Happy anniversary

 Happy Wednesday!

Or for me, it's sorta like my Saturday, as I'm off today!

It's mine and hubby's 3rd wedding anniversary!

It's so hard to believe how quick time flies!

I made him a little card, and I got to use one of the left over peacock feathers from the big day!

All the papers came from a 6 x 6 paper pack from glitz paper

 

I was inspired by a few different challenges for this one:

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Patchwork

The pink Elephant: Sketch

Love to create challenge: color palette

Challenges 4 Everybody: Anything Goes

Penny's Papercrafty challenge: Lots of Layers 

Smashing again

 It's been a while since I shred a smash page!

This morning I got up with hubby and while I was enjoying a cuppa joe

I wrote out my challenge list!

The new job is going fabulous, and I need some stress relief!

I made this Christmas inspired smash page, probably cause I wish it was winter time

(it's a fabulous time in Phoenix!)

and cause there seem to be a lot of Christmas in July themes going around!

A few weeks ago I found this cool book at the goodwill,

it's a cookbook of sorts, and it's from the late 1800's and is out of Virginia..

Don't worry, it's a reprint, but I thought it was perfect for this little smash page!

The image is from The Ocotopode Factory,

and I added some glittery embossing to her dress and ear muffs

Here's her close up

She was fun and pretty easy to color!

May Day

Happy May Day!!!

Is that something that you celebrate???

I remember when I was a little girl that we would leave flowers on our

adoptive grandmothers front step...

I think this is maybe a long forgotten holiday to bring in Spring!

It is sort of comical since it's been over 100 for the last 3 days here in Phoenix!

But I wanted to play with some of my new washi tape!

I got the sketch from Flutterby Wednesdays,

and I just love this awesome butterfly washi, and the new little blue washi too!

Do you celebrate May Day??  Take a minute to look it up, it's a fun little holiday!

It's my party

Happy Thursday all my bloggy friends!

I had a snippet of time to craft today, and I went at it!

My girlfriend Sasha was admiring a bookmark I was using at work last night, and

she showed me her bookmark.... it was an old napkin!

That simply is not acceptable, so I let her rifle through my digi's and she pointed out this one

from Saturated Canary.

This of course immediately brings to mind the song "It's my Party" by Leslie Gore.

I colored her up using my copics, prismacolor markers, and a bic fine tip sharpie!

I die cut her out, and also the little sign is a die cut as is the heart!

The graphic black and white background was some tissue paper that DH was gonna throw away... I saved it from a life of misery in a landfill!!! 

Here is the close up of the digi!

I'm still struggling with coloring hair....

I hope you like what you've seen today!
