Happy Birthday

Sending this to someone who has 3 dachshunds. I tried to color each one their true color but not sure how 100% accurate I got. LOL

Sending Hugs

I painted this plaid background with just watercolors. I cut out this heart with my die cut from Concord & 9th. I learned this technique in Kristina Werner's class over the summer.

Weee. Best Sledding Ever Valentine

Still no snow here in real life, but I am sure having fun playing with this snowman set!! I just love him!! I made this cute snowman card into a Valentine for a friend. For the hearts, I didn't want them to be too dark so I first stamped them off on paper, then lightly stamped on the watercolored background.

Happiness is a cup of coffee and a good book

I'm feeling much better since getting my tooth pulled and still eating soft foods. I've been doing a lot of reading the past few days and I even made this card :).

I Chimply Adore You

I survived my tooth being pulled yesterday. It was a much longer appt than anticipated (2 hours instead of just 1) but they also added some bone in so now my "hole" has to heal for 4 months before my new tooth is implanted. The pain has been minimal and I have been alternating Motrin and Tylenol every 3 hours. I even set my alarm all night so I got very little sleep but I'm not hurting much at all. The swelling is also minimal since I have been putting ice on it too. Today I have to do heat on it. Still have to eat soft foods for 2-3 days.

I love this elephant and monkey image by Purple Onion Designs.

We will be friends forever ... you know too much

Tomorrow I get a tooth extracted for preparation for a tooth implant in several months. I am dreading it but it needs to be done!!

I love these 3 flamingos by Angie Blom. So easy to print off and color.

Hello, My Friend

Got out my stencil by Picket Fence to make this forest of trees. It's so easy and adds no bulk to the card like another die cut would. All critters by My Favorite Things and colored with Catherine Pooler inks and water.

Weeee!

This snowman is perfect for today as we "might" be getting some snow in NC today. It only snows once or twice a year so I am like a kid at Christmas when it does!! We'll see if we get anything!! It's just raining/sleeting right now.
