Thinking of You!
Happy Wednesday HH fans!
I don't often colour flowers only because I love colouring animals. But today I'm sharing an easy to colour yet beautiful image called Thinking of You. I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a card like this in my stash & I had to scramble to get something put together for someone. There are those times that we want to send a little inspiration to let someone know they are in our thoughts.
This images comes with the sentiment right in the centre, to change it up & use it for another purpose is as easy as masking out the centre.

Best Friends Forever
Happy Monday HH fans!
What's better than getting to go shopping with your BFF? I'm happy to share that we have just taken our Shopping Divas out of retirement. These beauties are now available again!
After I stamped these gals I wasn't too sure if I wanted the look to be bright or muted. I coloured them up a couple of times and ultimately decided on what I thought was something classy but elegant. I just had to add a pop of bright green in there....just because lol.
These gals just remind me of going out for the day with my BFF, we love to hit up the local scrapbook store & the quilt shops.

Birthday wishes from Shelbert
Happy Friday HH Fans!
I'm poppin' in today to share our adorable little turtle, his name is Shelbert.
For this clean & simple card I stamped my image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Copic friendly cardstock. I coloured him up with some darker tones to match my patterned paper.
I cut some banners from patterned paper off the same pad. I had some yellow die cut stars just sitting on my desk from an earlier project & they matched perfectly....I needed a little something because I was not using any enamel dots or ribbon for this design. I'm so happy with how this cutie turned out, I hope you like it too.

Deepest Sympathy
This is always a hard card to make but when a friends older brother passed away a few weeks ago I needed to make her a card. With Deepest Sympathy from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is a pretty stamp to make a card with to pass along condolences. I have made a very CAS card this time around but I also have some ideas to make cards with the sentiment masked off so I can stamp another sentiment in the middle.

Spring is here & it's time for gardening!
Happy Monday HH Fans!
As I write up this post & it's Sunday. We started the day off with buckets of rain falling so I was totally dreading going out to do our weekly shopping. BUT alas the rain stopped & the sun came out, it's turned out to be a beautiful day. Now that makes me want to be outside in the garden lol.
Since we are so close to being able to do some things in our gardens I thought what better time than now to bring Lil' Gardener out of retirement. This sweet little girl just warms my heart, I love her!
I decided to cut up my sentiment in 2 pieces & I like the look. I added a little sparkle here & there with Stickles and some glaze over the water in the can.

Some birthday wishes from the ocean
Happy Friday HH Fans!
So I've had this little idea running around in my head for a long while. I wanted to make a couple of birthday cards for my stash designed around the ocean. Something bright, cute & fun....these are what I came up with.
The main stamp is our Sea Floor Background & I chose the Sea Turtle and Oliva the Octopus for my two card additional images. High Hopes has so many different images you can use for an ocean themed card. Check out the links below for more.
The black frame around the main image is cut using 2 different size rectangle dies.
