Type).  Basically I have a faulty collagen system.  The mascot for EDS is the Zebra, so an awesome friend of mine had this shirt made for me (in my favorite color) and sent it to me.  Talk about bringing me to tears upon opening it!

I stamped my zebra in Memento ink, then used blending brushes to color it.  I fussy cut it and mounted it on a white base layer that was run through a cuttlebug folder.  I made a black circle frame using two circles run through the die cutter.  Added the sentiment from My Favorite Things Big Greetings set.

My awesome shirt!!!

Thank you for having a look!

 

Drink up the Sunshine Michele...

For a wonderful gym buddy and friend for her birthday.

 I just love this little gal from My Favorite Things Drink up the Sunshine set.  I stamped her in Memento Ink, coloring her with Copics, then using the coordinating die-namics to die cut her.  I then used the Beach Scene Builder die-namics to create the ocean with Tempting Turquoise and Bermuda Bay ink

Thank you for stopping by!.  

Keep on Climbin' Kathryn...

For an incredibly amazing woman, Kathryn.  She set out to climb Denali just after her birthday.  Her story is fascinating and I'm so proud of all the things she's done for women's equality.  If you haven't had the opportunity to read her book (STAND), I highly suggest it!  

I used Stampin' Up Snowfront and Morning Meadow stamp sets.  Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Pistachio Pudding, Balmy Blue, and Pool Party inks.  Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake, and White card stock.

 Kathryn and Me.

Have a great rest of your Saturday! 

Thank You Kellie...

For my sweet dear friend and cycling buddy, Kellie to thank her for the Prickly Pear Cactus she gave me.  On one of our rides I was telling her how much my hubs loves the purple prickly pear cactus.  She said she has some on her property and would bring me some at our next ride.  My hubs was surprised and loves it!

I kept it CAS, using My Favorite Things Sweet Succulents and Big Greetings Stamp Sets.  Highland Heather and Neenah card stock.  Stitched Rectangle Frames and Fishtail Foundations Die-namics from MFT.  
Copics used- BG75,BG72, BG70, B34, BV000, BV00, Y17, Y15, Y11, E37, E35, E33

Just put the Prickly Pear in the ground, look forward to watching it grow!

Happy Birthday Sacha...

For a sweet lady for her birthday!!!

 When I saw this Simply Succulents set from Stampin' Up, I knew I had to have it.  I just love succulents!  I purchased the bundle which came with coordinating dies.  I just love the overlay, it add so much texture to the card.  Anyhow, the supplies I used are- Stampin' Up Simply Succulents Stamp Set and Bundle, Oval die cut, Itty Bitty Birthday and Itty Birthday Strips die-namics from My Favorite Things.  Colored the image with copics, layered it with pop dots and embellished with iridescent bubbles.

Thanks for having a look!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!!

For my friend Jennifer for her birthday.  I was blessed to be able to spend the morning with her on a bike ride then have a post ride breakfast with her as well.  Jennifer and I don't get to see each other that often, darn that thing called work!  But it's always a great time when we do get together.  In May we signed up to do the Mt. Lemmon Hill Climb!  Looking forward to spending the day climbing the mountain with her!!!  

This is one of the images I purchased from Emily from Sixth Street Sundries last year.  I just love these images, they are so beautiful  This is only the second one I've colored up, I just don't want to part with them, lol!  I used my copics to color it, mounting it on a Magenta Madness card base.  Sentiment is from My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Birthday and Itty Bitty Strips die-namis.

 Linden, Me, and Jennifer.
