Sweet Lucy

Yesterday I had a "Huh" moment. I always put my latest cards up on the bookshelf to admire until the next sets of cards replaces them. My youngest daughter takes a look at this one and yesterday's mermaid and says "Mommy they look like me."

My youngest is a red head. I told her that I was thinking of her when I colored them and that I was thinking of her sister when I colored the next two that I will be posting in the near future. Looking back, I'm always thinking of them when I buy or color images. I have alot of red-headed or brunette little girls in my images. Then I said to myself, "Huh, I didn't realize I did that." My "Huh" moment...

So let's just call this one for who it is, My Lexi girl. LOL!! Her birthday is several months away and I hate that she will be soon in the double digits. They are growing up too fast. Lexi lived in piktails when she was smaller and I still put some on her every now and then, she still likes them.

My image is from CC Designs and her name is Party Time Lucy. She has the cutest cheeks you just want to squeeze!! She's colored in Copics and her dress is paper pieced. The paper is from MME Hoody Doody collection.

Hope you like!

A Birthday card to Share

Happy President's Day! How many of you remember when we actually got Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's day off? LOL!! Okay, I'm dating myself again. I have no personal birthdays to celebrate right now and noticed that my "card giving" stash was out of birthday cards so I made one. I was just in the mood too. How can I not be after picking up this birthday Lucy from CC Designs. She's just to cute! I paired her up with paper from Echo park and the coolest gift punch I picked up by Martha Stewart. My little flower is of course handmade. I almost forgot how much I liked making flowers too.

I've done alot of coloring lately and now I have to take a break. Really I do. My job involves me being on a computer and then I go home and stamp and color, well my arm is killing me!! I went over my friend's house this weekend for what was supposed to be a stamping play date and just couldn't do it and chatted the entire time. SO I'm taking a small break from coloring for a while and moved my mouse at work to the opposite hand in hopes that I give my hand, arm, shoulder a break.

Fortunately since I love to color, I have plenty of images that need a place to call home and I will be able to play that way but I am sad that coloring and stamping has to take a back seat for awhile.

I hope you enjoy your day today for those in the USA that have it off. It's gorgeous today is sunny Florida 80+ degrees outside! How is it by you?

A Card for a Child

I think this was the longest week ever! I'm so happy it's Friday! My kids and I have been preparing for next week, FCAT. I know they will do great but even I am nervous for them. Don't get me started on standardized testing! I always knew my stuff but froze on all standard testing. I just hope they don't inherit that trait from me! Well with this Friday comes a new Fussy and Fancy Challenge! Our theme is A Card for a Child. Isn't this cutie adorable! I won her from All that Scraps monthly challenge. Her name is Swiss Pixie Cupcake Brigitta and she was so much fun to color! My paper is from Echo Park, LOVE thier paper. I just can't get enough of it!

I hope you hop in over to Fussy and Fancy and view all the great inspiration the rest of the design team came up with and join us in these next two weeks! Keep your finger and toes crossed for my kiddos and thier first taste of FCAT. As always love to hear from you and come back soon!
