Like Two Peas in a Pod card

This card makes me smile.  You can use it for a love or for a friendship card.  Super easy to color since peas are pretty much always green.  The set didn't come with a saying so I found one I liked on Amazon.com

This is one of my favorite Easter sets.  I made this card for my aunt & uncle down in Florida for this Easter.  Next time, I'll try watercolors but for this time I used my Copics.

Dog Sympathy card

With all the love our pets give us, we do need to say goodbye to them.  It's never easy but it's always nice to know someone shares our grief until we open our hearts to a new pet or two.  This card uses a simple blending of Distress Inks that I masked off with painters tape.

A Great Mom card

I've got a new found love of kangaroo's after watching videos from a rescue site on Instagram.  They are adorable.  I made this kangaroo into a birthday card or Mother's Day card for mom.  I added a paper doily for a more feminine look since kangaroo's aren't very colorful.

Perfect Partners card

There's always magic when you find that special someone to share your life with, especially when they like doing the same things that you do.  That's what this couple represents in my mind.  It was a fun stamp to create this card.

Happy Easter Kitten in a Basket card

I can picture my two cats crawling into an Easter basket.  Maybe not wearing the ears but definitely edging everything in the basket out so they could take it over.  That's why I knew this stamp belonged in my collection.

Enjoy the Magic & Wonder of Spring card

Here's another Easter/Spring card that I made.  I opted for more of a Spring theme since I'm so tired of looking out my windows and seeing snow.  Since the time jumped forward, so should the season.
