I think every little girl at one time or another dreams of being a princess. When I think of little girls, I think of the color pink. A pink princess … what could be sweeter?
Thanks so much for the visit! Dee
My little grand-daughter is turning two on Sunday and I wanted and extra special birthday card for her so of course I had to make one for her. She is definitely a little princess and she knows it 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by! Dee
In just a few days we will be celebrating Christmas with our children and their families. As one of my grandson’s pointed out the other day – it was Christmas. I tried to explain to him that just because there were presents under the tree, it wasn’t Christmas. His reply was but it’s snowing outside so it is Christmas. It definitely looks like Christmas outside this morning as we received a fresh blanket of snow last night, everything look clean and white outside.
My wish is for each of you is to have a safe and special holiday this year and the most wonderful 2014! Dee
I find this Sugar Nellie stamp just adorable and so much fun to color!
I’m so glad you stopped by – I hope you’ll stop by again soon! Dee
It’s been a crazy weekend! Our son and his wife at in Cozumel enjoying a much deserved vacation. While they are gone we are watching our 2 year old grandson – it is such a joy to have him staying with us! He makes us laugh, he is at the “why” stage, he gives us hugs – what more could one ask for??? While he was napping, I did find time to make a card and thought I’d share it with you.
Thanks so much for the visit – see you again soon! Dee
Where do you get your inspiration from when making your cards? I LOVE all of the challenges out there and when I saw the photo for Inspired By’s challenge this week I just knew I had to give it a go. Add in a great sketch and I am in crafting heaven, for this card I chose this fantastic sketch from Friday Sketch!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Dee
Not your traditional Christmas color scheme but I wanted to make a girly Christmas card and to me that means pink!
Thanks so much for stopping by – Happy Holidays! Dee
Today is one of those magical days 12-12-12. Have you ever thought of how much we use the number of 12; the hours of the day, the months of the year, you receive a dozen of roses, I could go on…
For me, I could use another month this year! I started my holiday cards early this year so I wouldn’t be scrambling at the last minute. I thought I was all done with my card making but when one of my brothers bought almost half of my stash, I’m just about done replenishing my collection of holiday cards.
Happy Holidays! Dee
By now you all know how much I enjoy a good sketch challenge – I tend to get in a rut designing the layout of my cards so I really appreciate all of the sketch challenges. I have my favorite colors so I really like color challenges too. Now combining a sketch and color challenge together – that really is a challenge (for me anyway)!
My card is using this week sketch from The Sugar Bowl and the colors are from the optional twist.
I would have never put these colors together for a card but you know what… they really do work well together.

I originally started out coloring a pale peach dress but it was missing something so I added the red and what a difference it made – the dress just pops now, so pretty! I hope you enjoyed your visit – drop by again soon, Dee!
