Happiest of birthdays!!

 

Image is from My Besties, colored with pencils, ink on a cotton ball helped to create the blue background. 

Rounding the corners of both the image and the light green paper behind it. Layered it all on a pre printed birthday cupcake paper. I created a tag banner for the sentiment with a birthday greeting . Added 3 tiny gems in the corner.

Mice n fish n flowers

Image is from house mouse, colored with pencils. White card stock, yellow paper with a strip of stripes in colors. Used a fancy frame die cut around the image. Used a couple gems to finish it off. 

Mice and fish…what a combo!   But fish are amongst my favorite pets are fish! Not much work, betas are so fun to watch with their fancy fins. And tulips are some of my favorite flowers 💐

PIP POLKADOODLE Challenge 2628

Hello! Happy Monday!!

We here at PIP are glad you have joined us this week! 

We have a great sponsor this week…POLKADOODLE!

Be sure to pop over to their site and grab an image and come play along….YOU could be the lucky winner and end up with more goodies from them. GOOD LUCK,

My image is  an older one from Polkadoodle, but still one of my favorites!  I’ve colored with pencils, used an oval stitched diecut, edged in green to match the striped paper I’ve used for the background. I finished it off with a few tiny gems on the flowers. 

Everyone poops!

Everyone that comes to our house and uses the bathroom ends up with a little chuckle 😂

I created this wall design for my bathroom using a scrap of 1-1/2 “ wood, white washed it. Added sticker letters to create the words.

I purchased the white larger letters PPS. I  purchased the black wire basket and added 3 tools of toilet paper. Then hung it all above the toilet in our bathroom.

B is for Birthday Boy!

My besties image, colored in pencil. Used an oval stitched die cut at an angle on this card. Layered on a dark blue denim paper full of dots and stripes. On white paper I used a light blue ink I swiped it through out before layering on the denim layer.  Used one of my favorite birthday stamps. Made this for my Grandson. Chose it because he loves puppies and balloons.

Blue moondrea

 

The image is by Moondra I colored With pencils using ink for the background, I started on a bluish purple card stock and then tried to match up the green using a fun punch that I had as a border on the right side of the card layer the image on top of that used some of the skeleton pieces from the punch on the card as flowers putting a tiny gemstone in the centers. I love the florals in this picture.
