Home--my happy place

I'm a homebody! I don't go out all that much even when I can. I like working in the yard, playing in my craft room, and having my family come over to visit.  So, when Bonnie, owner of We Are 3 Digital, made the Homeland paper set and the Home printables and the Home sentiments, I thought..........oh, yeah!!!

We Are 3 Digital Shop 


I have a card to share using
We Are 3 Digital Paper - Homeland
We Are 3 Digital Printables - Home
We Are 3 Digital Sentiments - Home

I digitally layered my home image and the paper and then printed it out on cardstock. I then cut out the printed sentiment and adhered it to my card using dimensional stickers.

Enchanted Garden Mushroom Cottage

I can't believe May is about over. I thought time would stand still with the isolation of Covid-19, but it has just sped on by! And our challenges speed on by, too. Seems like we just started a new challenge at the Outlawz Sketch Challenge. But two weeks has gone by already, so on to the new Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I hope you will come join us. The Sketch girls make such beautiful cards. I was very impressed by Andrea's version of Cleo and Angela's card with the Mushroom House. You really need to take a peek. http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/wednesday-sketch/forum/topics/wednesday-sketch-challenge-may-27-june-9

Mums from Darcy's Garden

Beautiful mums from Darcy's Garden. Nope, not my garden, but the Darcy's Garden and Darcy's Florals Digital sets created by Bonnie of We Are 3 Digital Shop. Bonnie created these two sets in honor of my birthday which was a few days ago. I think that is super sweet of her. She knows I love chrysanthemums and pink and Voila! a gorgeous set with my name on it. Thank you, Bonnie! You are such a dear friend to me!

We Are 3 Digital Shop 



I have 5 cards to share using
We Are 3 Digital Paper - Darcy's Garden
We Are 3 Digital Printables - Darcy's Florals png files for layering

We Are 3 Digital Sentiments - White on Black
We Are 3 Digital Sentiments - All Occasion

                  We Are 3 Digital Paper  Darcy's Garden Flowers Asters image 0 
                   We Are 3 Digital Printables  Darcy's Florals  Frames image 0    
                   We Are 3 Digital Sentiments  All Occasion Sentiments image 0 
                            We Are 3 Digital Sentiments  White on Black Sentiments image 0


I had a wonderful time mixing and matching these two sets. My favorite card is the last one, so be sure to scroll all the way down.




The above card uses a wreath from the Darcy's Florals set and is digitally layered over one of the papers from Darcy's Garden Digital Paper set. The Happy Birthday is from All Occasions Digital Sentiments set.




 This card uses the square frame from the Darcy's Florals set and was fussy cut and glued to a paper from the Darcy's Garden Digital Paper Set. I used a heart die cut to top it off.




 This card combined papers from the Darcy's Garden Digital paper set. The sentiment is from the White on Black Sentiment set.




 For this card, I digitally placed the wreath from Darcy's Florals on to a beautiful paper from the Darcy's Garden Digital paper set. The sentiment was rubber stamped.





And this card turned out to be my favorite. It is a combination of papers from the Darcy's Garden Digital Paper set. I added a sheer pink ribbon to finish off.

Crashing Washi Tape


WASHI TAPE is the prompt for the latest OUTLAWZ  Crash your Stash! Challenge.

The purpose of this Challenge is to encourage you to use those items that are no longer trending and probably stashed away in a drawer. Forgotten and alone. So, we are here to help inspire you to dig those items out and bring them new life!

At the start of each challenge, we will tell you what item we want you to pull from your stash to use and you will have a whole month to find, dust off and create something lovely with the item!

That simple!

You have until June 15th to enter!

We are excited to be sponsored by Lee Holland Art this month with a prize of 2 images from her shop.

Make sure you stop by and see all the cute images she has to offer!





Here is my card using Bunny Smelling Flowers by Lee Holland Art. Our stash item this month is Washi Tape.


I hope to see you in the new Crash Your Stash challenge!

Thanks for dropping by!

I luv daffodils

I do love daffodils. All of my regular ones are done blooming but now the mini ones in yellow and white are blooming. They are so delicate, but hardy! They look good even after three nights at freezing temps.


On to the challenge................it's Wednesday and we have another new Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I hope you will come join us. The team has made such amazing cards again!

I'm so excited because we have a new sponsor at the Outlawz. LEIGH SB DESIGNS

$10 coupon prize to LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique 

Here is the sketch for this challenge!



And here is my card.


The focal image is Daffodil Trellis by our sponsor, LeighSBDesigns. I used the Spellbinders Candlewicking Circles Die to frame the lovely trellis.

For my background paper layer, I used digital paper by We Are 3 Digital Shop. The paper is from the Dotted Swiss collection.

I colored the image with Copic markers. Card size is 6 x 6 inches.

I hope you will drop by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge and see what my teammates have made!

How Does your Garden Grow

After three nights in a row of a hard freeze, I am back to planting flowers. Even covered up, my begonias didn't survive. The leaves got soft and mushy. I probably should have brought them into the house, but the big urn would have been impossible to lift and carry in. So............sigh.............I will have to replant the begonias. I haven't disposed of them yet, I just cut off the mushy leaves and stems and they might bounce back.

The card I have today is one I made for the Outlawz Color Challenge. My image is by Paper Nest Dolls and is called Watering Can Ellie. I couldn't find it in the store to provide a link.
It may have been retired.

I used We Are 3 Digital Shop papers for my background layer and to cut out the flowers.

A Little Encouragement in these hard times

Times are tough right now. Social distancing is hard on people that are used to being on the go constantly. I don't go out much, but even a trip to the grocery store can have me a little anxious. Hopefully, times will get better soon.


The We Are 3 Digital Shop has a wonderful digital sentiment set called  Encouraging Words. It has some really nice sentiments in it for these hard times.

We Are 3 Digital Shop

I have 2 cards to share and I'll show the first card using the Encouraging Words set.


The products I used are:
We Are 3 Digital Sentiment Set - Encouraging Words
We Are 3 Digital Image Set - Umbrella
We Are 3 Digital Paper Set - April Showers

Here is my second card. Bonnie created a beautiful iris set honoring Margaret Ashby's birthday (GranMargaret to some!)


The products I used are:
We Are 3 Digital Printables set - Margaret's Wreaths
We Are 3 Digital Sentiment set - Gift Labels
We Are 3 Digital Paper - Magical Butterflies
I digitally layered two of the wreaths from Margaret's Wreaths over the Lavender paper of the Magical Butterflies set and added Hello from the Gift Labels set. I really am enjoying the digital layering. I sponged the edges of the background paper with a little purple ink.
